05:58 < anticw> iant: gccgo always makes prolog/epilog code for discontig
stacks?
05:59 <+iant> it always make a prologue for it, yes
05:59 <+iant> (the epilogue doesn't change)
05:59 < anticw> and if not using gold as ld?
06:00 <+iant> it still splits the stack, but if you don't use gold you can
get stack overruns in some cases
06:00 < anticw> *blink*
06:00 < anticw> really?
06:00 <+iant> also when not using gold it uses much larger stacks for each
goroutine
06:00 <+iant> really
06:01 < anticw> ouch
06:01 <+iant> what gold does is look for code compiled with -fsplit-stack
which calls code which was not compiled with -fsplit-stack
06:01 < anticw> some cases ...  you mean on part with c + pthreads?
06:01 <+iant> when gold sees such a case, it automatically adjusts the
prologue to request a much larger stack, so that the non-split-stack code will
have a large stack
06:01 -!- dju [dju@at.dmz.me] has joined #go-nuts

06:01 -!- dju [dju@fsf/member/dju] has joined #go-nuts
06:01 <+iant> the stack overruns when not using gold will only happen when
Go code calls C code
06:02 <+iant> which does happen via libgo
06:02 <+iant> it's not common, though
06:02 <+iant> all the libgo testsuite passes when not using gold
06:02 < anticw> yeah, not need it here
06:03 < anticw> can i suppress the prologue generation?
06:03 <+iant> no
06:03 <+iant> wait, maybe
06:04 <+iant> yes, you can compile with -fno-split-stack
06:04 <+iant> that should disable the split-stack prologue
06:04 -!- Tv [~tv@cpe-76-168-227-45.socal.res.rr.com] has joined #go-nuts
06:04 < anticw> yeah ...  that works
06:04 < anticw> my function is down to one insn with that
06:04 < anticw> .cfi_startproc
06:04 < anticw> what does that tell gas to do?
06:04 <+iant> that's not even an insn
06:04 < anticw> no, that's before it
06:05 <+iant> oh
06:05 < anticw> the function is: jmp _wrapper
06:05 <+iant> that tells gas where a function starts, so that it generates
the correct stack unwind information
06:06 < anticw> how long has it done that?
06:06 <+iant> couple years
06:06 < anticw> for c as well?
06:06 <+iant> it's only used if you enable exceptions
06:06 <+iant> which is not the default for C
06:06 < anticw> ah ok
06:06 <+iant> though you can use -fexceptions
06:06 < anticw> how does that work in c?
06:07 <+iant> you can give a variable a cleanup attribute
06:08 <+iant> it names a function which is run when the variable goes out of
scope
06:08 < anticw> __attribute__((...)) style?
06:08 <+iant> this is a gcc extensin, of course
06:08 <+iant> yes

06:19 < anticw> iant: can/will gcc[go] tell me a list of options for -march
and -mtune?
06:19 <+iant> I don't think so; I think the list is only in the docs
06:20 < nsf> anticw:
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.4.4/gcc/i386-and-x86_002d64-Options.html#i386-and-x86_002d64-Options
06:20 <+iant> although those are the docs for 4.4
06:20 <+iant> and gccgo is based on the upcoming 4.6
06:20 < nsf> yes
06:21 < anticw> yeah, recent stuff has AVX support
06:21 < anticw> just saw that now ...  kinda cute i guess
06:21 <+iant> also atom
06:23 < anticw> not clear what you do for atom differently to core2 though
06:23 < anticw> other than time things with a calendar
06:23 < anticw> (i have a few atoms machines, they are really painfully
slow)
06:24 <+iant> doing correct scheduling for atom makes a big difference for
performance
06:24 < nsf> atom has no out-of-order execution
06:24 <+iant> that is much less true for core-2
06:24 <+iant> and other recent x86 chips
06:24 < anticw> i know atom is in-order ...  just wasn't aware gcc did a lot
to accommodate for that
06:25 < anticw> i guess it might help with older via and embedded x86 stuff
too which is mostly in-order
06:25 <+iant> yeah, but (getting kind of technical here) in 32-bit mode
there isn't much scheduling freedom because you are pretty much register
constrained; in 64-bit mode there is more freedom to move instructions around by
renaming registers
06:27 < anticw> iant: yeah, there was a push from some people to create
x86-32 ...  32-bit mode with more registers
06:27 < anticw> very glad that never happenned
06:27 < nsf> another layer of incompatibility, bad idea
06:28 < anticw> well, it's not clear it would ever be worth the effort ...
and the insn encoding would have been potentially a bit icky
06:28 < anticw> and you get another abi ...
06:29 < anticw> mips did some of this ...  there are 4 abi's people use and
a couple less well known, nasty stuff

