@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyI guess I can just duplicate, move, rebase, but ugh17:22:01
@charles:computer.surgeryCharles🪦17:22:48
@jade_:matrix.orgjade_ yeah. idk. i find so many bugs in code review of stuff that got accepted by cppnix that i think that most code has to be rewritten anyway. i think it's possible to rename the directory in a commit that you can base the cherry-picked one on, or something like that. 17:25:50
@jade_:matrix.orgjade_for example, i found straight up wrong code in here (in addition to error messages that refer to concepts that only exist in C++ and not in user facing places) i am still happy to port the fix, but it's going to experience some rewrites17:27:16
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyI don't think your review is right17:28:07
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilybecause that is a float17:28:12
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilythe whole problem is that it is going via floats, so it has float limits17:28:26
@commentator2.0:elia.gardenRutile (Commentator2.0) feel free to ping
In reply to @emilazy:matrix.org
you can't --accept-tests a change from an eval failure to success or vice versa
You should be able to iirc, if that actually doesnt work, create an issue and ill make it work

@commentator2.0:elia.gardenRutile (Commentator2.0) feel free to pingOh wsit17:28:58
@commentator2.0:elia.gardenRutile (Commentator2.0) feel free to pingYeah no17:29:01
@commentator2.0:elia.gardenRutile (Commentator2.0) feel free to pingNvm is a different runner not just different output17:29:14
@jade_:matrix.orgjade_oh yes, you're right. i hate implicit conversions (code style issue in this code imo)17:30:55
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyI'm just saying, missing things in code review is a general phenomena :p17:31:54

FWIW we are running UBSAN in CI for some time now, so signed overflow should be caught (modulo compiler quirks)
17:51:49
@xokdvium:matrix.orgSergei Zimmerman (xokdvium)Test coverage is another matter though17:52:56
@xokdvium:matrix.orgSergei Zimmerman (xokdvium)Does Lix track code coverage in CI?17:54:32
@xokdvium:matrix.orgSergei Zimmerman (xokdvium)(Not a panacea but quite useful)17:55:05
@jade_:matrix.orgjade_ I don't think we have tracking of it per se because our tests run in nix, but we probably could, in principle. 18:13:31
@xokdvium:matrix.orgSergei Zimmerman (xokdvium)I've recently added clang-based source coverage to CI for nix.18:13:54
@xokdvium:matrix.orgSergei Zimmerman (xokdvium)(And the tests run in nix as well)18:14:08
@jade_:matrix.orgjade_it probably needs to consider coverage of the functional tests as well, so that's a little bit fun18:14:25
@xokdvium:matrix.orgSergei Zimmerman (xokdvium)Yup, functional tests are included as well. The only thing that's missing is the nixos tests18:14:45
@xokdvium:matrix.orgSergei Zimmerman (xokdvium)It's a bit undercooked at the moment with some rough edges, but at least it works and enough to track the metrics and push html to hydra18:15:44
@xokdvium:matrix.orgSergei Zimmerman (xokdvium)https://github.com/NixOS/nix/blob/58eabe7479177dc63cf3c704230a45b9260b3fec/ci/gha/tests/default.nix#L17218:16:22
@jade_:matrix.orgjade_so umm. they seem to have defined this as "throws .. sometimes .. if certain int to float conversions fail .. sometimes"18:17:01
@jade_:matrix.orgjade_surely these should just passthrough integers entirely unmodified18:17:12
@jade_:matrix.orgjade_right?18:17:18
@emilazy:matrix.orgemily I assume the conservative throw is for the same reason you did one in fromJSON 18:17:40
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilykeeps options open18:17:47
@jade_:matrix.orgjade_I also rewrote the float to int conversion to use the correct function18:17:51
