00:12 <leeward> Isn't it std.io.Writer? I don't think io exports writer.

00:12 <leeward> The error messages are a bit confusing like that.

10:57 <josias> Hello. I have been trying to get Zig installed on OpenBSD. I first tried getting LLVM 10 installed, but the compilation failed the three times I have tried (including the Zig bootstrap). I also tried building Zig 0.4.0 with the preinstalled LLVM 8, but I get the error, "Zig requires LLVM to be built with all default targets enabled." implying that I must compile it from souorce. Thus, I ask, has anyone here

10:57 <josias> got Zig installed on OpenBSD, and if so, what steps did you perform?

16:36 <Sahnvour> andrewrk: when running a single benchmark from gotta go fast with the manual command line at the end of the readme, it looks like the `app` package is not taken into account regarding caching, and I need to force rebuild by modifying bench.zig

16:37 <Sahnvour> I think that shouldn't be ?

17:12 <ikskuh> he

17:12 <ikskuh> *hey

17:12 <ikskuh> is there already an API for string sorting?

17:12 <ikskuh> std.sort.sort + a comparison

17:14 <ifreund> string sorting is Really Hard

17:15 <ifreund> well if you stick to ascii not really

17:15 <ikskuh> yeah i know. that's why i'm asking

17:16 <ikskuh> otherwise i will just use C collation and be happy :D

20:37 <GreaseMonkey> something i'm wondering, has there been any effort to add riscv32 as a target? i managed to kludge something together (based on 0.6.0) which can build and run a hello world in qemu, but i'm wondering if there's been any other efforts in that department - i have some HiFive1 boards that need some love :)

20:38 <leeward> I think the support for it is at the same level as LLVM.

20:39 <GreaseMonkey> in terms of generating code yeah, but... oh right, i guess i didn't need to do any modifications to get it to at least work on bare metal, i was compiling it for riscv32-linux-gnu lol

20:40 <leeward> riscv32-freestanding-none ought to work out of the box.

20:56 <GreaseMonkey> next part i'm wondering is how one could go about getting the standard I/O working in -freestanding, i'm getting errors pertaining to os.fd_t not existing when doing warn(), and it's part of the file structure definition

21:06 <leeward> You'll have to hook up a serial port or something yourself.

21:08 <leeward> https://andrewkelley.me/post/zig-stack-traces-kernel-panic-bare-bones-os.html <- might help

21:21 <GreaseMonkey> i definitely know how to interface the serial port, the thing i don't know is how to then hook that up to the zig stdlib

21:24 <leeward> I think you'll want to wrap it in std.io.Reader and std.io.Writer, and use those. I don't know if there's a way to override stderr and stdout, though that would do it.

21:25 <leeward> Oh, hmm, std.log doesn't use a particular stream by default. You could probably hook that into the Writer.

21:27 <leeward> Well that's a lie. std.log does use stderr, but you can override it.

21:33 <GreaseMonkey> alright, power's going out soon, so i'll go with what i can, thanks for the help

21:36 <leeward> good luck
