04:20:30 <pikhq> Is there a good way of embedding a graph in LaTeX?
04:20:41 <slereah_> Something that would be able to deal with some transformation on the graph, so that I might try to build the Andrei machine.

14:54:35 <AnMaster> also strings of + and - can be optimized

14:54:40 <AnMaster> to just +
14:54:57 * AnMaster is pondering a brainfuck optimizer

16:23:34 <ehird`> ooh
16:23:37 <ehird`> immibis has been spamming again
16:24:17 <ehird`> AnMaster: brainfuck optimization is pretty advanced these days
16:24:24 <ehird`> the stuff you have talked about is 3-line stuff
16:24:37 <ehird`> nowadays we optimize linear loops to O(1) and multiplication and everything ;O
16:28:46 <AnMaster> ehird`, ah
16:28:55 <AnMaster> ehird`, can you point me to an example of that?
16:29:26 <ehird`> AnMaster: of what
16:29:26 <slereah_> Well, I'm sure EsCo can satisfy all your BF needs!
16:29:29 <ehird`> slereah_: tee hee
16:30:03 <ehird`> AnMaster: http://mazonka.com/brainf/bff4.c this optimizes linear loops to O(1) if compiled with -DLNR
16:30:12 <ehird`> http://mazonka.com/brainf/index.html some benchmarks
16:30:15 <AnMaster> interesting
16:30:41 <ehird`> it's the fastest bf interp out there
16:31:11 <AnMaster> hrrm
16:31:18 <ehird`> it seems to use ints, though, not chars
16:31:21 <AnMaster> someone should write a bf frontend for gcc
16:31:30 <ehird`> nah
16:31:32 <ehird`> what's the point?|
16:31:39 <ehird`> gcc wouldn't be able to do much to the code
16:31:43 <AnMaster> ehird`, cross platform :P
16:31:47 <ehird`> ESO1's reference will include a fast bf interp and compiler anyway
16:31:52 <ehird`> AnMaster: so what
16:31:55 <AnMaster> x86, x86_64, whatever arch you want
16:32:01 <ehird`> compiling to machine code is pointless for BF
16:32:14 <ehird`> compile to good C, and then gcc -O3, because gcc can spot idioms better than you
16:32:17 <ehird`> especially in C.
16:32:20 <AnMaster> ehird`, nah you could do common code reduction to "un-inline" it
16:32:25 <ehird`> sigh
16:32:31 <ehird`> AnMaster: gcc is not suitable for this
16:32:35 <ehird`> http://www.swapped.cc/bf/  <-- the reigning champ interp before bff4
16:32:36 <AnMaster> for size that could be nice
16:32:38 <AnMaster> ehird`, hm true
16:33:12 <ehird`> oh -- and bff4.c doesn't do interactive input
16:33:15 <ehird`> it's dbfi
16:33:18 <ehird`> prog!input
16:33:24 <ehird`> so no luck running e.g. lostkng.b on it
16:33:39 <ehird`> anyway, the ESO1 reference suite will be the best one out there when it's worked on, i'll bet
16:33:42 <AnMaster> ehird`, aww
16:33:42 <slereah_> Well, you could do lostkng!the solution
16:33:47 <slereah_> And just watch it!
16:33:48 <ehird`> slereah_: hehe
16:33:51 <AnMaster> ehird`, well I want interactive input
16:33:53 <ehird`> lostkng is only slow in startup
16:33:54 <AnMaster> that's important for me
16:34:00 <ehird`> AnMaster: http://www.swapped.cc/bf/files/bff-1.0.3.1.tar.gz
16:34:05 <ehird`> or..
16:34:11 <ehird`> I'll mod bff4.c for interactive.
16:34:15 <ehird`> Should just take a mo.
16:34:16 <AnMaster> ehird`, or I could mod it
16:34:20 <ehird`> naw
16:34:22 * AnMaster is a C programmer too
16:34:22 <ehird`> i'm far cooler
16:34:23 <ehird`> ;)
16:34:34 <ehird`> i love the style of code in bff4.c
16:34:35 <ehird`> it's so opaque
16:34:54 <AnMaster> ehird`, possibly, but I'm way geekier, I updated mosaic to support basic xhtml and plan to make it good enough to use it as my normal browser
16:34:56 * slereah_ is not a programmer at all 
16:34:56 <slereah_> Damn you people and your fancy code!
16:34:57 <AnMaster> yes I'm mad!
16:35:00 <AnMaster> BHAHAHAHA!
16:35:12 <AnMaster> ;P
16:35:16 <ehird`> AnMaster: why would you want to do that, though?
16:35:22 <ehird`> mozaic isn't even useful, like lynx is
16:35:25 <slereah_> Let's hook up AnMaster on PSOX
16:35:27 <ehird`> it's just crap

