lizmat good *, #perl6 08:22
lizmat survived LPW and associated touristing and shopping :-) 08:23
masak oh, it's the LPW time of year? nice. 08:24
lizmat I think the question most asked was, whether TimToady's announcement was for real or not
masak we're all wondering that.
nwc10 lizmat: and the car survived the trip back, with the inevitable haul of books?
lizmat and the amazed look on everybody's face, when I told them it was real :-)
masak .oO( TimTrollay ) 08:25
lizmat nwc10: mostly CD's this time, but also some books
oddly enough, TimToady's announcement does not seem to have made it to the Perl Weekly yet 08:26
JimmyZ wonders what status the GLR is
lizmat JimmyZ is not alone 08:27
moritz pmichaud: is there anything I can do to help with GLR? 08:30
lizmat peteretep: it was good to see you as well! 08:31
FROGGS lizmat: when you have time (and are in a good mood :P), then we should talk about IO::* on windows 08:33
lizmat now would be good
FROGGS ohh, okay
well, it is broken on windows atm
because chdir and friends do not handle backslashes as dir-seps anymore, which we talked about 08:34
but.... $*CWD and dir() do spit out backslashes
08:35 Mso150 joined
lizmat ok, that's a migration issue I hadn't thought about yet... 08:35
which makes it important I move forward asap :-) 08:36
FROGGS :o)
lizmat or maybe return chdir() back to it's former logic
hmmm....
FROGGS I'll happily test things for you, or try stuff as a pre-commit hook
lizmat the problem is that the complete move forward still breaks panda in a very hard to debug way :-( 08:37
FROGGS really? 08:39
hmmm
I can probably help with that too

timotimo interesting result 11:33
11:33 Mso150 left
lizmat yeah, of course this can be handled ad-hoc 11:36
but if you have LEAVE code in a block, and you call a module that deep in its bowels does a die, and as a result of that, the LEAVE will also die
you never find out what happened deep inside the module 11:37
I think that's what bugging wrt to panda / File::Find
timotimo but then the LEAVE is your own problem, no?
lizmat yes, it is :-)
timotimo ah, then i seem to be understanding correctly
11:38 daxim joined
timotimo i agree that panda swallowing error information everywhere is annoying 11:38
FROGGS I still think that you have to care about such a situation by yourself
lizmat but it can be very confusing... as the reason why the code in the LEAVE is failing, could be caused internally
FROGGS one could argue that LEAVE is only for leaving "normally", but I don't know if that has a design smell or not 11:39
lizmat no, no
that's not what I meant
but I do think we need to have a way to preserve the "inner" stacktrace
timotimo for leaving normally, there's KEEP
and UNDO for the explicit case of leaving with error
lizmat as in, we should never drop stack traces 11:40
something I think we need to think about, specifically wrt to phasers that are called upon exit states, like LEAVE, NEXT, LAST, END etc

nwc10 timotimo: if you want to add some humour, you might want to add a footnote after the GLR, NSA and NFG acronyms something like "Any resemblance to real TLAs, living or dead, is purely coincidental." 11:58
masak :) 11:59
timotimo would have to look up two of the three to figure out what they could stand for
nwc10 I don't think that there's a "real" definition for GLR 12:00
but the usual meaning of NFG is quite inappropriately rude, and NSA quite inappropriately out of context
(although the NSA would probably disagree, as I'd guess that they view themselves as always in scope) 12:01
timotimo: I can't spot anything *constructive* to suggest :-) 12:02
timotimo hah
that sounds like you're barely holding back your insults :D 12:03
nwc10 I was only intending to insult my previous suggestion

