Been hard stucking on running the follow function as binary in Linux. It can run by mojo run .mojo just fine but it just can’t be executed as a binary … and the only error I got is in the title.

fn get_codewords(owned padded: List[Int]) -> List[Int]:
    var ecwords = List[Int](0)*64
    var values = List[Int]()

    for i in range(222):
        var temp: Int = (padded[i] + ecwords[0]) % 929
        for j in range(63, -1, -1):
            var val: Int = temp * EC_LV5[j] % 929
            var factor: Int = ecwords[64-j] if j > 0 else 0
            ecwords[63-j] = (factor + 929 - val) % 929

    return ecwords

    return ecwords

EC_LV5 is 64 bytes of error correction codewords ECL_LV5 = ListInt

Do you have any way of putting this in gdb at the moment? We can try to tease apart where things might be falling over

benny•3mo ago

what is the intended value of ecwords?

randomasiandudeOP•3mo ago

output value is correct . A list of 64 elements values from 0-929

sb•3mo ago

are you able to run any of this in GDB or some other debugger?

randomasiandudeOP•3mo ago

I’ve only tested in Ubuntu terminal and vscode

sora•3mo ago

Could you share the full script?

randomasiandudeOP•3mo ago

I can run the fn without any issue I couldn’t run it in binary execution form

sb•3mo ago

Yeah, can in the ubuntu VM/wsl can you install gdb?

randomasiandudeOP•3mo ago

Like ./test I’ll try right now Not VM not WSL Ubuntu OS I’ll provide result in few mins

I somehow fixed it by putting var ECL_V5 from outside of the fn into inside of the fn…. Still don’t know what’s the actual reason behind

sb•3mo ago

can you maybe add -g or something to the compiler flags? need debug symbols to diagnose

randomasiandudeOP•3mo ago

I discovered that if a variable is outside of the fn it should be defined as alias not var in order to make the binary work. If its defined as var the script can still run with mojo run

ModularBot•3mo ago

Congrats @randomasiandude, you just advanced to level 1!

randomasiandudeOP•3mo ago

Thank you for the gdb knowledge which I didn’t know 🙂 The issue was about defining global variables/constants as var vs. as alias . In my case it needs to be defined as alias for the binary to work As a dude from python took me a while to figure out. And still reading the variables scope thing

sb•3mo ago

interesting! weird that caused a segfault though? I forget if global vars are supported yet or not

Ryulord•3mo ago

they're not currently supported and the segfault on attempting to use one is a known bug. There probably should be a warning from the lsp and a mention in the 'sharp edges' page

randomasiandudeOP•3mo ago

Very True, especially for new comers from python.