16:35:32 <AnMaster> ;P
16:35:36 <AnMaster> what is PSOX?
16:35:46 <ehird`> AnMaster: i'm way geekier, i started making an OS once! :(
16:35:48 <AnMaster> ehird`, and I run a gopher server
16:35:48 <ehird`> it sucked, sure, but hey

16:36:30 <AnMaster> hrrm, what's on the other side of the scale of minimalism
16:36:31 <ehird`> is horrid
16:36:35 <ehird`> do not listen to it AnMaster! :(
16:36:38 <AnMaster> bf is near the bottom
16:36:42 <AnMaster> so what is at the top?
16:36:44 <ehird`> AnMaster: malbolge
16:36:44 <AnMaster> intercal?
16:36:45 <ehird`> or intercal
16:36:52 <slereah_> Unikitten
16:36:53 <ehird`> orr
16:36:53 <ehird`> ORK
16:36:56 <ehird`> slereah_: well, yeah
16:36:59 <AnMaster> ehird`, well malbolge doesn't have a lot of opcodes
16:37:00 <ehird`> unikitten is the most bloated thing out there
16:37:09 <ehird`> AnMaster: http://www.esolangs.org/wiki/ORK
16:37:11 <ehird`> just verbose though
16:37:16 <AnMaster> http://www.esolangs.org/wiki/PSOX <-- wowowowow though
16:37:18 <slereah_> Well, once it exists.
16:37:31 <AnMaster> unikitten?
16:37:31 <ehird`> AnMaster: it's horrid
16:37:35 <ehird`> Sgeo doesn't know what malloc() is
16:37:36 <AnMaster> someone tried lolcode?
16:37:43 <AnMaster> sgeo?
16:37:44 <ehird`> and he thought a good 'networking' domain was HTTP
16:37:45 <ehird`> :(
16:37:48 <ehird`> AnMaster: PSOX maintainer.
16:37:54 <AnMaster> ah
16:38:02 <slereah_> Lolcode isn't very esoteric.
16:38:03 <AnMaster> ehird`, well what do you mean not know malloc?
16:38:06 <AnMaster> slereah_, that's true
16:38:11 <ehird`> AnMaster: he had no idea what it was
16:38:11 <AnMaster> lolcode is just weird
16:38:14 <ehird`> just none
16:38:18 <AnMaster> ehird`, err, weird
16:38:24 <ehird`> AnMaster: he only knows Python..
16:38:25 <AnMaster> you can't code C without knowing it
16:38:32 <ehird`> he doesn't even know basic brainfuck algorithms, really
16:38:37 <AnMaster> ehird`, well if it is written in python?
16:38:38 <ehird`> and he's probably watching me say this right now
16:38:44 <slereah_> Heh.
16:38:49 <ehird`> AnMaster: yes, but it would affect the architechtural stuff of it
16:39:03 <AnMaster> ehird`, just bohem-gc *runs*
16:39:14 <ehird`> boehm gc has malloc.
16:39:15 <ehird`> heh.
16:39:18 <AnMaster> I actually use bohem-gc, for a leak detector :)
16:39:24 <ehird`> I use boehm-gc.
16:39:28 <ehird`> it's excellent.
16:39:31 <AnMaster> combined with valgrind and mudflap it is quite useful
16:39:35 <ehird`> (for real GC)
16:39:49 <AnMaster> ehird`, it isn't, how do I register an allocation from X for example
16:39:50 <AnMaster> that is
16:39:54 <AnMaster> X allocated a widget
16:40:00 <ehird`> AnMaster: you asked this last time
16:40:01 <AnMaster> I need to place some pointers in widget
16:40:06 <ehird`> because manuals are too difficult to read for you, apparently
16:40:10 <AnMaster> ehird`, yes I read the docs, and found no way
16:40:14 <AnMaster> :/
16:40:26 <ehird`> AnMaster: go ask in #c
16:40:32 <ehird`> i cba to explain
16:40:42 <AnMaster> ehird`, "cba" means?
16:40:59 <AnMaster> ehird`, well #c is an unfriendly channel
16:41:07 <AnMaster> :/
16:41:33 <ehird`> it sure is
16:41:37 <ehird`> and it has PoppaVic
16:41:42 <ehird`> cba=can't be arsed
16:41:46 <AnMaster> ehird`, exactly!
16:41:55 <AnMaster> anyway, I read the docs
16:42:00 <AnMaster> I read the header files
16:42:11 <AnMaster> still no idea how to tell it about an already malloced object
16:42:38 <AnMaster> I tried GC_add_roots, no idea why it didn't work :/
16:44:45 <ehird`>                 if( strchr(",.",a) ){ a=getbf(); continue; }
16:44:55 <ehird`> getbf only litsens to BF instructions
16:44:58 <ehird`> so surely, this is a bug
16:46:35 <AnMaster> ehird`, the getbf?
16:46:41 <AnMaster> or the GC_add_roots?

