From the point of view of Lisp, what's wrong with C++?

<asarch>
I've read a lot of bad jokes about this programming language
<asarch>
But I still cannot realize the reason of it
<aeth>
asarch: C++ pretends that it's on the low-level side of the high-level languages, but it has high-level syntax, which makes metaprogramming painful. It also inherits all of the security/safety flaws of C by being compatible with C.

<asarch>
I see
<aeth>
Lisp doesn't force a high-level infix string representation of source code on top of the abstract syntax tree that's underneath, which makes things like macros actually doable.
Rawriful has quit [Quit: WeeChat 1.4]
<aeth>
Templates, C-style macros (i.e. string macros), and other generic/template/macro systems tend to be complicated, hard, painful, and easy to make mistakes in. Lisp-style macros (i.e. structural macros) avoid most of those issues.
<aeth>
e.g. If you need to interface with something that expects some string format, you can just write a CL macro to generate a string. Doing so is very similar to writing a function, but it will produce a string at macro-expansion-time, which can mean that string will be compiled into the native compiled form (usually a FASL file).
<aeth>
This is an easy exercise in Common Lisp.

hey guys, doing something like this: curl http://api.urbandictionary.com/v0/define?term={nuts} I'm getting a json output. I'm trying to perform the same results with drakma. But drakma complains about illegal characters(curly brackets)
<dwts>
is this feasible using drakma?
<Bike>
with drakma you give ti the GET parameters separately and not as part of the url, maybe
<Bike>
either that or just urlencode
<beach>

or, you can try to convonce drakma to convert it yourself:

<resttime>
I'm hoping you have quicklisp installed
<loke`>
(ql:quickload "babel")
<dwts>
yep it's already installed in my system
<loke`>
The drakma documentation says: ”If the message body doesn't have a text content type or if FORCE-BINARY is true, the body is always returned as an array of octets.”
<loke`>
The request you make returns application/json, which is why it's returned as a binary vector and not a string.
fikka has joined #lisp
<dwts>
loke`: I see your point. But how can one see the value of FORCE-BINARY ?
<dwts>
I mean I don't see it in the output
<loke`>
dwts: You probably want to pass the decoded output to something like ‘st-json’ or one of the other JSON libraries.
<loke`>
dwts: :FORCE-BINARY is the oppostie of what you want.
<dwts>
ah wait, it says, "application/json"
<resttime>
Ah here we go, I recall something that's nice. If you want drakma to convert to text automatically: (push (cons "application" "json") drakma:*text-content-types*)
<loke`>
You should do something like (babel:octets-to-string (drakma:http-request ...) :encoding :utf-8)
<loke`>
resttime: Ah yes... Thanks you.
<dwts>
loke`: I'm trying to figure out the way you are debugging this.
<dwts>
resttime: unbelievable, that worked! :O
<loke`>
dwts: I'm not debugging anything. I know drakma pretty well (even though I missed the part about *TEXT-CONTENT-TYPES*)
<resttime>
dwts, loke`. Just remembered running into it some time before couldn't recall top of head but a good old google helps all the time :)
<dwts>
loke`: yeah, takes some time to get used to the output. there's enough info there I guess, now I noticed the full message: (:CONTENT-TYPE . "application/json; charset=utf-8")
<loke`>
resttime: In 99% of cases, I use :WANT-STREAM, and just wrap it in a flexi-stream to do the parsing anyway.
<loke`>
I guess that the *TEXT-CONTENT-TYPES* has the benefit of parsing the ;charset= parameter for you... In case you meet a server that is insane enough to give you JSON with a non-utf-8 encoding. :-)
<dwts>
thanks a lot guys. That is enough to start the experimentation I guess.

Hi everyone
<drmeister>
I saw a discussion about DWARF yesterday.
<drmeister>
Is anyone interested in writing a Common Lisp library to parse DWARF? It would be generally useful to get Common Lisp to understand C++ code.
<Xach>
I feel like I've seen a dwarf parser in the past
<jurov>
drmeister: smoke does that (but used only for qt afaik)
<drmeister>
I'm interested because we've got a Common Lisp compiler (Clasp) that generates DWARF and I'd like to use a DWARF interpreter for the debugger.
<drmeister>
Xach: I know of a dwarf parser for guile but not Common Lisp.
<drmeister>
Well, well, well - ask and ye shall receive.
milanj has joined #lisp
<drmeister>
What did you google? I swear I've used the google dozens of times looking for things like this.
<drmeister>
If anyone knows anything about Common Lisp libraries to interpret DWARF - I'd love to hear about it.

