15:06 <wink_> Andrew created `fn ptr` in his tetris game (https://github.com/andrewrk/tetris/blob/master/src/c.zig) which has some code duplication and I thought it might be possible to remove it, but I wasn't able to, see (https://github.com/winksaville/zig-type-conversion).

15:06 <wink_> Any suggestions on how the code duplication could be removed?

17:08 <dbandstra> wink_, how about this? https://pastebin.com/raw/epd23HXP

18:04 <wink_> Perfect, txs. I changed getPtrType to cvrtPtrToOptionalPtrArray which, I think, is more precise. What do you think?

18:16 <wink_> How do you like gitlab?

20:00 <dbandstra> i'm more familiar with it tbh because of using it at work

20:03 <wink_> I've not really used it yet, but was thinking of giving it a try.

20:03 <wink_> txs for the code snippet, I like it much better!

20:04 <dbandstra> no problem

20:19 <dbandstra> andrewrk, i was away for a few weeks, now trying my project with latest zig. the compiler is crashing (assert in get_abi_alignment). would you be able to take a look? https://gitlab.com/dbandstra/oxid/tree/new-crash

20:19 <andrewrk> dbandstra, yeah I'll take a look

20:20 <dbandstra> thanks, 'zig build' is crashing

20:23 <andrewrk> I reproduced the crash

20:29 <dbandstra> i think vs code must be hardwired to look for lldb 6 or something. i'm pretty hopeless at this kind of thing

20:31 <andrewrk> I just use gdb command line

20:31 <andrewrk> or lldb command line on macos

20:31 <dbandstra> i know the bt command that's about it

20:32 <dbandstra> when i was young enough to learn and remember things i was using visual studio on windows hehe

20:32 <andrewrk> dbandstra, sadly I don't know of a test case to trigger this, but I'm about to push the fix

20:32 <dbandstra> oh cool! thanks

20:36 <andrewrk> dbandstra, pushed

20:39 <dbandstra> nice, looks like this->@This() was the only code change needed

20:40 <dbandstra> oh and file stream was moved

20:40 <andrewrk> oh yeah, to os.File.InStream os.File.OutStream

20:45 <dbandstra> bleh i'm too tired / jet lagged to dive back into this tedious project (oxid) quite yet hehe

20:45 <dbandstra> i'm going to try to recreate a weird crash i was getting a few months ago, maybe the compiler will be more informative now

22:03 <emekoi> is there a way to cast an unsigned integer to a signed integer?

22:48 <emekoi> nevermind i figured something out.

23:44 <wink_> Did you use @intCast or @bitCast?

23:46 <wink_> When you had ask the question earlier I hadn't done it, but believe it or not I needed just now and in my case I was converting c_int to c_uint and used @intCast.