16:54:27 <ehird`> eso1's reference interpreter/compiler needs a name.
16:54:30 <AnMaster> ehird`, someone need to use better variable names

16:54:44 <ehird`> AnMaster: the source is not that hard to understand; just at first
16:54:51 <ehird`> verbose c code is horrible
16:55:32 <AnMaster> ehird`, true, but so is obfuscated as well
16:55:44 <ehird`> this ain't obfuscated

16:57:30 <ehird`> AnMaster: APL.
16:57:34 <ehird`> He also made K.
16:57:36 <AnMaster> APL?
16:57:39 <ehird`> hahah
16:57:53 <ehird`> http://www.kx.com/a/k/examples/read.k
16:57:54 <ehird`> that's some k code
16:57:57 <ehird`> translates k to english

16:58:12 <AnMaster> oh god
16:58:20 <AnMaster> it needs to be run on itself
16:58:31 <ehird`> http://www.kx.com/a/k/examples/xhtml.k this parses xhtml
16:59:10 <ehird`> AnMaster: KDB, a very widely used, fast, stable etc. database program, used by loads of finance stuffz, made by Kx systems (same people as K, obviously), is written in K
16:59:16 <ehird`> and according to them, contains 0 loops
16:59:22 <ehird`> crazy crap
16:59:32 <AnMaster> why no loops?
16:59:36 <AnMaster> what is wrong with loops?
16:59:39 <ehird`> AnMaster: it's an array programming language
16:59:57 <ehird`> scalar values in K etc are just 0d arrays
17:00:02 <AnMaster> I see
17:00:09 <ehird`> 1 2 3 + 1 2 3 == 2 4 6
17:00:10 <AnMaster> but why no loops?
17:00:17 <ehird`> so basically all operations are generalized across arrays
17:00:19 <wildhalcyon> I wish I could write C code like that
17:00:24 <ehird`> so you don't have to loop over an array
17:00:34 <ehird`> AnMaster: because that's the style of array programming languages
17:00:36 <AnMaster> ehird`, ok, but on hardware level it would loop
17:00:39 <ehird`> wildhalcyon: me too! it's not easy.
17:00:44 <ehird`> AnMaster: gosh, really
17:00:50 <ehird`> i thought faeries did it
17:00:55 <AnMaster> lol
17:01:04 <AnMaster> ehird`, anyway what's so nice with "no loops"
17:01:13 <AnMaster> I mean, why would anyone boost with it?
17:01:14 <ehird`> AnMaster: it's array programming language style.
17:01:19 <wildhalcyon> I would disagree with anyone who told me it WAS C code unless I knew already
17:01:23 <ehird`> well they obviously prefer it

17:04:35 <AnMaster> ehird`, where can one read about the k language itself?
17:04:49 <ehird`> AnMaster: http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2002/11/14/22741/791
17:04:54 <ehird`> that introduces it very gently.
17:05:00 <ehird`> AnMaster: i must warn you though; it's not open source
17:05:05 <AnMaster> ehird`, ah
17:05:09 <AnMaster> then I won't use it
17:05:15 <ehird`> kx systems used to offer a free interpreter for most systems, but they appear to have stopped
17:05:30 <AnMaster> ehird`, couldn't someone make an open source compiler for it (why would anyone want that?)
17:05:39 <ehird`> AnMaster: compiler, no.
17:05:42 <ehird`> interpreter, yes.
17:05:46 <ehird`> but the k library is huuuuuge
17:05:52 <ehird`> i doubt it would be feasable to reproduce it
17:06:01 <ehird`> without years and years of stuffs
17:06:36 <AnMaster> library hm?
17:07:27 <ehird`> AnMaster: all its stdlib