We generate DWARF and are going to do it better in the near future with the wonderful new cst-to-ast source tracking features that beach has added to Cleavir.
<drmeister>
But like the cursed cook who can prepare sumptuous meals - but never taste them - we generate DWARF but cannot interpret it.

Seems I've found a quicklisp/asdf bug. When a system has a.lisp and b.lisp and macro in b.lisp calls a function A from a.lisp at loading time...
<drmeister>
In other news - Clasp now has multithreading with compacting semi-conservative garbage collection.
<jurov>
...later I updated A, but the compiled macro was not recompiled by quicklisp, I had to remove cached fasl files.
<Shinmera>
drmeister: but is it fast

<drmeister>
Some things are and some things aren't. Integer numerical code is approaching C/Fortran speed - maybe off by a factor of 2. The compiler is slow.
<Xach>
jurov: you changed a.lisp and saved the file but b.lisp was not updated when you used (asdf:load-system "your-system")?
<Shinmera>
drmeister: I mean MPS
BigSafari has quit [Quit: My MacBook has gone to sleep. ZZZzzz…]
<Xach>
jurov: recompiled, that is
<Shinmera>
drmeister: Last time we had MPS running it was a significant factor slower than Boehm
<jurov>
Xach: yes, i used (ql:quickload 'the-local-project)
<Xach>
jurov: i would be interested in seeing a distilled example
<Shinmera>
jurov: Is a.lisp a dependency of b.lisp?
<Xach>
like, the two files and the system definition
<drmeister>
Shinmera: Ah - yes - I haven't profiled it much yet but it's about as fast as Boehm. The bottlenecks we experience are not due to the GC.
<drmeister>
The problems we had before were probably due to a multi-megabyte character property array that was being allocated during startup.
<jurov>
Xach: no dependencies are defined in the .asd file
<drmeister>
Stassats found that and we removed it. It was also being created in ECL - but not to the same extent.
<Xach>
jurov: the relationship between files is important - those are dependencies
<Xach>
with :serial t, each file depends on all the previously listed files
fikka has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds]
<drmeister>
I don't look to our previous experiences with MPS as illuminating anything about performance - there were too many problems with my implementation.
<drmeister>
It's a brand new day.
<jurov>
Xach ah yes, the a.lisp and b.lisp are just listed as components without any :depends-on info
<Xach>
jurov: and no :serial t?
Jesin has joined #lisp
<drmeister>
The thing about MPS is that allocations are just pointer bumps. Once we get allocations inlined into the Common Lisp code that uses them - they will be as fast as they can be.
<jurov>
Xach: Neither.
<Xach>
jurov: ok. then that will work only by coincidence.
<Xach>
jurov: if you add relationships, i suspect things will work as desired
<jurov>
ahh i'm blind, there's :serial T (big T)
wigust has joined #lisp
<jurov>
is big T okay?
<Shinmera>
Unless you screw with the readtable, case does not matter
<Shinmera>
Also, if it were not CL:T, ASDF would error upon loading the system definition.
<Xach>
big T is ok
<Xach>
jurov: can you share the system file? and the other files? or maybe provide simplified versions? i'm still quite curious
<Xach>
jurov: and you observe that changing vim-utils.lisp and saving it, then using (asdf:load-system "cl-neovim") does not result in recompiling api.lisp?
<scymtym>
shouldn't the :serial t be in the module instead of the system?
<Xach>
I have never used :module - is that required?
* Xach
does not know
<jurov>
Yes. I commented out #'clean-up-name in vim-utils completely and system loaded despite that
<jurov>
And it generated the code using older version of #'clean-up-name .
<scymtym>
Xach: in my mental model, :serial only affects immediately contained :components, not transitively contained ones
smokeink has joined #lisp
<smokeink>
Is it possible in CL to replace 't with 'true ? (define-symbol-macro true 't) can make 'true be read as 't , but how to make the repl display true instead of t (when something evals to t) ?
<Xach>
Seems plausible
<oleo>
define a method
<oleo>
a printer method ?

