00:00 < SmoothPorcupine> So os.Status would be preferable to os.Exit, yes?
00:01 < nickbp> neither would be preferable to proper panics
00:01 < Namegduf> That does not force that convention.

00:02 < SmoothPorcupine> Okay, I can't tell if either of you is saying yes
or no.
00:03 < nickbp> theyre both bad ideas
00:03 < Namegduf> You failed to prove that claim. It doesn't prove whether
it's true or false.

00:05 < SmoothPorcupine> Again, I'm not able to deduce, or induce, for that
matter, your opinions on Status vs. Exit.
00:07 < Namegduf> I've not yet seen a full analysis of the pros vs cons of
each. So I don't have one that'll stand up for discussion.
00:08 < SmoothPorcupine> I'm not asking you to decide the fate of Go.
00:08 < Namegduf> Aw.
00:09 < SmoothPorcupine> Personally, when I'm reading code, I'd like to be
able to be certain that any given function I'm reading is going to complete.
00:10 < SmoothPorcupine> If I see a return, I know it completes there.
00:11 < SmoothPorcupine> If there's an underlying os.Exit or panic in one of
the functions that I haven't read the source to yet, it takes that much longer to
understand the code.
00:11 < SmoothPorcupine> It probably doens't help that the last thing I read
the source code of is an init program in C. <_<
00:11 < Namegduf> I agree. This is solved by conventions against them
outside of the current package.
00:12 < Namegduf> (Or at all, in the case of os.Exit)
00:12 < SmoothPorcupine> God that flow control there is a pain in the ass.
00:12 < SmoothPorcupine> doesn't*
00:13 < SmoothPorcupine> So it's okay to confuse me in intrapackage source?
00:14 < SmoothPorcupine> See, I don't think conventions solve anything.
00:15 < Namegduf> There's no such thing as intrapackage source.
00:15 < Namegduf> Source is either in one package or another.
00:15 < SmoothPorcupine> Intra, not inter.
00:15 < Namegduf> If you are editing code in one package, and it uses
panics, you should be aware of it.
00:16 < Namegduf> A package is the unit of encapsulation in Go, you should
be aware of what all the functions in one you're working on do and any panics
used.
00:16 < SmoothPorcupine> Yes, obviously.
00:16 < Namegduf> So you shouldn't be confused there, either.
00:17 < SmoothPorcupine> So what you're saying is, within any given package,
the source code can be as obfuscated as it wants and that's not a problem at all
on any level whatsoever?
00:19 < Namegduf> No.

00:20 < SmoothPorcupine> If it were possible, code wouldn't need
documentation because it is easier and faster to read the code. This would be
ideal, yes?
00:21 < SmoothPorcupine> And I stress, if it were possible.
00:26 < |Craig|> its not that the code does not need documentation, but
rather the code is the documentation

00:31 < SmoothPorcupine> Yes, but if you don't mind reading code, that
possibility is always open.
00:32 < SmoothPorcupine> Ideally, the code is so straighforward that no
natural language can get you a grasp of the code with less effort than simply
reading the code.

01:01 < mdxi> hah! i just barely saved myself from asking a really stupid
question, at the last second!
01:01 < fzzbt> is anyone familiar with the template package? i always get
warnings like "name not exported: title in type main.dBase". Is there anyway to
avoid exporting all my struct fields to get template use them or should i just
export every field?
01:01 < mdxi> so now i'll share it with the group: 'fmt.Printf("%x",
time.Nanoseconds)' is completely valid, executable code, but almost certainly
doesn't do what you want
01:02 < fzzbt> did you forget ()
01:04 < fzzbt> i like how in scala, for example, you can leave () out and
things actually work like one would expect
01:07 < mdxi> yes, it should be 'time.Nanoseconds()'. and that works in
Perl as well, because it's obvious that you're making a method call, and not
wanting to know where the coderef lives in memory
01:07 < mdxi> the part i'm actually surprised by is being handed a
function's address. i would have expected that to be a compile error.

01:11 < mdxi> i was thinking in Perl because i'm writing something in Perl5
and then planning to turn around and implement it in Go as well, adn i was doing a
tiny little benchmark in both languages (generating 10,000 UUIDs)
01:12 < mdxi> they're both the same speed for all practical purposes, but
that makes sense. reading from urandom and formatting bytes as a string are gonna
boil down the same code in both runtimes, i imagine
01:12 < Namegduf> Perl isn't compiled, so it won't generate code.
01:12 < Namegduf> But your example is probably dominated by time to do I/O.
01:12 < mdxi> i'm well aware of how perl is implemented :)
01:12 < SmoothPorcupine> Yeah it's amazing how insignificantly little
functions are ever needed as first class objects.

