Set by audreyt on 29 August 2006.
TreyHarris I don't understand. I thought you were saying L<NONEXISTENT/foo> should be considered broken. 00:00
Or are you saying L<NONEXISTENT/foo> and L<BOOM> are not treated the same?
markstos Right.
TreyHarris which? 00:01
markstos L<NONEXIST/foo> is treated as non-broken smartlink, while L<BOOM> is skipped.
TreyHarris "non-broken" meaning.... it thinks it actually finds its target? where does it think the target is? 00:02
markstos dude, I don't know. I'm using it for the first time tonight. The code is a little difficult to review in there. 00:03
I was just trying to make sure I knew what --check did, but constructing a smart link that was actually considered broken, but I'm having trouble doing so... 00:04
s/but/by/
TreyHarris use something like L<S03/No such section/These words never appear> 00:05
markstos Well, I'm stuck on looking to this bug. :) I actually made a real typo by using S9 instead of S29, and it appeared that mistake was silently ignored.
TreyHarris how odd. I spent a good long while last night making it so that some valid smartlinks would *not* be broken 00:06
markstos Interesting. :)
One thing I noticed the smartlink.pl POD doesn't cover is the definition of a link. When is L<something> considered a smart link and not just a link ? 00:07
TreyHarris well, you can certainly try my file, since i know it works
markstos your smartlinks.pl ? 00:08
TreyHarris t/operators/smartmatch.pl ... try changing "simple closure truth" to, say "simple cloTure truth". it'll break.
no, run util/smartlinks.pl -check t/operators/smartmatch.pl, to verify the links all work, then change on trivially
s/on/one/
markstos Yes, I've been able to to trigger that kind of a failure. I'm interested in the I-typoed-the-synopsis name case. 00:09
TreyHarris I think that L<> is always considered a smartlink so long as the L has nothing but possible whitespace to its left
markstos Those seem to be silently ignored now.... but maybe that's different between a "smart link" and "just a link", but that difference is not defined, that i can find.
TreyHarris er, whitespace and/or #
markstos s/different/difference/ 00:10
TreyHarris markstos: sorry, i can't figure out what you're saying... it would help if i could see an example of a 'silently ignored' smartlink that you think should be broken 00:11
markstos TreyHarris, put this in a test file and run smartlinks.pl --check on it: 00:12
# L<S600/split>
It will report that one smart link was found, and none are broken.
It should at least warn that S600 doesn't exist yet. 00:13
TreyHarris ah. gotcha.
that would be a feature add. right now, nonexistant is nonexistant, whether it looks like an AES or not
markstos Oh the other hand, I'm having trouble getting L<S29/split> to work. It is considered broken, although "=item split" is in the POD. 00:14
TreyHarris because people were making smartlinks to S29 before it was blessed
markstos I also tried L<S29/=item split>
TreyHarris: Thanks for the clarification. 00:15
TreyHarris split isn't a section
markstos Ok. How to link to it?
There are so many functions... it seems useful to link directly to them. There are about 100 tests for split alone.
TreyHarris you want L<S29/Str/=item split> 00:16
markstos Ah.
TreyHarris look for the prior =head
markstos Moose! Seems to work. 00:17
00:17 jferrero joined
markstos No wonder my prior blissfully ignorant (and unchecked) smart links weren't working. 00:17
TreyHarris actually, L<S29/Str/"=item split"> would be safer
in case some other =item contains the word "split"
markstos Thanks. 00:18
TreyHarris np 00:19
markstos I'm surprised t/builtins/strings/split.t dies so horribly, though. It has a parse error at line 63, and I just don't see it. 00:20

00:29 rodi joined
TreyHarris i'll look in a sec 00:29
but when you have an adverb, you need a space 00:30
so it's rx:Perl5 {,}
rather, an adverb followed by a bracket
markstos Ah.
Because rx:Perl5/,/ might be valid ?

TreyHarris audreyt: I've spent many many hours trying to write a test for my pugsbreak problem, but I can't figure it out. I think I'll get it licked if I know just one thing: given "Foo.pm", am I making it YAML correctly by doing "pugs -CParse-YAML Foo.pm > Foo.pm.yml", and if so how do I use that YAML? 01:39
cmarcelo audreyt: hi :).. any clue on the build error I posted? 01:40
audreyt TreyHarris: you use it on "use Foo".
TreyHarris: and yes that's correct.

