TimToady that seems simpler
and is not exactly backtracking, more like forward tracking... 01:45
01:45 mawkish__ left, llfourn joined
timotimo ya 01:45
TimToady though probably doesn't work in a grammar that defines FAILGOAL 01:46
timotimo TimToady: do we have a clue how we can emit regexes that don't actually compile to regexes? 01:49
for example, on the mailing list we just had someone want s|.*'/'||
that'd totally work as just a substr with an rindex
01:50 llfourn left 01:57 llfourn joined
TimToady not yet, but I'm working my way into regex/grammar optimization, now that I'm mostly done with braids 02:01

timotimo yup 02:10
02:21 kalkin- joined
kalkin- hi #perl6 02:22
How do i read from a file descriptor which I obtained from a native call?
timotimo well, you can definitely use nativecall for regular libc functions like fprintf 02:23
we do have a "give me the native descriptor for this perl6-level IO thingie" 02:24
not sure about the other side
well, you can "/proc/self/fd/$num".IO.open(...)
but only on linux
kalkin- timotimo: i think the other side is missing
timotimo: TIL about fd/$num 02:25
timotimo: is linux only anyway, thanks! 02:26
ups
timotimo i hope it actually works out! :) 02:28

kalkin- /proc/self/fd/$num doesn't exist, but /proc/$*PID/fd/$num does (checked via shell during runtime), but when accessing it i get permission denied 02:42
timotimo well, accessing it from a different thread surely won't work 02:43
how were you checking for it?
wow, just .say for dir /proc/self/fd gives me 0 through 13 02:44
impressive

timotimo huh, 0, 1, 2, 9, 11, and 12 are all /dev/tty 02:45
and one /dev/null, too
a few precomps are mmapped, that's not so surprising that they'd have fds 02:46
user_ btw the fd in question is shown in zsh as “18 -> anon_inode:inotify” which makes sense, but may be is in issue for rakudo/moarvm 02:47

samcv it's basically like \s+ when you have a space when doing sigspace 08:38
well
m: say 'blah' ~~ /:s blah/
camelia ｢blah｣
samcv m: say 'blah' ~~ /:s blah /
camelia ｢blah｣
samcv that still matches though?
so it's like \s* at the last token but like \s+ on others? 08:39
m: say 'blah' ~~ /:s b lah /
camelia Nil
samcv m: say 'b lah' ~~ /:s b lah /

samcv i think i noticed that once IOninja. was it reifying it or just not preserving what is-lazy would give you? 09:46
RabidGravy IOninja, right that makes sense, so the code in DBIish that basically does that was working by accident then :)
IOninja samcv: not preserving .is-lazy, which caused things to reify stuff 09:49

Geth DBIish: 37d5c2079c | (Jonathan Stowe)++ | lib/DBDish/StatementHandle.pm6
Make fetchall-* methods eager

The flatmap was accidentally reifying the lists until this was fixed in github.com/rakudo/rakudo/commit/ca...8c5da329c6
This is a naïve fix, but the tests would need to be rejigged if the
  laziness wants to be preserved.

