Re: [go-nuts] Re: Best IDE for GO ?

[Robert Solomon]

Showing the call stack is a core function of the Delve debugger for Go.  
See github.com/go-delve/delve/cmd/dlv.  Install w/
  go install github.com/go-delve/delve/cmd/dlv@latest

Once learning how to use delve, then any IDE/editor will work.  I believe 
that both VSCode and Goland use delve's code for their debugging 
capabilities

 Yes, as Luke Crook mentioned I think those requirements are more ALM

 Generally, ALM addresses concerns broader than individual concerns 
 whereas IDEs are more focused on individual productivity.

 Just my opinion, but I would expect you'd be better off finding an ALM 
 solution and then an IDE that integrates with that ALM, or vice versa, 
 i.e. 
 find an IDE that integrates with an ALM and then use that ALM.

[go-nuts] memory safe languages question

[Robert Solomon]

I've been reading that the NSA wrote a position paper last year about 
memory safe languages, which include C#, Go, Java, Ruby, Rust and Swift.

It's clear to me why C and C++ are not on that list.

I always thought that Ada sought to be memory safe, or is equivalent to 
that by saying that Ada focuses on proving programs to be correct.
Why isn't Ada considered memory safe, at least in the eyes of the NSA?

[go-nuts] Re: how do I use go test for code that needs a flag defined in flag package

[Robert Solomon]

A related issue:
Now that I can run go test and it's running, how do I define the flag.  
Currently, I define it in main(), and also the flag.Parse() is in main().
But main() is not run in go test, so I tried putting flag.BoolVar() and 
flag.Parse() in an init() function, but that doesn''t work either.

How do I test the operations of the flag package when running go test?

[go-nuts] how do I use go test for code that needs a flag defined in flag package

[Robert Solomon]

I have a routine that I want to test, that I have to pass a flag into this 
test.  This is on Win10 using Go 1.20.4.  This code is here:
https://go.dev/play/p/p-YeGDk1KaM

I want to pass a flag I call dots into the test code for this function.  I 
tried from within the correct directory

go test --args -dots
or
go test . --args -dots

Or from the top of my source tree where the go.mod file is :

go test .\detox --args -dots
go test .\detox\... --args -dots

I get an error message saying:

flag provided but not defined: -dots.  

But that flag does show up when I run the program using the -h flag, and it 
works when not in go test mode.
The full pgm is in the link above.

What am I missing?

Re: [go-nuts] filepath.walk in Go 1.19

[Robert Solomon]

I now have this working as I want using filepath/walk.  

But if I try to use a concurrent walk operation, like the one originally 
written by Michael T Jones, I get behavior that seems to treat any return 
of SkipDir as a fatal error and all walking stops.  filepath/walk does not 
do this; it continues to the next target correctly.

I feel I'm missing something.  Am I?

[go-nuts] filepath.walk in Go 1.19

[Robert Solomon]

On ubuntu 22.04, I would like the walk function to NOT follow symlinks to 
other filesystems.  The find command uses the -xdev switch to achieve this.

How can I get walk to behave like the -xdev switch to find?

Thx

Re: [go-nuts] Struggling w/ use of a waitgroup

[Robert Solomon]

I don't know how to change that.  
I had an issue w/ the main routine ending before some of the worker 
routines were done so I saw incomplete results.
How do I tweak my logic so that I don't need a WaitGroup?  

I forgot about my platform specific code.  Here is the rest of that, that 
is in a file to be compiled on windows.

package main

import (
"fmt"
"os"
"path/filepath"
"strings"
) // Glob is case sensitive.  I want case insensitive.

const estimatedNumberOfFiles = 100

func globCommandLineFiles(patterns []string) []string {
matchingNames := make([]string, 0, estimatedNumberOfFiles)
for _, pattern := range patterns {
matches, err := filepath.Glob(pattern) // Glob returns names of all 
files matching the case-sensitive pattern.
if err != nil {
fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, " Error from filepath.Glob is", err)
os.Exit(1)
} else if matches != nil { // At least one match
matchingNames = append(matchingNames, matches...)
}
}
return matchingNames
}

func commandLineFiles(patterns []string) []string {
workingDirname, err := os.Getwd()
if err != nil {
fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, "from commandlinefiles:", err)
return nil
}
dirEntries, e := os.ReadDir(workingDirname) // became available as of 
Go 1.16
if e != nil {
return nil
}

matchingNames := make([]string, 0, len(dirEntries))

for _, pattern := range patterns { // outer loop to test against 
multiple patterns.
for _, d := range dirEntries { // inner loop to test each pattern 
against the filenames.
if d.IsDir() {
continue // skip a subdirectory name
}
boolean, er := filepath.Match(pattern, 
strings.ToLower(d.Name()))
if er != nil {
fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, er)
continue
}
if boolean {
matchingNames = append(matchingNames, d.Name())
}
}
}
return matchingNames
}

[go-nuts] Struggling w/ use of a waitgroup

[Robert Solomon]

https://go.dev/play/p/gIVVLsiTqod

I'm trying to understand concurrency, so I modified a small routine I came 
across quite a while ago.  It's a grep command, but since I have its 
source, I am trying to understand its concurrency.
My problem is that when there are more than about 1800 files to be 
processed, the go routines all deadlock.
This code works fine as long as I have fewer than about 1800 files to 
process.
I don't understand why this happens.

