unify memory printing functions #311

barter-simsum · 2023-03-24T18:16:10Z

Resolves #310

Minimally, I think we should keep the first commit (converting to base 2).

Wondering if the attempt to unify the interfaces/refactor was a waste of time though given how adhoc all the memory printing stuff feels -- so why improve it :-/

It does appear to work well though. Compare output of |mass, |pack, others that print memory, etc.

This is far easier to reason about. e.g. "what percentage of an 8GiB loom is full when |mass shows 4GB total usage?" -- well, it's less than 50%. You'll have to do the base10->base2 conversion yourself.

The interface is even simpler if we can get rid of the null file assert in _c3_printcap_mem_z. I think we might be able to, but not sure. See inline comment.

If we can get rid of this, all calls to c3_maid_w can just call c3_print_mem_w.

So the question is... when do we want a call to c3_print_mem_w to crash the process when the output file is null (rather than ignore the print). I would guess never

I welcome function renaming suggestions.

I think we should just keep the first commit, as you suggested. If we want to refactor in the future we can, but it doesn't seem like there's a compelling reason to refactor (unless I'm missing something).

There are some Form Feed (U+000C) characters interspersed here and in other places. We should get rid of them.

Form feed characters are good and make code easier to navigate

Oh ok, I just haven't seen them elsewhere in our codebase. Feel free to disregard.

They certainly might not be anywhere else, but I don't think they hurt.

and fyi, I mainly put them here to bracket the pairs of macros which function more as single logical units. I also don't mind their usage to page code into logical sections with header comments

barter-simsum · 2023-03-28T19:30:21Z

the compelling reason is getting rid of code duplication

-- but perhaps that isn't sufficiently compelling.

I would also prefer a basic logging interface and this is a step towards that. For instance, fprintfing to stderr, remembering to include the __LINE__ macro and __func__, __FILE__ etc is cumbersome

barter-simsum · 2023-03-28T19:56:15Z

There is one semantic change which is that when running say |mass, 0 sized stuff will get printed, but I think this is preferable to not printing.

It would certainly be odd if, for instance ls -l didn't print newly touched files.

matthew-levan · 2023-03-28T20:33:34Z

I'm happy to approve a PR with just the first commit to start. Then we can open another one for a refactor. Does that sound good?

eh I say we just leave it around a little longer. The first commit isn't exactly an urgent fix, so I don't see any advantage to getting that in first.
