13:51:51  <Hirundo> Yexo: Could you take a look at http://pastebin.com/3JK2kGby ?
13:53:37  <Yexo> sure
13:53:55  <Hirundo> Basically, it's intended to add 'no skipping' as a third option, besides action 7/9
13:55:10  <Hirundo> Since a coding error would result in really hard-to-find bugs, I thought a quick review might be appropriate
14:07:13  <Yexo> you're missing one special case that I think the old code handled: (True, True, False), (False, True, True), (False, False, True)
14:07:30  <Yexo> you code inserts an action7 after the second action and need another action9 after the last action
14:07:43  <Yexo> while if you ignore the first action you can do with a single action9
14:08:03  <Yexo> basically "if length ==1 and not skip_needed()): start +=1; continue"
14:08:59  <Yexo> lines 23..25 in that pastebin
14:12:01  <Hirundo> true, will fix that
14:14:14  <Rubidium> what? I'm the author of the small airport preview sprite in opengfx+ airports? tss... it's just a cropped screenshot; if someone's the author of those graphics it's the one drawing the actual sprites, or even OpenTTD itself ;)
14:14:43  <Yexo> you did the work of cropping that screenshot :)
14:14:50  <Yexo> but I agree, that's a bit over the top
14:17:35  <Yexo> Hirundo: aside from that small issue, it looks fine
14:17:58  <Yexo> make sure to set action2 not only to "not skip_needed" but also disallow skip7 and skip9
14:18:18  <Hirundo> sure
14:18:30  <Hirundo> currently skip_needed, skip7 and skip9 are all false
14:19:19  <Hirundo> Change paste line 39 to "if any(new_opts) and not (skip_opts[0] and not new_opts[0]):" should do, right?
14:20:07  <Yexo> yes
14:20:33  <Yexo> or is that one "not" too many?
14:21:12  <Yexo> no, it's ok :)
14:24:38  *** andythenorth has left #openttdcoop.devzone
14:25:36  <Hirundo> The length == 0 is also handled correctly, but it could use a comment or two

15:30:59  <planetmaker> [17:26]	Yexo	[22:07:17] Hirundo: in switch-blocks, which syntax is preferred: "3: return 2;" or "3: 2;" <-- I prefer actually with return
15:31:06  <planetmaker> it makes it clear it's a return value
15:32:59  <Yexo> ok, so keep using that syntax
15:33:13  <Yexo> right now both are valid, but I think I'll disallow the syntax without return again
15:36:29  <planetmaker> I've not yet read all backlog, so if there's good reason for one or the other... :-)
15:36:48  <Yexo> spriteset references are now valid expressions
15:36:58  <Yexo> so "return some_spriteset;" currently works too
15:37:50  <planetmaker> oh, sweet
15:38:27  <Yexo> the question was about that: we allow it now, but do we actually want to allow that
15:38:46  <Yexo> or do we want to keep "return" for non-spritesets and without "return" for spritesets
15:38:58  <Yexo> to make it clear which of the two it is while glancing over the code
15:40:06  <Terkhen> keep "return" for non-spritesets and without "return" for spritesets <--- I prefer this too, IMO it makes the code more clear
15:40:30  <planetmaker> Might make sense to me, too. It's also as it was befor yesterday ;-)
15:41:03  <planetmaker> but mostly it makes it indeed clear what is a spriteset and what a callback return

18:12:30  <Yexo> we need more regression tests :p
18:20:39  <planetmaker> Yexo: is there a list of which things need regression tests?
18:20:58  <Yexo> everything that doesn't have one yet? :p
18:21:01  <Yexo> so not really
18:22:04  <Ammler> every project is one :-)
18:22:13  <Yexo> in a way, yes
18:24:08  <planetmaker> well, if I don't fall immediately asleep when I'm back in the hotel... I might have some look
20:31:33  <andythenorth> Yexo: tis a pity we can't mark a bananas release as 'test'
20:31:35  <andythenorth> :|
20:31:53  <Yexo> just upload to the forum first?
20:31:55  <andythenorth> would it be wrong to push the tag, announce in forums, but not put on bananas yet?
20:31:59  <andythenorth> oh same
20:32:08  <Yexo> there is already a tag pushed
20:32:23  <Yexo> 0.6.5-beta-3
20:32:26  <Yexo> you could upload that on the forum
20:32:42  <Yexo> if there are no bugs, push a new tag "0.6.5" and upload that to bananas
20:32:53  <andythenorth> ok
20:32:54  <andythenorth> lets do that
20:33:03  <andythenorth> it's building ok on cf?
