00:06 <wink_> Hejsil mentions in https://github.com/ziglang/zig/pull/1685#issuecomment-438253107 that there is code to format zig code for the new changes, "zig-fmt-error-to-anyerror" and "zig-fmt-revert-dot-init-container-decl" but I built tip of tree and stage2 but don't seem the comamnds. I also looked on his github page and don't see them their either. Any i

00:06 <wink_> deas?

00:10 <wink_> I found them, they are branches on the main zig repo, https://github.com/ziglang/zig/branches

00:57 <benjikun> https://github.com/mirror/libX11/blob/b676e62377483df77bcb6472d26b24f901323fa9/include/X11/Xlib.h

00:57 <benjikun> Jeez the macros in this make everything complicated

01:01 <benjikun> I followed the `DefaultRootWindow` rabithole and came out with `&((_XPrivDisplay(display))->screens[(_XPrivDisplay)(display)->default_screen->root)]`

01:01 <benjikun> *rabbithole

01:04 <benjikun> I have no idea how I'm going to get past these macros with zig

01:16 <benjikun> wow, nevermind

01:16 <benjikun> they have function alternatives

01:49 <daurnimator> andrewrk: around?

02:10 <daurnimator> Different beginner question (to anyone): what am I doing wrong here? https://ptpb.pw/yJX7

02:13 <presiden> daurnimator: from quick peek, first, probably the return value of the function

02:14 <daurnimator> presiden: I tried adding that. same error (error: expected token ';', found ',')

02:14 <presiden> daurnimator: fn sample() []f64 { ... }

02:15 <presiden> let me check

02:26 <presiden> daurnimator: something like this, https://paste.debian.net/plain/1051634

02:27 <daurnimator> presiden: that also fails with the same error for me. also I don't want to pre-declare the length

02:30 <presiden> or older version?

02:30 <daurnimator> I was using this arrays.zig: https://ziglang.org/documentation/0.3.0/#Arrays

02:30 <presiden> wokrs on 0.3.0

02:35 <presiden> I'm not so sure myself

02:40 <jfondren> presiden's code works for me on 0.3.0. Although the output's not so nice.

02:40 <jfondren> you can return 0 from main if you set its return type to u8

02:46 <presiden> sample() returning slice, https://paste.debian.net/plain/1051636

02:54 <jfondren> 0.3.0

02:57 <daurnimator> MajorLag: My intention was to (at comptime) concat arrays

03:05 <jfondren> concatenating arrays at compile-time: https://gist.github.com/jrfondren/9f79f00f7ae055b5eff647f60e3484e5

03:07 <benjikun> jfondren: stealth message?

03:07 <jfondren> I'm using sirc in tmux on a remote box for an IRC client, so usually I watch the logs rather than the client

03:07 <jfondren> but if it's bugged, eh.

03:08 <benjikun> weird

03:08 <jfondren> yeah. several messages in the last few minutes aren't in the log

03:08 <benjikun> strange

03:09 <benjikun> lol

03:12 <benjikun> is that wrong?

03:13 <jfondren> nah. it looks pretty good to me.

03:13 <jfondren> if ev.type were an enum, you could use a switch, and zig would error out if you missed a case.

03:14 <benjikun> but for some reason it doesn't work with dragging

03:17 <daurnimator> MajorLag: yeah that's not pretty :(

03:18 <daurnimator> disappointing that zig doesn't infer the array length for the return value

03:20 <benjikun> zig isn't a normal language heh

03:23 <benjikun> thank you :)

03:23 <MajorLag> bear in mind, I'm pretty much entirely ignorant of X api, so.

03:27 <benjikun> changed that, but still no cigar

03:40 <benjikun> hm

03:42 <daurnimator> okay, so now I've got further

03:48 <jfondren> damn this broken logger.

03:54 <benjikun> MajorLag: I did `ButtonPressMask|ButtonReleaseMask|PointerMotionMask` instead now, still nothin :(

03:54 <daurnimator> 1134964

03:55 <daurnimator> you sure?

03:56 <MajorLag> pretty sure, I've run the compiler out of memory before

03:58 <daurnimator> hryx: I figured it was a good first-experiment

03:59 <hryx> Awesome, good luck!

04:04 <jfondren> *shrug*

04:04 <benjikun> yep

04:04 <benjikun> 8gb

14:31 <Hejsil> Hmmm. Anyone know of any good line-oriented formats that is able to represent structured data. So far, I've only found line-oriented XML and Fson formats (which might be good enough for my purposes).

14:33 <Hejsil> Motivation: I need to stream structured data between different process unix style

14:33 <Hejsil> Context: https://github.com/Hejsil/pokemon-randomizer/issues/41

14:33 <Hejsil> Fson/Json*

15:03 <MajorLag> why serialize to a text format instead of a custom binary format? You can have a switch to render the output human readable. This would avoid the overhead cost of parsing it and rendering it at every stage in normal operation.

15:06 <MajorLag> Actually, don't even do a switch, just make a program that renders the input data and pipe the output to it.

19:11 <benjikun> Hi again

20:24 <MajorLag> Hi benjikun, saw you got the wm working.

20:24 <benjikun> yep :)

23:20 <jzelinskie> i feel like zig is the python of c

23:20 <jzelinskie> hard to describe why, but it feels right in my head

23:20 <benjikun> I don't see it that way

23:21 <jzelinskie> from a "language doesn't get in your way" perspective

23:21 <benjikun> hm

23:22 <jzelinskie> it's clear andy n co definitely start from a problem and come up with elegant solutions, rather than adding features because they think something will ben ice

23:22 <jzelinskie> be nice*

23:30 <benjikun> yeah, I like zig's scrupulous behavior in regards to new feature requests