ZzZombo What is "braid" and why do I feel bad about it in advance? 10:42
masak ZzZombo: my answer will be only as far as I understand :)
a braid is the total sum of all languages and slangs currently in effect
10:43 bwisti joined
masak like, say you just defined a new operator in your program. now you've technically extended the language with that operator. 10:43
that's like adding one little thread (your operator) to an already quite woven-together braid (Perl 6)
ZzZombo: the reason Perl 6 needs to invent a fairly new term for this is that it's trying to do something other languages are not (as far as I'm aware) 10:44
the thing it's trying is something like having the cake and eating it wrt everyone being able to extend the language while also minimally colliding with everyone else in doing so 10:45
ZzZombo well then
masak the closest thing in Perl 5 is something called "source filters". I know next to nothing about them, but I can say with certainty that they are not famous for their *composability* 10:46
I've gotten the eerie feeling that source filters are not very far removed from being regex-manipulations on source text -- someone feel free to enlighten me further on that point 10:47
hm, I wonder if someone has ever done something like source filters, but with PPI as a foundation :)
does PPI round-trip back to source text? 10:48
ZzZombo HELP! I'm here watching my cursor suddenly moving by itself towards the right bottom corner.... 10:50
I am not holding the mouse and its resting on its pad
it's greased, there is no way it can somehow start to move by itself... 10:51
masak how long since you performed the Mousa Calibration Ritual?
Mouse*
ZzZombo what is that? Is that some thing related to the old devices with a track ball inside them?
masak maybe you need to reboot your fridge or toaster of they're IoT devices. they might interfere with the mouse. 10:52
ZzZombo WTF, this is so creepy.
araraloren ... 10:53
masak maybe it's your neighbor who has hacked the mouse. you did password-protect your mouse, right? 10:56
ZzZombo hunter2
masak all I see is asterisks
ZzZombo see, it works.
masak oh, that was a password? great! 10:57
10:57 jjido joined 11:01 bwisti left
IOninja wtf 11:08
masak ZzZombo: I know TimToady and possibly jnthn have been making braid-related Rakudo commits lately, but I don't know what prompted it
IOninja RabidGravy: that code looks insane to me. What's with the 0 xx * bit? 11:09
RabidGravy dunno
IOninja RabidGravy: also, that's the wrong commit. The fix is in github.com/rakudo/rakudo/commit/51b0aba
masak `0 xx *` just means "a fair amount of zeros" :) 11:10
11:10 cibs left
IOninja RabidGravy: and why eager the fetchall? You'd think that to be a heavy operation that can benefit greatly from not fetching everything at the same time 11:10
masak: ... which aren't used in that code.
RabidGravy hence "naive fix" 11:11
masak huh. 11:12
IOninja masak: my thoughts exactl.y
masak if you mean that they aren't used for the .map, that just means that the `0` could've been anything
11:12 cibs joined
IOninja like repeat...until? Sure. 11:13
masak basically.
RabidGravy I didn't write the code, I'm sure whoever did had their reasons
it wasn't lazy before due to the flat losing the laziness so I was just preserving the tested behaviour 11:16
IOninja It was lazy.

We used to generate this error by default 12:06
e.g. there was a default FAILGOAL that did "Cannot find ]" or so
andrzejku hi people :)
sena_kun jnthn, this default will be returned on some point or I can document it as "do it yourself"? 12:07
jnthn And pepole whined "oh but every other regex construct backtracks, why not this one", so we ended up changing it...
12:07 wigner joined
jnthn sena_kun: No, these days it's more like "you have the opportunity to give better errors by implementing FAILGOAL" 12:07
I suggest providing an example like the one IOninja just gave
sena_kun jnthn, FAILGOAL works only for ~ or is it a default method for failure errors in general? 12:08
jnthn sena_kun: Only for ~
sena_kun jnthn, noted. Thanks, folks, I'll finish it faster now. 12:09
jnthn sena_kun: The ~ is known as "goal matching syntax", which is where the name FAILGOAL came from

masak I think I was one of perhaps several who said "every other regex construct backtracks" :) 12:45
I remember arguing the point in an RT ticket somewhere 12:46
I think what stood out to me was that grammars already have a composable kind of failure mechanism (backtracking), and this one thing incongruously used exceptions instead 12:47
stmuk_ I think all the slangs in the ecosystem are broken now 12:48
is braid getting moved to 6.d? 12:49
pmurias stmuk_: I would be surprised if we support any backwards compability with slangs 12:55
sammers hi #perl6 13:01
DrForr Afternoon, sammers. 13:02
stmuk_ slangs aren't documented either so I guess its not really supported yet

