<CaptainLex>Afternoon Guilers!

<dsmith>Hey hey

<CaptainLex>Evening Guilers

<mark_weaver>hi CaptainLex

<CaptainLex>Hello mark_weaver! How's things?

<mark_weaver>things are okay. you?

<CaptainLex>Same ol'

<LAMMJohnson>'evening, all.

<mark_weaver>hi LAMMJohnson

<LAMMJohnson>Can anybody recommend me a good guide to writing FFI extensions for guile?

<CaptainLex>hello LAMMJohnson!

<CaptainLex>I can't, but do want to greet you!

<LAMMJohnson>Friendly greetings almost as good in my books anyway.

<mark_weaver>well, there's the FFI section of the Guile manual. I don't know off hand of a tutorial.

<LAMMJohnson>I assumed manual. That's where I was going to go unless people had better recommendations.

<mark_weaver>also, don't hesitate to ask questions on #guile or the guile-user mailing list.

<mark_weaver>it might also be useful to look at the source code for some existing FFI wrapper, such as guile-sqlite3: https://gitorious.org/guile-sqlite3/guile-sqlite3/blobs/master/sqlite3.scm

<LAMMJohnson>OK, thanks. I'll be sure to say if I struggle with anything. The manual has been very good to me in the past, however.

<mark_weaver>okay, happy hacking!

<CaptainLex>What kind of project were you thinking?

<LAMMJohnson>mark_weaver: Cheers!

<LAMMJohnson>I didn't have anything in particular in mind. I've used guile to extend a few existing projects and I have a Scheme-loving friend constantly telling me I should strive to extend guile's FFI and work in that direction when possible.

<LAMMJohnson>I guess it would just be very nice to know I can wrap any arbitrary thing I like and work in delicious scheme in future.

<CaptainLex>Gotcha

<mark_weaver>The FFI is quite capable at this point. The hardest thing to deal with are complex C preprocessor macros.

<mark_weaver>Perhaps the most complex FFI wrapping effort so far is guile-figl, which can already do quite a lot. https://gitorious.org/guile-figl

<mark_weaver>there's not a single line of C code in guile-figl.

<CaptainLex>Morning Guilers!

<ijp>afternoon

<taylanub>I wonder, what is the relation between Guile's implementation of Elisp, and the current guilemacs implementation which embeds libguile into Emacs ?..

<CaptainLex>taylanub: I wonder this myself

<taylanub>Possibly there's some duplication of effort, although I'm guessing the two approaches will merge somehow ..

<dsmith>bipt, Care to clarify for taylanub ?

<wingo>evening

<ijp>evening

*wingo finally writing symbol tables in wip-rtl

<ijp>wonderful

<dsmith>wingo, Cool.

<wingo>heya civodul

<civodul>hey wingo

***davexuni` is now known as davexunit

<fbs>hmm

<CaptainLex>hmmmmmm

<fbs>ERROR: Throw to key `gnutls-error' with args `(#<gnutls-error-enum The Diffie-Hellman prime sent by the server is not acceptable (not long enough).> handshake)'

<fbs>:<

<civodul>never seen that one

<civodul>maybe there's a tweak to ask GnuTLS to be more lax?

<fbs>it should be set to 65536, could connect to a diff irc server where weechat usually bitches about the dhprime

<fbs>hmm guess i could read the weechat source and find out how they do it

<fbs>hmm

<civodul>dunno

<fbs>this is something

<fbs>*poof*

<fbs>,hello

<bot_122>hello master!

<fbs>civodul: lol In the client side it sets the minimum accepted number of bits. I