Windows 10.
Tried w/ go1.17, go1.18 and go1.19

Re: [go-nuts] Using golang variable in bash script Command

[Robert Solomon]

I've done this for Linux and windows, as I regularly use both.  But I used 
a different strategy.  I used the os functions to retrieve a slice of 
strings that I can then filter and sort as I desire.  And I use the command 
line to get the target string.

github.com/drrob1/src/dsrt
also in that repo is ds and rex that do this. dsrtr and dsrtre search all 
subdirectories down from the current dir for what you describe.
And I also sort the returned list by time w/ the most recent first.

[go-nuts] cgo error I don't understand

[Robert Solomon]

I'm setting up a new Windows10 computer.  I installed Go 1.17.2 and mingw64 
for cgo.  When I tried to compile a project that uses cgo, I got this error:

cgo: exec gcc: gcc resolves to executable relative to current directory 
(.\\msys64\mingw64\bin\gcc.exe)

This is a program that compiles fine on my older win10 computer.

I don't think this matters, but I'm compiling a program of mine that uses 
fyne, which uses cgo.

[go-nuts] Re: Go 1.17 Beta 1 is released

[Robert Solomon]

I read the draft release notes.

Does Go 1.17 intend on supporting GOPATH mode.  I could not find any notes 
on this.

[go-nuts] Re: Modules... why it has to be so painfull?

[Robert Solomon]

I agree w/ your basic premise, that modules are quite painful.  
However, after much trials, tribulations, and posting here, I received the 
solution that allows me to structure my code as before (and like you, all 
in ~/go/src).  I only had to edit the import strings to reflect 
"src/mypackage" instead of "mypackage".
That is, I just had to add "src/" to all of my import statements for my own 
code.  I am able to leave the directory structure as is.
I also had to set GOBIN

Look at the responses I received under the subject "package  is 
not in GOROOT 

"

You are probably frustrated for the same reason as I, ie, the documentation 
for module mode is not written for us dummies.  I went over the docs and 
found them most unhelpful and needlessly complex.  They fall into the 
category of "understood only if previously understood."

Again, read the responses I received to my most recent thread, and you, 
too, will be ready to GO. *:-)*

[go-nuts] pointer receiver basic question

[Robert Solomon]

Hi.  I'm going thru the example code for container/heap.  In the 
documentation is this example:

func (h *IntHeap) Pop() interface{} {
old := *h
n := len(old)
x := old[n-1]
*h = old[0 : n-1]   // my question is about this line.
return x
}

Why does the last assignment have to assign to a dereferenced pointer, ie, 
*h = old[0 : n-1]?
Why does it not work if the last assignment is written as old = old[0 : 
n-1]?  I know this does not work because I tried it.

Thanks for your attention.

Re: [go-nuts] go 1.13 won't compile

[Robert Solomon]

Your experience matches mine when compiled on windows 10.

But linuxmint experience is as I described.   Another responder asked me if
it works when I set GO111MODULE=no.

It does work when I do that.   I find it interesting that the linux
behavior seems to be different

Re: [go-nuts] Re: go 1.13 won't compile

[Robert Solomon]

I'm getting the sense that my question is below getting an answer I can 
understand and follow.   

Is there a more suitable site for me to post my question without irritating 
people?

A humble request/challenge

Jabari Zakiya : Aug 08 01:18PM -0700

Hi

I primarly use Ruby for math/science problems/projects because it's so easy
to program in, and it allows me to think about how to solve problems
without worrying about how to code it. I've also played around with Crystal
(aka Ruby on steroids) but it's still young, and doesn't let me (currently)
do what I want, or without a lot of hassles, and I've just recently started
looking at Nim (less than a month at time of writing).

I heard about Go for sometime but never had any time/reason to learn it.
But now maybe I have incentive to do so.

I developed a prime sieve called the *Sieve of Zakiya (SoZ)*, and it's
companion the *Segmented Sieve of Zakiya (SSoZ)*. I wrote a paper, **The
Segmented Sieve of Zakiya (SSoZ)** which describes its mathematical
foundations and algorithm, and provide a working C++ implementation at the
end of the paper (compiled, run, and verified), though I don't consider
myself a C++ programmer, just funcitonal enough in it. It's a relatively
short program.

Here's a link to read and download the paper:

https://www.scribd.com/doc/228155369/The-Segmented-Sieve-of-Zakiya-SSoZ

My humble request/challenge is for a/some skilled Golanger(?) to translate
the code into idiomatic Go to demonstrate the best way to code the
algorithm in it. Extra points if someone can do a true parallel version of
the algorithm, which I attempted to do using OpemMP, but what I did didnt'
seem to make the code faster than the serial version (see paper).

I assume coding this the *Go way* would look different than the C++ code,
and be quite different than a direct translation into Go using the same
(probably suboptimal) structure.