01:14 < mdxi> Perl scripts aren't compiled (to native code). Perl itself
*is*, and the code to read from files lives in the Perl runtime itself.
01:16 < Namegduf> Well, it doesn't live in the Go runtime.

09:39 < str1ngs> I'm creating some bindings to libalpm . and I'm working on
the _test.go file. for some of the tests I need to init libalpm . is there away
to not have to do that for each method test?
09:43 < edsrzf_> If initializing is a one-time thing, you could put it in
the init function in the _test.go file.

09:46 < str1ngs> edsrzf_: ok thanks I was thinking that. only issue is how
to I test the Init() function then?
09:46 < edsrzf_> What do you mean?
09:47 < str1ngs> well Init() is one of the methods I need to test
09:47 < str1ngs> if I put it in init() and it fails
09:47 < str1ngs> also I need to release after
09:48 < edsrzf_> Ah, yeah, that's what I was wondering. If you need to
release it, then maybe init isn't the way to go.
09:49 < str1ngs> ok what I'm doing now is I call Init then run test. and
defer Release
09:49 < edsrzf_> I'm not sure if there's a very good way to do things
without just calling the Init method at the beginning of each test that needs it.
09:50 < str1ngs> hold on I'll post some code will help
09:50 < vice_virtue> you could use a separate test file to test the
initialisation
09:51 < str1ngs> https://gist.github.com/847142
09:51 < str1ngs> vice_virtue: ah that's a good idea
09:51 < str1ngs> vice_virtue: still not sure how I'd handle Release though
useing init()
09:52 < edsrzf> I think you'd have no choice but to leak.
09:52 < vice_virtue> or put the code in init() into a function by another
name, and write a test case with a different signature (not (TestXXX, something
else) and test it in a separate execution
09:52 < edsrzf> And if you put the Init test in a separate file your init in
the other file will still run, giving you double Init calls. I don't know if
that's a problem or not.
09:53 < str1ngs> edsrzf: ya I'd have to check the C code see if it is
09:53 < vice_virtue> that's true
09:53 < str1ngs> imo probably beset to make each test function isolated
09:54 < str1ngs> its more typing but.. imo safer
09:55 < str1ngs> ya think I'll keep is this way for now. thanks for the
help
09:58 < str1ngs> also does this cast seem right

10:36 < jokoon> question: in theory, is go as equally fast compared to

10:36 < jokoon> I mean on the big picture
10:37 < str1ngs> jokoon: from what I have read. and my experience go is not
optimized at this time. but.. that does make it slow either
10:38 < jokoon> at this time, but in theory, with maturity it will be
10:38 < str1ngs> yes
10:40 < vice_virtue> With maturity, go should be as quick as a C++ program
using concurrency well and making use of RTTI.
10:40 < str1ngs> jokoon: how are there are something that are on a order
faster then C. ie with out tests you can build the go tree in about 40s
10:41 < jokoon> str1ngs yes but that's because go doesn't use headers
10:42 < str1ngs> and handles dependancies alot better. some would call that
a feature
10:42 < str1ngs> ever have to build a gcc toolchain?
10:42 < jokoon> and I mean execution time, not compile time, even if such

10:56 < fzzbt> using the template package, how can you have delimiter
characters in your template without causing the template to think that they are
template variables?
10:56 < vice_virtue> http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Fold does a much
better job of explaining it
10:56 < Rennex> aka inject or reduce
11:00 * vice_virtue wishes SCTP was more well supported by operating systems and
household routers
11:01 < vice_virtue> Wishing doesn't make things happen, though.
11:03 * ww has seen pretty little use of sctp outside the lab
11:04 < Rennex> gotta love reduce in ruby.. if you don't give it an initial
value, it starts with the first two values of the list. And for simple cases you
don't need to give it a code block, the name of a method suffices. so
array.reduce(:*) would multiply all the values together :)
11:07 < vice_virtue> Rennex, there's a form of foldl in Haskell which does
the same
11:09 < Rennex> yeah
11:10 < vice_virtue> But do you remember what it's called? I forget...
11:11 < vice_virtue> ah foldl1
11:11 < vice_virtue> (great name)
11:11 < Rennex> heh
11:13 < Rennex> i still haven't delved properly into Go, but it seems like
interfaces would be the perfect way to support generics and it's a shame if they
aren't already available as standard :I

