Re: [Vala] Preprocessor defines via Meson or valac
If I can suggest a small improvement, you could use the
declare_dependency mechanism to add the definition only to the targets
that link against libfuse:
libfuse_dep = dependency('libfuse')
libfuse26_dep = declare_dependency(dependencies: [libfuse_dep].
compile_args: '-
DFUSE_USE_VERSION=26')
executable('mount', 'mount.c', dependencies: [libfuse26_dep])

Try to split the arguments in two or remove the space between '-D' and
'FUSE_USE_VERSION=26'.
Like mentioned elsewhere, you will have to set language: 'c' for this
case to work.

Re: [Vala] Downloading only a portion in the latter part of a file from internet
Your code is problematic: skipping the DataInputStream does not guarantee you that the underlying FileInputStream will be positioned at the desired byte offset when skipped. This is due to the buffering. If you are to operate on your stream via a DataInputStream, use it exclusively: var dis = DataInputStream(file_stream) dis.skip(80); uint8 buffer[160]; size_t buffer_len; dis.read_all(buffer, out buffer_len); Alternatively, you should consider an HTTP range query, which will allow you to do the skip operation at zero-cost. It's a bit more boilerplate to set up the session and the HTTP message, but might be worth it if you skip numerous bytes.

Re: [Vala] valaDevelop
Just a suggestion: you should setup a simple GitHub page from the repository and ship sources as assets in empty releases if you don't intend to distribute the source code. I'm not a big fan of freeware, but since we already display IDE like IntelliJ and TextMate, I think it's fine to put your work as well. What features are implemented so far?

Yeah, my mistake! Evan actually pointed that out first on IRC.

What I think we need is an Elvis accessor to turn:
C? c = null;
var a = thing_a ();
if (a != null) {
var b = thing_b ();
if (b != null) {
c = thing_c ();
}
}
into:
var c = thing_a ()?.thing_b ()?.thing_c ();

The notion of profiles has been dropped for maintainability. What I'm proposing here is not profiles per-se, but more a modular design with a core Vala compiler.

Personally, I think it would be more efficient to make thoses changes incrementally and release them continuously to get some solid feedback. I don't really want to have a pending wip/transform again for years and if we decide to make all those in the perspective of a 1.x, it will never release. Let's do what we can do now and make it usable with --nostdpkg and in a 1.x, we'll just drop explicit stuff. > > This would also be a good opportunity to split GLib, GObject and GIO > up > into separate namespaces, which would be more consistent with this > suggested approach of using --pkg to enable compiler-specific > features.

[Vala] Roadmap for extending Vala's reach
Hello all!
We currently have a very promiscous relationship with GLib and I would
like to propose some changes to make this more explicit.
Each --pkg argument would consist of a VAPI and a compiler plugin (from
wip/transform) for generating specific code and extending the language
syntax. One optional plugin per package seems sane to me.
No --pkg arguments at all:
* basic Vala syntax
* basic C codegen
* standard C types (int, uint -> unsigned int, char, uchar, ...)
* no API
At this point, one could introduce a different set of definitions for
supporting, let's say, a micro-controller C standard library in just a
matter of a --pkg flag.
With --pkg=posix
* posix C API
With --pkg=glib-2.0
* shadowed standard C types in GLib.* namespace, which would become in
default with a 'using GLib;' declaration
* GLib C API
* support for basic introspection (--gir and the like)
No more imlicit 'using GLib;'. However, including it would shadow all
the numerical types and produce a nice GLib-friendly API.
With --pkg=gobject-2.0
* GObject API
* typeof
* signals
* support for advanced introspection
With --pkg=gio-2.0
* GIO API
* asynchronous primitives
* DBus code generator
With --pkg=gtk-3.0
* GTK API
* [GtkBuilder] annotations
We can have a pure Posix C backend and compile anything with:
valac --ccode --pkg=posix main.vala
public int main () {} => int main (void) {}
Or if one would like to target Emscripten platform:
valac --ccode --pkg=emscripten main.vala
public int main () {} => #include int main (void) {}
For usual GLib code:
valac --ccode --pkg=glib-2.0 main.vala
using GLib;
public int main () {} => gint main (void) {}
It would be breaking stuff that is not explicitly using --pkg=glib-2.0
and 'using GLib'. We could actually use the '--nostdpkg' switch to sort
of reset the compiler down to it's most basic feature set and wait
until 1.0 to drop it and have some good defaults.
At first, it would be to make --nostdpkg work flawlessly while
preserving entire backward-compatibility. That'll be good for a minor
release.
Tell me what you think about this!

