jnthn morning o/ 09:27
nwc10 \o 09:30
MasterDuke aloha 09:33
brrt not yet everyone here 09:37
way way way back, when I did something for parrot, we had a parrot weekly meeting
timotimo did you see my appimages? 09:39
jnthn brrt: Do you think there'd be some value in some kind of scheduled MoarVM team meetups? 09:41
Raku is getting a steering committee, so maybe it would be a fitting time to do something here too. 09:42
nwc10 I don't know what I think about that part 09:43
timotimo having "meeting minutes" in some central place could be good to help me not forget what everybody is/was doing - but also i sometimes just completely forget what i was doing
jnthn Though I don't think we need anything so "heavyweight"; more just a committers get-together every so often
nwc10 but I will state that I felt that a key useful "innovation" of the parrot meeting ("parrotsketch") was to get people to type up their short reports *in advance* and then just paste them into IRC 09:44
this avoided delays
jnthn oh, yes, that's worth stealing :)
nwc10 this is only important if the plan involves reports
we failed to do this at work, but our meetings moved off IRC soon enough that I didn't push for it
jnthn Well, given what timotimo said they'd find useful, maybe it should :) It also, if published somewhere, is good communication that things are happening. 09:45
Anyway, I'm up for some kind of regular sync-up of what we're all doing, as well as an opportunity to discuss blockers/ideas/whatever. 09:46
brrt jnthn: yeah, I think something like that 09:47
I mean, the #moarvm community, such as it is, is fairly light-touch, that might be a good thing to presever
jnthn Yes; that's worked well for us, imo. 09:48
brrt but I do agree that a sense of 'what is happening' would be nice, too 09:50
jnthn So maybe we pick an interval, a time, and simply say all those with a commit bit are welcome? Then everyone can pre-submit a "what I've been doing" and perhaps "things I'd like to discuss". 09:52
And then we see if it's useful and course-correct it as we go.
brrt ++ from me. (now let's bikeshed about the time) 09:54
MasterDuke in this channel? or using some sort of virtual meeting thing? 09:55
jnthn If we had a dedicated channel for it we can have it logged and that solves minutes? I'm open to other suggestions.
timotimo that's a good idea 09:58
jnthn OK, so: interval, time :) 10:10
nwc10 well, "morning", obviosly 10:12
timotimo let's not forget finding a good pun for the channel name
nwc10 "morning virtual meeting" is a bit long
timotimo Meeting Of All Relevant Virtual Members 10:14
not finding a good word for the V
nwc10 that's more a backronym than a pun. Actually, as was mine 10:15

MasterDuke i just removed the `rounds` parameter from `nqp::isprime_I` (and the various places in moarvm and ran tools/update_ops.p6) and nqp segfaults in `MVM_cu_string` when calling `nqp::isprime_I`. it's trying to index 3670016 into the string heap, when num_strings is only 255 12:16
12:17 ggoebel joined
MasterDuke this seems like the sort of thing that would have happened if i hadn't run tools/update_ops.p6 12:18

Geth MoarVM: b243d01789 | (Patrick Bƶker)++ | src/io/fileops.c
Fix MVM_file_isexecutable() when being root

Different from the readability and writeability tests, executability is not affected by the user being root. As long as the `x` flag isn't set, not even root can execute a file.
Fixes Raku/nqp#652
12:24
linkable6 NQP#652 [closed]: github.com/Raku/nqp/issues/652 `fileexecutable` returns incorrect value in Linux systems (Alpine, Debian) when the user is root.
Geth MoarVM: 96d32a1ad8 | (Patrick Bƶker)++ | src/io/fileops.c
Don't duplicate file existence checks

When calling `uv_fs_stat()` it's possible to determine whether the file is missing by looking at the return code. So there is no need to check that beforehand. Doing it with a single `uv_fs_stat()` call also prevents a race condition.

copy_to should call MVM_gc_write_barrier with the *new* key's address.

This is a regression introduced since the last release by commit 9d0f1b326d8d:
   Replace MVM_str_hash_bind_nt with MVM_str_hash_insert_nt.

MasterDuke what the current diff looks like if anyone is curious gist.github.com/MasterDuke17/70bd6...c4f87db8f1
and i did a couple rounds of make && make m-bootstrap-files && make just to see if that was it, no change 12:39

sparc32 does not support unaligned 32 bit reads or writes.

Our bytecode is 2-byte aligned, but we need to read 4-byte values. sparc will SIGBUS if asked to perform a misaligned read.
We also need to add the same hack as s390 to get a definition of AO_fetch_compare_and_swap_full ... (9 more lines)
MoarVM: 0772199939 | (Nicholas Clark)++ | src/6model/reprs/P6opaque.c
Correctly align object references (ie pointers) in P6opaque object bodies.

Previously these were written at whatever offset the composer happened to be at, which meant that some were only 4-byte aligned. On systems with 8-byte pointers which care strictly about alignment, these leads to SIGBUS.
This is sufficient to get MoarVM, NQP and most Rakudo tests working on sparc64.

Merge pull request #1343 from MoarVM/sparc

sparc64 support
jnthn MasterDuke: Did you update interp.c? Does it calculate the next instruction offset correctly? 12:41
MasterDuke argh! i did update it, but not the offset calculation
and of course that makes perfect sense
jnthn :) 12:42
MasterDuke yep, nqp is good now 12:43
jnthn :)
I'll return to the spesh candidate thing some time, but I'm not sure I'm feeling any more clever today than I was yesterday...
Plus quite keen to get a bit of work in on new-disp, at last...
MasterDuke i'm all stuffed up and blowing my nose every 2-3min, in no shape for anything complicated either 12:44
jnthn I slept badly on Sunday night. Much better last night, but it seems that doesn't quite make up for it... 12:46
MasterDuke i thought simply removing a parameter from an op would be within reach, but we see where that ended up...

brrt I've started seriously considering buying an apple if they do follow through with the their apple laptops 12:50
jnthn Considering buying one, or not buying one? :) 12:51
What the heck, I just build new-disp without any asan stuff turned on and somehow it ends up building it as if I passed --asan... 12:56
Build leftovers I guess
brrt considering buying one. 13:22
I haven't bought one ever
yet 13:23

[Coke] They are shiny. 13:35
timotimo you're interested in apple's own "silicon"?
brrt I'm interested in the arm64 yes 14:19
looks quite promising

Kaiepi how do you guys debug c on windows? 14:59
timotimo first step, move over to linux
just kidding. i hear msvcpp is very good?
Kaiepi not an option in this case :(
timotimo vscode and qt creator also have GDB front-ends
Kaiepi re linux
ahhh 15:00
didn't realize vscode came with that
perfect
timotimo oh
right, it doesn't come with it
there's a c and cpp development plugin from microsoft that i have installed 15:01
Kaiepi i have it fsr 15:03
timotimo "for some reason"? 15:12
Kaiepi yeah 15:13