17:17:12 <Slereah-> What is it for?
17:18:17 <ehird`> bfi

17:22:05 <ehird`> some ridiculous forum
17:22:20 <Slereah-> Lynxplz
17:22:50 <ehird`> too late
17:24:26 <ehird`> Slereah-: how can you optimize linear loops, actually?
17:24:26 <ehird`> like
17:24:30 -!- Sgeo[College] has joined.
17:24:34 <ehird`> [++>--<+++>>>-<+>--<<++<+>-<-]
17:24:34 <Sgeo[College]> Hi all
17:24:36 <ehird`> hmm, wait..
17:24:47 <ehird`> no, i have no idea how you can optimize that
17:24:47 <Slereah-> I don't know, I'm not the one who can optimise BF!
17:24:56 <Sgeo[College]> grr why am I not connecting to Sine?
17:25:25 <Sgeo[College]> ehird`: can you connect to Sine?
17:25:46 <Slereah-> I guess you could try to run what's inside and look at the results.
17:25:49 <ehird`> hmm
17:25:54 <ehird`> maybe i should:
17:25:56 <Slereah-> And then change it to something more efficient
17:26:04 <ehird`> like, if you have a program going right 4357345 cells
17:26:07 <ehird`> then back to cell 1
17:26:11 <ehird`> i wonder if GC would be useful
17:26:18 <ehird`> Slereah-: I meant, algorithmically.
17:26:32 <Slereah-> Well, that was my algorithmical idea.
17:26:42 <Slereah-> I'm not the algorithm expert.
17:34:16 <wildhalcyon> [++>--<+++>>>-<+>--<<++<+>-<-] ... Optimizing ... [+++++>-->>-<+>--<<++<+>-<-] ...