nqp_ops.c: In function ‘quicksort’:
nqp_ops.c:171:1: warning: stack usage is 1512 bytes [-Wstack-usage=]
brrt what.. why would that be wrong?
timotimo because smaller stacks are better stacks
brrt i'd think by splitting stuff over multiple functions
FROGGS splitting up quicksort? hehe, no, that's out of my reach :P 12:28
brrt not sure if sarcasm or not
FROGGS no sarcasm involved
brrt hmmm 12:29
FROGGS github.com/perl6/nqp/blob/master/s...p.ops#L101
ohh, I think my openpipe port works O.o 12:30
I am shocked 12:31
brrt well, you allocate 100 'begin' integers (400 bytes at least), 100 'end' integers, that shouldn't be a problem unless intval is 64 bits wide
which i'd expect given this is perl6
FROGGS it is 64bits, aye
timotimo so that quicksort would support arrays with how many elements exactly? :) 12:32
12:32 tinyblak joined
brrt note that 100 levels of recursion deep is either a sign of a pathological case or 2^100 ints deep 12:32
also.. why u no use qsort()
FROGGS timotimo did that, it is all his fault!
timotimo oh crap, they found it out! 12:33
timotimo hides, quickly
brrt only data can ever going to convince me the function call overhead will kill usb :-)
:-D
s/usb/us/
FROGGS it is also funny with 'usb' :D
sort of
timotimo there's no overhead to "allocating" 100 64bit integers on the stack
brrt no 12:34
it is an OK solution
this will not be called recursively
timotimo correct
12:34 tinyblak_ left
brrt HOWEVER i think this will fail for a pre-sorted array because it always pick the left element for the pivot 12:35
timotimo selecting a pivot is A Hard Problem™
brrt yes, and it is adequately solved by randomisation :-) 12:36
timotimo i agree
FROGGS we have the very same quicksort in MoarVM... does it make sense to replace it with qsort and benchmark it? 12:37
brrt i think it does
but that's just, like, my opinion dude
FROGGS hehe
masak I know some algorithms that flip the sorting strategy in the middle if the array turns out to be "mostly sorted".
FROGGS GO OUT OF THAT CHANNEL!!11 NO OPINIONS HERE DUDE!!11
brrt really? that seems.. tricky 12:38
masak I think the Java API's sort does that.
brrt and edge-case-vulnerable
timotimo does something unspeakable to brrt's carpet
there's TimSort, which was invented by a python person
masak and they do it that way because that's what fell out of profiling.
timotimo it's pretty clever about sorted subsequences or something like that

rurban the stack access should fit into the L0 cache 12:39
so >256 is excessive
brrt L0 cache is that small? 12:40
timotimo l0 is very small
brrt i see
rurban depends on the processors.
timotimo hmm. not entirely sure how small it is in my system
rurban but my rule of thumb is stack < 256 or < 1024 occasionally 12:41
wordsize of course, not bytes
leont Yeah, I was surprised by that too 12:42
rurban parrot even emits emits a warning on overlarge stack sizes with —cage 12:43
brrt well, even if your pseudostack would fit into l0 cache, that doesn't mean your sorted array will, so even then i'm not seeing the benefit yet 12:46

jnthn Given it's mostly shuffling, a bubble sort may even be mroe effective... 13:29
About L0 cache, it's a darn *cache*, so what matters is what memory you access, not how much is allocated. So whining about oversized stack frames is stupid. 13:31

nwc10 FROGGS: I might have a patch to get MoarVM slightly further than it is currently on HP-UX
FROGGS nwc10: I'll happily accept it :o)
nwc10 but the next thing that I hit was the build system for one of the embedded deps
FROGGS: Offhand I don't know where it is. IIRC it's to do with not busting the length limits on pre-processor macros 15:06
the static inline detection code should (bloody) work on HP/UX and AIX (because I tested it)
FROGGS ohh, okay
TuxCM nwc10, HP-UX 10.20 is *not* a target for MoarVM I presume
nwc10 TuxCM: I think the answer is "oh $deity no" 15:07
TuxCM then there are options to set the limit on macro space
nwc10 I'm still attempting to get $real_life back down to size
TuxCM (not supported on 10.20)
lemme check if I can find those options 15:08
nwc10 TuxCM: there was a much easier way to fix it. It was the MVM_ROOT macro, which is just a shortcut for other code
please don't look, it wasn't needed
TuxCM stops searching
nwc10 and IIRC it's also needed for xlc
TuxCM xlc--
nwc10 but
xlc++ # if you code works on xlc, it probbaly works everywhere
TuxCM and it is not xlc that is buggy, it is the preprocessor it uses 15:09
moritz one would think that writing a preprocessor would be much easier to get right than writing a C compiler
nwc10 oh yes, *that* one (the processor)
IIRC it managed to mis-substitute macro parameters
TuxCM it is not ansi-compliant 15:10
IIRC ^\s+define\s+foo(a,b)\s+... is misinterpreted
IIRC ^\s+#define\s+foo(a,b)\s+... is misinterpreted 15:11

