to allow for ^

@FromIRC

<Zevv> @zacharycarter: you're not forced to qualify

Zachary Carter

@zacharycarter

oh? I thought you were

From IRC (bridge bot)

@FromIRC

<Zevv> only for non-unique values

Zachary Carter

@zacharycarter

ah okay

@FromIRC

<livcd> good morning

<livcd> @gogolxdong: you around?

Zachary Carter

@zacharycarter

I think the best thing to do is for an enum named FooEnum prefix all values with fe so like feFoo feBar etc...

From IRC (bridge bot)

@FromIRC

<Zevv> that is soo C

<lqdev[m]> but it doesn't cause as many problems as in C (namespacing)

Zachary Carter

@zacharycarter

I don't really mind if some C patterns are baked into Nim

but others cough Zevv take offense for some reason :P

like when you use const FOO_BAR = 1

I have a feeling that makes Zevv twitch / cringe

From IRC (bridge bot)

@FromIRC

<FromDiscord_> <Shield> you gotta scream those consts

<Zevv> oh no I love that

<Zevv> I'm a C man, and too old to ever change

Zachary Carter

@zacharycarter

lol

From IRC (bridge bot)

@FromIRC

<Zevv> I hate it that nim has no proper preprocessor to abuse

<Zevv> all this fiddling with macros, bah

Zachary Carter

@zacharycarter

hahaha

Alexander Ivanov

@alehander92

you can kinda do it with source filters

liuxiaodong

@gogolxdong

@livcd yes

From IRC (bridge bot)

@FromIRC

<Zevv> wow lets make an m4 compatible source filter

Alexander Ivanov

@alehander92

+ term rewriting macros

From IRC (bridge bot)

@FromIRC

<livcd> @gogolxdong: Do you know xcgui ?

<PMunch> livcd, hard to find any english docs on it it seems

liuxiaodong

@gogolxdong

what's that?

From IRC (bridge bot)

@FromIRC

<livcd> some chinese gui lib

<livcd> http://www.xcgui.com/

<PMunch> Windows only by the looks of it

liuxiaodong

@gogolxdong

yeah, it's Windows only.

<PMunch> Hmm, what are the current differences between a normal build and -d:release?

<PMunch> My program fails when I compile with -d:release on 0.20.2, but works fine without

<Zevv> "fails"?

<PMunch> It's doing some decryption, which comes out garbled on a release build

From IRC (bridge bot)

@FromIRC

<leorize> I think the only diff are: stacktrace off, -O3 optimization on

<leorize> I think -O3 is messing up with your code, try passing -d:release -t:'-O0' and see if it's working

<PMunch> Nope, still messed up

<PMunch> Was that supposed to be -t

<leorize> it's --passC, I think the sort form is -t

<leorize> try --opt:none then

<PMunch> Ah, it's definitely -O3 that does it

<PMunch> But passing -O0 to a release build adds both flags, and the GCC compiler chooses O3

<PMunch> Just passing O3 without release messes up as well

<PMunch> Some for O1

From IRC (bridge bot)

@FromIRC

<Zevv> So O3 messes up your nim-generated code?

<PMunch> Hmm, strange, this used to work..

<PMunch> Zevv, I don't think O3 does anything to the code does it?

<Zevv> well, it can break bad code