20:33:17  <Yexo> yes
20:33:36  <Yexo> http://bundles.openttdcoop.org/firs/releases/0.6.5-beta-3/
20:33:38  <andythenorth> great
20:33:42  <andythenorth>  I can link that
20:33:54  <Yexo> I just made a slight mistake while creating the tag, so it's "beta-3" instead of "beta3"
20:34:21  <Ammler> andythenorth: make an additional bananas entry with different grfid, does that hurt?
20:34:30  <Terkhen> if it is tagged clearly as beta, IMO it is not a problem to put it at the forum thread but not on bananas :)
20:34:30  <andythenorth> yes, horribly
20:34:54  <andythenorth> changing the grfid defeats the point of this :)
20:35:19  <Ammler> this?
20:35:20  <Terkhen> Ammler: http://newgrf-specs.tt-wiki.net/wiki/Action14#GRF_version_.28.22INFO.22_-.3E_.22VRSN.22.29
20:35:21  <Webster> Title: Action14 - GRFSpecs (at newgrf-specs.tt-wiki.net)
20:35:41  <andythenorth> this = migrating FIRS 0.6.4 to nml with no new features ;)
20:35:45  <Ammler> Terkhen: you need another id to make a new bananas entry
20:36:01  * andythenorth will have a beer and then write a release announcement
20:36:13  <Ammler> and you need a new bananas entry if you want to have a testing release there
20:36:14  <Terkhen> what I'm trying to point is: if you lose savegame compatibility most people will not want to try it
20:37:26  <Ammler> well, I don't see how much you need it tested until you trust yourself :-P
20:38:07  <Yexo> Terkhen: I doubt that's true, as I really don't think many people will upgrade a grf version within a running game
20:38:10  <Yexo> given how hard that is
20:38:22  <Terkhen> isn't that done automatically?
20:38:31  <Yexo> only if the old grf is deleted
20:38:37  <Terkhen> oh, ok :P
20:38:43  <Yexo> and how many people are actually going to delete a tar file?
20:38:51  <Terkhen> Ammler: there is never enough testing :)
20:39:34  <Ammler> Terkhen: yes, but for community projects, you use community to test :-P
20:39:49  <Terkhen> that's the point of posting it to the forum thread, yes
20:40:05  <Ammler> there is no release without bananas
20:40:27  <Yexo> the final release will go there, just not the beta
20:40:30  <Terkhen> ^
20:40:44  <Ammler> yeah, it is up to you
20:41:17  <Ammler> you might get around a handful tester who will download from forum
20:41:19  <andythenorth> we are in a hurry to release 0.6.5 yes?
20:41:46  <Terkhen> I don't know, are we in a hurry? :P
20:41:53  <andythenorth> Yexo ?
20:41:55  <Yexo> I'll be going on holiday juli 7 for over a month
20:42:00  <Terkhen> then yes
20:42:01  <Terkhen> :P
20:42:10  <Yexo> so if you want any support from me converting firs trunk to nml, I'd say yes
20:42:19  <andythenorth> hokey dokey
20:42:31  * andythenorth doesn't understand the 'banans is community testing' case
20:42:34  <andythenorth> it's a nice theory
20:42:39  <andythenorth> but not sustainable
20:43:23  <andythenorth> what it actually means is 'releasing unfinished / broken newgrfs on an audience who mostly (a) don't care about helping test (b) don't have any way to provide feedback'
20:43:29  <andythenorth> reality beats theory imo
20:44:10  <Ammler> it is a pain to manually install newgrfs
20:44:17  <Ammler> also if you like to help testing,
20:44:33  <andythenorth> but there's no gain by making it easy to install a broken grf
20:45:06  <Ammler> of course no need to release it if you know it is broken
20:45:10  <Ammler> thought you need to test that
20:45:11  <andythenorth> I don't
20:45:17  <andythenorth> it needs testing
20:45:20  <Ammler> yep
20:45:30  <andythenorth> I can't solely test a large grf that might take two days to play a game
20:45:38  <andythenorth> with multiple possible edge cases
20:45:46  <Ammler> that is why you should release it on bananas
20:46:01  <andythenorth> no that is why I should *not* release it on banans
20:46:08  <Ammler> then you get people to test it, which play it in a way you don't know
20:46:11  <andythenorth> releasing untested code to a production system is very bad
20:46:25  <andythenorth> and releasing it to users who can't give feedback is just pointless
20:46:35  <Terkhen> the people interested enough in FIRS to know why 0.6.5-beta might have bugs and what kind of bugs are the ones that will check the forum thread anyways
20:46:39  <Ammler> well, we could give feedback
20:46:49  <Ammler> but we don't play it if need to manually install it
20:47:23  <Terkhen> then, once that most bugs are fixed, we can release 0.6.5 on bananas
20:47:32  <Terkhen> to find the really complicated ones :)
20:47:50  <Yexo> I doubt there will be any
20:47:59  <Yexo> most bugs will (in hindsight) be really obvious
20:48:34  <Ammler> well, you made the betas because there are no nightlies, I assume?