PerlJam nine: Are you willing to write something for this year's Perl 6 Advent Calendar? (If so, tell me an email address I can send an invite to)
jnthn The JSON::Path port is one that very nicely illustrates the power of some Perl 6 things 17:06
It came out radically different.
masak and the power of some lambda-based programming, too.
jnthn ayez 17:07
tony-o jnthn: i was just reading JSON::Path, it looks really cool
PerlJam masak/jnthn: Sounds like good fodder for Advent! :)
masak basically, you can build entire programs dynamically, if you know how to plug your lambdas together.
PerlJam (I know it's early yet, but I thought I'd start mentioning it to get people thinking about advent)
jnthn I have some slides on it somewhere too
masak PerlJam++
nine PerlJam: willing yes. But I don't think I'll have the time. Will spend the next three weeks trying to inflate my master's thesis by another 15 pages just to satisfy some arbitrary size criteria for acceptance :/
PerlJam nine: you don't have to write anything big or involved. You could just quickly illustrate Inline::Perl5 for instance. IT doesn't have to take loads of time. 17:08
jnthn ah, yeah, it's in jnthn.net/papers/2013-apw-lessons.pdf
Which is a talk I only gave once, but really deserves giving another time... 17:09
nine jnthn: that talk is one of the absolutely most useful talks I've ever seen 17:10
PerlJam: what would be the time frame? 17:11
PerlJam Is anyone working on a DBIC-like thing for P6 yet?
17:12 rindolf joined
PerlJam nine: produce one (or more) articles at your convenience sometime between Dec 1 and Dec 24 (inclusive) :) You could write something up now if you wanted and publish it on one of those days. 17:12
nine: See github.com/perl6/mu/tree/master/mi...dvent-2014 for the schedule and some ideas for topics 17:13
jnthn +1 to an Inline::Perl5 one. Since a lot of advent readers are not close followers of what happens the rest of the year in Perl 6, it doesn't have to be anything advanced. Using the examples presented in the Inline::Perl5 talk would and some words around them would probably cut it. :)

TimToady tweaking qsort in LTM won't make much difference, given compiling the setting gives a preponderance of 0 or 1 fates *total*, with occasional 2's, which might or might not be the same length (didn't measure that) 18:30

TimToady excessive numbers of fates does not seem to be a problem, at least for parsing Perl 6 18:31

*patho
18:32 leont left
TimToady probably the 2's are different lengths, given the longer one is a keyword requiring a whitespace, and the shorter is <identifier> or so 18:33
might have better luck cutting down the size of the NFA table, which is just a flat array of int64s right now, with lots of wasted bits and probable cache misses 18:34
or taking the parallel nfa and doing state set caching DFA, like grep does 18:35
or maybe just cache the state set of the first characters, which probably cuts the first pass way down 18:36
since most keywords are disjunct in the first char

