coke realizes the main website never mentioned the hackathon. 03:57
coke fixes that oversight, belatedly. 04:03
cognominal notes that in regular Perl code interpolated in a regex, there is not much choice in the granularity of backracking. There is fail and that's it 04:05
or do I miss something?
eviltwin_b doesn't know but would assume "fail" should backtrack out of the clause containing the closure and trigger any alternatives. (which doesn't mean that's implemented, or that he's correct in his assumption) 04:15
04:16 gantrixx joined
coke realizes he meant to say that on #parrot, not #perl6 04:20
04:20 USER__ joined, coke left
eviltwin_b (you don't really need more granulatiry than that because you cn describe the rest in the regex surrounding the closure 04:22
cognominal well, I want to back out the alternation not the regex 04:27
eviltwin_b so presumably fail is not yet doing the right thing, if it's not doing that 04:28
or else the synopsis is being unclear; I read it as being like any other failure i.e. failing the current alternative

smash_ good afternoon 14:13
sjn Q: I got the impression somewhere that there's work being done on automatic translation between Perl6 and other languages (back and forth, I assume). Have I understood correctly? 14:14
xinming sjn: I think you mean compile perl 6 to other language. :-) 14:17
sjn: and the answer is yes, we can now compile perl 6 into perl 5, javascript, haskell...
sjn how about the other way around? (JS, P5, Haskell to P6) 14:20
xinming sjn: I think they need a compiler.. ;-) 14:33
sjn: did you ever meet a program which translates machine language in to c? or even into basic... 14:34
sjn AFAIK, they're called "decompilers" 14:36
xinming sjn: What I mean is just a direction.... If you have source, you can translate to other forms easily, So does javascript -> perl 6, the problem is at javascript compiler side. 14:39
sjn Can't name one though. They're kind of mythcal beasts to me :)
avar andara++ # yay 14:43
sjn was thinking "why limit translation to just one direction, when the community anyway is creating 'translation devices' (compilers) from scratch?"
andara avar: got it working here on my box :-D
avar andara++ # more yay 14:44
andara: I also want ponies, give me ponies!

andara avar : sure. how about pink flying elephants? 14:45
avar no, I hate those 14:47
xinming sjn: from your logic... You can "translate" asm in to C... Is that possible? yes, that's possible... but not now. 14:51
14:54 rodi joined
sjn xinming: Well, I was specifically interested in P6/Parrot/Pugs etc... asm<->C may be a lost cause, but I'm hoping *<->P6 isn't :) 15:04
xinming sjn: think about the problem when you replace P6 with C in your last word 15:05
sjn sure, that's difficult, but C isn't being designed and implemented as we speak. :) 15:06

anatolyv look in the end of S13, gaal
is that the as you were looking for? 15:27
Limbic_Region S02 also has a couple of .as(Bytes)
and .as(ArabicChars)
Limbic_Region thinks that's likely doc bugs though
gaal there used to be something called .as that did formatting. then it got renamed to .fmt to free .as for ascription. 15:28
anatolyv Limbic_Region: $foo.as(Bytes) is the same as $foo as Bytes same as infix:<as>($foo, Bytes)
gaal so thanks all.

anatolyv curiously enough, that misses the discussion in S13, Limbic_Region :) 15:30
what's the regexp for "as, provided 'method' is somewhere within 20 chars of it"?
Limbic_Region antolyv - guess you could have used word boundaries for as 15:33
15:35 mdiep joined 15:38 Eimi joined
gaal anatolyv: i don't know the answer, but two things you can do in Rules that you couldn't in regexps is reentrancy and "fail" from within a rule 15:44
well maybe you could in p5 re, but you'd need special robes and stuff 15:45
15:52 wolverian joined
anatolyv I keep wishing I remembered how to print a few lines of context for each match when grepping. I finally looked it up now. -B 3 -A 2 will print 3 lines before and 2 after. 15:53

