00:00 araujo joined
wayland76 donri: Yes. There's also a way of pairing an action class with a grammar, and that may be a more useful way of doing things 00:01
donri i have yet to find information on what actions are supposed to be
also wondering, can grammars give you a parse tree automatically, e.g. based on which rules matched? 00:02
wayland76 Well, in this context, you have a grammar and a class, and when certain things are triggered in the grammar, it calls methods on the class 00:03
Yes
araujo hello
wayland76 Well, kind of. They give you a match object, which points at other match objects
You can call that a parse tree if you want
araujo: o/
donri depends what information match objects carry 00:04
00:04 Caliginous_ left
donri actions: ah. but i was thinking it could be useful to add methods directly that are not specifically actions for a running parse. perhaps you want to add a parse_from_foo method that gets a string from foo and calls the internal parse, etc. 00:05
00:07 japhb joined
wayland76 I'm pretty sure you can add methods to a grammar too 00:07
00:07 brunov left
wayland76 If not, you can make your own custom dialect of Perl 6 where that's possible :) 00:07
araujo hi wayland76 00:09
:)
donri STD.pm does it, although it's not using block syntax for the grammar, if now that matters (shouldn't, right?) 00:10
wayland76 That shouldn't matter 00:11
donri are grammars fundamentally PEGs, or is there a fundamental difference? 00:12
sorry for all the questions, i try to google but i find mostly basic usage syntax examples and the like 00:13
00:13 M_o_C left
wayland76 Keep in mind that I'm no expert (with the questions you're asking, TimToady is the expert) 00:14
Also, everything I know about PEGs comes from a skim over the Wikipedia article just then 00:16
Basically, their description sounds about right, but I don't understand enough of the nuances to be able to answer your question :)
donri aye :)

donri what is the motivation behind requiring <> around character classes? 01:41
01:41 bgs100 joined 01:50 sri_kraih_ joined
diakopter lambdabot had 3m-old msgs for me 01:51
TimToady donri: two reasons, mainly 01:52
first, we wanted to steal bare [...] for grouping without capturing, which I felt was more important
we have that in Perl 5, but it's really ugly: (?:...)
that's just [...] in p6 01:53
donri aha, [] is (?:)
TimToady second
character classes are getting to be "wronger" these days
it was already wrong in the age of Latin-1 to say [a-z]
donri i use (?:) *alot* in any regex machine. and character classes less so.
TimToady now that we have unicode
you should almost always be using a named character class like <alpha> 01:54
01:54 devin joined
TimToady so it was basically a matter of huffman coding the more common feature to use [...], and discouraging character classes by demoting them to <[...]> 01:54
on the other hand
it's also a feature 01:55
because it gives us a composition notation
<+[a..z]-[aeiou]> and such
01:55 sevvie joined
TimToady so you can build up character classes with set operations inside the <> 01:55
which wouldn't work outside as well, since + means something else there 01:56
donri i don't know compositions yet
TimToady basically, lets you rough in the set of characters, and then define exceptions or extensions to the character class
so things like <+alpha-vowels> become possible 01:57
anyway, that's why it's <[ a .. z ]> now
01:57 rdice left
TimToady note that ranges are now .. instead of - 01:57
since there's no reason to ever use .. it's obviously "meta" 01:58
and it's consistent with ranges elsewhere in Perl 6
also whitespace is allowed for clarity
so that's probably a longer answer than you wanted :) 01:59
but most of the design features of p6 have complicated answers like that, with multiple reasons contributing
because we almost never changed anything for a single reason
donri why is there no reason to use ..? 02:00
TimToady because a character class only needs each character listed once 02:03
if you were wanting to match . then there's no reason to add another .
so it's naturally out-of-band, as it were
unlike -, which you might actually want to match
anyway, S05 discusses a lot of this, if you're interested 02:04
decommuting &
donri oh, i thought you meant the actual range syntax 02:05
like, [az] would be the same as [a..z], which would surprise me 02:06
02:06 sri_kraih left, sri_kraih_ is now known as sri_kraih
donri TimToady: is a grammar more like a class or a role, or can i use it like either, or, uh. 02:10
02:21 rhr_ joined 02:28 justatheory left
wayland76 He's decommuted. That & means he's away from his keyboard 02:30

donri how is "temp $x" different from "my $x = $x"? 04:59
TimToady well, for one, the 2nd won't work, since $x is already redefined by the time it hits the = 05:10
wayland76 donri: Answer is in S02. Search for "temp " 05:11
(that's "temp" with a space after it)
TimToady and temp will change $x in whatever scope it already exists, while my $x makes a new $x in the current scope
wayland76 TimToady++ :)
TimToady (you'd have to say "my $x = OUTER::<$x>" or some such
but nobody implements temp yet, actually 05:12
donri ah. thanks for all your answers btw, people.
TimToady we've tended to move more to contextual variables from temp, because they're safer for threading
05:13 mrsaturn joined
TimToady though if you use temp on a context var, it actually declares a new var in the current scope, because that's how contextuals work 05:13
so "temp %*ENV;" for instance makes a local copy of the global environment, and anything in the current dynamic scope will see that %*ENV instead 05:14
05:14 mrsaturn left
TimToady whereas "my %*ENV;" would make a new environment with nothing in it, rather than copying in the outer environment 05:15
so "temp %*ENV" is more or less what every Unix process does