There's a couple of changes on the way for the next release of Meson (0.40.0) that will have a really good and positive aspect for people using Vala: - support for multiple install directories (girdir, vapidir, includedir, ...) - support for VALAFLAGS and -Dvala_args to pass compiler arguments from an external source - arguments for specific GIR and VAPI install directory - better and more consistent arguments for Vala targets If you don't use Meson yet, I strongly suggest you to consider using it and help me making it into tier-1 language!

The following snippet works perfectly fine:
bool is_null_or_empty (string? a) {
return a == null || a.length == 0;
}
assert (is_null_or_empty (null));
assert (is_null_or_empty (""));

[Vala] Vast and other numerical projects
Hi all, I'm working on a really nice project in collaboration with Yu Feng. https://github.com/rainwoodman/vast In the short term, this will provide a multi-dimensional dense array implementation comparable to NumPy minus the Python runtime overhead. There's already a couple of view routines implemented and we plan to generate code, lot's of it! I have a separate project which provide additional numerical types to be used in the dense array (or anywhere else for that matter): https://github.com/arteymix/numeric-glib Then we'll address computation graph with the goal of reducing the time needed to evaluate and compute gradients when processing data with high dimensionality compared to other existing tools. This should be heavily based on GObject Introspection to conveniently inject existing code into the graph. There's some future plan to implement a Jupyter/IPython kernel for Vala and Genie. I have some drafts of using libvala to rewrite snippets AST into chained blocks and evaluate them using forked processes. It should not be too difficult considering that we already have ZeroMQ bindings and an excellent library for the language. While all these are pet projects, I am pretty optimist that we will have a nice general purpose multi-dimensional array implementation for crunching some serious numbers out of all that.

Re: [Vala] Libsoup websockets
In general, with GIO, you don't need to run anything in a subprocess.
Keeping it single-threaded and let async I/O dictate your concurrence
model.
One really nice way to scale on multi-core is to notably use
subprocesses through fork. Once you listen, you can fork before
launching loops.
server.listen_local (8080);
Posix.fork (); // 2
Posix.fork (); // 4
Posix.fork (); // 8 process
new MainLoop ().run ();
They now all share a common file descriptor for the listening interface
and the kernel will perform load balancing across the workers for free.
I managed to scale an application on 64 cores this way ;) reaching
~100k req/sec this way.
Good luck,

You should try the 'ws://localhost:8080/' URI instead. It's also
necessary to run a GLib.MainLoop.
Also, you don't need to bind a socket manually if you only want to
listen on the loopback interface, 'listen_local' does that already.
Here's a fully working example:
using GLib;
using Soup;
var serv = new Server (null);
serv.add_websocket_handler (null, null, null, (server, conn, path,
client) => {
conn.message.connect ((type, message) => {
// receive messages en responds ...
});
});
serv.listen_local(8080, 0);
new MainLoop ().run ();
Then connect to 'ws://localhost:8080/'.

Re: [Vala] How to override a "class closure for a signal"?
When you override a virtual signal, you only override its default
handler, so you don't specify 'signal' in the new method:
public class MyListBox : Gtk.ListBox
{
public override void set_focus_child (Widget? widget)
{
// override default handler here
}
}
Not sure here, but I think that if you define a signal without a
default handler, it is not possible to override it as it does not
exist.
There's also mechanism to stop signals from bubbling in GObject if that
can help you: http://www.valadate.org:8000/#!api=gobject-2.0/GLib.Signa
l However, I don't know how to fetch the signal id from Vala.

[Vala] New data API written in Vala
I thought it might interest some of you. We recently launched a data service built upon Valum, the micro- framework I've been working for quite a moment already. http://mirbooking.major.iric.ca/ It's alpha and the job API is still in progress, but it can give you a nice idea of what one can build with Vala. Here are the technologies backing the service: * libgda-5.0 with MySQL * SAGA-GLib (still in progress) * TORQUE and GXml for the SAGA backend * Swagger for the specification * JSON-API to format payloads using JSON-API-GLib * Bump for its really handy ResourcePool to manage Gda.Connection objects * Docker The data service will also be available in MessagePack as I am working on a Json.Node serializer.

