Rosetta Code task/Find unimplemented tasks

Hi,
As part of my Ada learning I’ve decided to have a look at the Rossetta Code tasks, mentioned on the ada-lang.io “Projects to work on” list. I’ve made a fix to the “Find unimplemented tasks” program, a couple of changes in the XML had seemingly broken it. Now that it’s working you can see that there’s a whopping 425 tasks not coded in Ada, quite a bit of work to do here!!! It seems like a good place to come for some practice to me.

Now a question, in case any experts on Alire can help me: To work with it I dropped into a new Alire crate, it took me a bit of work to get it to compile. In my first attempt I initialised a new crate and dropped the program in the src dir. I then did an “alr with aws” and tried to build it. It failed with an error while linking (I’m using alire 2.0.1 on Windows 10, by the way):

Bind
[gprbind] awsres.bexch
[Ada] awsres.ali
Link
[link] awsres.adb
make[1]: Entering directory ‘/c/Users/jose_/AppData/Local/alire/cache/builds/aws_24.0.0_2b75fe6d/31b0bbcf12d7e2d20fc86acc68082713f9548776d81915a755f9fe0cf44f059b/tools/wsdl2aws-templates’

-r wsdl2aws_templates
-o …/…/.build/x86_64-w64-mingw32/common/src
*.tad[sb] *.macros
AWSRes - Resource Creator v1.3

I couldn’t see what might be wrong so I tried another approach. I started again with a new create, dropped the program in it again. Then did an “alr get aws” and built it on its own without any trouble. Went back to my crate, did an “alr with aws --use=…\aws_XXX” to have it pinned and that got it to build. Not sure what was wrong on the first attempt.

Many thanks for any help.

Best regards,
Alexis.

Hola Alexis!

it is very very nice that you are learning Ada and during the process helping fill in holes and missing bits!

Regarding the “error” that you posted, I cannot see were it fails. It seems that the build process calls the AWSRes program, but the exact error is not show in the following code you posted:

make[1]: Entering directory ‘/c/Users/jose_/AppData/Local/alire/cache/builds/aws_24.0.0_2b75fe6d/31b0bbcf12d7e2d20fc86acc68082713f9548776d81915a755f9fe0cf44f059b/tools/wsdl2aws-templates’

*.tad[sb] *.macros
AWSRes - Resource Creator v1.3

(Btw, you can use three backtiks “`” to open a code block and another three to close it).

Sadly, beyond my basic observation, I cannot really help you further… I also do not use Alire on Windows, so I cannot test it myself.

Thank you for your post and be very welcomed! Best regards,
Fer

P.S: as a beginner, your feedback is very useful, so feel free to share it with your opinions!

P.P.S: and in case you happen to speak Spanish, you may be interested in the Ada-Spain “Jornada técnica” which will be taking place this Friday. More info can be found in this forum post

Hi Alexis;

There are quite a few “completed” Rosetta Code Tasks written in Ada which no longer compile, most due to Ada package availability or changes to the packages. If you could fix some of the ones that are already written, but not quite right (“bit rot”?), it might help you with the Tasks not yet implemented.

Looking forward to your contribution!

Hi Fer,

Thanks for your feedback and the tips! I think I’ll try to replicate the error and take it to the Alire forum on Gitter better.

I’m a Spanish speaker, living in Madrid now. I know about the “Jornada técnica” and I’d love to attend but sadly (really not so much :slight_smile: I’m “de puente” this week and I won’t be able to attend. I’ll definitely try to attend the next ones, and the Monthly Meetups too, whenever possible.

Thank you very much.

Best regards,
Alexis.

Hi Ret,

Thanks for the advice, I’ll be having a go at trying out the existing ones too. I’ll try them out on Alire and share that experience too.

Thanks a lot!

Best regards,
Alexis.

I built the program with Alire 2.0.1 using these commands:

alr init not_coded
cd not_coded
# Paste the program in src/not_coded.adb
alr with aws
alr with xmlada
alr with gnatcoll
alr build

The dependencies result in:

Dependencies (direct):
   aws^24.0.0
   gnatcoll^24.0.0
   xmlada^24.0.0

Might it be a Windows issue? I tried the same sequence, the resulting dependencies were:

Dependencies (direct):
   aws^24.0.0
   gnatcoll^24.0.0
   xmlada^24.0.0

Then

alr build

Again the build failed, here’s the full log:

The error does seem to be generated by awsres while trying to create s-main.tadb… I would assume this is an AWS error and not Alire’s or the toolchain’s…

If someone else could test it it would be nice…

HI All;

I have successfully completed this exercise!!

I followed the instructions [mgrojo] provided with a brand new Alire built from source and using the new Ada 14.1 Ada compiler (thanks Simon!) on a Mac with M1 chip (aarch64).

This is my first successful Alire project!

Thanks, Alire team!

I tried with Windows 10 and Alire 1.2.2 (I have not updated Alire yet).
The dependencies are

   aws^23.0.0
   gnatcoll^23.0.0
   xmlada^23.0.0

GNAT version is 12.2.1

The compilation failed with surprising linking errors :

This page says that it’s autogenerated and updates every 15 minutes or less. I implemented one of the simpler tasks (Arithmetic-geometric mean/Calculate Pi) in Ada on May 15. If I am not logged in, this page still indicates that it is an unimplemented task today, May 18. If I log in, it does not appear in the list of unimplemented tasks. Why does being logged in affect the tasks in the list?

Maybe there is an approval process that hasn’t happened yet?

I just checked the Rosetta Code page, your implementation is listed now.

Edit: weird if not showing.

Oh no it isn’t :slightly_frowning_face: (UK, 2024-05-19, 08:18 GMT+1)

It’s a Schrodinger’s task (both implemented and unimplemented), at 11:28 GMT+1

The thing is that if I alr get aws and alr build separately it builds the aws crate fine. If I then go back to my not_coded crate and alr with aws --use=<path to the built aws crate> it then builds fine. It’s somewhat strange.

Best regards,
Alexis.

The phrase “this page” in my comment refers to the “Tasks not implemented in Ada” page. The task still appears on the “Tasks not implemented in Ada” page if I’m not logged in.

Mediawiki, the software behind Wikipedia and Rosetta Code, has a cache mechanism. According to its manual:

The file cache serves anonymous users only and they see the same HTML rendered. Logged-in users don’t benefit from this cache because their page contains user name, selected skin, etc.

Probably, in this case, the result of the script which is called by the page has been cached for anonymous users, and it is older than the latest page generation, which can be seen by the logged-in users. With the necessary time, we can assume the cache will be invalidated and the page refreshed for all users.

I’m not sure of this after reading further in the MediaWiki manual page I referenced. So maybe there is a bug there, either in the RosettaCode setup or in MediaWiki itself, because this kind of page should disable caching, since there is no general cache expiration date. Adding ?action=purge to the URL didn’t work either.

Hi Alexis,

Which task is this one? (I’d like to try it on a Mac)
