[Issue 18274] va_arg (TypeInfo) broken for static arrays

--- Comment #1 from Johannes Pfau  ---
OK, I see that my assumption to get out exactly the same type as passed in was
flawed. If you strictly interpret the passed arguments according to _arguments,
the type of the data changed from static to dynamic array, but the data is
still correct. So this is not really a bug.

Re: gRPC in D good idea for GSOC 2018?

2018-01-21 Thread Timothee Cour via Digitalmars-d 
> Do we even have protobuf package?

https://github.com/msoucy/dproto
it could receive some attention, there are pending issues

for RPC I've been using msgpackrpc since no gRPC was available. But
would be nice to have gRPC.

NOTE: capnproto is a very interesting newer alternative to protobuf;
https://github.com/capnproto/capnproto-dlang shows:
Missing RPC part of Cap'n Proto.
helping out capnproto project (esp around RPC) could be another idea.

we definitely need a good way to do RPC in D, otherwise hard to
integrate D with other services.

But it would enable using D in places that were not previously
possible (integrating with services); we could imaging providing a
(semi) stable interface for grpc in D code and change implementation
to use better foundations later

Yeah.

Although after doing some manual tracking and isolation of the 
suspect routines, I found that using "std.concurrency.spawn" to 
run a http post request with the "requests" library was the 
leaking suspect.


I'm triggering some 15 requests every 5 seconds in production, so 
it's obvious there, but querying "GC.usedSize" I was able to 
observe the same on my dev environment.


After removing the "spawn" call, and wrapping up the post code 
inside a "runTask", it seems to work properly now, and so far I 
have a consistently small memory size in production.


Not sure why "spawn" would leak like that tho. I would assume 
that once the thread exits, it would get destroyed and it's 
resources reclaimed, specially when I have calls to "GC.collect 
and GC.minimize".

[Issue 18275] New: dmd deletes source file fun.cpp with `dmd fun.cpp.o main.d`

2018-01-21 Thread d-bugmail--- via Digitalmars-d-bugs

  Issue ID: 18275
   Summary: dmd deletes source file fun.cpp with `dmd fun.cpp.o
main.d`
   Product: D
   Version: D2
  Hardware: x86
OS: All
Status: NEW
  Severity: critical

```

```

clang++ -o fun.cpp.o -c fun.cpp
dmd fun.cpp.o main.d

(same bug with ldc2)
this caused https://github.com/Syniurge/Calypso/issues/59

proposed fix:
if `-of` explicitly passed on cmd line, fine, nothing to check

if not, infer output file as we already do, but first assert(!file.exists)
(regardless of what type of file it is, that's irrelevant)

downside:
dmd main2.d
#creates main2
dmd main2.d
#error main2 already exists, please specify -of=main2 explicitly to force write

I think the downside is not as bad as the bug I reported which deletes source
code and can be very damaging if the file wasn't backed up in its latest form,
which is common in edit/compile/debug cycles

Hello,

I re wrote my old BST. This one is far more complete and clean.

However, It fails my final unittest when I try to stick a class 
in as its type.


Link: https://dpaste.dzfl.pl/95e1ae49b25b

Ive done this type of thing before, but it is giving me this 
error:


BinarySearchTree.d(30): Error: function

(Empty item) is not callable using argument types (const(Empty))
BinarySearchTree.d(574): Error: template instance

the New method is on line 94;

I was looking through the Programming in D book, and can't find 
what this is really telling me.


I have templated Stack and queue classes that don't give me these 
errors??


How do I make the BST accept classes like the one in my test?

I don't deal with const stuff, so I'm not too sure what to look 
for concerning these problems.


I'm still looking in the book/site for answers.

You can use d-apt 

Install TkD packages:

$ sudo apt-get install libtkd-dev libtkd-doc

Then compile and run the example included on "libtkd-doc" package:

$ dmd `pkg-config --cflags --libs tkd` -J/usr/share/libtkd-doc/example/media/

Just rename one of the functions. It is really bad form to have

they share a namespace and make conflicts likely.


I'd name one like `callback_lib_name` and the other 
`callback_other_lib`. You might even be able to do `alias 
callback = callback_lib_name;` after the definition to keep all 
the D code compiling with no other changes.

This code is currently broken:

https://run.dlang.io/is/68hf1w
-
void foo(...)
{
uint[4] data;
va_arg(_argptr, _arguments[0], );
//data = va_arg!(uint[4])(_argptr);
writeln(data);
}

void main()
{
uint[4] value = [1, 2, 3, 4];
foo(value);
}
-
[4, 0, 3567405808, 32767]

The commented, static variant works. The problem is that DMD passes static
arrays as {.ptr, .length} slice with TypeInfo_Tuple for D variadic functions.
va_arg would have to detect this and instead of just copying the data it has to
dereference the pointer. I'm not sure if this is easily possible though: DMD
passes TypeInfo_Tuple instead of TypeInfo_StaticArray. Can TypeInfo_Tuple only
occur for static arrays? If so, fixing this is easy. If not, we have to pass
proper TypeInfo for static array parameters.

I don't know why we even do this, at least on AArch64 we can have much better
performance by just passing static arrays by value in the same way a struct
would be passed. Passing as ptr+length requires another special case in the
va_arg function for static arrays.

Re: -transition=safe and DIP1000

2018-01-21 Thread Carsten Blüggel via Digitalmars-d-learn 

My understanding is, currently read DIP1000 as:
"NB: this DIP is out of sync with -dip1000 compiler switch 
implementation ...".


My own current problem fits well in this thread:

I want to push forward support of -dip1000 in phobos, testing 
each module's compatibility with -dip1000 individually and try to 
fix where required/possible.
There is https://github.com/dlang/phobos/blob/master/posix.mak, I 
added to my forks file:

DFLAGSSINGLE=$(DFLAGS) -dip1000
and fiddled to introduce DFLAGSSINGLE in the proper target, yet 
realizing, make/makefile and it's cryptic details knowledge 
largely left my brain.


Can anybody give me a hint, ideally introducing a target for that 
purpose, if required?

Invocation will be: make -f posix.mak std/somemodule.test   ?

Hey, thanks for your great work! Would it be possible to add

you!


See https://wiki.dlang.org/Building_LDC_from_source


You can also use the armhf build of ldc 1.6, even if just to 
build 1.7 yourself:


https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/releases/tag/v1.6.0


Please note that building a release package isn't identical to 
just build from source; there are subtle diffs and additional 
steps to be undertaken. I hope we get an ARM CI box soon and can 
automate the armhf package generation as well.


In the meantime, I started an LLVM 5.0.1 build in my qemu 
emulator 12 hours ago; one third has been compiled so far, so you 
may expect the armhf package to be available tomorrow or the day 
after that.

Adding -transition=? to the dmd (v2.078.0) command line doesn't 
show safe listed.

My understanding is, currently read DIP1000 as:
"NB: this DIP is out of sync with -dip1000 compiler switch

Yes, the representation of DIP1000.md deserves improvement: It 
takes (too) much time to get a grip on it, maybe discouraging, 
though the idea itself is not that complicated as it is 
presented. I additionally warmly recommend Walter Bright's 
"Pointers Gone Wild: Memory Safety and D - Walter Bright |

Well, I found

But, didn't really clear much up for me.

I found the following statement in the DIP1000 document 
(https://github.com/dlang/DIPs/blob/master/DIPs/DIP1000.md)


NB: this DIP is out of sync with -transition=safe 
implementation available in dmd and pending a rewrite. Most key 
points still apply though.


What is/was `transition=safe`?  I can't find any documentation on 
it.


And what does "NB" mean?

Thanks,
