<mbuf> In https://pastebin.com/yt71R9ZH, what is the meaning of "1 + l + r" in the tree_size function? What does it do?
<sim642> It calculates the size of the tree by using the size of the left and right subtree
<mbuf> How can we add a number with a value of type tree?
<sim642> l and r are not of type tree there, they're integers
<Leonidas> mbuf: fold_tree is not fold
<mbuf> sim642, ohh!
<mbuf> sim642, the return value of (fold_tree f e l) gets the value in l, and similarly for r?
oni-on-ion has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<sim642> Yeah, you can also see it by looking at the type of fold_tree

<mbuf> Leonidas, just trying the example from John Whitington's "More OCaml" book
oni-on-ion has joined #ocaml
<sim642> The argument function has type 'a -> 'b -> 'b -> 'b, where 'b isn't necessarily a tree. In your case it's int, just like the second argument 0
<mbuf> sim642, I see

<Leonidas> anyone know what the 'Warning: .dune files are ignored since 2.0. Reinstall the library with dune >= 2.0 to get rid of this warning and enable support for the subsystem this
<Leonidas> library provides.
<Leonidas> '
<Leonidas> means? I installed all the libraries with dune 2.x so I don't know what I can do about it

<rgrinberg> Leonidas, hmm do you have environment where I can see this?
<rgrinberg> Also, could you do find -iname "*.dune" in your opam environment
<Leonidas> rgrinberg: it is all of janestreet v0.11
<rgrinberg> Yeah, those packages are still building with jbuilder. That's the problem.
<rgrinberg> We could make dune shut up about this, but there are actually some edge cases where things won't work
<Leonidas> ah, ok. the error message is a bit misleading.
<Leonidas> should I create a PR to constrain them to dune < 2?
<xvilka> Hi! anyone remembers how to show the reverse dependencies (installed) for opam package?
<xvilka> can't find anything in the man page, sorry
<rgrinberg> xvilka opam list --depends?
<rgrinberg> Leonidas I think that would just invalidate correct build plans. Note that jbuilder is now a separate package. But some artifacts that jbuilder installs, dune 2.0 can no longer read.
<xvilka> rgrinberg: it shows everything, but not the installed only
<rgrinberg> I suppose we should just have a way to disable gtihs warning
<rgrinberg> xvilka --installed?
<Leonidas> rgrinberg: hmm. It then proceeds to fail to build our code, but maybe that's some different issue where our libraries are not actually compatible with dune 2 (like, they compile fine but then it seems like nothing is installed)
<xvilka> rgrinberg: roger, it works. Thanks!
<Leonidas> ohwell, thanks for your help, will need to spend some time investigating.
<rgrinberg> Leonidas the warning system in dune is a bit adhoc. I think we just need a systematic way to disable any kind of warning
<rgrinberg> Unfortunately our backlog is massive...
<Leonidas> yeah, I don't mind that warning that much.
<Leonidas> it is just frustrating to come to work on monday and see that the builds are failing because of two unrelated breakages
<rgrinberg> but note that if you're using an old version of ppx_inline_test or ppx_driver things might not work for you because of this.
<rgrinberg> Leonidas opam repository upates break your builds?!
<Leonidas> ppx generated code that fails due to warnings in dune is my pet peeve ;)
<Leonidas> rgrinberg: yes, since the version constraints are not tight enough.
<Leonidas> But a package that breaks in 1.2.4 whereas 1.2.2 was fine is just frustrating
<rgrinberg> the warnings are the good guy here, they tell you this might happen. It's weird if they caused the faeilure
<rgrinberg> Leonidas sounds like you need a hefty dose of lock files.
<Leonidas> and there is no first party opam locking support so it is all a bit fragile to begin with
<rgrinberg> Isn't opam lock builtin now?
<Leonidas> yeah, replace opam with esy, instead of trying to build esy with opam tools :/
<Leonidas> does it make lockfiles and does opam install honor them?
<xvilka> Leonidas: story of my life (about breakages). The more complex your system is (the more deps it has), the more sudden breakage probability is
<Leonidas> In all fairness the last time I looked at this it was opam 1.x time and back then it wasn't really usable.
<rgrinberg> I believe it's better since 2.0
<rgrinberg> but indeed, if reproducible builds are important to you, you should look into nix or esy
<Leonidas> yeah, I saw opam2nix being properly announced on discuss and I have to say it is intriguing
<Leonidas> especially since I can use it to derive docker containers directly
<xvilka> I also recommend Nix, though currently investigating Guix for this purpose. Will make your life easier and you can do the revision of your deps every N months
<Leonidas> yet dependencies breaking on patch releases is like death by a thousand cuts and opam doing the wrong thing by default (updating all the way up) is a really bad experience
<rgrinberg> Leonidas one thing I realized is that traditional semver doesn't mean all that much for a language that's as strict as OCaml