donri Although I have taken the form of Gaius Caligula, I am all men as I am no man and therefore I am a god! *throwing around random only-obscurely relevant quotes* 05:54
how close are PGE to perl 6 rules, and does rakudo use them so that regexes in rakudo are compiled not merely interpreted? 05:57

diakopter hrm
colomon donri: Not sure what you mean? How would you default my? 18:22
(Geez, I think perhaps I need to learn how to compress commits into one before pushing....)
donri "$x = foo" is automatically "my $x = foo"
colomon donri: But then how do you know whether $x was intended to be a new variable or an existing one? 18:23
donri didn't know that was relevant :P
wait, undeclare "$x = foo" is not meaningful in perl6? iirc in perl5 it is a global declaration? 18:24
vaguely recalling global in perl6 needs a * twigil 18:25
mberends donri: Perl 6 defaults to Perl 5's 'use strict', although in future the immediate execution mode will get a 'no strict'
colomon If you say "$x = foo" in Perl 5 it declares a global, yes. Though that is *highly* frowned upon today -- the widely used "use strict" forbids it.
But you couldn't default "$x = foo" to be a my declaration. It would make all sorts of common things ambiguous or just plain wrong. 18:26
donri immediate execution mode, is that -e? 18:27

donri just installed rakudo and parrot for the first time. :) 21:33
alester which link? 21:34
oh, i see
fixed 21:35

donri why does rakudo freeze on "my @L = 0..Inf", is it not supposed to be lazy? 21:43
or is it because i'm in the interpreted shell where it wants to print the list or something 21:44
mberends donri: laziness is Not Yet Implemented
donri aha
21:45 alester left
__ash__ mberends i know it works with a class, but it _should_ work with roles too, but there is a problem with how it pun's the role into an object, or thats what I have been lead to believe 21:45
mberends __ash__, you're probably right. this is the sort of thing jnthn++ usually takes care of 21:47
__ash__ he's the one that told me it was a problem with how its punned 21:48

frettled good evening, mberends :D
mberends is hacking a (broken) installed-modules branch of proto 21:53
frettled is doing nothing useful, just browsing websites for possible euroshopping of bicycle and/or parts -- I'll be visiting Abigail in a week. 21:54

donri is perl6 intended to have open classes? 21:55
frettled Open classes -- as in everything being public by default? If so, no. 21:56
You have to specify whether something is public.
donri i mean, you can reopen an existing class to add methods and whatnot to it
mberends the 'augments' keyword allows you to add more to a class definition. The old syntax was 'is also' and has not been replaced in Rakudo afaik 21:57
donri rakudo: class Test {} class Test { method foo() { return "ok!" } } Test.new.foo
p6eval rakudo 446d49: OUTPUT«Confused at line 2, near "class Test"␤in Main (src/gen_setting.pm:3469)␤» 21:58
mberends Less Than Awesome error message :/
donri how do you use augments(is also?
s/(/\//
mberends rakudo: class Test {}; class Test is also { method foo() { return "ok!" } }; Test.new.foo.say 22:00
p6eval rakudo 446d49: ( no output )
mberends try it locally with perl6 -e, it was ok here 22:01
donri can you add your own "instructions" for class bodies, like class Foo is InheritingSomething { do_this_thing args...; } 22:02
mberends that would behave as if InheritingSomething is another class or role 22:04
donri: you may want www.perlcabal.org/syn/S14.html
lambdabot Title: S14
donri the idea is that InheritingSomething defines do_this_thing as a class method and class bodies are executable so in the context of Foo it knows do_this_thing
(ruby does this alot. i'm looking for arguments to convince ruby folk of perl6 awesomeness. :)) 22:05

donri something neat in ruby is File.open{} ensures the handle is closed after the block, will perl6 have something like that? 23:37
something neat in haskell is getContents which corresponds to slurp is lazy so you can use it on a big file and it only reads what you request, will slurp do that? 23:40
TimToady you can close a handle with a 'will leave' trait on the declaration 23:44
does getContents break into lines?
donri huh, how does that work
no (though maybe there is something for that too) 23:45
TimToady okay, but it's a string represented as a list, right?
we don't have lazy strings in Perl 5, but if you want to read a file char by char, that could be done lazily 23:46
donri well, strings in haskell are lists of Char
TimToady lines() is lazy
and I think .comb on a filehandle should be lazy eventually
though I doubt rakudo does that
donri how does 'will leave' work? 23:47
TimToady my $fh will leave {.close} = open $file; 23:48
is equiv to
my $fh = open $file;
LEAVE { $fh.close }
donri and, sorry, what is LEAVE{}?
TimToady S04 is where these are discussed
donri aye 23:49
TimToady always executes on leaving the current block
there are many variants
see the section labelled "Closure traits"
donri so you could simply scope it with {} attach to nothing in particular
and it would correspond to the ruby way?
though abit verbose for that 23:50
TimToady if you don't do anything with a filehandle, and don't care exactly when it closes, it we close when the filehandle is garbage collected 23:53
you only have to close it explicitly if you care about the exact timing
donri but it's good practice to make sure it's closed when you don't need it right?
23:54 dukeleto joined
donri or i don't really know why that would be important 23:54
an open handle isn't really blocking is it?
TimToady well, you might have race conditions if you want to reopen the file
