I got a bunch of work done on the last-use analysis yesterday, but I didn't get around to documenting any of it. I'll try to be a little bit better at documenting my progress as I continue with the same task today.

I also have the meeting with Cosmin and the others at 15, should I prepare something for them?

Yesterday, I finished handling most of the AST constructs, including loops and ifs, and most memory/gpu operatings. The main thing that's left is the SegOp constructs. Let's take a stab at SegMap.

I was working on porting Cosmins old LastUse analysis, but it turns out that the lore thing is way too cumbersome to work with. Troels suggests creating a table of some kind, and use the first element of the pattern to uniquely identify each statement, instead of using the statement counter I was using previously.

After working on that for some time I now believe I have a functioning last-use analysis. Here's the output for psum.fut:

In particular, it correctly computes that resarr0_416 is last used on the line that creates x_430, meaning that the allocation for resarr0_416 is ready to be used when allocating mem_773. It doesn't really handle aliasing though, as apparent when I try to run it on my array_indexing.fut program.

It only works for KernelsMem, but it should be possible to extend it to more general lores, probably by using some custom type class.

I'll do this tomorrow.

I have problems sharing my screen in Zoom and Skype, so I've played around with using OBS Studio and obs-v4l2sink to allow me to create virtual cameras that I can then share my screen on. It works, but I haven't actually used it much, because, when not actually presenting anything in a zoom or skype meeting, my window is still small… Anyway, here's what I did to make OBS and v4l2sink work on my NixOS setup:

• Add obs-studio, obs-wlrobs and obs-v4l2sink to environment.systemPackages in /etc/nixos/configuration.nix.

• Add the following boot options in /etc/nixos/configuration.nix:

  # Modules and kernel conf for obs
  boot.extraModulePackages = with config.boot.kernelPackages; [ v4l2loopback ];
  boot.kernelModules = [ "v4l2loopback" ];
  boot.extraModprobeConfig = ''
    options v4l2loopback exclusive_caps=1 video_nr=9 card_label="obs"
  '';
  

• After rebuilding with `sudo nixos-rebuild switch`, I need to manually link wlrobs and v4l2sink into OBS' plugin directory:

ln -s `nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A obs-wlrobs --no-out-link`/share/obs/obs-plugins/wlrobs ~/.config/obs-studio/plugins/wlrobs
ln -s `nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A obs-v4l2sink --no-out-link`/share/obs/obs-plugins/v4l2sink ~/.config/obs-studio/plugins/v4l2sink

I'm not quite sure why that last part isn't being done by nixpkgs automatically, hopefully it'll be unnecessary at some point.

With that, you can start OBS studio, set up your scenes and set up v4l2sink in Tools -> V4l2sink (make sure it points to /dev/video9). In zoom, you should now be able to select the new virtual camera.