Re: [Vala] Use rust [was: Seeking for Vala programmer]
I just want to state that I'm in perfect agreement with you Marcin. Rust might be a good system programming language, but it's clearly not ready for the needs of a product like RadioKit. Vala is a good language with incredible C binding capabilities and really nice set of semantics. It has direct access to GTK and GStreamer, unlike what you would have with GIR and pose reasonable overhead over GObject C. Rewritting a working codebase because of a language hype is silly, especially as it would result in a considerably lower utility. Yet, Rust is a really nice language with a bright future and I think it should inpire us putting some efforts on making Vala safer. Suit yourself, N.B. RadioKit looks really amazing and I really wish I could be part of it, but obligations forbids. Maybe Valum could be handy?

Re: [Vala] Extended floating types
It's possible to declare these types if you need to use them.
https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Vala/Manual/Attributes#FloatingType_Att
ribute
[CCode (has_type_id = false)]
[FloatingType (decimal = false, rank = 12, width = 128]
struct float128_t {}
Like Daniel said, Vala primitive types are mapped to GLib's type with
the GType system, so it's not really the language's fault if there is
no support for 128 bit floating points. It's not a common use case
either way.
With 'has_type_id = false', the compiler knows that there's no type
information to retreive.
Rank 12 does not really exist, but that would be the appropriate value
since 10 and 11 are for signed and unsigned 64 bit types.
It might be handy to have a VAPI for that in 'vala-extra-vapis'.

Use out parameters instead, they are known to work with async
functions.
Personally, I would suggest that you use GVariant for serialization.
APIs are here: http://valadoc.org/#!api=glib-2.0/GLib.Variant
There is an example here using VariantBuilder and VariantIter http://va
ladoc.org/#!api=glib-2.0/GLib.VariantIter
Basically, an async method in Vala is a GSimpleAsyncResult that run in
a background thread (see GIO thread pool), so you don't really need to
work with threads here.
You could use Redis to save the states as it support binary storage or
store them in files.

You should read directly in the memory allocated for the 'Remote'
struct instead of using a temporary buffer. I think it's correct to
cast it to uint8[].
socket.receive ((uint8[]) remote);
remotes.append_val (remote);
However, your code is likely incorrect, because 'Socket.receive' states
that it will read up to 'buffer.length', so you may end with a partial
read.
You need to loop with an offset, something like:
size_t offset = 0;
while (offset < sizeof (Remote)
offset += socket.receive ((uint8[] remote) [offset:sizeof
(Remote) - offset]);
Unless you are doing something very specific, use SocketService, it has
a much simpler interface:
http://valadoc.org/#!api=gio-2.0/GLib.SocketService
The SocketConnection is an IOStream, so you have access to
input_stream.read_all, which will perform a complete read for the
requested buffer size.

Re: [Vala] Need help in async methods
It's not possible block until an async method completes, because that
would block the method progress and defeat the initial purpose.
In particular, synchronous APIs are fully synchronous (unless threads
or inner loop are involved).
You can use the 'yield' keyword to call async methods synchronously:
public async void do_something ();
public async void do_something_2 ();
public async void do_everything () {
// everything is 'sequential' here
yield do_something ();
yield do_something_2 ();
}
public void main (string[] args) {
do_everything ();
new MainLoop ().run ();
return 0;
}

FastCGI relies on a blocking function call (namely 'accept') that is
triggered on incoming data. If you decide to delegate some processing
to the GMainLoop, it is likely to be called and block any form of
progress until a new request is received.
I have attempted to solve this issue by the past, but nothing
successful arose.
I think I can do something like:
- accept in a thread
- delegate further processing to the GMainLoop
It's important that actual request processing happen in the main
thread, because threading should be a choice left to the developer.
I am also working on wrapping fcgi.vapi in a more GIO-friendly way.
I suggest that you use SCGI for now if you plan to make use of
asynchronous programming, otherwise you can use the synchronous version
of 'send' http://valadoc.org/#!api=libsoup-2.4/Soup.Session.send

The following code:

Produces the following error:
error: incompatible types when assigning to type ‘GError * {alias
struct _GError *}’ from type ‘GIOErrorEnum {alias enum }’
_tmp9_ = g_io_error_from_errno (_tmp8_);
I have to use a dirty hack with GLib.Error and IOError.quark () to make