11:48 < wrtp> TheSeeker: yeah, but maybe there's a tendency to use more
goroutines in Go...
11:49 < TheSeeker> Try running freenet.  less than 300 threads there is very
light load.  :)
11:55 < Namegduf> wrtp: I think that'd be a lot less annoying, maybe not
annoying at all, if the bad goroutine was the *last*, not the *first* one printed
11:55 < Namegduf> Then you'd never need to scroll up and look at the others.
:P
11:55 < wrtp> Namegduf: if you've got a hangup, there's no way of knowing
which one is bad...
11:56 < Namegduf> Ah.
11:56 < Namegduf> You mean a deadlock?

12:11 -!- stalled [~stalled@unaffiliated/stalled] has joined #go-nuts
12:11 < wrtp> actually structural regexps are more useful - you can delete
whole stack traces that way, trivially

12:13 < wrtp> oops x/(.+\n)+/g/NetFD/d of course :-)

13:19 < exch> It seems most have not been updated in quite a while.  Since

https://github.com/jteeuwen/gvm/blob/master/testdata/99bottles.gvm
13:24 < alouca> internally we're really excited about go, but i think its
too early
13:24 < exch> alouca: you need a scripting language for that?
13:24 < alouca> exch: well, it supports some "tunable" behavior, and we do
that via Javascript ATM
13:24 < exch> ah
13:25 < alouca> we also need some dynamic code loading, which i guess it
isn't available as well
13:25 < exch> Perhaps someone could port V8 to Go at some point.  That would
certainly open up a few avenues

13:25 < alouca> indeed
13:25 < exch> Go doesn't do dynamic linking (except for cgo when binding c
libs)
13:25 < KBme> you mean bindings to v8 right?
13:26 < KBme> i don't think anyone will port v8 to go
13:26 < alouca> bindings to V8 would be more sensible yes
13:26 < exch> bindings are a possibility, but a straight up port would be
nice to.  Although the speed is probably not doable in Go
13:26 < cde> doesn't Go have type inference ?
13:27 < KBme> not like haskell
13:27 < cde> by the way, haskell.org #lol

13:28 < Namegduf> No, you're just using the tool wrong.
13:29 < Namegduf> That tool detects whether there is a server responding at
whatever the DNS resolves to
13:29 < Namegduf> Not whether it is the right server
13:29 < Namegduf> In this case, it's a holding page.
13:29 < KBme> i just checked haskell.org looks fine
13:29 < bawr> Well, haskell.org resolves *and* points to an atual haskell
page here.
13:29 < KBme> here too
13:29 < Namegduf> Not here, then.

13:30 < cde> probably
13:30 < Namegduf> Either that or it's just recently broken
13:30 < Namegduf> And *you're* the ones seeing the cached version
13:30 < KBme> or it was recently broken
13:30 < KBme> yep

13:30 < Namegduf> Or not.
13:30 < KBme> 24 hours
13:30 < Namegduf> Yeah.
13:30 < KBme> and the moment of truth will be here
13:31 < bawr> Or we could just query the authoritative DNS server for
haskell.org, but I'm too lazy to figure out how to do that.  ;)
13:31 < nsf> who cares about haskell anyway?
13:32 < bawr> Hm, but in theory, would it be hard to add some type inference
to Go?
13:32 < Namegduf> I don't think it's desired, not sure if it's hard or not.
13:32 < nsf> Go has type inference
13:32 < KBme> kind of
13:32 < Namegduf> Go right now can infer the type of a variable being
declared from its initialisation, but anything else starts to get complicated to
follow and reason with
13:32 < nsf> in a sense that in certain cases it can infer types
13:32 < Namegduf> Which is the enemy of simplicity and thus Go
13:33 < bawr> Just wondering here, I don't think it would really fit.
13:33 < Namegduf> To sum up in a very poor way a lot of mailing list stuff
13:33 < nsf> other kinds of type inference mostly mean: the type of your
variable depends on what happens somewhere else in the code
13:33 < nsf> and I think it's just stupid kind of indirection
13:34 < KBme> anyone ever compiled ghc?
13:35 < bawr> Also, I care about Haskell.  In the same way that I would care
for a drooling half-uncle, I guess.  He's family, but I don't want that spittle on

