Failing to add better support for Nim

[lf-araujo]

Hi,

Current Nim support works but it is painfully slow in files longer than 20loc. I am trying to add support to the improved llvm backend. Well, Codi recognizes the output in the repl, but it does not seem to call CodiUpdatePost.

So here are last lines of current implementation:

[11:41:55.541652] <SNR>74_codi_handle_data[14]: Matched prompt
[11:41:56.775971] <SNR>74_codi_handle_data[9]: [DATA] 55 == type int
[11:41:56.777490] <SNR>74_codi_handle_data[9]: [DATA] nim> 
[11:41:56.778554] <SNR>74_codi_handle_data[14]: Matched prompt
[11:41:56.779706] <SNR>74_codi_handle_data[17]: All prompts received
[11:41:56.781799] <SNR>74_stop_job_for_buf[8]: Stopping job for buffer 10
[11:41:56.787800] <SNR>74_user_au[1]: Doing autocommand CodiUpdatePost

The new configuration:

      \ 'nim': {
          \ 'bin': ['/home/luis/Documents/OneDrive/Coding/Nim/nlvm/nlvm/nlvm', 'r'],
          \ 'prompt': '>>> ',
         \ 'quitcmd': 'quit()',
          \ },
      \ }

And the final lines of the log:

[11:45:34.174951] <SNR>74_codi_handle_data[9]: [DATA] >>> >>> 5
[11:45:34.176310] <SNR>74_codi_handle_data[14]: Matched prompt
[11:45:34.177829] <SNR>74_codi_handle_data[9]: [DATA] >>> >>> ... ... >>> 3
[11:45:34.179108] <SNR>74_codi_handle_data[14]: Matched prompt
[11:45:34.183366] <SNR>74_codi_handle_data[9]: [DATA] >>> >>> >>> ... ... ... ... ... >>> 55: int
[11:45:34.184598] <SNR>74_codi_handle_data[14]: Matched prompt
[11:45:34.185989] <SNR>74_codi_handle_data[9]: [DATA] >>> >>> 
[11:45:34.187331] <SNR>74_codi_handle_data[14]: Matched prompt

It seems Codi is updating with the matched prompts.

• Is anything else I could do to debug this?

It's been awhile since I've worked on Codi, so I unfortunately don't have a great answer 😢

However, I do think it may be worth checking the g:codi#raw option to help with debugging.

Thanks, will close this one and look into raw.