TreyHarris audreyt: huh. I tried that first thing, and get 'No compatible subroutine found: "&Foo"'
though the use returns just fine, and if i remove the yaml file it works fine 01:44

r13173 | audreyt++ | * Also, "my T $x" now re-assigns T into $x upon closure reentry.
r13173 | audreyt++ | Note that this is not strictly correct for "state T $x", but
r13173 | audreyt++ | let's do it this way for now.
audreyt that's one of the motivations behind the simpler newExp and newVal
svnbot6 r13173 | audreyt++ | t/xx-uncategorized/attribute_of_return_value.t now passes with this.
audreyt so avoid it for now except for the specially-craafted-to-fit Prelude nad Test.

TreyHarris anyone have a nice, portable way to make a file old? like "touch -t 200000000000 $filename"? 01:54
but portable? :-)
markstos I've always used "touch", so no.
TreyHarris it can even be not-so-nice, but I don't see anything in ext/ to help me here 01:56
rodi TreyHarris: I just let it sit there for a long, long time, and that almost always makes it old ;) 01:57
TreyHarris well, in this case, i need to defeat (-M $newfile > -M $filename) 02:01
i'm going to write two files, A, then B
but then I need B to show up via -M as older than A
markstos TreyHarris: You could always write it with "touch" with an XXX note for someone else to make it portable. Some progress is better than none. :) 02:02

masak my tests still hang on t/examples/all_parse :( 06:10
06:17 lambdabot joined
masak is it relevant in some way that when i run pugs -c on the example that hangs the test suite, it complains about not finding AppConfig::Std? 06:36
after audreyt fixed the syntax bug, it does OK the file (examples/perl5/cpan-upload.pl) 06:37
ah well, skipping the test for now. nobody else seems to have the same issue 06:38
TreyHarris masak: i don't have a working pugs at the moment, once i do i'll try 06:41
masak TreyHarris: thx 06:47
TreyHarris trying now
masak it's a strange thing, the test hangs for me but running pugs directly on the file doesn't 06:48
TreyHarris you mean running "pugs t/examples/all_parse.t" works, but ".util/prove6 t/examples/all_parse.t" doesn't? 06:52
cmarcelo audreyt: just to keep you informed => found lots of segfault cases now. I gotta go now but will track it tomorrow. & 06:53
masak TreyHarris: no, both of those hang for me, but running pugs -c on examples/perl5/cpan-upload.pl (which is what the test file is supposed to be doing when it hangs) exits fine with a "syntax OK" 06:56
i wish there was a program-will-hang detector, despite having read about the halting problem :) 06:57
(somehow the fact that a general algorithm doesn't exist, never bothered me much) 06:58
gaal there kinda is, lag behind HEAD a day and keep reading #perl6 :-p 07:00
TreyHarris masak: all_parse is still running for me, but it's at test 92 now 07:03
which number hangs for you? 07:04
07:04 bsb left
masak it prints 21 and then hangs 07:06
though for all I know, the routine that collects the files to parse has a platform-dependent collation, so be careful 07:07
the file in question is examples/perl5/cpan-upload.pl, though
TreyHarris oh 07:10
it just went by. as number 105
delete it and svn update it maybe?
masak the cpan-upload.pl file? 07:11
TreyHarris yeah. kinda voodoo-y, but if it's consistently on that file... 07:12
masak $ md5sum examples/perl5/cpan-upload.pl 07:13

