sizeof doesn't work for types that store Atomics. This would be useful to size the memory buffer for thread-safe memory allocators with what is left from the synchronization primitives.

import std/atomics

type
  Node = ptr object
    # works
    next: Atomic[pointer]

  MyChannel = object
    # type not defined completely
    back: Atomic[ptr int]

static:
  echo sizeof(N

The Khronos reference page contains description of parameters and description of the behavior for every function. Wouldn't it be possible to add doc comments for the functions, so IDE can show it? I understand the function description is a bit cumbersome, as one description is usually related to multiple functions with similar functionality, however parameters description would help a lot.

I have written some simple examples in Nimx, but it is not clear to me what kind of pattern to follow to create custom components. By this I mean:

• either a customization of an existing component (say, buttons with a different style)
• or some kind of new component that possibly does its own layout but includes other components (for instance a box containing multiple buttons, only one of whic

There are quite some settings tunable in rocksdb, see: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/wiki/RocksDB-Tuning-Guide

Of which we are recently changing one, see: status-im/nim-eth#85

It would be good to benchmark and investigate the impact of some of these settings.

Something similar was done for Parity: openethereum/openethereum@e114b0b

Hi,

You are defining a Color object, but Nim already defines a Color type in its standard library:
color.nim

Wouldn't using that instead of redefining the type be possible ?

Plus it would make working with Colors easier as the nim implementation has more features and that would avoid managing different types for the same

add nimble install fragments to this part of the readme
As a beginner I wasted an hour trying to figure out what did I do wrong, turns out it was just a package error

Similar to python's help() function, that'd be so good!

>>> help echo
"Writes and flushes the parameters to the standard output.[...]"

I don't know if this is possible with nim, I've asked here:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/61221599/nim-equivilant-to-pythons-help

I use official nim library https://github.com/nim-lang/sdl2/blob/master/src/sdl2/ttf.nim to create font textures.

In my config.nims I have

switch("passL", "-I/usr/include/SDL2")
switch("passL", "-L/usr/lib")
switch("passL", "-lSDL2")
switch("passL", "-lSDL2_image")
switch("passL", "-lSDL2_ttf")
switch("passL", "-lSDL2_mixer")

and it works fine so far.

In order to update https://bluenote10.github.io/NimData/nimdata.html I tried running build_docs.sh, but ran into the following Nim doc gen issues:

• nim-lang/Nim#6071
• nim-lang/Nim#8952
• nim-lang/Nim#9444

The following command is somewhat working, besides the missing dochack.js and with the `git.c

Given this simple struct

struct GPU_Target
