14:06:53 <Mat2> hello
14:15:03 <Mat2> tangentstorm: I will update my repro tomorrow after work because I've found an even faster interpretation method which want to be implemented
14:31:17 <tangentstorm> :)
14:34:09 <Mat2> interesting, this one can't be implemented in C
14:38:03 <tangentstorm> oh?
14:41:03 <Mat2> yes, C compiler do not support continuation passing style (but Pascal does)
14:42:03 <tangentstorm> what, like with goto?
14:42:56 <Mat2> ihttps://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuation-passing_style
14:43:56 <Mat2> it's an optimization technique typical used by compiler for functional programming languages
14:44:34 <tangentstorm> but how do you do it in pascal?
14:46:03 <tangentstorm> i guess i'll find out next time i see your code ;)
14:46:14 <Mat2> simple, defining procedures with pragma nostackframe .D
14:46:33 <Mat2> that's all needed
14:46:36 <tangentstorm> oh
14:46:39 <tangentstorm> :)
14:46:40 <tangentstorm> interesting
14:47:58 <Mat2> PROCEDURE test (...) NOSTACKFRAME;
14:50:23 <tangentstorm> hrm
14:51:03 <tangentstorm> how does it know where to go on return from the procedure?
14:52:17 <Mat2> it don't
14:52:26 <tangentstorm> so it just crashes? :)
14:52:32 <tangentstorm> if you don't tell it i mean
14:53:18 <Mat2> it only works in CPS form because the compiler can change the call to the next function iteration to a jump
14:54:04 <Mat2> so only the first call create a stack frame
14:54:14 <tangentstorm> huh. and this actually works with fpc?
14:54:23 <Mat2> yes, perfectly
14:54:56 <tangentstorm> huh.
14:55:07 <tangentstorm> that's pretty cool :)
14:56:25 <Mat2> yes, good styled programming language :D
14:56:29 <tangentstorm> i've been thinking about how to implement python-style generators. this could come in handy.
14:57:06 <tangentstorm> i guess i need to learn how to read assembly language before too long
14:57:14 <tangentstorm> relearn :)
14:57:53 <Mat2> sorry, I don't know phyton beside it's Basic roots so what are phyton-style generators ?
14:58:13 <Mat2> ^its
15:10:06 <Mat2> it's after midnight here, see you tomorrow
15:10:08 <Mat2> ciao