TreyHarris hrm 07:14
what does a trace show the pugs process doing?
masak TreyHarris: don't know, how can I tell? 07:15
TreyHarris what OS are you on?
masak linux
07:15 lambdabot joined
TreyHarris is it hanging now? 07:16
masak yep :(
TreyHarris get its PID, and run "strace -p <pidnum> | tail -f"
masak ok
I seem to have four pugs processes running... 07:17
TreyHarris sorry, forget the tail -f
masak right
TreyHarris run pstree masak
to se which one is the root
er... pstree -p masak 07:18
otherwise you won't get the PIDs :-)
and then you want to strace the leaf
masak right 07:19
I get a lot of this:
write(2, "Error eval perl5: \"require AppCo"..., 8192) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted)
--- SIGALRM (Alarm clock) @ 0 (0) --- 07:20
sigreturn()
that's the refrain
it's repeated indefinitely
TreyHarris do you have AppConfig::Std? 07:21
masak is it a CPAN module? I guess not 07:22
that's probably it
TreyHarris well, i don't have it either
but it ends with "syntax OK"
does it end the same for you? 07:23
masak yes
installing AppConfig::Std now
TreyHarris that might be your best bet :-) of course, then maybe it'll just move on to the next module you don't have and spin there :-)
masak :P
i'd actually prefer that 07:24
is there a way to label this problem to make it easier for the next person to solve?
TreyHarris i was thinking about that... but since i can't duplicate it, i dunno
masak yay! it continues after 21 :)
and doesn't seem to hang so far 07:25
TreyHarris unless i'm missing something, alarm() doesn't seem to be implemented
masak are we talking about the contents of cpan-upload.pl now? 07:26
i haven't actually looked at it
TreyHarris no, i was thinking about how to catch this in the future
masak ah
what's alarm() supposed to do?
TreyHarris since, no, the halting problem isn't solved, it would be typical to set a timeout beyond which you don't believe it will complete
masak: perl -e'alarm 5; sleep 20' 07:27
masak neat 07:28
but what if I'm running pugs on a 386 (with oodles of memory)? I'd have to set the alarm time based on processor speed somehow 07:29
07:29 traecer joined
masak or document it liberally to make people with 386es able to change it easily 07:29
07:31 iblechbot joined
TreyHarris no, a timeout will not make it easier if you're sitting there watching it. but it could eliminate the frustration of running a smoke, returning many hours later, and finding it's been stuck almost since you left 07:32
you would want to set the timeout well beyond what would imaginably be reasonable
masak right
but still low enough to be useful 07:33
TreyHarris huh. "use perl5:alarm" works, but I can't figure out how to get at it
ah, well, without signal handlers, SIGALRM's not going to be terribly useful anyway 07:36
masak anyway, so now I have the whole test suite running without hanging 07:37
what's this "test triaging" that audreyt needs done? :) 07:38

neo2676 what? 08:13
buu neo2676: The correct word is 'you', 'u' is not a word in the english language.
masak neo2676: thank you. and buu is just being helpful, not mean :)
'u' is a pervasive IM-lingo phonetic form of 'you' 08:14

buu neo2676: Please, do not.
neo2676: Anyone who uses 'u' is usually regarded as having lower intelligence, you wouldn't want people to think that about you, would you? 08:15

masak neo2676: you want to make sure to make the right impression
buu masak: I've known lots of foreigners who've learned english from the net and tv and other popular culture things, they all managed to spell correctly. 08:17
masak buu: yes, but that's the converse of what i said
neo2676 yes, i have not communicate with the foreign, and my oral english is worst

masak neo2676: if I want to learn chinese, what should I think about the most? 08:18

neo2676: also, do you have a perl6 question, besides "?" ? :) 08:19
neo2676 yes, for the spelling is hard for foreigners
i have learned the basic of the perl, and i want to know how to be a senior programmer of perl, and where to begin with 08:20
masak neo2676: just perl? not perl 6? 08:21
neo2676: you're in the experimental area right now, you see
neo2676 is perl6 = perl +oop?
masak neo2676: um, well, not really 08:22
neo2676: perl 6 is not production ready yet
neo2676: it does have OO, but so does perl 5, in its way
buu neo2676: Perl6 is a completely different language than perl5.
neo2676 i see 08:23
masak neo2676: is you want to hone your perl 5 skills, I suggest you trawl through CPAN for a day or a week or so, just marvelling at all the modules
and then maybe write a module of your own which you find useful
neo2676 do you have suggestions? 08:24
about what aspect?
masak suggestions for modules to look at? or for problems to solve?
neo2676 yes, the latter
masak not really :) 08:25
depends too much on yourself
I tend to like math problems
like this one: masak.org/carl/whipuptitude/necklace.pl

neo2676 what does np mean? 08:29
oh, i see, no problem
masak neo2676: yes. I'm not sure if buu likes that usage either, so don't tell him I said that :) 08:30
neo2676 ok, i like this usage, 08:31

gaal actually this surprised me. how do you create a lazy list of actions? 14:30
agentzh: you can, of course, work around this by pushing the take into genSeq.
lumi I think it has to work this way, execution in IO has to be determinable
agentzh what i want to do is simply constructing a list of 100 random numbers. 14:31

Limbic_Region gaal - I don't know, I am trying to do one of the exercises in YAHT
let me nopaste it
gaal sure 16:04