20:48:56  *** Lakie` has joined #openttdcoop.devzone
20:49:09  <Yexo> a bit, but a normal nightly wouldn't get the same amount of testing exposure as we want now
20:52:05  <Terkhen> I guess that small, well hidden bugs are unlikely because the conversion would then have bugs in a lot of similar parts instead

21:58:58  <Ammler> no prove me wrong :-P
21:59:04  <Ammler> now*
22:03:22  <Hirundo> Yexo: Could you explain to me, why r1465 was needed?
22:03:23  *** Lakie` has quit IRC
22:03:43  <Hirundo> (not reducing params before reducing a function call)
22:04:06  <Yexo> a spritegroup_ref with parameters is a functioncall first
22:04:13  <Yexo> since that is a general expression
22:04:31  <Yexo> in a switch-block we need to reduce such an expression to know whether it's a spritegroup_ref or not
22:04:47  <Yexo> while reducing we don't want to error out on the parameters, since we want to parse those later
22:04:58  <Yexo> the parameters could contain a label from the referenced spritegroup for example
22:05:13  <Yexo> but at the point of reducing the functioncall we don't know yet which spriteset that is, so we don't have those labels yet
22:05:31  <Hirundo> Are labels the only thing that breaks?
22:05:37  <Yexo> when we would reduce all parameters, it's throw an error and the functioncall would not be reduced to a spritegroup_ref
22:05:39  <Yexo> no, they are not
22:05:57  <Yexo> or maybe they are
22:06:27  <Yexo> actually no, in spritelayouts the varaction2 variables break it too
22:07:14  <Hirundo> Currently there's a problem with builtin functions, mostly the arguments are reduced to a constant in there
22:07:35  <Hirundo> However you have no access to the id_dicts in the caller scope
22:08:59  <Yexo> it's a bit of a mess now, yes
22:09:46  <Yexo> I have been thinking of removing the current behavior of the  "unknown_id_fatal" parameter to reduce and make it a recursive parameter instead
22:09:56  <Yexo> ie work on the given expression but also pass it to all subexpressions
22:10:33  <Yexo> that was the reason for r1471, to know when it's currently used
22:13:57  <Hirundo> Personally I'm more inclined to work the other way around, to make all identifiers known at the time of reducing
22:14:19  <Yexo> for spritegroup references that might be impossible
22:14:57  <Yexo> unless we make a special case for that in FunctionCall.reduce
22:15:33  <Hirundo> For the labels, you mean?
22:15:37  <Yexo> yes
22:16:36  <Hirundo> Yes, that'd be a special case since they are only defined in the scope of the referenced entity
22:17:07  <Hirundo> When I was working on that I already wondered whether that'd be a conceptual issue
22:22:32  <Yexo> make all identifiers known at the time of reducing <- if we can make that work, that'd certainly be the better approach
22:22:53  <Yexo> also in that case the unknown_id_fatal parameter should go
22:26:04  <Hirundo> Also, I think we should move away from having lots of separate dictionaries in various parts of the code
22:27:22  <Hirundo> Let's say the user defines a parameter max_speed, to use as value for that property
22:28:12  <Hirundo> Now if he wants to access this parameter in a switch block, he may not get quite the result he expects...
22:28:44  <Yexo> true
22:29:07  <Hirundo> I can see basically no valid use case to define the same identifier multiple times for different things, IMO we should error or at least warn on it
22:29:17  <Yexo> agreed
22:29:50  <Yexo> basically that means that we should warn on every user-defined name that clashes with a name in either global_constants or a variable name (in whatever feature)
22:31:57  <Hirundo> I'm not sure yet how to handle variables in this case
22:33:59  <Hirundo> They have to remain separate because they differ per-feature, but checking for them when registering identifiers might be best indeed
22:37:13  <Hirundo> goodnight
