01:05 <FromGitter> <RespiteSage> Is there a `previous_def` for class methods? I'm trying to override `Enum.parse` for a particular enum, but only to parse more values than the default, so I don't want to duplicate it.

03:12 <FromGitter> <naqvis> no, you can't override class methods

03:15 <FromGitter> <naqvis> `previous_def` works on class methods as well

03:17 <FromGitter> <naqvis> ```code paste, see link``` [https://gitter.im/crystal-lang/crystal?at=61eb775d7842bd3ca95ad25f]

22:48 <Guest21> hello all. I have a question about macros. I am wanting to replace the string in my code with its integer object hash equivelent, but  I cant seem to figure out how to apply the method properly. Here is a example of what I am doing and where I want to apply the hash: https://play.crystal-lang.org/#/r/cnha

22:50 <Guest21> furthermore I would like to supply the crystal hasher with my own seed values for a specific purpose, so i dont think i can use any macro builtin for obtaining the hash of the object unless i can specify the hasher like i can with "a".hash(hasher).result where hasher = Crystal::Hasher(seed, seed)

22:51 <FromGitter> <Blacksmoke16> i dont see the point

22:51 <FromGitter> <Blacksmoke16> the value of your constants are already Int

22:51 <FromGitter> <Blacksmoke16> so just use the constant as both the key/value? but by then whats the point?

22:51 <Guest21> this is a reduced code example, there is much more happening that would confuse the code snippet

22:52 <Guest21> aka minimal example of the macro

22:56 <Guest21> i think the way to make this happen would be to use the run() macro expression passing the constants name as a string as well as the seed i want to use, then return the hash integer from the external script. but that seems a bit round about. i was hoping i could call .hash(hasher) on the macroid or something similar

22:58 <FromGitter> <Blacksmoke16> https://play.crystal-lang.org/#/r/cnhf ?

23:00 <Guest21> sorry, i specificcally wanted to replace {{const.stringify.downcase }} with its hash id at compile time, rather than using the stringify'd string of the constants name

23:00 <FromGitter> <Blacksmoke16> dont think that method exists on the ASTNode

23:01 <Guest21> yea, i took a quick look and didnt see anything like it either. wanted to see if anyone else had any clues

23:13 <Guest21> actually looks like running .hash on the stringify is what i wanted to do. thanks blacksmoke16

23:24 <FromGitter> <straight-shoota> Idk about that, how they do it. The thing is, Crystal doesn't do these optimizations, LLVM does. The Crystal compiler just passes everything to LLVM.