<jackdaniel>
yes, but from the cognitive perspective of language, by asking: how portable is this and this means – how likely will it fail
<jackdaniel>
otherwise "bordeaux threads is a portability layer" wouldn't make much sense, would it?
<Shinmera>
Well, it does make sense, because it extends the specification of the CLHS by its own interface, thus extending what it means to be portable.
<_death>
smokeink: it is precisely for doing this kind of thing, customized pretty-printing of lisp forms
<Shinmera>
If an implementation is not supported by it, then that implementation is not conforming, making it irrelevant for the question of whether code is portable on it or not
hexfive has joined #lisp
<jackdaniel>
code which uses threads (even through bt) isn't portable if we take definition you have linked a few lines above
FreeBirdLjj has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<Shinmera>
How so?
<pjb>
Shinmera: CLHS doesn't define threads.
<Shinmera>
I'm aware.
<pjb>
This is purely an extension to CL.
FreeBirdLjj has joined #lisp
fikka has joined #lisp
<pjb>
BT can only aim at covering the implementations that implement a threading extension, but not all implementation do. So writing code using threads cannot be portable by definition.
<pjb>
even when using a portability library.
<pjb>
Your application is only portable to the intersection of all the supported set of all its dependencies.
<_death>
the clhs definition is a stipulative one.. not very good for trying to understand the common use of the term
<Shinmera>
It can if you consider BT's spec an extension of CL's spec.
<pjb>
Often this restricts the practical portability to very few implementations, platforms and systems.
<pjb>
Shinmera: it would be nice, but very few implementation take the pain of implementing a portability layer API. cffi, bt, closer-mop, etc.

Sometimes they may move slowly toward better support (eg. asdf), but there's no will to boldly implement those interfaces directly.
<jackdaniel>
Shinmera: in that case what smokeink wants may be considered his informal spec. then it works where it works. word portability loses its meaning, or indeed we agree, that this definition can't be taken verbatim in conversation proceeded in natural language

As we have already determined, there are better ways in which his actual question could have been formulated, though.

<jmercouris>
is there something akin to json for lisp?
<jmercouris>
some sort of transport language to represent objects?
<pjb>
For your custom-defined CLOS objects, you need to implement PRINT-OBJECT and depending on the syntax used when printing it readably, reader macros.
<jmercouris>
And how do you reinstate the object from its serialized form?
<pjb>
read-from-string
<pjb>
You're not quick…

jmercouris: You already type things like, (make-array dims :initial-contents '(a b c ...)) So if you take an array and splat its contents into a string, you can re-make this form
<rumbler31>
serialize becomes taking the contents of an array and generating the string "(make-array size :initial-contents '(real contents here))" and then calling read on the string, right?
<_death>
I'd rather communicate via json.. read-from-string is definitely not a good way to communicate with the outside world
<rumbler31>
_death: I agree, although OP seemed to be interested in lisp -> lisp
<pjb>
json is definitely not a good way to communicate with the outside world.
<pjb>
incompatible float formats, bignums not supported (eg. in C), confusion between lists and vectors, a-list and hash-tables, etc.
<_death>
still you need to trust the other side, and then there's the matter of interning (which you can simplify by using keywords everywhere...) and more..
<pjb>
Not all lisp objects have a printable readably form, but at least, it's specified. (cf. chapter 2).
<pjb>
also, there's the Rivest SEXP RFC.
<pjb>
(draft)
<_death>
pjb: not claiming json is perfect or even "good", but it's ubiquitous
<pjb>
sexps too: available in all the compilers I use!
<shka>
pjb: is that good idea? It may force me to recalculate hash of list multiple time
<jackdaniel>
pjb: I'm referring to internal ECL implementation, it is in context of mentioning si:pointer
<jackdaniel>
(+/- immediate objects)
<_death>
jackdaniel: speaking of ecl, do you have any input on the two "wtfs" I mention in https://github.com/death/TIC-80 .. I didn't get to looking further into them
<pjb>
jackdaniel: well, if you're based on C, it is disputable that addresses exist. In C you have pointers (opaque) and integers, and a way to convert from one to the other, but nothing implies that integers are related to eg. a MC68000 address.
<pjb>
shka: what are you trying to do?
<pjb>