17:35:19 <Slereah-> Algorithm :
17:36:00 <Slereah-> Post loop to wildhalcyon

17:37:29 <wildhalcyon> [+++++>-->>-<+>--<<++<>-<] ... Optimizing ... [+++++>-->+>---<<++<>-<] ...
17:37:44 <wildhalcyon> Yours seems correct
17:38:11 <wildhalcyon> wait.. maybe not
17:40:57 <Corun> "<>"
17:41:05 <Corun> Surely that can be optimized out?
17:41:12 <wildhalcyon> Here's the correct optimization: [+++++>->+>---<<<]
17:41:45 <ehird`> wildhalcyon: But..
17:41:48 <ehird`> bff4.c
17:41:53 <ehird`> says it optimizes balanced <> loops into O(1)
17:42:04 <ehird`> http://mazonka.com/brainf/bff4.c
17:42:23 <wildhalcyon> uh huh?
17:42:38 <ehird`> wildhalcyon: Well, that optimization of yours isn't O(1).
17:42:50 <ehird`> wait
17:42:51 <ehird`> not O(1)
17:42:52 <ehird`> one setp
17:42:55 <ehird`> *step
17:43:03 <wildhalcyon> I don't see how that's possible
17:43:33 <ehird`> wildhalcyon: Take a look at its code
17:43:37 <ehird`> I don't know either, but it does do it.
17:44:27 <wildhalcyon> Bah, now I have to read code. Today is just sucky.
17:44:55 <wildhalcyon> Its not one step. He uses a for loop.
17:49:19 -!- Corun has quit ("This computer has gone to sleep").
17:49:32 <wildhalcyon> It is optimized, but not to O(1), only to O(n) where n is the number of cells traversed in the linear loop.
17:52:59 <ehird`> wildhalcyon: Ah.
17:53:13 <ehird`> wildhalcyon: So not that much of an optimization?
17:53:30 <wildhalcyon> Well, it depends on how badly the code is written, but in general, no, not really an optimization.
17:53:43 <ehird`> Might help with compiled; e.g. lostkng.b, I guess.
17:54:03 <ehird`> Still, bfi&bfc will include it.
17:54:43 <AnMaster> wildhalcyon, how did you optimize above
17:54:47 <AnMaster> as in
17:54:48 <AnMaster> <wildhalcyon> [+++++>-->>-<+>--<<++<>-<] ... Optimizing ... [+++++>-->+>---<<++<>-<] ...
17:54:59 <AnMaster> anyway <> is redundant
17:55:30 <wildhalcyon> I agree, it is
17:55:41 <AnMaster> wildhalcyon, anyway how did you do do convert it?
17:55:44 <wildhalcyon> I was doing it in steps
17:55:47 <AnMaster> ah
17:55:53 <AnMaster> wildhalcyon, but how?
17:55:54 <wildhalcyon> After that, I abandoned that approach and tried something much faster
17:56:26 <wildhalcyon> Go through the loop and number each ">" or "<" by what cell it ends up pointing to
17:56:37 <AnMaster> hm ok
17:56:47 <AnMaster> yes that makes sense
17:56:50 <wildhalcyon> so the original loop looks like this: [++1--0+++123-2+3--21++0+1-0-]
17:56:57 <wildhalcyon> Now, just sort and group the terms together
17:57:07 <AnMaster> ok
17:57:16 <wildhalcyon> Remove the extra arrows, and any cancelling positive and negative signs.
17:57:18 <wildhalcyon> That's it
17:58:12 <AnMaster> hrrm, bf is really RISC :)
17:58:51 <Slereah-> Like most esolangs.
17:59:52 <wildhalcyon> Well, more instructions usually mean convenient programming. Last time I checked, esolangs were the opposite of convenient.
18:00:36 <Slereah-> What, convenient programming? We don't like convenient programming here!
18:00:37 <ehird`> wowzers, gcc can optimize pure functions
18:00:40 <ehird`> it's almost a FP compiler
18:00:41 <ehird`> :-)
18:00:48 <AnMaster> Slereah-, intercal :)
18:01:15 <AnMaster> ehird`, of course it can, when marked with __attribute__((const)) iirc
18:01:44 <ehird`> no
18:01:48 <ehird`> that's there too
18:01:49 <AnMaster> hm?
18:01:49 <ehird`> but
18:01:53 <ehird`> __attribute__((pure))
18:01:58 <ehird`> makes it optimize it just like a mathematical operator
18:02:00 <ehird`> subexpression stuff, etc
18:02:01 <AnMaster> ehird`, difference is in pointers iirc
18:02:12 <ehird`> BFI_GCC_ATTR((noreturn, format(printf, 4, 5))) void bfi_die(bfi_err_code, int, int, char *, ...);
18:02:15 <ehird`> ugliest definition EVAR
18:02:39 <ehird`> I mean, I have the attribute declarations on a line, but then it's too long, so the whole funcdef itself has its own line
18:02:48 <ehird`> oh
18:02:50 <ehird`> and this:
18:02:51 <ehird`> #define BFI_FOPEN(fn, md) \
18:02:51 <ehird`>     (fopen((fn), (md)) || \
18:02:55 <ehird`>      ((BFI_ERR(BFI_ERR_FOPEN, "BFI_FOPEN(%s, %s) - %s", #fn, #md, \
18:02:57 <ehird`>                strerror(errno))), NULL))
18:02:58 <AnMaster> ehird`, agreed, you can just do: #ifndef __GNUC__ #define __attribute__(x) /**/ #endif iirc
18:02:59 <ehird`> which i still haven't perfected yet
18:03:06 <ehird`> AnMaster: yes
18:03:09 <ehird`> well
18:03:15 <ehird`> i don't want to define anything not BFI_ or bfi_ prefixed.
18:03:23 <ehird`> this should be non-conflicting all the time :-)
18:04:23 <ehird`> # define BFI_ERR(code, fmt, ...) \
18:04:23 <ehird`>         (bfi_die((code), __FILE__, __LINE__, (fmt), __VA_ARGS__), return (code))
18:04:24 <AnMaster> ehird`, well I'll make a C compiler called bficc then? (Basic Functional Integrated C Compiler, don't ask me what THAT means...)
18:04:25 <ehird`> kinda ugly. :D
18:04:32 <ehird`> AnMaster: heh.
18:04:35 <AnMaster> ehird`, and C99
18:04:36 <AnMaster> :P
18:04:46 <ehird`> so what if it's c99
18:04:49 <ehird`> i need variadic macros
18:04:52 <AnMaster> ehird`, it's great :)
18:04:54 <ehird`> the rest will be ansi c
18:04:57 * AnMaster codes C99 too
18:05:00 <ehird`> actually, you're right.. i really want c89
18:05:02 <ehird`> this is for ESO
18:05:06 <ehird`> this interp should work in 845793845345 years
