mdxi i love serendipity. couple days ago i'm out thrifting and stumble on "Introduction to Tagmemic Analysis", Cook, 1969. Being an addict for all things word-and-language, I grab it (besides, it's $2) 02:37
get home, do some googling to learn what's up before actually reading. 3 minutes later i'm reading a PDF form Allison form YAPC::EU 2002 adn looking at Perl6's given/when statement. 02:38

__ash__ i have a bool on cobol from the 70's i found in a thrift store 02:42
and another book on computers from the 70's from a business perspective, it lists computers you can go rent for like $1300 an hour and how many (or few) instructions they can process a second, etc. 02:43
its very amusing considering the state things are in these days

__ash__ colomon, hows the trig stuff going? still looking into that? 03:43
colomon __ash__: Absolutely still looking into it. Checked in a bunch more stuff today. 03:44
03:44 meppl left, mepplock is now known as meppl
__ash__ are you done with the failing Num tests? didn't you get to the complex ones? 03:45
colomon I haven't worked out how to get Complex to work correctly, but I got sucked into fixing the Num functions.
All the hyperbolic ones were broken, as well as several of the normal ones.
I think my next step is going to be to whip up a code generator to generate trig tests, as there's just too much repetition and ugliness otherwise. 03:46
After that, the inverse trig functions need to be tackled. At least a few of those are broken as well. 03:47
__ash__ whats wrong with the complex numbers?
colomon They're calling the Parrot complex number versions of the functions rather than the Rakudo versions. 03:48
Of course, most of the Rakudo versions aren't actually implemented yet, either.
03:49 drbean left
colomon The other thing to do is fix the $base argument to be an enum, as per the spec. That's another thing to tackle once the test generator is up and running. 03:49
I'll probably be tinkering on it for at least another week. :) 03:50

__ash__ would be nice if it was called ParrotComplex or something to tell the difference 03:51
colomon It says Complex, but it's still calling the Parrot version. I've tested that pretty exhaustively.
Yeah, I guess I don't know if the problem is that it's really complex (parrot version) but it says Complex, or that it calls complex.sin when it should call Complex.sin. 03:52
rakudo: class Complex is also { multi method tan() { say "Hello!"; }; }; say (1 + 1i).tan; 03:53

Matt-W moritz_: Good blog post 18:29
moritz_ Matt-W: thanks 18:31
I just think that it's a point theoretical/pointless for the outsiders (aka not-yet-perl-6-hackers) 18:32
__ash__ is there a way in perl6 to return code? I imagine macro's would be the way to do it, but what i mean is more like, if you know ruby, say their attr_accessor :attr syntax 18:33
moritz_ macros can return ASTs, but are NYI 18:34
you can return closures
I guess attr_accessor is something like has $.public_attr?
Matt-W I just looked it up, it seems to be a method for creating accessor methods automatically 18:35
so yes, it's rather like has $.attr is rw;
moritz_ __ash__: there'll surely be ways to add methods to classes via the meta class 18:37
but I don't think it's specced in detail yet
__ash__ got yeea
yehudakatz.com/2009/06/04/the-impor...ss-bodies/ has example of what exactly i am referring to more or less 18:38
lambdabot Title: The Importance of Executable Class Bodies « Katz Got Your Tongue?, tinyurl.com/q66yjz
__ash__ I imagine some of that can be done with macro's but then there are some things that seem like it would need a bit more than macros to implement 18:39
like the lazy example at the bottom of that post, which maybe there is a whole different way of doing that sort of thing in perl6 but thats more or less what i am referring to 18:43
18:44 molaf left
moritz_ $yourClass.^add_method($some_closure) 18:44
not yet specced as such
__ash__ ah, okay, cool 18:45
moritz_ the standard meta class really needs specs
rakudo and smop both implement it paritially
__ash__ is there a spec out there for it yet? 18:46
moritz_ no 18:47
unless you write one ;-)
__ash__ lol
i'd be willing it give my opinion on it, but writing the whole thing is probably beyond my capabilities
moritz_ a partial one would be great already 18:48
__ash__ i have to say ruby and smalltalk have influenced my opinion on OO meta programming quite a bit, i have yet to find an OO language that rivals ruby for meta programming capabilities, but perl6 looks more like the kind of language i like all things considered, i like all the other features it has that aren't OO because OO isn't 'the one true way' 18:49
moritz_ (and I mean it, really. No super-wizard skills required for the intial version - others will refine it as needed)
Matt-W The OO/lazy functional hybrid approach seems to work very well 18:50
__ash__ i can write up my ideas if you want and send them to you moritz_ 18:51
moritz_ that would be great 18:52
__ash__ i think it kind of speaks for functional programming that in all the implementations i have seen they can never stay 'purely functional' and be a productive language, but many of the ideas from them have made there way into non-functional languages 18:53
moritz_ or maybe even to p6l, because others have interest in that too
arnsholt Is there anyone that uses OS X for Rakudo development?
__ash__ arnsholt: i do
10.6.1 18:54
moritz_ masak does, too
__ash__ arnsholt: need me to test something OS specific?
arnsholt When I run make test/spectest, there seems to be a lot of tests that are marked as dubious (Test returned status 0 (wstat 10, 0xa)\nafter all the subtests completed successfully) 18:55
Is this a sign of something not quite right with my setup, or just a normal thing?
moritz_ arnsholt: could you please updated to latest parrot and try again?
I had these problems too, but they seem mostly gone now with parrot r41252 18:56