11:16 < vice_virtue> I'm not sure I fully understand, Rennex, do you mean
akin to type classes in Haskell (where you can say that any Num, or Ord can be
used as an certain argument?), or in having functions which take the empty
interface as arguments/return values
11:18 -!- Fish [~Fish@exo3753.pck.nerim.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 250 seconds]
11:18 < vice_virtue> I think they're fairly similar to type classes, more so
if operator overloading was supported. But apparently there's a fair bit of
boilerplate in checking the consistency of types in arguments.. and I think I
remember reading that reflect cannot be used to construct types
11:20 < Rennex> err, hmm. i only thought about a generic container that you
could iterate over, but didn't think about handling the actual values that come
out, and the need for polymorphism there.. but i'm sleepy and a go noob :)
11:20 -!- Fish [~Fish@exo3753.pck.nerim.net] has joined #go-nuts
11:32 < wrtp> go interfaces are more akin to hakell's Type.Dynamic than type
classes
11:32 < wrtp> sorry, i meant Data.Dynamic
11:33 < wrtp> except they're more powerful than Data.Dynamic because of the
subset/superset semantics
11:33 < wrtp> go doesn't support the usual lists operations, mainly i think
because they make it very easy to write inefficient code
11:34 < wrtp> s/lists/list/
11:34 < wrtp> doing generics right in go is a hard problem

18:00 < wrtp> i can't see how it's possible to use safely

18:10 < wrtp> in this case, though, i've got to use pthread stuff
18:10 < wrtp> those are the only primitives i've got to work with (this is
in a thread that's been started behind the scenes in a Go program)
18:12 < wrtp> there *must* be a way of using pthread_cond so that you can't
miss a wakeup, but i can't work out how.
18:12 < aiju> mutexes are spawn of hell
18:12 < skelterjohn> if you have atomic variable read/writes, you can roll
your own mutex
18:12 < skelterjohn> and forget about pthread utils
18:14 < wrtp> mutexes are fine
18:14 < wrtp> it's condition variables which are harder

19:09 < str1ngs> I'm currently creating go bindings to libalpm. I used a
cast.(*[0]uint8)(C.alpm_list_getdata(i)) but I'm not 100% if this ok or not?
19:09 < str1ngs> C.alpm_list_getdat() returns an unsafe.Pointer
19:09 < skelterjohn> i'm not sure i understand your snippet
19:09 < skelterjohn> that is valid go?
19:10 < skelterjohn> what is "cast.(*[0]uint8)"
19:10 < str1ngs> ya that was pasted wrong
19:10 < str1ngs> let me pastbin some code will be easier to understand
19:11 < str1ngs> https://gist.github.com/847834
19:12 < str1ngs> line 22 is what I'm worried about
19:12 < skelterjohn> what is the unsafe.Pointer returnedsuppose to be
19:12 < skelterjohn> a char**?
19:13 < str1ngs> no should return a struct let me check the C could
19:13 < rm445> why a pointer to an array of size zero of uint8?
19:13 < str1ngs> code*
19:14 < str1ngs> because thats all alpm_pkg_get_name will take
19:14 < skelterjohn> rm445: he is passing it right back to C, so it's a
pointer to a pointer to a uint8
19:14 < str1ngs> my C weaker sorry
19:14 < str1ngs> why I'm asking here
19:15 < skelterjohn> it's hard to answer the question "is this ok?"
19:15 < skelterjohn> it all depends on what the C code does
19:15 < skelterjohn> and i've never heard of alpm
19:16 < rm445> skelterjohn: I haven't really done any unsafe stuff, sorry if
I'm getting in the way, but I don't understand. He gets an unsafe.Pointer
(pointing to a struct of some kind), then passes it back to C - what's the cast to
*[0]uint8 about?
19:17 < skelterjohn> he says that is the type that alpm_pkg_get_name() wants
for the parameter
19:17 < str1ngs> const char is char** ?
19:17 < skelterjohn> const char is const char
19:17 < skelterjohn> const is something that is applied to a type
19:17 < skelterjohn> char and char** are two different types
19:17 < jokoon> any 3D engine embryo in go ? :x
19:18 < skelterjohn> str1ngs: it would help if you could show me the
function signatures for alpm_pkg_get_name and alpm_list_getdata