------> 3my %r<a>7⏏5 = (); %r.push: 'a'; # if you want to be
masak tbrowder: problem was the `my %r<a>` part
tbrowder: you probably meant `my %r; %r<a> = []` 13:55
DrForr Oh, ne'er mind, that's what I get for copying...
gfldex you can do it if you assign a Pair of Str and Array in the initialiser
tbrowder masak: i tried the [] before and it didn't work either, maybe my rakudo is too old 13:56
IOninja m: m: my %r; my $z = %r<a>; $z.push: 'b'; say %r

tbrowder woe is me, all i want to do is have a hash of arrays formed programmatically, but i guess masak's solution is good for now 13:59

m: my %r; my $z; %r{$_} := $z for <a b c d e f g>; $z.push: 'b'; say %r;

camelia Hash %r = {}
Hash %h = {:a("b")}
tbrowder my examples have been with one key, but the need is for a basic hash of arrays, one mutable array per hash key
how can that most painlessly and correctly be created incrementally? anyone? 14:40
in p5 terms i believe: an HoA 14:41
SmokeMachine m: dd a => 4; dd 'a' => 4 # why? 14:44
camelia block <unit>
:a(4)
gfldex m: role R { method push($key, $value){ self.{$key}.push: $value; self } }; my %h does R; %h.push('A', 1); %h.push('B', 2); %h.push('A', 3); dd %h; 14:46
camelia Hash+{R} %h = {:A($[1, 3]), :B($[2])}
gfldex tbrowder: ^^^
SmokeMachine gfldex: hash already has a push method, doesn't it? 14:48
gfldex SmokeMachine: yes
m: my %h; %h.push(a => 1); dd %h;
camelia Hash %h = {}
gfldex i did expect it to add the Pair to the Hash. 14:49
timotimo SmokeMachine: because a => 4 is a named parameter and 'a' => 4 is a pair literal that'll be put into a positional parameter
SmokeMachine m: my %h; %h.push('A' => 1); %h.push('B' => 2); %h.push('A' => 3); dd %h;
camelia Hash %h = {:A($[1, 3]), :B(2)}
SmokeMachine timotimo: ok, that makes sense... 14:50
gfldex timotimo: as stated in the docs :->
SmokeMachine gfldex: I didn't read everything... thanks... :( 14:51
timotimo yup, the docs say that
it's a common gotcha, especially for .push :) 14:52
gfldex luckily it wasn't me who wrote that
timotimo sooo, do the docs actually tell about s{abc} = "def"? i couldn't find anything about that form when i was answering that question on the users mailing list
IOninja recalls writing that
gfldex timotimo: it's not in the docs because it's not in roast 14:53
SmokeMachine Couldn't the hash's push receive named parameters and act as it was positional pairs? I'm not sure if it's a good idea...
IOninja timotimo: last code example: docs.perl6.org/language/operators#...bstitution
gfldex SmokeMachine: it could but then loads of ppl would not learn about the named-argument rule on Method 14:55
DrForr My mistake there, I'm afraid.
tbrowder ok, but why is, in my examples, %r<a>, not an array var?
SmokeMachine gfldex: thanks! 14:56
IOninja SmokeMachine: it'd make it much slower, lock us out from adding any options to the routine later on, and this quirk is present in literally all method calls, so adding support for that just in push is a drop in a bucket
tbrowder: which example exactly?
SmokeMachine IOninja: thanks!
timotimo OK, so there's a line in one of the examples... it's not very visible, though. like, it's not pointed out at all that that example is going to be presenting such a different syntax out of the blue 14:57
IOninja timotimo: well, it is, kinda. The last sentence is all about that syntax.
timotimo also: how the heck do we put it into the index? 14:58
i'd like it to have a heading of its own
tbrowder IOninja: my %r<a>; %r<a>.push: 'a'; # repeat push one or more times... 14:59
timotimo but "my %r<a>" doesn't even work?
tbrowder so no simple way to incrementally create a p6 HoA?, not good pr 15:00
timotimo of course there is? 15:01
let me try
Geth doc: 94a64bdbe3 | (Wenzel P. P. Peppmeyer)++ | doc/Type/Method.pod6
index extra named arguments