<rgrinberg> practically any change could be breaking something
<Leonidas> rgrinberg: that is true, but sometimes the breakage is because of mutability in opam-repository
<rgrinberg> And now I also know to never realize on SAT solvers for anything. No matter how fancy they might look :)
<rgrinberg> and the 3rd conclusion is that mutable package management is a bad idea :)
<Leonidas> don't tell companion_cube :p
<xvilka> SAT is just heuristics after all, not a completely formal method
<Armael> that doesn't mean anything
<xvilka> yes, but it doesn't guarantee to be correct from my understanding
<Armael> what
<rgrinberg> We should probably blame the way the problem is posed to the solver, rather than the solver itself :P
<Armael> unless it has a bug, a sat solver will always produce a correct solution (or timeout, in practice)
<rgrinberg> Our constraints are far too optimistic
<Armael> also, package installation is harder than SAT
<Armael> (because you typically have optimisation constraints like "minimize the number of new packages and the version lag")
<xvilka> Armael: SAT is NP-complete problem
<Armael> yes, and?
<Armael> NP <> undecidable
<xvilka> nvm, I might be wrong, I am CS rookie anyway
<simpson> xvilka: SAT is not a problem in practice; it takes effort to find hard SAT instances. The worst instances that you'll see in package management are the sort where some essential low-level library (say, libc) has two incompatible versions and every piece of software needs to use the same version. This happens in e.g. Debian but not Nix.
<simpson> rgrinberg: I've often imagined a SAT solver with a non-bad API. Still only a fantasy though.
mbuf has quit [Quit: Leaving]
<rgrinberg> Yeah, but just to clarify my earlier comment: the real issue is that our constraints validate many incorrect build plans
<Armael> (let me reiterate that SAT solvers are *not* heuristics, they are complete and very efficient in practice -- but then typically package installation problems are not just SAT...)
<rgrinberg> So we always play catch up by trying to invalidate a few more failing build plans here and there. This is pretty futile however
<rgrinberg> Especially given that a good user experience should guarantee 0 build failures
<Armael> yeah I feel one part of the problem is that we have incorrect metadata (build paths that are marked as valid but do not build in practice)
<Armael> something that could be solved with better tooling
<Armael> but also makes it hard to build better tooling
<rgrinberg> we could generate better metadata with dune. but i fear it will not be a qualitative step forward
<rgrinberg> Just another little tweak
spew has joined #ocaml
<companion_cube> package management requires more than SAT, yes
<companion_cube> you need an optimization target as well (maximize versions)
<Drup> rgrinberg: I disagree, if you have perfect metadata, then the solver approach is always correct
<Leonidas> yeah, also depexts are also woefully inadequate, since they are completely incapable of working with different versions of the packages or distributions
<companion_cube> 0 build failures --> lock files
<Leonidas> companion_cube: still no
<Drup> (ofc, that's impossible, but if you are super close to it, it becomes "normal")
<Leonidas> debian renames libmysql again, all builds break
<companion_cube> :D
<companion_cube> ok, but you can't do magic
<companion_cube> 0 build failures that are caused by OCaml
<rgrinberg> Drup yeah, I should say that my initial comment was wrong. The solver isn't at fault
<Leonidas> companion_cube: I mean, if you could say "for debian 9 it is…" or things like "this requires gtk 3.22 and won't just work when there is any kind of gtk 3 package"
<companion_cube> I don't use depext anyway
<companion_cube> I'd be happy with lockfiles for pure OCaml packages already
<rgrinberg> The point here is that when you search for valid build plans, it's far more costly to claim that an invalid build plan is valid, than skip over some valid build plans
<companion_cube> cause right now, it's build failures all the time, and it's all within OCaml…
<Leonidas> yeah, if you don't depend on these pesky bits of C code
<companion_cube> C code + external libraries, you mean
<rgrinberg> companion_cube indeed, imagine if git had a sha1 collision every other day
<Leonidas> yeah
<rgrinberg> this is basically the user experience in opam
<companion_cube> ahah
<companion_cube> yeah, pretty much
<companion_cube> I dread `opam upg`
<rgrinberg> i don't dread it because i barely use it :D
<Leonidas> `opam upgrade` is `opam ensure-the-build-is-completely-busted-afterwards`
<Leonidas> We have a policy of never using it
<Leonidas> `opam install --deps-only .` instead
<rgrinberg> Yup, it's quite useless of a command

<narimiran> so, how do you convert an int to its binary representation? if it were octal/hex i would use `sprintf`, but there's no such things for binary (`%b` is for bools)
<narimiran> alternatively, is there a `divmod`?
<theblatte> there's %x for hexadecimal but nothing for binary as far as I can tell
