Aug 25 12:52:33 <rohith> vmayoral imuguruza: Hi!
Aug 25 12:57:35 <imuguruza> hi rohith!
Aug 25 13:01:22 <rohith> GSoC seemed to end very quickly. Time flies!
Aug 25 13:07:44 <imuguruza> you're right
Aug 25 13:11:52 <rohith> imuguruza: Any developments on Erle Spider?
Aug 25 13:13:04 <imuguruza> still working on it ;)
Aug 25 13:13:22 <rohith> Nice!
Aug 25 14:36:21 <Abhishek__> morning.
Aug 25 14:39:28 <Abhishek__> hi jkridner|desktop
Aug 25 16:20:25 <nerdboy> moin
Aug 25 16:21:58 <azizulhakim> vvu: ping
Aug 25 16:40:19 <karki_> ds2 : are you doing the review for apaar?
Aug 25 16:42:27 <karki_> oh, and Abhishek__ congrats :)
Aug 25 16:43:23 <vvu> azizulhakim: pong
Aug 25 16:43:36 <vvu> so on your 7.4 debian which x window system did you have ?
Aug 25 16:43:41 <Abhishek__> thanks karki_ :)
Aug 25 16:45:02 <nerdboy> where are these reports going exactly?
Aug 25 16:45:24 <karki_> internal reference maybe
Aug 25 16:45:30 <nerdboy> email?
Aug 25 16:48:47 <azizulhakim> vvu: if I remember correctly, I installed xorg
Aug 25 16:49:01 <vvu> so you got the console version then installed xorg on it ?
Aug 25 16:49:08 <karki_> ##2. SWIG
Aug 25 16:49:08 <karki_> Simplified Wrapper and Interface Generator, or SWIG for short is aother way to interface C code to Python. In this method, the developer must develop an extra interface file which is an input to SWIG (the command line utility).
Aug 25 16:49:08 <karki_> Python developers generally don't use this method, because it is in most cases unnecessarily complex. This is a great method when you have a C/C++ code base, and you want to interface it to many different languages.
Aug 25 16:49:08 <karki_> Example from the SWIG website :
Aug 25 16:49:12 <karki_> The C code, `example.c` that has a variety of functions and variables
Aug 25 16:49:14 <karki_> ```c
Aug 25 16:49:16 <karki_>  #include <time.h>
Aug 25 16:49:18 <karki_>  double My_variable = 3.0;
Aug 25 16:49:21 <karki_>  
Aug 25 16:49:22 <karki_>  int fact(int n) {
Aug 25 16:49:24 <karki_>      if (n <= 1) return 1;
Aug 25 16:49:25 <azizulhakim> right vvu
Aug 25 16:49:26 <karki_>      else return n*fact(n-1);
Aug 25 16:49:28 <karki_>  }
Aug 25 16:49:32 <karki_>  
Aug 25 16:49:34 <karki_>  int my_mod(int x, int y) {
Aug 25 16:49:36 <karki_>      return (x%y);
Aug 25 16:49:38 <karki_>  }
Aug 25 16:49:38 <vvu> karki_: swig is bad :(
Aug 25 16:49:40 <karki_>  	
Aug 25 16:49:40 <Abhishek__> karki_: wanna pastebin?
Aug 25 16:49:42 <karki_>  char *get_time()
Aug 25 16:49:46 <karki_>  {
Aug 25 16:49:46 <karki_>      time_t ltime;
Aug 25 16:49:48 <karki_>      time(&ltime);
Aug 25 16:49:52 <karki_>      return ctime(&ltime);
Aug 25 16:49:52 <karki_>  }
Aug 25 16:49:54 <karki_> ```
Aug 25 16:49:56 <karki_> The interface file - this will remain the same irrespective of the language you want to port your C code to :
Aug 25 16:50:01 <karki_> ```
Aug 25 16:50:03 <karki_>  %module example
Aug 25 16:50:05 <karki_>  %{
Aug 25 16:50:07 <karki_>  /* Put header files here or function declarations like below */
Aug 25 16:50:09 <karki_>  extern double My_variable;
Aug 25 16:50:11 <karki_>  extern int fact(int n);
Aug 25 16:50:13 <karki_>  extern int my_mod(int x, int y);
Aug 25 16:50:15 <karki_>  extern char *get_time();
Aug 25 16:50:17 <karki_>  %}
Aug 25 16:50:19 <karki_>  
Aug 25 16:50:22 <karki_>  extern double My_variable;
Aug 25 16:50:23 <karki_>  extern int fact(int n);
Aug 25 16:50:25 <karki_>  extern int my_mod(int x, int y);
Aug 25 16:50:27 <karki_>  extern char *get_time();
Aug 25 16:50:31 <karki_> ```
Aug 25 16:50:33 <karki_> And now to compile it
Aug 25 16:50:35 <karki_> ```
Aug 25 16:50:37 <karki_> unix % swig -python example.i
Aug 25 16:50:39 <karki_> unix % gcc -c example.c example_wrap.c \
Aug 25 16:50:41 <karki_>         -I/usr/local/include/python2.1
Aug 25 16:50:43 <karki_> unix % ld -shared example.o example_wrap.o -o _example.so
Aug 25 16:50:45 <karki_> ```
Aug 25 16:50:47 <karki_> Finally, the Python output
Aug 25 16:50:49 <karki_> ```python
Aug 25 16:50:51 <karki_> >>> import example
Aug 25 16:50:53 <karki_> >>> example.fact(5)
Aug 25 16:50:55 <karki_> 120
Aug 25 16:50:57 <karki_> >>> example.my_mod(7,3)
Aug 25 16:51:01 <karki_> 1
Aug 25 16:51:03 <karki_> >>> example.get_time()
Aug 25 16:51:05 <karki_> 'Sun Feb 11 23:01:07 1996'
Aug 25 16:51:07 <karki_> >>>
Aug 25 16:51:09 <karki_> ```
Aug 25 16:51:12 <karki_> Abhishek__ : whats the prize money :D
Aug 25 16:51:13 <karki_> oops
Aug 25 16:51:16 <karki_> :')
Aug 25 16:51:19 <karki_> I gist
Aug 25 16:51:25 <karki_> vvu : I don't SWIG :D
Aug 25 16:51:25 <karki_> I was documenting some stuff - picked them out from the website, thats all
Aug 25 16:51:59 <nerdboy> swig is...  useful when it works...