18:05:06 <ehird`> :)
18:05:12 <ehird`> AnMaster: could i do this:
18:05:21 <ehird`> myprintfalikemacro(a,b,("x",y,z),abc)
18:05:25 <ehird`> since cpp would treat that as one arg
18:05:35 <AnMaster> BFI_ERR1(code, fmt, arg1); BFI_ERR2....
18:05:37 <AnMaster> and so on?
18:05:45 <ehird`> uhh, dunno how to splice that into the printf call though
18:05:47 <AnMaster> I saw some c89 code doing something like that
18:05:48 <ehird`> AnMaster: meh
18:05:55 <AnMaster> ehird`, up to ARGS10
18:05:59 <ehird`> hah
18:06:03 <ehird`> i'll just do 3, for now
18:06:15 <AnMaster> ehird`, for doing one function definition, for K&R C and ANSI C
18:06:17 <AnMaster> :(
18:06:58 <AnMaster> #define ARGS2(t,a,u,b) \
18:06:58 <AnMaster>                 (t a, u b)
18:07:03 <AnMaster> for ANSI C
18:07:11 <AnMaster> I don't have the K&R version around still
18:07:19 <AnMaster> ehird`, horrible
18:07:24 <ehird`> AnMaster: the only interpreters/compilers that will be ESO-approved as reference implementations are either ANSI C89 or languages with an interp approved by es
18:07:25 <ehird`> o
18:07:39 <ehird`> so you can have a stack of 4 interpreters, as long as you have ANSI C89 at the bottom.
18:07:46 <ehird`> they are designed to be the most portable out there.
18:07:53 <ehird`> they don't need to be the prettiest code on earth
18:08:04 <AnMaster> ehird`, so? GCC 4 can be compiled with a C89 compiler I bet
18:08:12 <AnMaster> called bootstrapping
18:08:20 <AnMaster> ehird`, problem solved :)
18:08:27 <ehird`> AnMaster: you are amusing
18:08:37 <AnMaster> ehird`, huh?
18:08:51 <AnMaster> GCC does suported staged bootstrap
18:09:44 <AnMaster> ehird`, in any case, that means you are free to code C99 I think?
18:09:45 <AnMaster> right?
18:09:51 <ehird`> that is so not the point
18:10:02 <AnMaster> hm?
18:10:25 <AnMaster> you could even use GCC specific extensions
18:10:27 <AnMaster> :P
18:11:42 <ehird`> exactly; why do you think a lot of projects don't?
18:11:45 <ehird`> because your idea is ridiculous
18:11:59 <AnMaster> indeed it is :D
18:15:04 <ehird`> this is beautiful:
18:15:07 <ehird`>     void *foo = BFI_MALLOC(43594357934857435);
18:15:07 <ehird`> -->
18:15:12 <ehird`>     void *foo = (malloc(43594357934857435) || (((bfi_die((BFI_ERR_OOM), "test.c", 6, ("BFI_MALLOC(%s)"), ("43594357934857435")), return (BFI_ERR_OOM))), ((void *)0)));
18:15:57 <AnMaster> oh god
18:16:03 <AnMaster> why such a large malloc
18:16:10 <AnMaster> ehird`, and this will fail at:
18:16:14 <AnMaster> int x = 4;
18:16:22 <AnMaster> void *foo = BFI_MALLOC(x++);
18:16:24 <AnMaster> ;P
18:16:32 <AnMaster> or possibly ++x
18:16:37 <ehird`> AnMaster: a large malloc to test my error handling
18:16:37 <ehird`> duh
18:16:40 <ehird`> and sure it will
18:16:45 <ehird`> but that's because the user is an idiot
18:16:47 <ehird`> actually
18:16:49 <ehird`> no it won't
18:16:53 <AnMaster> ehird`, hehehe :)
18:16:55 <ehird`> that will be
18:17:06 <ehird`> void *foo = (malloc(++x) || (((bfi_die((BFI_ERR_OOM), "test.c", 6, ("BFI_MALLOC(%s)"), ("++x")), return (BFI_ERR_OOM))), ((void *)0)));
18:17:10 <ehird`> because the argument is stringified
18:17:16 <ehird`> i did that on purpose, to avoid re-evaluation
18:17:26 <AnMaster> ehird`, heh , the # operator iirc?
18:17:29 <ehird`> yes
18:17:34 <AnMaster> is that in C89?
18:17:35 <AnMaster> hm
18:17:39 <ehird`> it may be less useful since you don't get the actual int, actually
18:17:41 <ehird`> and yes, it is, AnMaster
18:17:44 <AnMaster> k
18:17:53 <ehird`> i may make it reevaluate for the sake of better error messages
18:17:56 <ehird`> and assume the caller isn't an idiot.
18:18:12 <AnMaster> ehird`, BFI_MALLOC(rand()) *runs*
18:18:26 <ehird`> AnMaster: I said something about the caller not being an idiot
18:18:36 <ehird`> shiiit
18:18:37 <ehird`> i can't do
18:18:39 <ehird`> (a, return b)
18:18:50 <ehird`> crappers, how am i going to make BFI_MALLOC expressionable then
18:18:59 <ehird`> it needs to be able to return from the function it's called in
18:19:03 <ehird`> that's why its a macro in the first place
18:19:12 <AnMaster> hrm
18:19:16 -!- wildhalcyon has quit ("ChatZilla 0.9.81 [Firefox 2.0.0.11/2007112718]").
18:19:17 <AnMaster> ehird`, longjmp ;P
18:19:25 <ehird`> AnMaster: which requires a setjmp.
18:19:33 <AnMaster> or 1) a macro that calls 2) a function for most of it's stuff
18:19:35 <ehird`> and a variable decl, which i also can't expressionize
18:19:42 <ehird`> and, AnMaster, that still doesn't help
18:19:43 <ehird`> the fact is
18:19:55 <ehird`> i need to use BFI_MALLOC in an expression, because of 'void *p = BFI_MALLOC(...)'
18:20:01 <ehird`> but in the function doing that
18:20:03 <ehird`> if the malloc fails
18:20:03 <AnMaster> hm true
18:20:06 <ehird`> i must return BFI_ERR_OOM
18:20:21 <ehird`> which i cannot do, as far as i can see, in expression context
18:20:24 <ehird`> there is a gcc extension:
18:20:26 <ehird`> ({ ... })
18:20:30 <ehird`> but, well, gcc extension.
18:20:30 <ehird`> :)
18:20:36 <AnMaster> ehird`, yes I know about that
18:20:59 <AnMaster> ehird`, idea: use a different macro language first
18:21:03 <ehird`> lool
18:21:04 <AnMaster> like first process file in m4
18:21:10 <ehird`> very funny, AnMaster
18:21:13 <AnMaster> then compile result using normal C preprocessor