18:19 < exch> Urtie: if you really need an exact byte copy of the data, you
can use the unsafe package do do some trickery.  Although I'm not sure if that is
a safe way to go about things.  Endian problems for one.  And there is a
possibility that the data representation in the runtime on the receiving end is
different from the sending end
18:20 < Namegduf> Figure out exactly what the format it is expecting is
18:20 < Namegduf> Including endianness

18:21 < Namegduf> And put values in the right place in it.
18:25 < Urtie> yiyus / Namegduf: The struct already has the correct types,
so if it's converted to something that can be stuck inside a C-struct it's all
good.  Does the encoding/binary package handle that, or do I need to write a
method for the struct that creates, populates and returns a byte slice?

18:28 < Urtie> Namegduf: So TCPConn.Write doesn't convert the byte slice to
network order before sending it out on the wire?
18:29 < Namegduf> Bytes don't have a "network order".
18:29 < Namegduf> Larger structures do.
18:29 < Namegduf> So no.
18:29 < Namegduf> Endianness is not applicable to sequences of bytes.
18:30 < Urtie> So I guess it's a combination then, use encoding/binary to
convert to correct endianess, and a method on the struct to create a byte slice?
18:30 < Namegduf> Byte slices do not have endianness.
18:31 < Urtie> Is there some convention here that I am missing, where I
should write a method on the struct for this that will satisfy some interface that
TCPConn.Write will accept?  I am very green on this :/
18:31 < Namegduf> They are a sequence of bytes.
18:31 < Namegduf> What you're trying to do is a lot more complicated than
you think.
18:31 < Urtie> Yes, I understand that, so I need to convert to correct
endianess before building the byte slice, I think I understand that part
18:31 < Namegduf> A structure in memory's binary representation isn't
consistent between platforms.
18:31 < Namegduf> Types have different sizes, and potentially arbitrary
padding, and different endianness.
18:32 < Namegduf> One way to make it work is to have your method that
generates a byte slice handle all of these.  A fixed number of bytes for each
field in fixed positions.
18:32 < skelterjohn> you need to define (or use) an additional protocol
other than just getting a []byte from a struct and getting a struct from a []byte
18:32 < Namegduf> You will need to find out what format the thing you're
sending to expects it in.

18:33 < Urtie> I know the format, or the protocol rather.  I have an old
daemon I write in C a long time ago, I am just playing with Go to speak to it.
18:34 < skelterjohn> does your C daemon just unpack the stream directly into
a struct?  because that will only work in some cases
18:34 < skelterjohn> granted, probably most "relevant" cases, but it's not
guaranteed
18:35 < skelterjohn> i say most "relevant" cases because i'm betting you're

18:35 < skelterjohn> but i'm making a lot of assumptions without waiting for

18:35 < Urtie> Yes, it does.  It's a very simple/silly protocol with a
32-byte session_id, a 32-bit signed int for an opcode, a 64-bit unsigned int for a
length and then a stream of binary data.
18:36 < Urtie> Well, I like the idea of not making those assumptions, for
the sake of learning
18:36 < skelterjohn> right - but you cannot specify what kind of packing the
compiler decided to use
18:36 < Urtie> Right
18:37 < skelterjohn> so your best bet is probably to read/write each of the
fields by themselves, in order, with an endianness that you decide upon

