 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 (DECT: 7248) | 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 |

I think there were a few CLs on the Gerrit but nothing being actively worked The other thing that I could do if it helps is test things and try to find bugs. I did do some C++ work in the past, but may lack the time to do it justice here at least for about 30 days or so | 15:55:29 |
 Qyriad | we are not in any rush 🙂 | 17:20:53 |
| samrose | Would it help to also test out the existing Lix code and try to find issues/bugs etc? | 17:23:21 |
| Qyriad | absolutely | 17:23:41 |
| samrose |
- how do people feel about the existing test suite that comes along with nix source code or Lix?