18:28:32 <AnMaster> Slereah-, that's an anagram of my nick isn't it?
18:29:01 <AnMaster> however, aspell doesn't accept "Steraman" as valid, nor can I find any sub parts of it that are valid

18:29:43 <Sgeo[College]> :D

19:02:44 <ehird`> err, no.
19:02:48 <ehird`> they have left, right.
19:02:58 <ehird`> the mighty mouse also has a 3d scrollwheel which can be clicked and two side buttons
19:03:00 <ehird`> but that's not important.
19:03:10 <ehird`> and their right click most certainly works properly...

19:17:10 <bsmntbombdood> yup
19:18:14 <slereah_> So what will you do now!
19:19:44 <bsmntbombdood> i know it's cliche, but i'm thinking of traveling and then starting my distillery
19:20:28 <slereah_> But what of prohibition!
19:21:41 <bsmntbombdood> um
19:21:56 <bsmntbombdood> the 21st ammendment was ratified 70 years ago
19:23:12 <slereah_> If you're travelling, don't travel to the past then!
19:23:56 <bsmntbombdood> wtf are you talking about
19:24:15 <slereah_> Time travel.
19:56:31 <ehird`> crap! i can't use getopt for bfi
19:56:47 <ehird`> because: it's not standard C. :)
19:59:18 <RodgerTheGreat> Do you think it'd be a neat idea if my assembler could be instructed that a given chunk of data memory is "for constants" (ie, they will never be written to during execution), and then have it search the rest of the program for that value?
19:59:59 <RodgerTheGreat> Like, if an instruction anywhere used the value 13, and you're looking for a 13, you just give the data half of that instruction as the address your constant 13 is stored, rather than using additional memory
20:01:12 <RodgerTheGreat> if used improperly, you could inadvertently create some really nasty self-modifying code situations, but if used properly, you could potentially squeeze many bytes out of the finished binary
20:03:47 <ehird`> RodgerTheGreat: Whatever it is it should be done automatically.
20:03:50 <RodgerTheGreat> I think if I combine this with some other ideas, I'll wind up with a very size-efficient compiler with *spectacular* results in out-of-bounds errors
20:03:54 <RodgerTheGreat> ehird`: yes, naturally
20:03:58 <ehird`> RodgerTheGreat: No -- I mean
20:04:01 <ehird`> no src file change
20:04:29 <RodgerTheGreat> It's much better if users simply declare data as "constant" and then everything else is automated
20:04:37 <ehird`> no
20:04:40 <ehird`> that's too manual
20:05:07 <RodgerTheGreat> well, not doing that and still having it work is on the order of the halting problem
20:07:27 <oerjan> as a general rule, you should not try to solve the halting problem in a hobby project.
20:07:37 <ehird`> yes you should