Limbic_Region it is quite simple but I am not sure what it is I am doing wrong 16:05
mauke if it involves [] and :, you're dealing with lists
wolverian ?type getLine
lambdabot IO String 16:06
Limbic_Region wolverian - I am using read to cast
let n = read num
wolverian right. I just read the == comparison wrong
(== 0)
gaal Limbic_Region: for didactic purposes <g> what's the error you're getting? 16:07
16:07 ludan joined
Limbic_Region let me nopaste that as well 16:07
mauke main :: IO (); getNums :: (Read a) => IO [a] or something
Limbic_Region running using ghci without extensions
gaal no, never mind :) you need to tell read what it's returning 16:08
pasteling "Limbic_Region" at 129.33.119.12 pasted "The errors" (10 lines, 488B) at sial.org/pbot/19598
gaal let (n :: Int) should do
Limbic_Region I need to tell read what it is returning?
wolverian or use num somehow elsewhere that imposes a concrete type on it, I assume
Limbic_Region ok, let me try that
mauke or give getNums an explicit type 16:09
wolverian (or nums)
gaal ...which is the same thing :)
mauke getNums :: IO [Integer] or whatever
Limbic_Region except that now says I need extenstions gaal
will try it
gaal let's get it to work w/o extensions :)
16:10 Psyche^ joined
Limbic_Region it does indeed work with extensions now 16:10
so any help in avoiding the extensions would be useful to me
lumi Limbic_Region: Where did you put the type annotation?
Limbic_Region let (n :: Int) = read num
the example in YAHT prior to this didn't imply it was necessary but whatever 16:11
gaal hm, interesting that that hits the monomorphism restriction.
lumi I think it you give getNums a type, like mauke said, you'd not need extensions
mauke what happens if you use getNums :: IO [Integer] instead?
Limbic_Region let me try that
gaal lumi, mauke: yes, those don't hit the mm wall.
16:11 vel joined
lumi gaal: Does it? how? 16:11
gaal lumi: that's what I'm finding interesting, or in other words, what I am yet to figure out. :) 16:12
ahhhh no
it isn't
Limbic_Region lumi - Illegal signature in pattern: IO [Integer]
gaal it
lumi I think it's just a ghc syntax extension?
Limbic_Region and it says to use extensions to fix it 16:13
gaal 's simply that
right.
yes
mauke Limbic_Region: whoa, where did you put that?
Limbic_Region so I would rather use the let (n :: Int) = read num
since *that* makes sense to me
mauke - getNums :: IO [Integer] = do
mauke ah, no
gaal so, Limbic_Region, for pugsy purposes, you can always say let (n :: Int)
Limbic_Region oh, in the assignment then?
makes sense
Limbic_Region fiddles some more
mauke getNums :: IO [Integer]; getNums = ...
it's an extra line
gaal but the point about these being eventually all equivalent - 16:14
what mauke and wolverian and lumi suggested
that's a pretty important point about haskell, viz... it has type inference! :)
Limbic_Region yay mauke
mauke Limbic_Region: alternatively, let n = read num :: Integer 16:15
gaal wow, four different ways of hinting the same thing
Limbic_Region oh, so Integer is built in but Int requires extensions
mauke no
gaal Limbic_Region: once you 'get' typeclasses you'll see why the hint was necessary
mauke you just can't put type annotations on the lhs of =
Limbic_Region gaal - once I "get" to that part in YAHT, I am sure I will 16:16
mauke - danke
mauke Int is a fixed-width integer type, Integer is bigint
gaal this needing an extension is a not-very-profound syntactic thing, I think.
Limbic_Region moves on to the second part of the exercise which is summing, producting, and factorialing the numbers in the array
gaal Limbic_Region: and, if you'd have conflicting types, say [Integer] in the let and [Int] in nums, the compiler would yell. 16:17
lumi How does ghci pick a numeric type?
gaal (try it!)
default default?
mauke read uses the context it's used in to determine the conversion it uses
type annotations tell the compiler about what type is expected from read 16:18
lumi Yeah, a default type.. f'rex, "1" in ghci doesn't blow up :P