pugs_svn r28235 | finanalyst++ | clarifying ^4 in a range and including a fractional example 19:29
finanalyst moritz_: finally remembered it
__ash__ does perl6 have a 'method_missing' like functionality right now? 19:30
moritz_ what's that?
__ash__ in ruby on an object if you call a method that doesn't exist it calls that function (which is actually whats throwing the MethodMissingException
)
moritz_ ah, like AUTOLOAD in Perl 5 19:31
grep the specs for CANDO, iirc it provides a similar mechanism
finanalyst: note that ^$number :by didn't used to be specced 19:34
the case where it made a difference before was smart-matching
3.5 ~~ ^4 # true
3.5 ~~ 0..3 # false
__ash__ okay, got ya moritz_ thanks
finanalyst moritz_: i assumed it was intended 19:35
as otherwise how would 0 ..^ 4 be different from ^4? 19:36
just the smart match?
moritz_ good point
finanalyst daren duncan has just emailed me on the same topic 19:38
moritz_ if adverbs work on prefix operators, I see no point in not having them work on prefix:<^> 19:39
finanalyst nevertheless, if what I suggested is a no-no, then it's probable others like me will jump to the same conclusion
moritz_ let's see if others complain ;-) 19:40
__ash__ is there currently a spec for a method thats called when a role is included into a class? 19:41
finanalyst daren has just taken back his objection :)
moritz_ __ash__: afaict it's a bit more complicated... 19:42
__ash__: there's of course the multi 'does' which is called for 'class A does B { ... }'
finanalyst __ash__: interesting question, but why would you want one
19:42 molaf joined
moritz_ __ash__: second there must a be a method on the meta class to (tentatively) add a role (let's say A.^compose(B)) 19:43
__ash__: and then there's a method that's called when the class composition is finished
the reason is that a role may never conflict with itself
if you have role D { }; role B does D { }; role C does D { }; class A does C does B { }, the methods from D don't conflict 19:44
so composition is not performed immediately when calling .^compose, but later when the class construction is finished 19:45
__ash__ finanalyst: lots of reasons if you want an example of how a similiar functionality is useful in ruby look at the DataMapper library
yeah, it would be better to have a function you can call when the class is finished being constructed 19:46
moritz_ put it into your metaclass spec ;-)
__ash__ in the DataMapper ruby library they effectively have a role called Resource that lets them turn any object into a persistable object without screwing up inheritence (so you don't have to inherit from some table class or w/e) 19:47
i am, i am trying to think of the kinds of things i'd include in it, i am outline what i consider useful meta features right now
then i'll try to flush out the ideas a bit more
finanalyst Does ruby have both roles and classes (or the equivalents) - sorry, but i have never used ruby 19:48
__ash__ finanalyst yeah it does
moritz_ it certainly help to have people with different backgrounds working on that
__ash__ say you had a big project and wanted a few random bits of data to be persistent, thats where you could define a simple role to include in a few objects and have them behind the scene's know how to persist themselves based off the role rather than the more traditional approach of inheriting from some DB table object, which you see a lot of 19:50
that is a great example of how/why roles are useful
19:52 reqamst joined
__ash__ datamapper.org/doku.php?id=getting_...our_models is an example of the ruby way of doing that, its simple and readable, the property function returns a constructor to object accessors that know how to make themselves into database table columns, then you can add your Object#save anywhere and it knows how to save its state 19:52
lambdabot Title: getting_started_with_datamapper [DataMapper], tinyurl.com/pbpmqa
__ash__ thats a lot of fancy metaprogramming but in the end it makes things really easy to work with and gives you clean ways of defining what you need in your class 19:53
finanalyst i misunderstood the aim of the question. i wasnt asking why roles are a good idea, but why there would need to be a method called when composing a role into a class, in other words why would a progammer want to have access to such a method. 19:54
moritz_ finanalyst: for all sorts of things. For example role composition, as I mentioned to __ash__ earlier 19:56
__ash__ okay, here's a simple example, say you have a function in a base class A with a method foo
moritz_ finanalyst: role composition is delayed up to the point where the class is fully composed to avoid roles confliciting with itself
so the thing that composes roles must have a callback 19:57
__ash__ datamapper uses the included method to keep track of all of the objects that are supposed to be persistable too, so every time something includes Resource it adds that to another object to keep track of that 20:02
it also has an inherited method so if a class that includes a resource is inherited it can keep track of that too so you can do STI (single table inheritence, a db thing)
so you have Person, which includes Resource, so it knows to make a table called person, then you have Worker < Person, so worker is a child of Person, this shouldn't be a new database table, it should be STI 20:04
there are at least 2 useful meta callbacks in that, 1 called when the role is added to a class, 1 that is called when a class is inherited into another class 20:05
arnsholt __ash__/moritz_: I get 14 dubious (returned 0 after all tests successful) with latest parrot
moritz_ hrmpf. 14 is far too much, but better than the about 50 that I was getting with older parrots 20:06

