14:31 <tom1998> Hey!

14:32 <tom1998> I'm trying to interface with C, but it's getting annoying because *T won't cast to [*]T, am I doing something wrong here?

14:33 <tom1998> Currently I'm having to @ptrCast, which makes stuff pretty unreadable

14:36 <tom1998> Also, there's a struct which has a member named 'type' - when I try to access this, the language thinks I'm getting the type of the struct

14:36 <tom1998> (because I have to write out my_struct.type)

14:40 <tom1998> Oh, ignore that last bit, i was just reading the error wrong;)

14:41 <tom1998> This seems to be a problem in general with C pointers, they're all [*], so I can't just access fields on them normally without putting [0] afterwards

15:52 <DutchGh0st> if you have a function, that takes a buff, and writes from the BACK of the buffer to the beginning of the buffer, using 2 loops,

15:52 <DutchGh0st> 1 unrolled loop, writing in chunks of 4,

15:52 <DutchGh0st> and 1 fixup loop

15:52 <DutchGh0st> would you check if the buffer has a length of 0 at the start of the function? or would you write the loop condition so they dont run at a length of 0?

15:55 <DutchGh0st> here is a little example function, it writes the digits of a number into a buffer: https://github.com/DutchGhost/zigiffy/blob/master/zig/hello.zig#L23

19:59 <DutchGh0st> are defered statements always run when you run a coro?

20:00 <DutchGh0st> *cancel a coro