Limbic_Region grrr 16:30
ok - so I know how to work around my current problem but I would rather know how to fix it proper 16:31
gaal which problem?
Limbic_Region same code as before - but once I have collected nums <- getNums
I want to call a function showOutput nums
but it is whining about mismatched type and inferred (IO) type 16:32
mauke show code/errors
gaal from my experience, GHC does not usually whine. It rolls its eyes at your mistakes. 16:33
pasteling "Limbic_Region" at 129.33.119.12 pasted "New problems with my YAHT exercise" (36 lines, 902B) at sial.org/pbot/19600
mauke showOutput is broken 16:34
what is its type?
Limbic_Region it isn't going to return anything so I guess it is void
ahh, but it is not pure 16:35
mauke there is no void
Limbic_Region wait, yes it is
gaal something that just has effects is IO ()
just like main
but showOutput is not arity 0
Limbic_Region all it is going to do is print out some statistics on nums
gaal so it can't be just showOutput :: IO () 16:36
because it reveices the numbers.
brb
Limbic_Region k
the simple solution btw is just to put the printing out of statistics in main
and put it all in one big do block
mauke Limbic_Region: write down its type, it helps :-)
Limbic_Region mauke - I don't know its type
it doesn't help
16:37 amnesiac_ is now known as amnesiac
mauke ok, it's a function taking one argument, so it's something like foo -> bar 16:37
the argument is a list of numbers, so foo = [Integer]
the return type is the same as putStrLn's 16:38
Limbic_Region ahh duh
so why doesn't main require the same?
mauke huh?
Limbic_Region I guess what I am trying to say is it is not clear to me when I have to specify types and when I don't 16:39
mauke you (almost) never have to
in this case you might notice that [] isn't an IO ()
the compiler complains because the two definitions return different types
Limbic_Region well, then I am seriously messing this introductory exercise up
Juerd dist-upgrades feather
Limbic_Region: Don't worry; apache isn't in the upgrades list. 16:40
mauke Limbic_Region: hmm, why do you need to distinguish between [] and (x : xs) anyway? 16:41
Limbic_Region thanks Juerd
mauke - ignore that as copy/paste
mauke - so let's take a step back and explain what I am trying to do instead of showing the code that I am trying to do it with
mauke ok
Limbic_Region step 1: obtain from stdin, a list of ints (1 at a time) terminating when 0 is entered 16:42
gaal (which you already know how to do) 16:43
Limbic_Region note that my use of list versus array and ints versus Integers is not intentional - I am just trying to explain what's going on as simple as possible
step 2 pass that list to a function that will then print out some statistics on it
that's it
gaal Limbic_Region: I think you're on the right track
and that mauke is correct, the type will help you 16:44
Limbic_Region gaal - I can't be
gaal as will understanding the structure of the error message
Couldn't match expected type `[a]' against inferred type `IO ()'
Limbic_Region unless YAHT would expect me to catapult way ahead of what has already been shown
every exercise up to this point didn't require any knowledge beyond what had already been presented
gaal this message means something informative
Limbic_Region gaal - I get that 16:45
I know I could make it work but there has to be something simpler I am missing
gaal it says that you have an expression, its type really is IO ()
Limbic_Region perhaps the intention then is for the student just to put everything in the main do blcok
gaal that expression is: putStrLn "The sum is: "
mauke Limbic_Region: I don't get what the problem is, actually
gaal but something else forces GHC to expect a different type of that expression 16:46
mauke Limbic_Region: you just have to define showOutput and it'll work
gaal that something else is the other declaration of showOutput, which *must* be of type [a]
Limbic_Region mauke - perhaps you missed the part where I said the exercises don't expect you (or at least haven't so far) to have knowledge beyond what has already been taught
gaal sorry, the expression returned by the first declaration 16:47
Limbic_Region meaning there should be a simpler way to tackle this exercise that I am missing
mauke I don't know what's been taught so far
what do you mean by "simpler"?
Limbic_Region very little
gaal Limbic_Region: don't panic. you really are on the right haskell track, even if YAHT had a different idea.
Limbic_Region mauke - fewer functional calls would be my guess - wrapping everything up in main
ok - so then what should showOutput's type be? 16:48
gaal first, reconcile the two declarations
showOutput [] = [] is clearly wrong, because why do you need to return an empty list?
mauke Limbic_Region: informal type: bunch of ints -> IO something
Limbic_Region gaal - copy/paste issue, removed locally 16:49
gaal now (maybe YAHT didn't tell you this, but) main has the type main :: IO ()
mauke e.g. showOutput xs = do putStrLn "hi2u" should compile and work
Limbic_Region woah
Limbic_Region appears not to have been modifying the same file as was getting loaded 16:50
gaal you need something that returns IO (), but as you already know, accepts a list of stuff
Limbic_Region I quit ghci, restarted, and everything is working
gaal in your code, that's [Integer]
Limbic_Region: okay, good: now do
:t showOutput
Limbic_Region gaal - wait
let me play a little more on my own 16:51
I learn better that way
will ping again if I run into more problems
gaal yay
mauke btw, if you just want to print something (think Data::Dumper), you can use print whatever
Limbic_Region ok, I am still lost 16:54
16:54 vel joined
Limbic_Region nums is of type nums <- getNums :: IO [Integer] 16:54
I am going to pass nums to showOutput
showOutput really isn't going to return anything so IO () 16:55
but I still don't know the right type signature
wolverian nums's type should be [Integer], not IO [Integer]
mauke of showOutput? [Integer] -> IO ()
but ghci should tell you that with :t showOutput 16:56

