@Shaggy exactly

@Dada Tricky! Might actually make for an interesting challenge here.

is it ok to edit someone's challenge to help them get off of hold?

@Dada Only I'm on m'phone, in a boozer, at the end of me working week; I'd love to take a stab at this.

Anyyone have sandbox link?

@Shaggy yes

well that was easy

Wow, it was a while ago when I got that

@HelkaHomba Will you help me get good at writing challenges? You appear to be very god at it

@Downgoat You're the main man on the userscript, aren't you?

Downgoat = userscript

I'm supposed to be but @ETHproductions probably is mantaining it more than me :P

Dowgoat is not a user, he is a userscript...

Rejected!

Crap. My link contains language in the book. (Too late to edit) read at own will

@Downgoat Grand; I'll mention it to him as well, but it was mentioned to me that ye might be interested in me coding up this bookmarlet properly for the userscript.

@Shaggy Thanks, but @JAtkin has a "Challenges of the Day" box on the userscript which allows the user to select some tags and it'll bring up some random questions they can answer, that seems pretty similar imo, unless I'm misunderstanding.

@ASCII-only wait looks like swift has really nice tool for AST debugging et al. so I will figure out how swift work and copy paste for VSL

The title of this question...

Poll: VSL Scoping?

what is JS-style scoping

@ASCII-only What was the error message?

@TuxCopter how JS does scoping w/ closure. e.g.:

function goat() {
    var a = 1;
    if (true) {
        var b = 2:
    }
    console.log(b); // get 2
}

Oh

@Adám like 3 of the executables couldn't be found

@ASCII-only I think it's because you use windows :P

@Downgoat but mslkc is by ms

@ASCII-only many sheep lack kindness & compassion?

Holy crap. Bytecode Golf applied to an extreme in video and music.

And the source code.

ಠ_ಠ

It's 1AM I can't use votes that fast wait 11PM UTC

@mınxomaτ What is git-rest? I was looking for alwsl when I ran across it listed on your organizations, but it doesn't appear to be a valid link on github?

@Downgoat most

I just overtook Martin and became the top VLQ reviewer. \o/

Always strive for high quality reviews. >_>

becoming a top reviewer really doesn't depend on reviewing quickly (unless the queue reaches size 2)

it depends on getting to the review queue quickly once the review becomes available

at that point you get a lot of time to actually do the review

@DJMcMayhem Seriously though, congrats! You out-reviewed me by a factor of 33.

yo

@DJMcMayhem :OOO that is amazing, congrats! :D

oh my gosh if you think GCC/Clang generates unreadable ASM you have never met swiftc

If you want the most readable machine code you should set the optimization to something like -O0.

This gets rid of pointless operations generated on the most naive setting, but witohut doing any crazy transformations.

IIRC clang actually generates LLVM code similar to gcc's machine code without any flags, where every variable is stored on the stack.

But if you add a low optimization level, then it will actually use LLVM registers.

yeah, swiftc by default does no optimizaiton

@feersum LLVM registers?

Like %r5 = add i32 %r4, 1.

r5 and r4 are registers.

Nothing like machinecode registers of course.

Have you read the LLVM manual at all or are you only going by reverse engineering other compilers?

@feersum oh, I thought those are called aliases

@VoteToClose also really good is the 64kb category winner: youtube.com/watch?v=JZ6ZzJeWgpY

@feersum I've read about 37% of manual

I'm not really familiar with it's more complex aspects though such as GC and reflection features

"reflecetin"?

Me neither, I have really only used it to write C so far...

@feersum do you know if sext signed extension or unsigned extension?

it's probably short for "sign extend"; zero-extend functions normally have a z in their name somewhere

I don't know for certain, though

Pro tip: it's very easy to find this in teh manual.

@feersum manual says zest is signed but it make more sense for sext to be signed so now I'm confuse

"zest"?

I'm pretty sure that's not a real thing...

Nope, it isn't.

Bro what manual you reading

Juicero manual?

@feersum llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html#zext-to-instruction

@Downgoat that's zext

I don't care

:P

zext = zero-extend

Hm, that left-extends though

I would need a right extend for a downcast

wait what downcast = 64 to 32?

"right extend?"

I suppose that would be left shift.

And as expected, zext documentation states that it zero extends.

So I don't know what the confusion is.