23:34:25 -!- kilbot has quit (Remote closed the connection).
23:34:44 <lament> ehird`: i assure you it would be a better idea to start from scratch.
23:34:51 <lament> the code is not pretty
23:34:56 <ehird`> I want to seeeee it
23:34:59 <lament> also as you can see by the "sender +"
23:35:01 <ehird`> so I can rewrite it from scratch, obviously
23:35:17 <lament> i was actually in the process of changing the game around when i abandoned it
23:36:04 <lament> you don't want the source! the entire message handler is one big multi-level if statement.
23:36:05 <ehird`> shoooow
23:36:08 <ehird`> come on
23:36:10 <ehird`> i've written worse
23:36:10 <ehird`> :D
23:36:16 <lament> why don't you rewrite it in erlang or haskell
23:36:30 <lament> or, for bonus points, in both
23:36:59 <ehird`> maybe
23:37:00 <ehird`> but show me it first
23:37:07 <lament> okay then
23:38:07 <lament> http://z3.ca/~lament/killbot.py
23:38:16 <lament> http://z3.ca/~lament/irclib.py
23:38:18 <ehird`> nice domain name
23:38:25 <ehird`> also
23:38:25 <ehird`> 403
23:38:47 <lament> again
23:39:21 <lament> ignore that it's in python and pretend that it's in perl
23:39:27 <lament> then the ugly code makes more sense
23:40:24 <ehird`> lament: It's not THAT bad.
23:40:46 <lament> it's pretty bad. the only goodness in it is irclib.py, which isn't mine.
23:41:02 <ehird`> lament: I may rewrite it in Haskell.
23:41:12 <ehird`> Using Network.IRC -- though I wil lwrite my own lib sometime.
23:41:23 <ehird`> lament: Is there something actually specifying the game? The code is hard to follow.
23:42:07 <lament> mwahahaha.
23:42:13 <lament> told you!
23:42:20 <lament> it would be easier just to ask me
23:42:24 <ehird`> lament: ok
23:42:25 <ehird`> consider this an ask
23:42:36 <lament> especially since the rules of the game changed during development
23:42:55 <lament> the game i originally implemented went like this:
23:43:14 <lament> somebody says !start, then people say !join, then somebody says !start again which starts the game.
23:43:34 <lament> then you say !kill nick to kill somebody (if both you and they are players)
23:43:50 <ehird`> and then...
23:44:10 <lament> or you can say !friend nick, which is really stupid because it means that now you can't kill them, but they still can kill you.
23:44:23 <lament> once you kill somebody, they're dead.
23:44:40 <lament> the game ends when the remaining players are all mutual friend.
23:44:42 <lament> s.
23:45:11 <lament> so then i modified those rules so that people have 2 lives
23:45:19 <ehird`> why would you !friend nick
23:45:20 <ehird`> :|
23:45:21 <lament> and you can only shoot the same person once
23:45:35 <lament> so it takes cooperation of two people to kill somebody
23:46:15 <lament> so with two players, A shoots B, B shoots A and the game stalls.
23:46:56 <lament> i don't think killbot checked for that, so they had to !friend each other for a shared victory.
23:47:11 <lament> feel free to come up with less brain-damaged rules.
23:48:43 <ihope> Exactly the same as that, except you can shoot people as many times as you want, the game ends after no shooting has been done for a while, and you can raise players from the dead. >:-)
23:48:53 <ehird`> ihope: Now THAT sounds fun!