Ultimately, I'd like to publish the results of benchmarks in different
languages doing the SSoZ in an updated paper.

If anyone would be willing to take up the challenge I'd be pleased to
answer any questions the best I can.

Thanks in advance.

Jabari

Downloading the paper requires a scribd account which costs money(*).
Is the paper available for free somewhere else?

(*) Or one can use the free month they offer, but misteriously to get
a free month they require you give them your credit card number.

[go-nuts] help with termbox-go

[Robert Solomon]

Hi.  I am learning go, and have no trouble w/ the CLI interface on either
Ubuntu 16.04-64 bit or win10-64 bit.
However, I am trying to learn termbox-go.  My simple hello world works on
Ubuntu but does not on win10.
First time I tried this on win10, I got a runtime error about a deadlock
situation.  I re-compiled and now all I get is a program that does not show
the termbox.

package main;

import (
"fmt"
"os"
"bufio"
tb "github.com/nsf/termbox-go"
"runtime"
   )

func print_tb(x,y int, fg,bg tb.Attribute, msg string) {
  for _,c := range msg {
tb.SetCell(x,y,c,fg,bg);
x++;
  }
}

func printf_tb(x,y int, fg,bg tb.Attribute, format string, args
...interface{}) {
  s := fmt.Sprintf(format,args...);
  print_tb(x,y,fg,bg,s);
}


func main() {
  var x,y int;
  var fg,fgBold,bg tb.Attribute;


  fmt.Println(" On", runtime.GOOS,", ARCH =",runtime.GOARCH,".  Press any
key to .");
  scanner := bufio.NewScanner(os.Stdin)
  scanner.Scan();
  _ = scanner.Text();

  err := tb.Init();
  if err != nil {
fmt.Println(" Init call to termbox-go failed with error:",err);
os.Exit(1);
  }
  defer tb.Close();

  x = 0;
  y = 0;

  fg = tb.ColorYellow;
  fgBold = tb.ColorYellow | tb.AttrBold;
  fgcyan := tb.ColorCyan
  fgboldcyan := tb.ColorCyan | tb.AttrBold;
  fgblue := tb.ColorBlue
  fgboldblue := tb.ColorBlue | tb.AttrBold;
  bg = tb.ColorBlack;
  err = tb.Clear(fg,bg);
  if err != nil {
fmt.Println(" First Clear call to termbox-go Clear failed with
error:",err);
os.Exit(1);
  }
  print_tb(x,y,fg,bg,"Hello World in Yellow");
  y++
  print_tb(x,y,fgBold,bg,"Hello World in Bold Yellow.");
  y++
  print_tb(x,y,fgcyan,bg,"Hello World in Cyan");
  y++
  print_tb(x,y,fgboldcyan,bg,"Hello World in Bold Cyan");
  y++
  print_tb(x,y,fgblue,bg,"Hello World in Blue");
  y++
  print_tb(x,y,fgboldblue,bg,"Hello World in Bold Blue, and then hit any
key to exit");
  err = tb.Flush();
  if err != nil {
panic(err);
  }
  event := tb.PollEvent();
  switch event.Type {
  case tb.EventKey:
  case tb.EventResize:
  case tb.EventNone:

  }

}

[go-nuts] Newbie Struggling w/ Hashing

[Robert Solomon]

Hi.  I'm trying to learn Go after many years of using a different
language.  My development machine runs Ubuntu 16.04 amd64, go 1.6.2
linux/amd

I compared the output of the following code, and my output differs from the
std utilities such as sha1sum, sha215sum, etc.  I used
go1.6.3.windows-386.msi as my test file.

I also noticed that the hashes that were output were different, depending
on the value I set for my ReadBufferSize.  I don't understand why the
output I'm seeing doesn't match the std utilities, and why the hashes vary
w/ my buffer size.

Thanks,

Not that I think these account for much, but sort of fun to point at:

https://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/u64q/go.html
(Short summary - now with Go 1.7, Go is faster for most benchmarks.)

And then, for language adoption, the TIOBE language index for August of
2016:
http://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/

(Note that the above is updated every six months, and I've not been able to
find a link to previous versions of the reports, however, you can look for
the trend for Go itself http://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/go/ ).
Go finally breaks into the top twenty.

As with any metrics, these are selective measures, and not really good
indicators by themselves. But at least they're positive with respect to Go.

It's because they changed their definition of Go. Quoting from
farther down the page: "The restriction "Google" has been removed from
the search queries for the programming language Go. Ilja Heilager
sorted out that without the search term "Google" the resulting Go hits
are still referring to the Go language. After having removed this
restriction Go jumped from position #55 to #20. Thanks Ilja!"

Ian
Eric Johnson <e...@tibco.com>: Aug 29 06:25PM -0700

Well, sure. I read that too. I think it is still useful that my intuition
that Go is gaining adoption aligns with what prominent metrics are

Go1.7 is faster in most benchmarks, but still slower than Java in some

I don't think TIOBE is useful beyond position 10 or so. Anyway ...

"monthly commits" is a very expressive, clearly defined indicator.
Obviously, C is on a steep decline in the OSS world, while Go (you
may switch off the C line to see it better) is
