 vczf | I got my repl doc/edit pipe issue figured out kinda with a lot of trial and error, though I don’t really understand why it works
I am really struggling with basic discoverability in the codebase.
Anybody have advice on what to use for debugging? I used gdb a bit and was able to set a breakpoint in repl.cc, but couldn’t get much info out of the Value, or call the methods on it
Also has anybody written any high level explainer on nix/lix internals? | 09:28:39 |
 piegames | What issue are you working on? | 11:28:25 |
| piegames | I think there is some high-level explainer of the codebase on wiki.lix.systems, but unsure if it will cover what you want here | 11:29:08 |

Also has anybody written any high level explainer on nix/lix internals? Normally, there's an automatic gdb script for Value, did it get loaded? | 11:54:11 |
| piegames | Last time I did some debugging with horrors it required manually loading / adding to an init file, and then it somehow didn't work with my setup somehow | 11:55:51 |
| raitobezarius | There's a safeness mechanism that prevent auto loading | 11:57:22 |

| vczf | I have been looking into why documentation doesn’t show up for lib.trivial.pipe in the repl (or other partially applied primops like bitNot)
Eldritch horrors actually reviewed my code and I have a bit more to go on | 18:32:34 |
| vczf | I was able to get some info out of value after adding the suggested line to my gdbinit | 18:33:34 |
| vczf | I’m not experienced with c++, so I might just be expecting too much from gdb vs java/dart as far as debugging goes | 18:35:35 |
| piegames | Some people swear on gdb, but for me it's a downgrade from IntelliJ Java land | 18:36:20 |

| raitobezarius | vczf FYI, Gerrit etiquette is that "ack" means "you read the comment but you are not addressing it" and "done" means "you read the comment and addressed it" usually | 20:43:59 |
| raitobezarius | (it doesn't really matter a lot in practice because we can compare patchsets) | 20:44:32 |

vczf FYI, Gerrit etiquette is that "ack" means "you read the comment but you are not addressing it" and "done" means "you read the comment and addressed it" usually Should I have left it unresolved? Felt odd to leave it unacknowledged when it may be some time before I update the code | 22:31:15 |

Should I have left it unresolved? Felt odd to leave it unacknowledged when it may be some time before I update the code Yeah it helps keep the "todo list" synced with your reviewer to leave unresolved if the code is non updated | 23:15:45 |
| raitobezarius | If you ack, your reviewer is the next one who needs to act | 23:16:01 |
| raitobezarius | When it should be you who should act | 23:16:14 |
| vczf | Gotcha | 23:18:24 |