<jackdaniel>
but if it doesn't work I may try to validate that (not today though)
<pjb>
shka: indeed, sxhash is defined in terms of similarity which for cons cells defer to the similarity of car and cdr.

fikka has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds]

jackdaniel: I think that's what is happening, but it's not enough.. I think something akin to lua_State would be great, but that's likely too much of a big change
IRCNickname has joined #lisp
<pjb>
shka: There is no conforming way to get the identity of a cons cell otherwise than the cons cell itself. And also, similarity is defined cross images!
<shka>
there is a couple of singular lists, the rest is constructed by consing into other list already existing in the table
<pjb>
shka: nope. hashtable don't contain things. They map keys to values.
<shka>
pjb: please, let me finish
<jackdaniel>
_death: I would have to look into it, but right now I have work in progress on delimited continuations + green threads in ECL, so that would have to wait
<_death>
jackdaniel: oh no problem.. it's just another night hack no time pressure :)
<shka>
each list is a key in the hashtable, and value is not relevant right now
<jackdaniel>
if you could report issue on gitlab with description what lua_state is and what you are expecting, that would be great
Jonsky has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
<jackdaniel>
because I will very likely forget to look into it without some remainder
Jonsky has joined #lisp
<shka>
but this allows me to (when i have reference to the right list) to obtain value from hashtable, as well as do the same for every rest
<_death>
jackdaniel: sure, will have a todo for it.. maybe a small test case first
<shka>
i don't search hashtable by constructing fresh list
<jackdaniel>
cool, thanks!
<shka>
therefore, i consider calculating full hash of list to be wasteful
<shka>
pjb: does that sound clear enough?
<pjb>
Why do you want to compute the hash of the list based on the whole list?
fikka has joined #lisp
<shka>
pjb: i don't want to
<pjb>
Then don't!
<shka>
do i misunderstood things?
<shka>
i am under impression that "[20:02] <pjb> shka: indeed, sxhash is defined in terms of similarity which for cons cells defer to the similarity of car and cdr.", which translates into recursive definition of hash
<pjb>
shka: read again make-hash-table, and notice how the default for test is eql.
<shka>
i do know about this
<pjb>
Notice how hash-tables cannot use sxhash.
<pjb>
Why do you want to use sxhash?
<pjb>
Then what's your problem? Everything works as you want.
<shka>
but i am using my own custom test
<pjb>
Well, then you will have to use a CL hash-table to map cons cells to unique identifiers that you can use in your own hash function.
<shka>
i see
pmetzger has joined #lisp
<pjb>
Perhaps some implementations let you find the address of a cons cell (but as noted, if they have a moving GC, the address will change).
<shka>
pjb: thank you, you helped me greatly
<pjb>
clisp can be compiled to provide a third slot to each cons in which you could store a unique identifier.
<shka>
i will try to figure out simpler way to do this
<shka>
perhaps i can just use simple box struct
<pjb>
Notice also, that for hash-table with equal or equalp most implementations won't compute the hash on all the elements of the list, but use a projection such as list length, hash of the first and last element.
<pjb>
The most efficient will be to stick to CL hash-table EQL.
<shka>
indeed
<pjb>
and indeed, if you need more info, you can wrap your data in structures.
<shka>
i will have to double check if i can just get away without using custom :test
<shka>
pjb: actually exactly what i am trying to do
<shka>
ok, i know how to move forward
<shka>
thank you for your patience

you're welcome.

mrottenkolber: but you have to remember that &rest gets a list of arguments, so when the spreadable argument list designator takes for example (1 2 (3 4 5)) it means that the function was called with the rest arguments 1 2 (3 4 5) like this: (apply 'list 1 2 '(3 4 5)) for example

if you're not keeping it around i don't see why you can't just keep it as a c array.

I'm not sure what counts as keeping it around. As its set up to be I have to use it multiple times. I'd have to test it

But remember that you have to free C data yourself (unless you use a underlying C garbage collector such as the BoehmGC.