Aug 25 16:52:10 <Abhishek__> karki_: http://hackaday.com/2015/08/24/10-best-product-finalists-announced/ , second para
Aug 25 16:52:27 <nerdboy> cython probably preferable these days
Aug 25 16:54:20 <karki_> so do you have to win to get the 100K or does everyone in the top 10 get it?
Aug 25 16:54:48 <Abhishek__> nope, have to win. This is winner takes all.
Aug 25 16:55:26 <karki_> nerdboy - cython is a completely different build (even different syntax). How stable is it though ?
Aug 25 16:55:55 <karki_> Abhishek__ : well at least yours looks like the best project out there :)
Aug 25 16:56:02 <karki_> *product
Aug 25 16:57:30 <nerdboy> i never said it was like swig, just an alternative
Aug 25 16:57:57 <nerdboy> they are different approaches to more-or-less the same problem
Aug 25 16:58:26 <nerdboy> and i would probably use cython for anything new
Aug 25 16:58:54 * nerdboy has an old/funky swig interface that should be abandoned...
Aug 25 17:02:23 <DiegoTc> _av500_: we should fill the evaluation after we get the final report of the students?
Aug 25 17:08:50 <nerdboy> if it's in the "submitted" state we should review it
Aug 25 17:09:01 <nerdboy> that would be my guess...
Aug 25 17:59:27 <jkridner|desktop>  congrats Abhishek__
Aug 25 19:33:48 <_av500_> DiegoTc: up to you
Aug 25 19:34:01 <DiegoTc> ok, thanks _av500_
Aug 25 19:34:29 <_av500_> if you are confident he is passing as you tracked his progress over the gsoc
Aug 25 19:34:35 <_av500_> then do it right away
Aug 25 19:34:55 <_av500_> if not, tell him to send his report NOW
Aug 25 19:42:05 <DiegoTc> it's option 1, but I have misunderstood the report
Aug 25 19:47:49 <nerdboy> are the final reports going to the same place(s) as weekly?
Aug 25 19:48:29 <nerdboy> oh nm, it's on melange...
Aug 26 00:19:54 <nerdboy> neemo: you got some last-minute stuff to push i hope?
Aug 26 00:20:34 <nerdboy> clock is ticking...  you're getting close to the edge...  down by the river...
Aug 26 00:21:08 * nerdboy apologizes for 70's prog lyrics reference
Aug 26 02:52:33 <vvu> azizulhakim: piroux
Aug 26 02:52:36 <vvu> ping
Aug 26 02:53:18 <azizulhakim> hello vvu
Aug 26 02:54:16 <vvu> how is it going ?
Aug 26 02:54:49 <azizulhakim> yepp. all good
Aug 26 02:55:01 <vvu> in what are you doing a phd ?
Aug 26 02:55:19 <azizulhakim> my area is system security
Aug 26 02:56:18 <azizulhakim> are you in US now?
Aug 26 02:56:22 <vvu> yep
Aug 26 02:56:27 <vvu> just arrived home from work
Aug 26 02:57:02 <vvu> lemme grab my bbb and test everything now that all dev is over
Aug 26 02:57:18 <azizulhakim> yeah sure
Aug 26 02:57:24 <vvu> nice that i can share my internet connection from pc to bbb
Aug 26 02:58:07 <azizulhakim> for my case i've to run same settings every time I restart bone :(
Aug 26 02:58:26 <azizulhakim> so you'll be here for a short term or long term?
Aug 26 02:59:08 <vvu> one more month
Aug 26 02:59:42 <azizulhakim> is it kind of internship?
Aug 26 02:59:54 <vvu> i`m here since june