timotimo m: my %h; %h<foo>.push(1); %h<foo>.push(2); %h<bar>.push(99); dd %h 15:02
camelia Hash %h = {:bar($[99]), :foo($[1, 2])}
timotimo what's wrong with this?
tbrowder but there needs at least needs to be a good example in the docs which i'm happy to add if i knew how to make one :)
IOninja tbrowder: well, you keep using my %r<a> even though it's been pointed out to you that's not correct syntax.
tbrowder: which one keeps pushing to the first element? 15:04
tbrowder sorry, but isn't that what timotimo just did?
timotimo no
i used "my %h"
pmurias n "my %r<a>;" is the part that does not work
timotimo "my %h<foo>" would (in the future, when we've implemented that) be a declaration for a hash that only accepts the key "foo" and will never accept any other key 15:05
tbrowder oh, slapping forehead,...gross series of typos
let me try again: 15:06
timotimo oh, i think i see what your problem is
m: my %h; %h<a>.push(1); %h<a>.push(2); my @a = %h<a>; my @b = @%h<a>; dd @a, @b;
camelia Array @a = [[1, 2],]
Array @b = [Failure.new(exception => X::AdHoc.new(payload => "Type Seq does not support associative indexing."), backtrace => Backtrace.new)]
timotimo whoops %)
m: my %h; %h<a>.push(1); %h<a>.push(2); my @a = %h<a>; my @b = @(%h<a>); dd @a, @b; 15:07
camelia Array @a = [[1, 2],]
Array @b = [1, 2]
timotimo tbrowder: your mistake was that the arrays in the hash are in an itemized container, so when you assigned to @a with "my @a = %h<a>" you were only putting a single item into @a
and you interpreted that as if %h<a> was a list with a list as its first element
tbrowder m: my %r; %r<a>.push: 'a'; %r<a>.push: '3'; say %r<a>.perl 15:08
camelia $["a", "3"]

tbrowder timotimo: my examples today were very shortened from the code i'm working with. here today we could see the array form with the say .perl syntax, but in my real code i was seeing just a string concatenation of the array contents. i vaguely remember having the same problem last year but unpacking the array in code took some magic...don't know what best 16:07
practice is but i was creating a var like this: my @d = %r<a> which gave a single string but this works: my @d = @(%r<a>) which gave me the array elements

andrzejku what do you think if the people programming Perl are smarter than for ex. Ruby?
Perl6 suppose use more brain 16:09
tbrowder so i guess it is a reference, but i thought references were supposed to be kind of hidden for most uses, as in everything is kind of a reference 16:10

IOninja tbrowder: no referencing or dereferencing involved. %r<a> array is itemized, so you're providing just 1 item to @a. The `@` is a coercer, not dereferencer. You could also slip with `| 16:17

tbrowder IOninja: thanks, that helps understand the array some better, i have to say the docs probaby could introduce arrays a little gentler, at least for me, haven't gotten head wrapped around itemization yet 16:21
IOninja If you have to boxes of crayons and I tell you to put one in the other, there are two ways to interpret it: shove the entire box into the other (so you retain information about the crayons inside of it) or move the crayons themselves, discarding one box. The former is itemization—treating something as one thing—the latter is the slipping of one array into another: you end up with one homogenous set of 16:24
elements.
*two boxes

moritz pyhton does pretty much the same thing, excep that Perl 6's "push" is called "append" in python, and Perl 6's "append" is spelled += in python

sena_kun tbrowder, I've opened an issue already. Title, eeeh... It is a rough translation from Russian(Ukrainian? Both), but "Usage of refinement types for a static verification of code invariants". Or something along the lines. 16:55
"of code properties" maybe fit better... anyway, not something interesting. 16:56

tbrowder sounds like a page turner!
sena_kun tbrowder, glad to hear it! 16:59
tbrowder sena_kun: the pr 1187 looks ok to me, too. have you figured out the conflict? 17:01
maybe try splitting into smaller prs
sena_kun tbrowder, it was my edits for output style, so I can fix it easily. The new web editor is very handy too. 17:02

stmuk_ well the footer says its generated from a repo it isn't 17:33
I was git greping perl/doc but its a different repo 17:34
IOninja probably just a copy-paste of a page that used to be in docs but was taken down for Christmas because we never finalized slangs API 17:36