Limbic_Region mauke - tried that from gaal's suggestion - Numbers.hs:22:21: parse error on input `->' 16:57

mauke what's line 22?
ok
gaal Limbic_Region: when you say x <- someFunc

mauke Limbic_Region: first, change (x : xs) to ns 17:03
gaal first of all, it's not [t], it's concretely [Integer]

Limbic_Region gaal, mauke, wolverian - not sure if my nopaste made it to the channel, but I would be very appreciative if any of you could find the time to help haskell-fy my code
it works and produces the correct output but it feels wrong in several places
gaal 20:39 < gaal> L~R, narrow the Q a bit?
ah, you mean stylistic cleanup?
rodi TreyHarris: that was the hope :-D 17:41
Limbic_Region well, for instance - using length(xs) to terminate the loop
gaal - taking the task at hand, feel free to just write it from scratch (should take far fewer lines that I have used anyway)
rodi I still feel naughty whenever I'm editing anything critical ;)
Limbic_Region s/loop/recursion/
wolverian Limbic_Region, first, don't write foo(bar). it's confusing. haskell doesn't need parens to call functions. 17:42
gaal since xs is a list, 'null xs' is a fair edit
mauke Limbic_Region: working on it :-)
Limbic_Region wolverian - except when it does
wolverian Limbic_Region, right. but fac(n - 1) looks weird anyway.
Limbic_Region i.e. when you have one function that is supposed to work on the return of another function
but point taken
wolverian fac (n-1) or fac $ n-1 :) 17:43
gaal Limbic_Region: the point is that it's better to write
that :)
xerox fac . subtract 1 $ n
:P
wolverian heh 17:44
gaal in fact, there are even some gotchas with putting some things together, eg, if you get into the habit of using $, always surround it with spaces
wolverian fax $ pred n
er.. fac
xerox hehe
gaal one day you'll write Template Haskell and get weird errors otherwise
wolverian you shouldn't use $ too much, either. use . whenever you can instead of $ 17:45
Limbic_Region heh
xerox . is nice because it makes compositions simpler to refactor.
wolverian right.
Limbic_Region remember all the "I don't think I should have to be doing all this type stuff yet cause we haven't gotten to it in YAHT"
gaal as for showFactorials, if it weren't for the putStrLn inside it, you could surely nicefy it
Limbic_Region this is the last exercise in chap 3
chap 4 is introduction to types 17:46
;-)
wolverian you don't need to think about types as long as your code is correct. ;)
gaal so, Limbic_Region, pull the print out of it, and make it just construct a list of strings, and print THAT.
Limbic_Region gaal - please, rather than describing what I should do - please provide code snippet
gaal that's a transformation you can do easily (but not as cheaply!) in perl
xerox wolverian: errrr.
gaal well, you have [Integer] -> [String] 17:47
xerox Limbic_Region: code for what?
gaal sounds like a map :)

but how does one "print that"
gaal then you can just 17:49
putStrLn $ concat $ facMessages ns
in showOutput
mauke see my code :-)
gaal concat is simply 'join "\n", @list'
er 17:50
Limbic_Region ok, so IOW, it is stuff that I haven't learned yet
gaal join "", #list
well don't worry, this is just vocabulary
Limbic_Region no worries, I am sure I will get to it eventually
gaal map is just like Perl
only lazy
mauke perl's map is concatMap
Limbic_Region if the only serious critique of the code is that I didn't use simpler features I don't know about yet - I can't complain