19:22 < skelterjohn> when i google alpm_list_getdata, i see things like
alpm_pkg_get_name(alpm_list_getdata(x))
19:22 < skelterjohn> makes me think the types match
19:23 < skelterjohn> so just say, eg, thing := C.alpm_list_getdata(i);
C.alpm_pkg_get_name(thing)
19:23 < skelterjohn> and don't worry about what the go type should look like
19:24 < str1ngs> aye but.. that didnt work in this guess which worried me
19:24 < str1ngs> s/guess/case
19:24 < skelterjohn> oh
19:24 < str1ngs> alpm_list_it is a list of lists
19:24 < str1ngs> this is the back end for pacman the package manager
19:25 < skelterjohn> for building stuff?
19:25 < str1ngs> ok let me do that and I post the error that will be better
I think
19:26 < str1ngs> cannot use pkg (type unsafe.Pointer) as type *[0]uint8 in
function argument
19:27 < skelterjohn> k, well, as long as you know that what is returned from
alpm_list_getdata() should be passed to alpm_pkg_get_name(), i'd go ahead and do
it like you're doing it
19:28 < str1ngs> skelterjohn: no for installing system packages. its used
in Archlinux

20:24 < evildho> position independent code
20:25 < evildho> for e.g. dynamic libraries. you can't turn it off on
darwin
20:25 < evildho> but how it's implemented is that it uses %ebx
20:25 < evildho> except fucking x86-32 is so register anemic that you
basically have 3 other registers to use. so you have to push ebx, load ebx from
memory, lock cmpxchg8b, pop ebx
20:26 < skelterjohn> sucks
20:26 < skelterjohn> i guess
20:27 < evildho> which is working fine in other places, but for some reason
in this one place esi and edi are also used, and for some reason even though I
have only memory, eax, edx, and ecx used, it is complaining that it can't find
another register
20:27 < evildho> i don't know what it thinks it needs it for
20:28 < evildho> all the memory arguments can be offsets of ebp :(

with fPIC for some reason runs out of anything in GENERAL_REGS, and I can't figure
out why it would complain there, and not in ck_pr_cas_64
20:36 < evildho> i wonder if it would stop complaining if I did a store_64
in cas_32_2.
20:37 < evildho> the thing is, I have no idea what's eating up edi/esi,
making it think that it can't use them.

20:38 < evildho> I had that =q before
20:38 < evildho> but gcc would happily compile that to sete %bl
20:39 <+iant> really? even with -fpic?
20:39 <+iant> that sounds like a bug
20:39 < evildho> yeah
20:40 <+iant> why are you passing s[0] with an "m" constraint?
20:40 < evildho> because i can't put it in ebx
20:40 <+iant> oh yeah, I see
20:40 <+iant> does it help if you give that an "r" constraint?
20:41 < evildho> that complains about Q_REGS
20:41 <+iant> OK, a "q" constraint
20:41 < evildho> same
20:42 < evildho> by "that" you're referring to s[0] right?
20:42 < evildho> not z
20:42 <+iant> yes
20:42 <+iant> OK, what about making (z) be something like =adc
20:42 <+iant> you don't really care about overwriting those values at that
point
20:42 < evildho> that still complains about GENERAL_REGS.
20:43 < evildho> so maybe the confusion is really about s[0]
20:43 <+iant> well, it's everything put together
20:43 <+iant> you have tied up three regs, and then you want three memory
addresses

22:00 < bren2010> Could anybody help me with defining a function that takes
a pointer to net.Conn.Dial() as a named parameter?
22:00 < bren2010> I've looked around the site and can't figure it out
myself.

22:05 < KBme> what do you mean named parameter?
22:05 < KBme> all parameters are named afaik
22:06 < bren2010> Ah. I just meant that I wanted to be able to reference it
by a name I choose. Like within the function, it can be referenced just like a
variable.
22:12 < KBme> bren2010: this works fine for me: http://dpaste.com/459639/
22:12 < KBme> bren2010: and it's net.Dial eventhough it's under conn in docs
because it returns a connection
22:14 < KBme> this works aswell http://dpaste.com/459643/ no need for the
extra parenthesis

22:21 < KBme> that's not a pointer but i'm guessing a pointer is just as
easy
22:21 < KBme> add a * here, a & there and done ;)