[Vala] Need some help writing examples for Valum
Hello everyone! I am about to release a first stable version of Valum (0.2.0) and I think that providing various examples would be neat. If you want to learn the tool, why not start with an example? Here's the issue: https://github.com/valum-framework/valum/issues/115 * Almanna is an ORM based on libgda * bump provides asynchronous primitives * libyaml-glib is human-readable JSON * redis-glib provides a GLib-layer over hiredis Redis client for key -value storage There's surely other topic to cover using an example, so if you have a good idea, don't hesitate! Also, if anyone could notify nemequ that there's pending PRs on his vala-extra-vapis GitHub repository, I think we would all appreciate full support for libmemcached and FastCGI binding. I tried (even IRC), just hope he's fine. I am currently using the framework to build a web service as part of my academic project. It's described in this blog post: http://arteymix.github.io/valum/2015/08/01/fourteenth-week-update.html It's a piece of cake to write ;) Regards, -- Guillaume Poirier-Morency guillaumepoiriermore...@gmail.com Étudiant au baccalauréat en Informatique à l'Université de Montréal Développeur d'application web Mon blog: https://arteymix.github.io Mon projet de coopérative: https://pittoresque.github.io Clé PGP: B1AD6EA5 signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ vala-list mailing list vala-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/vala-list

Re: [Vala] Generating JSON in Vala
It looks like an interesting approach to generate immuable JSON right from the Vala code. You should also look into GObject serialization, which is a real kicker. If you could generate an arbitrary Object with crafted runtime properties, your tool would be slightly more powerful. Json.gobject_serialize (new JSONObject (a, JVal.Int, 2)); You could omit the type with GLib.Value and use http://www.valadoc.org/#!api=gobject-2.0/GLib.Object.set_property the generate the properties.

Modules is just a pattern to simplify and decouple an application in reusable pieces, so I have never thought about hot plugging them. There is GModule or probably better, libpeas. The idea of being able to create loadable modules, for example for authorization, menus, pagination, etc., seems useful to me. The only idea of making loadable applications looks promising, especially as they could be embedded directly into a VSGI implementation rather than being compiled alongside. It might just allow us to implement live reloading. I do not think that Valum will ever support plugins if we try to keep it like a micro-framework. -framework/valum/blob/master/examples/app/main.gs ). The Genie example is broken...

The code will be hosted here: https://github.com/valum-framework/mustache-glib OK, seems like Valum is more web services focussed at the moment. Mustache seems interesting. Looks as thought some form of inheritance may be possible It's okay to focus on services for now and it is a field where Valum can perform very well. I firmly believe that a decent templating engines is all it takes to make a framework like Valum usable for web application development and Mustache can be that one. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7925931/can-mustache-templates-do -template-extension This is useful for the reasons: https://github.com/mustache/spec/pull/75 Thanks for the JSON examples, json-glib is really nicely done and GObject serialization is a real kicker feature.

The project is interesting. I like the idea of using GLib.Resource to server static resources ( h ttp://valum-framework.readthedocs.org/en/latest/recipes/static -resource.html ). This could potentially be a static content server at the edge of a web application. The idea raised a few questions. If a VAPI for libsass ( https://github.com/sass/libsass ), the compiled CSS pre-processor, was to be written would this integrate easily with Valum? It would be a nice workflow for development to change a SASS file and to have the resources re-compiled almost immediately. That will depend on the complexity of the code, but I am pretty sure that if it gets binded, I could write a Converter ( http://valadoc.org/#!api=gio-2.0/GLib.Converter) to compress a CSS stream. Resources can be bundled separately and loaded dynamically with https://developer.gnome.org/gio/unstable/GResource.html#g-resource-load , so it would be possible to change them at runtime. Is there a mechanism for modules to be swapped out at run-time? For example the updated static content module has been tested and passed in development then the module is uploaded to the server and is made immediately available using a mechanism such as inotify on Linux to get Valum to reload? Although I'm not sure of the possible security implications of this. Modules is just a pattern to simplify and decouple an application in reusable pieces, so I have never thought about hot plugging them. I note one of your examples uses Genie ( https://github.com/valum -framework/valum/blob/master/examples/app/main.gs ).This is good for me, but again I wondered how modular the framework is. I got the impression Valum modules ( http://valum-framework.readthedocs.org/en/latest/module.html ) were compiled into a single binary or are they loaded at run-time? The Genie example is broken... The framework uses what looks like request and response objects, which I think is pretty common. The docs mention middleware ( http:// valum-framework.readthedocs.org/en/latest/router.html#middleware ). Have you looked at the design process followed by the PHP Framework Interoperability Group HTTP Message interfaces that they recently released as PSR-7? Some useful links: https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-7 -http-message-meta.md https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-7 -http-message.mdhttps://mwop.net/blog/2015-05-18-psr-7 -accepted.htmlhttp://mtdowling.com/blog/2014/07/03/a-case-for-higher -level-php-streams/http://srcmvn.com/blog/2015/02/18/psr-7-and-the -future-of-php/http://dracony.org/replacing-controllers-with -middleware/https://mwop.net/blog/2015-01-08-on-http-middleware-and -psr-7.htmlhttps://mwop.net/blog/2015-01-26-psr-7-by-example.html There is a useful discussion on the use of streams and it now has a separate interface. Also the response object is immutable.It looks as though middleware is the way Valum intends to handle things like authorization. I am a bit familiar with PSR-7, but I will surely read it just to see what lacks in the request-response model. Middleware will serve many purposes and I like the design I have put on table. I have already a few prototypes and I will release them in the next minor release. Finally how flexible is CTPL as the templating engine? Jinja2 and Twig are commonly used with Python and PHP respectively. It looks as though node.js has plenty of npm modules implementing aspects of these. Does/will CTPL be able to provide such functionality in future or does Valum allow another templating engine to be swapped in? Templates typically follow the composite pattern ( https://tiles.apache.org/framework/tutorial/pattern.html ). Although the Scala Play framework takes an interesting approach ( https://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.2.x/ScalaTemplates ) that seems similar to CTPL at first glance. Is CTPL similar to Play templates? It would be nice to have an example of site/section/page in the docs for Valum. So a single template is used for the site, this includes a sub-template