FROGGS cognominal: because $/ is an NQPMath
since Perl6::Grammar is written in nqp
jdv79: first you must know that grammars in perl6 (or nqp) are class like... they have methods (tokens, rules, and normal methods) and all other stuff 21:36
cognominal Ok. FROGGS++
FROGGS they can inherit from another grammar, and can also do roles
and like how we can mix in a role into an object of a certain class, we can do that with our grammar 21:37
so, the entire logic of Slang::Tuxic is in an EXPORT sub
cognominal I can't wait the day when Perl 6 will be written in Perl 6 instead of nqp
jdv79 i thought the point of nqp was that it was intentionally not full Perl 6 21:38
FROGGS and that is because when you use a module (like Slang::Tuxic), the Perl6 grammar will parse your use statement, and call the EXPORT sub from inside the Perl6 grammar
to retrieve the symbols that it would make available to your program 21:39
jdv79: that's correct
nqp is our toolchain to build the guts of compilers like rakudo
cognominal jv79, yes, it is necessary to boot full Perl 6 but it causse all sort of problems at the frontier, like the necessity of atkeyish in Tuxic 21:40
21:40 ghostlines left
FROGGS back to my explanation... when the Perl6::Grammar calls the EXPORT sub, all its innards (like dynamic variables) are available inside the EXPORT sub 21:40
that might be by accident, but, who cares :O
err, :P 21:41
dalek c: ee0ea36 | moritz++ | lib/Type/Date.pod:
fix truncated-to signature
jdv79 FROGGS: where is EXPORT doc'ed? i did some grepping and didn't see it.
FROGGS good question 21:42
cognominal jdv79, in S11 and S12
timotimo FROGGS: what parts are missing until we can have multiple versions of the same module loaded properly? 21:43
jdv79 ah
thanks
FROGGS timotimo: this is already possible, you just need to put a CompUnitRepo::Local::Installation into your %*CUSTOM_LIB<site> 21:44
21:45 kshannon left
FROGGS jdv79: so, we can access the current grammar in our EXPORT sub, can mix into it (to replace/add methods), and that grammar will stay active after our EXPORT finishes 21:45
that's it

TuxCM FROGGS, mail sent. (and beauty is in the eye of the beholder) 21:47
jdv79 thanks. and what parts of slangs are you thinking about changing?
FROGGS TuxCM: *g*, true, very true :o)
TuxCM thinks «function( arg, arg );» is extremely ugly

jdv79 I was wondering what you meant by "I try to make it user friendly these days, but it is not yet the case" 21:50
timotimo FROGGS: could you please write a short example of having two versions of a module in use in the same process?
tony-o FROGGS: are you saying it's possible to load the perl6 grammar or am i lazy reading?
timotimo "you just have to" is not close enough to a working example for me :P 21:51
FROGGS jdv79: v5 is a totally different approach btw, it does not mix into the current language (Perl 6), but replaces it entirely for a given scope
tony-o: only in an EXPORT sub, but yes
jdv79: I want to provide a helper module (called Slangy) that let you write slangs more easily, without knowing any nqp 21:52
timotimo: gimme a sec or two
timotimo cool, thanks :)

tony-o FROGGS: how would i call that up to parse a file? 21:52
cognominal FROGGS, what is the purpose of the keyword slang if neither Tuxic nor V5 use it?
tony-o i know you're inundated with other questions but i don't have time for perl6::tidy because of that piece of the job :-) 21:53
FROGGS cognominal: the purpose will be to add sugar, helper methods and sane defaults
cognominal: but it is not there yet
cognominal ok, FROGGS++ 21:54

FROGGS tony-o: you should be able to call .parse on it
TuxCM postfix
dotty method or postfix 21:55
tony-o FROGGS: how do i actually load the grammar?
FROGGS tony-o: it already is in %*LANG<MAIN> in your EXPORT sub
TuxCM: we can try to turn it around and not allow whitespace after a sub or method name, but to allow whitespace before an arglist... 21:56
TuxCM: but I'm not sure this will out
TuxCM => $HOME 21:57
HAVE FUN!
FROGGS TuxCM: looks like I need more tests... will add that one
TuxCM: please pull 22:00
tony-o FROGGS: i get an error if i try to use %*LANG<MAIN> in an exported sub .. 22:02
FROGGS tony-o: not an exported sub, an EXPORT sub
tony-o oh!
