07:47 <Shorttail> Is there a way to quiet tests? Like, only show tests that failed?

07:50 <vaninwagen_> Shorttail: did you try running them with --noprog ?

07:50 <vaninwagen_> that is not exactly showing only failed tests but, it gets closer

07:50 <vaninwagen_> a little

07:51 <Shorttail> Much better, thanks. I'll come back and complain when I get enough tests to fill the screen. :P

07:52 <Shorttail> vaninwagen_: I don't see --noprog in ponyc --help and I didn't find it in the test page. Is it documented somewhere?

07:53 <vaninwagen_> not directly documented, but https://stdlib.ponylang.org/src/ponytest/pony_test/#L391

07:54 <vaninwagen_> it is available in the help of the test binary

19:06 <emilbayes> I have a question about "inheriting" from string

19:07 <emilbayes> https://gist.github.com/emilbayes/4fa0c1ff373af7b61d15141e97b9f3c9

19:08 <emilbayes> I have this "SecretString" class that I want to use to store cryptographic keys

19:09 <emilbayes> So I'm using the custom allocator that does a bunch of stuff behind the scenes. But I also want to be able to write to the SecretString as it is being "constructed" while I want it to be come val later. How is the best way to go about this? I've seen others wrap a "buffer" in string an "proxy" to that through a _inner variable

19:10 <emilbayes> But I'm having trouble figuring out the reference capabilities and whether this _inner idea is good in this case

19:54 <emilbayes> I'm also a bit confused as to why the _final, which is box, is used to clean up resources from C. box means it's read-only, right? So if I do something like free an object from C there, wouldn't that possibly cause problems like double frees?