My goal is to confirm the relevance of metrics measured in the generated C code to evaluate the quality of the sources. This is important considering the impressive amount of tools that have been developed to measure the quality of C/C++ sources. By the same time, I also want to provide an empirical model that would allow transformations of the measured metrics into significative measures for the sources. For example we could be interested into knowing the relationship between the size of input and output of valac or the impact on the cyclomatic complexity. Therefore, I am interested in projects of all size written in Vala that generates C code during the build process. It would also be great to have indications on how the sources are structured and how I can extract them.

[Vala] Research project on the Vala compiler
Hi everyone! I am conducting a small research project on the Vala compiler that would principally study how it affects different quality metrics (size, complexity, etc...) during the implementation step of the development. My goal is to confirm the relevance of metrics measured in the generated C code to evaluate the quality of the sources. This is important considering the impressive amount of tools that have been developed to measure the quality of C/C++ sources. By the same time, I also want to provide an empirical model that would allow transformations of the measured metrics into significative measures for the sources. For example we could be interested into knowing the relationship between the size of input and output of valac or the impact on the cyclomatic complexity. Therefore, I am interested in projects of all size written in Vala that generates C code during the build process. It would also be great to have indications on how the sources are structured and how I can extract them. Ex. cloc $(find src -name '*.vala') $(find build -name '*.c') Yet, I have these projects in mind: * vala 30 KLOC * valadoc 23.5 KLOC * gnome-pomodoro 4.6 KLOC I plan to use it as an empirical justification to setup a set of measurements to control the quality of Valum, a web micro-framework I will work on this summer. The results will be all released under a Creative Commons license.

[Vala] How does IOError.from_errno works?
I would like to convert errors coming from some bindings to appropriate IOError using errno codes. http://valadoc.org/#!api=gio-2.0/GLib.IOError.from_errno I have tried the following: throw IOError.from_errno (this.err.get_error ()); But I get the following complication error: src/vsgi/fastcgi.c:1170:10: erreur: incompatible types when assigning to type ‘struct GError *’ from type ‘GIOErrorEnum’ _tmp7_ = g_io_error_from_errno (_tmp6_); Is it a bug?

[Vala] How do I access command line arguments from a main block?
Simple question here! How can I access the CLI arguments from a main block? Is there something like a predefined variable? -- Guillaume Poirier-Morency guillaumepoiriermore...@gmail.com signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ vala-list mailing list vala-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/vala-list
Re: [Vala] How do I access command line arguments from a main block?
You missed the vala-list in CC in your answer, so I will just repeat
myself.
By 'main block', I meant the experimental main block feature. I am well
aware of how arguments are accessed usually, but I would like to know
how it is done it this particular case.
Take this as an example of main block:

Sure, just have a string[] argument.
public static int main (string[] args) {
return 0;
}

Vala translate your cast to a get_type function of your

ex:

Thanks for the answer!
That kind of code should be detected by Vala compiler as an
error.
What approach would you recommend to cast Value? to
Value ?
It's not that bad if it is not yet possible, but I would
really like to
build the whole projet with --enable-experimental-non-null ;)

Another of my concern on the matter..
assert_null (null);
Doesn't work very nicely. Is it because Vala has a defined null? like
Python has for None? and that function checks for a NULL pointer?
