How to close a Logger

Hi all, I got a multi-threaded app, all threads have their own Logger using newRollingFileLogger as first action in the thread As I am using a DB, each night there is a Vacuum on the sqlite DB and I close all threads to be sure the GC could handle any possible things. Then I restart threads af

Wishlist: Ideal UI library for Nim

Things not to forget about Qt is that all Qt libs are not GPL/LGPL. Quite a lot of them are GPL only. And the commercial licence is quite costly for small company. So Qt is not that evident for any commercial software. MoreOver, Qt licensing has evolved in the past, and could so in the future.

How to make Nim more popular

Hi, I do not have any answer better that what have been told. But I use nim for about 2 years at my job for small to mid size projects. I think it could be better to focuss on points that can bother any dev or slow the process of creating softwares with NIM (which I find a great language): *

WriteLine end the line by \n Why not by \p (platform specific)

It is your opinion, but it could be understand as I don't care of Windows users (I stay polite). IMHO not a good message for a language that aims to be multi OS friendly. And there are a lot of (maybe bad) tools remaining used in the huge liste of Dos / Windows softwares still used by companies

WriteLine end the line by \n Why not by \p (platform specific)

Hi all, Not sure to be right but it seems that on Windows WriteLine end line by a n, which is not aligned with platform convention. May be it should be better to end by p which is platform specific, cn on Windows. May be I missed something and it is not the good function to write lines in a t

Thank you for the help, I will try this way.

@ggibson : I tried your code and with nim 1.4.6, ctrl_c_handler is not called, under Windows 10 I am not sure to be clear. So let's try to explain it another way: I have a web server in the main thread, that uses a sqllite db I need to create a thread as a background worker that do heavy work,

nim update & choosenim

No worry, just a miss of luck to be the one that experienced this issue, bit it gets fixed quickly, so that's ok. For production use, be able to do an update to the last stable version from an existing installation is a real need, because most of the time, that is what NIM users need to do, eve

nim update & choosenim

I've copied include/zconf.h include/zlib.h lib/libz.a and it seems to work again. Did try yet the compile part of my project but should work I will try it later. updating compiler within the same 1.4 version list is quite a big change, may be it could be better to postpone this type of update f

nim update & choosenim

OK, before my choosenim try, I've got all in C:\nim-1.4.0 now it seems that choosenim put things in C:\Users\xxx\\.choosenim\toolchains I will try to copy missing parts from older mingw install to C:\Users\xxx\\.choosenim\toolchains\mingw64, is it the right thing to do? I like a lot the languag

nim update & choosenim

I use NIM for some times now, and until now I do updates of NIM version "by hand" (Windows). I've tried once choosenim, which seems a great idea, but I did not get to make it work, so it was quicker for me to do the update manually. It could be very nice if there was a way to do a proper upgrad

setControlCHook

Hi, I use setControlCHook to handle the close of a sqlite db, after doing some logs about running time. I moved to Nim 1.4, and in the same time I add a thread to my code, in fact this is a web sever, but there is a background task that handle CPU demanding work (zip of thousands of file and s

global var & thread

Hi, I created a thread that needs to access global variable (specific dir path during init of the main thread). I marked the global var with {.threadvar.} at declaration. But in the created thread, the global var is empty at runtime. Do I need to re init this var in the created thread? If yes

unzip multipart zip file

Thank you, it works once files merged. I tested it under dos first > copy /b xxx.zip.001 + xxx.zip.002 + xxx.zip.003 + xxx.zip.004 xxx.zip then test the merge in nim, perhaps not the shortest way, but it works: var files: seq[string] for kind, path in walkDir "C:\\tmp\\testzip"

unzip multipart zip file

Hi all, I'd like to unzip some multiple zip files ( xxx.zip.001, xxx.zip.002, etc) that I've created using 7zip splitted in small file sizes. I am using the following code: for kind, path in walkDir "C:\\tmp\\testzip": if "zip.001" in path: echo path

string concat I don't understand

OK ok for splitting lines, but I though my issue was more about string concatenation. Does it mean there was a remaining c at the end of the string that made the concatenation behave that strange, replacing the string from the beginning???

string concat I don't understand

OK I will try this, but I've worked a lot with text files under windows and did massive use of split("\n") Run with Windows text files that was #13 #10 ended without any issue, but that was prior to nim 1.4

string concat I don't understand

Yes I saw strutils.splitLines recently reading the doc, did not remember to see it before, should I have to update old code to use it, is there a reason to prefer strutils.splitLines over split, which is not clear in the doc?

Dividing duration

I am on a 64 bits system (nim 1.4.0). If I undestood this thread, on 64 bits system int64 should be supported. Whatever the underlying system, it seems strange such behavior for basic type, that is used for Duration, so no direct operation on duration are possible, not that fun in real life. Re