stmuk_ I don't think the content was actually ever in the docs repo itself but generally yes 17:42
timotimo no, you misread the footer 17:51
"using htmlify.p6 from perl6/doc on github"
that's the intended bracketing for that phrase 17:52
regnarg Plans for a Perl6 chromium-based web browser: github.com/regnarg/perl6-cef Currently it doesn't do much apart from initializing the CEF using NativeCall but it's a start... 17:53

regnarg It might need some improvements to NativeCall, I think it's currently not possible to put function pointers to structs, which half of the CEF API is comprised of. But some callback code is in NativeCall already and shouldn't be hard to adapt. 17:56
timotimo i think you can nativecast a pointer to a function by giving a signature or something like that 17:58
regnarg I will more often need the opposite: put a pointer to a Perl6 function (callback) into a struct. I'm not sure whether it can be currently done with some casting because it requires generating a C wrapper function. But the required infrastructure is already there because you can already pass Perl6 callbacks as arguments to C functions (at least the docs say so). 18:00
timotimo nativecall does the c wrapper thing for you
AlexDaniel m: my @manna = :a1, :b2, :c3; dd @manna 18:01
camelia Array @manna = [:a1, :b2, :c3]
AlexDaniel m: my @manna = :a1 :b2 :c3; dd @manna
camelia Array @manna = [:a1]
AlexDaniel hm
timotimo you might have to create a function that takes a pointer and immediately returns it to appease nativecall?
RabidGravy I think there is support for callable attributes in CSTructs
IOninja There's a ticket for that.
regnarg That might run into problems with the lifetime of the C wrapper
AlexDaniel regnarg: nice! 18:02
regnarg It might get freed after the function returns
Specifically you cannot just keep a void pointer around because NativeCall would not know when to free the wrapper
So my guess is that some (possibly simple) changes to NativeCall would be needed. 18:03
But I might be wrong, haven't yet looked into the details.
timotimo no, the wrappers leak
IOninja AlexDaniel: rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id...et-history and rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id...et-history and rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id...et-history
timotimo they get freed at end of life at the moment
IOninja more or less
regnarg Ok, in that case it might just happen to work
Even though it's probably not a robust solution in the long term 18:04
timotimo right, something clever is needed
regnarg I'll try that sometime soon
timotimo you want to just pass an anonymous block to a c function and not worry about it
AlexDaniel IOninja: so add RT #130816 to the list? :)
synopsebot6 Link: rt.perl.org/rt3//Public/Bug/Displa...?id=130816
timotimo but you'll have to also assign it to a variable and manually free it at some point with some kind of API that we'll have to design
AlexDaniel not sure if I will ever be able to use chromium-based anything because it never respected my system settings, but this looks like a great project :) 18:05
18:06 mspo left
regnarg Chromium has a very good core (w.r.t. speed and security) but it UI and especially configurability is horrendous. 18:06
But the CEF API is quite flexible (you can intercept every key event, every request, and so on) so one should be able to build something more flexible atop it. 18:07

robertle i have some functionality i want to put in a module, but I sometimes need it exposed in an OO fashion, sometimes procedurally. I could put both in the same module, but is that a terrible idea? so you would "use MuStuff" which would give you a role "MyStuff" as well as a sub my-stuff 18:15
18:15 agentzh joined
robertle alternatively these could be two modules, e.g. Role::MyStuff and Module::MyStuff... not sure what is worse 18:15
DrForr I'd do the export module and have it be just a wrapper to methods in the main module. 18:17
RabidGravy yeah 18:20
robertle so two modules, the OO one wrapping thje procedural one?
regnarg Alternatively, you can use the export groups functionality 18:23
Or sets or how it is called
docs.perl6.org/language/modules#Ex..._Importing 18:24
and then the user does either use MyModule :oop; or use MyModule :procedural; or even use MyModule :ALL; 18:25
It might be cleaner than two modules but it depends on the specifics
robertle oh wow, that sounds great I'll do that!
specifics: it's like "Pluggable" 18:26
