<FromGitter>
<mattrberry> Cool I'll take it, thanks :)
<FromGitter>
<mattrberry> Oh yeah @oprypin:matrix.org, I'm likely going to look into your imgui bindings to get a small frontend going soon. Maybe this weekend :)
<FromGitter>
<oprypin:matrix.org> @mattrberry good! well, note that there's still no premade setup for sdl
<FromGitter>
<mattrberry> Yeah nw, I'm expecting to have to mess around with it a bit
<FromGitter>
<mattrberry> Oh also, did you know that someone is making a crystal DS emulator now with your sfml/imgui bindings?
<FromGitter>
<mattrberry> Still in the *very* early stages
<FromGitter>
<oprypin:matrix.org> wow i cannot believe it's literally the first project using my binding. it took so much work, and yet,..

<mattrberry> Your imgui bindings or sfml? I know of a handful of other ones using your sfml bindings at least

<Sija> @naqvis What’s `bytesize(count)` in your example?
<FromGitter>
<naqvis> oops
<FromGitter>
<naqvis> @Sija `bytesize` is private method inside `Pointer` struct
<FromGitter>
<Sija> I know but it doesn’t take any arguments, that’s why I’m asking
<FromGitter>
<Sija> oh, this one
<FromGitter>
<Sija> thanks for the pointer (pun intended) ;)
<FromGitter>
<Sija> @naqvis That seems like sensible addition to the stdlib, will u post a PR with it?
<FromGitter>
<naqvis> sure @Sija

<toddsundsted> does anyone have metrics for compiler memory required for their release builds? i'm running a vps with 4GB and building a relatively small project (https://github.com/toddsundsted/ktistec). the build just started to fail and i'm trying to decide whether to invest time to reduce the build size, or just upgrade.
<FromGitter>
<toddsundsted> thanks in advance
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> whats the error? also any reason to just build statically and move the binary to the vps?
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> not to*
<FromGitter>
<toddsundsted> i'm considering that option. i have a capistrano build set up that's worked well until now--that's the only point of reluctance. i'm seeing "OOM killed process" messages in dmesg
<FromGitter>
<toddsundsted> and when i watch progress in htop, i can see the build slowly consume ram and than swap
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> could you add like `--stats --progress` to the build? that would output info showing memory/time usages and stuff
<FromGitter>
<toddsundsted> @Blacksmoke16 yes, i'll do that
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> also are you using the latest `0.36.1`?
<FromGitter>
<toddsundsted> i'm still on 0.35.1
<FromGitter>
<toddsundsted> there's a compilation failure on 0.36.x i'm still investigating
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> gotcha

<toddsundsted> hmm... it doesn't look bad at all ⏎ $ /usr/bin/time -v crystal build --stats --progress --release src/ktistec/server.cr ⏎ Parse: 00:00:00.000177074 ( 0.25MB) ⏎ Semantic (top level): 00:00:10.210398295 ( 124.15MB) ⏎ Semantic (new): 00:00:00.008679838 ( 124.15MB) ... [https://gitter.im/crystal-lang/crystal?at=601ab0cd4f7d1b68e52ac53a]
<FromGitter>
<toddsundsted> that build worked, too
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> building statically and just uploading the binary is the way to go tho
<FromGitter>
<toddsundsted> yes, i'll look at that.
<FromGitter>
<asterite> Note that the memory in that output is just the one Crystal knows about (actually, the GC knows about). LLVM surely uses memory too, but you can't see that. So it might be hitting that 4GB limit, I don't know
<FromGitter>
<toddsundsted> got it. i suspect then i'm right on the edge of being able to build on the vps
<FromGitter>
<toddsundsted> so it works intermittently
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> id try with `0.36.1`

