Hey everyone,
Just a quick rundown on what went down in Week 15.
The real grind this time was tackling those persistent linking issues in the C WAL implementation. Took me a while, but I managed to sort it out. Had to part ways with some macros in the sqlite3.c file to get things back on track. Sometimes you've got to sacrifice a few things to make progress.
Then there's Nim and the openArray[byte]
datatype, throwing me a curveball. No beating around the bush, had to deal with it directly as a parameter in a proc to get it playing nice with the merkle patricia trie sample. One of those weeks
Now, the ongoing saga with the ffi from C to Nim. Been using Nimterop, but it's been a bit of a headache. Dealing with a couple of clashes with variables, and progress has been slower than expected. It's a grind, to say the least.
So, Week 15 has been all about slogging through code, dealing with challenges, and finding some not-so-glamorous workarounds. On to the next set of hurdles.