__ash__ moritz_ i have noticed that sometimes rakudo gets bus errors and segfaults as the program is finishing, everything runs but i still get the errors 20:13
moritz_ __ash__: yes, there are two classes of such problems. One is the so-called "inferior run-loop problem" when eval()s die under certain circumstances and are caught later on. The other one is quite new and we don't know yet what's the problem 20:14

__ash__ no worries

__ash__ isn't there something about doing somehthing related to generics in perl6? like with roles? 20:55
class A does Role[Something] {} ?
moritz_ there are parameterized roles
yes
(defined in S14, and implemented in Rakudo already)
__ash__ kk, just checking
frettled parametrized roles are cool braintwisters. 20:56
moritz_ which actually is a signature
and you can do multi dispatch on multiple parameterized roles

__ash__ how do attributes work in inheritence? 21:02
moritz_ they don't
attributes are private to the current class
only accessors are inherited (being normal methods)
__ash__ hmmm so no way for their to be 'cross class' variables? 21:03
like a variable thats inherited into its children
moritz_ well, if you declare an attribute as 'has $.attrib is rw' it's as though the variables was inherited
but it's really just the accessors that are inherited 21:04

you mean things like class attributes, no?

Or, some at least

arnsholt Two Parrot backtraces, a malloc error (free of an unallocated pointer) and a bus error
And a bucketload of dubiouses
moritz_ with which exit status? 11? 21:17
arnsholt Looks like most of them return 10 21:18

Which command does prove run to execute a single test script? 21:58
moritz_ first 't/spec/fudge --keep-exit-code rakudo $filename' or so, then ./perl6 $fudged_filename 21:59

arnsholt Right. Looks like the bad return values are from bus errors (like __ash__ said) 22:03
moritz_ dammit. And they just went away on amd64. 22:04
arnsholt Are Rakudo/Parrot built with or without debugging symbols? 22:05
22:05 molaf left
moritz_ with, per default (I think) 22:05

moritz_ at least gdb gives you stack traces 22:05
arnsholt I think you get those without symbols as wel 22:06
+l
From build/gen_parrot.pl and Configure.pl it doesn't look like it builds with debugging symbols 22:08
But that's not really important I suppose
I'll get that stacktrace first
Right. This is annoying 22:09
When I tried it in gdb it exited normally 22:10
moritz_ exits normally to bed
arnsholt And same when I tried it outside of gdb, this time
moritz_ ttfn folks
arnsholt is confused
Hmm. Looks like this error is somewhat transient 22:12
Going from the fact that I got a warning about trying to free something that wasn't allocated, I suppose it's possible this is related 22:14