<toddsundsted> the project triggers a compiler crash on 0.36.x. i was hoping to put that off and hunt that down later
<FromGitter>
<asterite> Another thing you can try is pass `--threads 1` so llvm modules are compiled one by one instead of in parallel
<FromGitter>
<asterite> I see that Array is behind inherited, it might be the cause of the bug... not that you shouldn't do that, it's just that that thing isn't very well supported right now
<FromGitter>
<toddsundsted> @asterite thanks for both hints!
<FromGitter>
<toddsundsted> taking a look at that
<FromGitter>
<toddsundsted> that might be it. temporarily replacing PaginatedArray with Array succeeds. going to see if i can create a small test case.
<FromGitter>
<toddsundsted> actually, just removing the definition of PaginatedArray fixes the problem
<FromGitter>
<asterite> Didn't it change from type to alias?
<FromGitter>
<naqvis> oops sorry, saw it otherway around
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> cant say im seeing any errors
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> got the latest code?
<FromGitter>
<asterite> I'm not seeing errors either. I just ran `bin/crystal spec spec/std/int_spec.cr`
<FromGitter>
<naqvis> yeah, that was the problem, just checked, i was working on older copy of code
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> 👍
<FromGitter>
<asterite> CI also compiles and a new compiler and runs the specs with it, so basically that's already tested

<Uzay-G> Hi, I'm trying to parse several GBs of data using a crystal program, but I've been getting some errors / what I think is a memory leak with the message `mmap(PROT_NONE) failed`. I saw this https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal/issues/9805 but I'm not sure if any fix was merged in. Is there some flag / method I could use to resolve the memory issues? Maybe should I use a temporary external storage solution I
<FromGitter>
... would call from crystal.
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> are you doing like `File.read`?
<FromGitter>
<Uzay-G> yeah
<FromGitter>
<Uzay-G> that closes the file after u call it no?
<FromGitter>
<Uzay-G> is that wrong?
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> i mean you're loading the entire contents of the file into memory at once
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> using `File.open` and doing something with the related `io` would be more performant
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> like are you going line by line or?
<FromGitter>
<Uzay-G> oh the files are split into several
<FromGitter>
<Uzay-G> several 43 MB files
<FromGitter>
<Uzay-G> it works for the first 80/100 files
<FromGitter>
<Uzay-G> but the problem is along the execution of the program I'm saving a part of the file contents into a `Hash`
<FromGitter>
<Uzay-G> which is getting bigger and bigger
<FromGitter>
<Uzay-G> and then i dump that hash into a file at the end of the program but i can't really dump it midway because all of the data is related
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> ah so cant write the file as you go?
<FromGitter>
<Uzay-G> not really
<FromGitter>
<Uzay-G> because the data is somewhat related
<FromGitter>
<Uzay-G> so i might have info in the last chunk that would have changed what my result of parsing the first chunk
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> are you doing anything fancy with what you're storing in the hash? One option might be to use IOs to read/write as you go to a tmp file, then at the end parse that temp file to build your final file?
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> that way you have very minimal amount of data in memory at. time
_ht has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> or tbh id just try doing what you're doing but use `File.open` instead of `File.read` then go from there
<FromGitter>
<Uzay-G> > that way you have very minimal amount of data in memory at a time ⏎ but then when i build the final file wouldn't I have the same problem?
<FromGitter>
<Uzay-G> > or tbh id just try doing what you're doing but use File.open instead of File.read then go from there
<FromGitter>
<Uzay-G> i'll try that out, but so does that mean that File.read doesn't close the file immediately after reading it? What would be the advantages of using File.open?
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> it doesnt load all the file contents into memory at once. If you have a little example of what exactly you're doing with the files i could prob give a better example
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> yea `File` inherits from `IO::FileDescriptor` which inherits from `IO` therefor `File` is an `IO`
<FromGitter>
<franciscoadasme> hey everyone, I find out that `#flat_map` only concatenates if the return type of the block is either an Array or Iterator... why is that?, why not Enumerable or Indexable as well?
<FromGitter>
<oprypin:matrix.org> @franciscoadasme: i dunno, maybe because 4 years ago was a simpler time, and supporting Iterator is better than not supporting it? ⏎ https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal/pull/3766
<FromGitter>
<franciscoadasme> I don't follow... I meant that why concatenate only on Array and Iterator instead of simply Enumerable, (excerpt from Enumerable#flat_map) ⏎ ⏎ ``` code paste, see link``` [https://gitter.im/crystal-lang/crystal?at=601b2af8ae4b9b27c1998285]
<FromGitter>
<franciscoadasme> I was returning a Tuple in the block for `#flat_map` (to avoid intermediary arrays) and it returned `Array(Tuple(U, ...))` instead of `Array(U)` as one would expect
<FromGitter>
<franciscoadasme> To me, an `Enumerable` is a collection of elements, so if I have a collection of collections of T and I flat it, I expect to get a collection of T (regardless of the concrete collection types)... does it make sense or am I missing something?
