 emily | (and then that conversion built-in would be useful for the other use caess) | 17:50:41 |
 Qyriad | Ahh | 18:00:08 |
| * Qyriad nods | 18:00:10 |
| emily | is there actually a reliable way to feature detect NULs in strings currently? | 19:29:19 |
| emily | everything I can think of would abort in current Nix versions | 19:29:33 |
 jade_ | sounds like we need builtins.features real bad? | 19:39:21 |
| emily | it could just be a boolean | 19:40:30 |
 raitobezarius | detect NULs in a string OR detect NUL support in strings? | 19:40:37 |
| emily | builtins.nulBytesInStrings or false | 19:40:39 |
| jade_ | yes, that's what builtins.features is for :) | 19:40:40 |
| raitobezarius | i read the question in a different way | 19:40:41 |
| emily | fair enough | 19:40:49 |
| jade_ | we should not pollute the builtins namespace itself | 19:40:50 |
| raitobezarius | i thought this was about builtins.doesItHaveSomeNuls s | 19:40:51 |
| emily | no, it's about being able to portably use NUL bytes | 19:41:10 |
| jade_ | the only reason we don't have builtins.features is cuz nobody had time to do it yet | 19:41:20 |
| Qyriad | does it need any further design work or anything? | 22:10:45 |

 helle (just a stray cat girl) | we are having a laugh/cry at the CI pipeline due to a merge requiring a rebase and that requiring a CI pass, it's an understandable problem, but we missed the window due to us having a migraine | 09:23:17 |
| raitobezarius | Soon, merge queue | 09:58:31 |
| helle (just a stray cat girl) | yes pls | 09:58:41 |