18:38 < Urtie> Ok, so for the sake of just handling this one step at a time,
so my brain won't explode, if I am trying to satisfy a protocol-spec and can
assume it's handled correctly at the other end, what is the best/most correct way
to turn my struct into something TCPConn.Write will accept?  A method on the
struct that converts the data into a byte slice where I took care of the endianess
on each field?
18:38 < Namegduf> Yes.
18:38 -!- artefon [~thiago@dhcp16.usuarios.dcc.ufmg.br] has quit [Quit: bye]
18:38 < Namegduf> Although that requires copying the data
18:39 < Namegduf> It's probably simpler to have a method that takes an
io.Writer
18:39 < skelterjohn> typical thing to do would be...  right, what Namegduf
just said
18:39 < Namegduf> And just has the struct write the "byte slice" as it
generates it
18:39 < Namegduf> i.e.  for each field, use encoding/binary to write
separately.
18:40 < Urtie> Great, now it's starting to make sense to me conceptionally
:).  Is there an example of using io.Writer that's somewhat applicable that what I
am doing?  The syntax of all this is very new to me.
18:41 < Namegduf> func (m *MyStruct) WriteSelf(w io.Writer) {
w.Write("Blah!") }
18:41 < Namegduf> That won't actually work, as "Blah!" is a string and it
wants a []byte
18:41 < Namegduf> But put in whatever writes you need.
18:42 < Namegduf> Using encoding/binary, it'd be binary.Write(w, bigEndian,
someVal)
18:42 < skelterjohn> you can use
http://golang.org/pkg/encoding/binary/#Write
18:42 < Namegduf> As binary.Write wants a Writer, yeah.
18:43 < Urtie> Awesome.  Big thanks, guys :)
18:43 < skelterjohn> binary.Write(w, binary.BigEndian,
myIntOrMyFloatOrWhatever)
18:43 < Namegduf> Ah, yah.
18:43 < Namegduf> *yeah.
18:43 < skelterjohn> i should really read what people write before i hit
return
18:43 < skelterjohn> to avoid duplication
18:43 < Namegduf> It'd need to be binary.BigEndian or binary.LittleEndian,
whichever you use.

18:58 < Urtie> So now it's getting interesting :).  Getting "*StructX does
not implement io.Writer (missing Write method)".  So I do need a Write-method on
the struct?  What does that need to contain?
18:58 < skelterjohn> look at io.Writer
18:58 < Namegduf> No.
18:58 < skelterjohn> in the doc
18:58 < Namegduf> Your struct shouldn't be a Writer
18:58 < Namegduf> And you shouldn't be passing it to something expecting one
18:59 < Namegduf> A Writer is something you write *to*

20:55 < cdsgf> easy way to do case-insensitive string comparison?  don't see
any methods in pkg strings or utf8
20:57 < nsf> http://nsf.github.com/go/strings.html?f:ToLower!
20:58 < nsf> string.ToLower both strings and then compare as usual
20:58 < nsf> works perfectly for short strings
20:58 < uriel> and long ones
20:59 < nsf> for long ones there is a space issue in theory, so you may want
to lower each letter individually and compare

21:20 < nsf> it takes a lot of time
21:20 < KBme> mercurial does hooks, all you need to do is add an post-commit
hook i would guess
21:22 < nsf> and well, sometimes commits break builds intentionally
21:22 < uriel> KBme: I think that is how the current build dashboard works
21:22 < KBme> well, you can do it by push also, i think
21:22 < nsf> simply because some changes should be presented as nice
separate commits of different stuff
21:22 < nsf> yay!  they've fixed the build
21:23 < uriel> anyone remembers where is the main gccgo repo?
21:23 < uriel> and is there a changelog somewhere?
21:23 < nsf> you mean the frontend?
21:23 < nsf> because the official place for gccgo is gcc's svn now afaik
21:23 < KBme> you could do it by push
21:24 < KBme> a push usually would group those commits together
21:24 < taruti> uriel: svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/branches/gccgo
21:24 < nsf> uriel: anyway, you should ask iant
21:25 <+iant> the main gccgo repository is gcc trunk at the moment
21:25 <+iant> there isn't a ChangeLog, just the revision history
21:25 < taruti> ah, so no using the gccgo branch anymore?
21:25 <+iant> not right at the moment
21:25 <+iant> I'll update the branch soon, I think
21:26 < taruti> are there any issues with using -fno-split-stack with gccgo?
(hunting some bugs that are probably unrelated)

21:27 <+iant> now that I think about it, it might break the garbage
collector
21:27 <+iant> which needs to find the stacks
21:27 <+iant> and currently uses the split stack support to do that
21:27 <+iant> it might work anyhow, I'm not sure
21:27 <+iant> of course you can get stack overflow