dmq Is there a Perl6 regex pattern for doing relative backreferences? 20:27
20:28 zekvent joined
PerlJam dmq: what's a "relative backreferece"? 20:29
20:31 lisppaste3 joined 20:33 Aankhen`` joined
dmq well you have a pattern like /(foo)\1/ 20:37
thats an absolute back reference
now consider a pattern like $qr=/(foo)\-1/; as a hypothetical example. 20:38
so as written those two would be the same.
but consider something like /$qr$qr$qr/
the latter Would Just Work. The former pattern couldnt be used that way.
IOW, how do you embed pattern snippets containing backreferences without using some form of relative backreference. 20:39
PerlJam dmq: good question 20:42
dmq since i just posted a patch for doing the same for recursive patterns im thinking of how it should be done for backrefs. 20:43
so far the best ive come up with is (?\-1) 20:44
:-(
the other options was some kind of escape like \R-1 20:46
20:46 dduncan joined
dmq or \B-1 \B+1 20:46
or maybe \o1
PerlJam Well, in perl6 you'd access the "match structure" directly I think. If $/ is the match object, and $/[0] is $0 (same as $1 in perl5), $/[1] is $1, and so on, you'd probably just use $/[-1]. But I wonder if that loses the temporal aspect (or left-to-right-ness) in composition. 20:47
dmq er, but wouldnt those follow the same rules as to the difference between $1 and \1 in a pattern? 20:48
PerlJam perl6 doesn't have \1
dmq it doesnt? 20:49
[particle] nope, that's gone
PerlJam nope. You get your variables ($0 and friends) immediately.
dmq so how does it distinguish between "the contents of this matches nth buffer" and "the contents of the previous matches nth buffer"
for instance /($1)(\1)/ 20:50
PerlJam what do you mean by "previous match" exactly /
?
okay, the "previous match" is destroyed unless you've saved it somewhere.
dmq ..\perl -e"$_='foofoo'; /^(foo)/ and /($1)(\1)/ and print $2" 20:51
prints 'foo'.
so you dont have access to the previous matches result for the next pattern unless you copy it? 20:52
PerlJam I'm not definitive, but that's how I understand it.
It's easy enough to save things though. 20:54
IS this something you find yourself doing often?
dmq oh im not fussed. 20:55
im just trying to extend the perl5 syntax to do things that cant be done currently.
to a certain extent ive given up on using perl6 as a template since it is so utterly different from perl5. 20:56
PerlJam good plan :)
dmq But at the same time id prefer not introduce incompatibility if i can avoid it.
And of course i reckon some of the stuff ive come up against is worth consideration by Larry.
like being able to do an embedded qr// becomes much more powerful with relative backreferences. 20:57
PerlJam dmq: though, in this case you'd do well to emulate perl6 I think. Have a "virtual array" holds $1, $2, etc. and is available immediately. 20:58
dmq i dont freedom to do changes like that.
and we do do that i guess. 20:59
:-)
PerlJam Well, it's not like someone is going to be dependent upon this thing that you haven't invented yet :)
dmq no, but im certain people have not been able to do things they should have been able to do because of its absence
if only because i bumped into the issue myself. 21:00
[particle] wonders if C<<print $1 if 'foofoo' ~~ m/ ^ (foo) ::: ($0)($0) /> will do the trick 21:01
maybe ::: should be <commit> 21:03

ashleyb dmq: back from lunch... Hey I've already come across that problem of relative referencese. 22:00
for example I am trying to capture something in quotes like: 22:01
<tag arg1="doublequote" arg2='singlequote'>
and I need to match the quote marks
so I'll vote for this being a common thing. 22:02
the match for that previous tag would be something like: 22:03
dmq i figured i wasnt the only. 22:04
only one
the question is how to represent it tho.
ashleyb qr/arg1=("|')<-[$0]>+$0 arg2("|')<-[$1]>+$1/ 22:05
but that would, as you say be easier and more generalizable without the absolute references.
dmq lets hope you do a char class and not an alternation tho eh?
ashleyb alternation? 22:06
dmq Sorry, thats beside the point. Yes i agree its exactly this type of thing i had in mind.
well using perl5 syntax you wrote ("|') but youd be better off saying ["'] 22:07
ashleyb but that doesn't capture.
and that is perl6 syntax
dmq right, but even still youd be better off saying (["']) than saying ("|')
ashleyb ok
fiar
fair
dmq buts its a totaly distraction from the core point. sorry 22:08
:-)
ashleyb maybe the '$/[-1]'
is the best thing.
dmq yeah, something like that I would express like
er, well, never mind. you get it.
im not up to translating perl6 regexes to perl5 right now. 22:09
:-)
the syntax you propose might work in perl6, but i need a perl5 solution.
ashleyb use pugs::compiler::rule? 22:10
dmq im starting to think the best i can come up with is (?\-1)
ashleyb that's what I'm doing
dmq im working on extending the perl5 regex engine.
ashleyb ah
ok
dmq im just here for cross fertilization as it were. :- 22:11
)
cj poos on dmq 22:17
dmq er, wrong kind of fertilizer. :-) 22:19
its been suggested that a solution is to implement something like @/in perl5. 22:21

23:41 buetow joined 23:42 zekvent left
GeJ Since TimToady stated that there won't be The One Perl 6, but several implementations as long as they pass the official test suite. Those implementations will be bootstrappers like pugs is. correct? 23:43
nothingmuch GeJ: not necessarily 23:45
it's less "official" than you think, i suspect
but for perl to Not Suck™ it should be self hosting
GeJ hum, not sure to follow you. 23:46
23:46 cjeris left
[particle] perl 6 has features that make implementation much easier if it's self-hosting 23:47
GeJ I think I didn't grok the "self hosting" part. 23:48
nothingmuch well 23:49
perl 6 is supposed to be a good language for writing compilers and stuff like that
high expressiveness
good support for transformations
powerful data types
powerful control flow
one of the design checks is making sure that it can be cleanly implemented in itself 23:50
GeJ ok 23:51
but at some point there'll be the bootstrap issue. Hence the need of implementations like pugs. right? 23:52
