02:42 <ZetItUp> hmm does cross compilers reverse the ! sign for pointers?

02:42 <ZetItUp> if(driver)

02:42 <ZetItUp> return;

02:43 <moon-child> what?

02:43 <ZetItUp> driver is a pointer

02:43 <ZetItUp> and it should be if(!driver) for null check?

02:43 <ZetItUp> but i need to write it like that for it to pass

02:43 <Mutabah> ... compiling for a different target shouldn't change the meaning of the code

02:43 <ZetItUp> it makes no sense i know :P

02:43 <ZetItUp> im just really confused right now

02:44 <Mutabah> likely you're hitting UB elsewhere that's manifesting around that check

02:44 <moon-child> the expression '!driver' will be truthy if driver is a null pointer. That is true irrespective of whether you use a cross compiler

02:45 <moon-child> try: kprintf("ptr %p\n", driver); if (whatever) { kprintf("branch %p\n"); return; }. And see if the results are other than you would expect

02:45 <moon-child> err, branch %p\n", driver

02:49 <ZetItUp> hmm if i reference the address of *driver it works the normal way

02:51 <ZetItUp> wait nvm it is working normally, im just being dumb

02:52 <ZetItUp> i thinik

02:52 <klange> If you really want a fun one, I had some code that was clearly skipping a null check, and I _did_ print out the value and it _was_ zero... turns out gcc actually was confused about an offsetof().

02:53 <ZetItUp> damn

03:03 <ZetItUp> you know what really helps?

03:04 <ZetItUp> if i initialize the driver pointer on the heap..

03:04 <ZetItUp> all sorted now :D

03:05 <Mutabah> :D

03:23 <ZetItUp> so im working on a device interface, i made a get_driver() function, but now im kinda question that decision, is there any situation where you would want that?

03:23 <ZetItUp> sounds kinda dangerous no?

05:05 <kingoffrance> eh, i try to expose everything i can for flexibility/power. "security" if i ever get there, will be later lol

05:05 <kingoffrance> i mean, i pseudo-oo, but you can either try to hide things from user or expose them

05:05 <kingoffrance> do you want users or programmers :)

05:06 <kingoffrance> unix: you want to rm -rf / ? ok.

05:07 <kingoffrance> who am i to judge?

20:32 <havingarest1> It's not that much of code is missing to make fascinating things to happen quickly, such code as usbip are all over the place. those days much is also solved quite professionally, package managements for everything i ended dropping rusts usbip in favor of peertalk anyhow. Some small lines just have to be hooked to right hotspots this is all there ever is, some wiseness needed.

20:32 <zid> hi mart

20:33 <gog> mew

20:44 <havingarest1> For me personally if i move a little back and forth i get some chakras open, and i tend to just ponder on some idea and understand quite easily that there is no very high amount enough of sanest ways to solve electrical issues like those, i.e i am actually not having so hard time there those days.

21:05 <havingarest1> You know men i am actually proud of what i have acheived despite quite a small amount of money in my posession even, many people helped me daily basis, and i came out of troubles as far as i analyse it today all the doors to me seem to be somewhat open, but current situation in the world i can not analyse, i have not been in china either so theories about overpopulation handling heard, i'd try to solve things without evil events, but at the same time

21:05 <havingarest1> i do not know if that is possible easily, build houses to islands look like needing strong people, go to mars same things maybe too complex stuff for or in shortterm plans.

21:11 <zid> Mutabah

21:31 <havingarest1> You think i am free to go now, without causing further pointless conflicts where i am seeming to be uninterested, i go over the registry and sum up what i did, and do my last mods on the oses, i hope you let me off the hook too, and there is no need for me to come back either.

21:38 <havingarest1> I've seen your servers being under some weird modes, or freenodes like som ddos things and read only shortly what happened to freenode, from christels blog, just belive me i do not know any of those people, for past twenty years, i've mostly been a loner having only regime setup to my current capabilities properly. emphasis of mine, though yes mom and many people have helped with daily activies too.

21:40 <havingarest1> cheers.

23:34 <Mutabah> zid: Sorry, was asleep