Limbic_Region is betting it is a system() command
TreyHarris so i have to work backwards
18:17 larsen joined
TreyHarris hm. "Setup: cannot satisfy dependency mtl-any" 18:17
what's mtl-any?
SamB should be any version of the mtl 18:20
Limbic_Region TreyHarris - you didn't build with the packages
when you downloaded the source - the extra libs were in a separate tarball
you can build mtl and network (also required) individually
or you can rebuild 6.5 after untarring the extralibs (the build automatically builds them if present) 18:21
SamB or if you got it from darcs, you didn't ask darcs-all for the extra libs
Limbic_Region if you want to do it by hand for just those 2 packages, I can walk you through it
what SamB said if using darcs
TreyHarris Limbic_Region: cool. ok, downloading the tarball
Limbic_Region has been through this himself ;-)
18:22 mauke_ is now known as mauke
Limbic_Region TreyHarris - ever use Cabal to build packages in ghc? 18:22
SamB I wasn't, but I grabbed ghc from darcs just before darcs-all stopped grabbing all the libs by default...
TreyHarris Limbic_Region: my entire experience with ghc is building pugs, building darcs, and typing stuff into ghci :-)
Limbic_Region the short route is just to do that - maybe 10 minutes or less.
well, I know much more about the ghc build process than the language itself 18:23
but I am trying to rectify that now too
TreyHarris ok, so I untar this into my existing ghc src dir?
Limbic_Region will point you to how to build the 2 packages you need
TreyHarris - if you are just building the packages by hand - dump it anywhere
if you are planning on rebuilding ghc from source - yes
SamB if you have already got GHC built, and haven't gotten rid of any of the intermediate files, it should be fairly quick to just rebuild it with those in place... 18:24
TreyHarris well, i already untarred it there. i'd rather not rebuild everything unless there's a distinct advantage to doing so
Limbic_Region SamB - not really
SamB Limbic_Region: hmm?
Limbic_Region or rather - it will be faster than a from scratch build but not nearly as fast as just building those 2 packages
that's because of the 2 stage build process
SamB hmm
Limbic_Region at least from my experience 18:25
TreyHarris - 2 seconds and I will give you a link to build just those 2 packages
SamB I bet you can tell it to just build the libraries, probably you can even tell it to just build those two...
TreyHarris Limbic_Region: so my stupid way would be to go into those two libraries/, (./configure, make for each), then go back to the top level, rm compiler/stage2/ghc-6.5*, and make
Limbic_Region TreyHarris - that won't work
that's what I tried - you need to use Cabal 18:26
see paste.lisp.org/display/25124
start at the line with mtl and network
it gives you the 3 cabal commands to configure, build, install
and since mtl doesn't come with a Setup.hs - you need to create one - I provided a template in that paste 18:27
SamB - If there is a smarter way (which I am sure there is), I am just unaware of it
TreyHarris pwd
oops
SamB heh
Limbic_Region at least it wasn't your root password 18:28
SamB /home/perl6
$
the best technique is to have built with the mtl in the first place ;-) 18:29
Limbic_Region SamB - though come to think of it, while using darcs to checkout changes and build - I have yet to see just a change in an extralib to note the build time
perhaps it is as you say and I am just blind by my limited experience 18:30

svnbot6 r13189 | putter++ | INSTALL - mention "Perl5 is now embedded by default. Use "-perl5" to avoid.". 18:30
SamB well, to be sure it takes some time for GHC's makefiles to go through their recursion and find nothing to do... 18:31
TreyHarris just network and mtl?
Limbic_Region yes
SamB wishes mtl wasn't one of the extralibs
TreyHarris ok. so should i clean and/or remakefile pugs?
what is mtl? 18:32
SamB thinks this could lead to vicious cycles
Limbic_Region SamB - from what I was told, it was a close call
TreyHarris - you can just try make but you know my policy
TreyHarris ghc-6.5.20060910: unknown package: pugs-filepath-0.1
SamB well, its nice to know that it was close to being included. perhaps they will do it differently in the future...
Limbic_Region SamB - I think I convinced the powers that be to include the extralibs in Win32 by default though 18:33
TreyHarris i'll try clean
SamB okay, that is kinda important
or, at least, they should be built
Limbic_Region SamB - when the .msi (true binary build) comes out, I suspect they will still separate them 18:34
but have both available
SamB they have a false binary build as well?
TreyHarris so what is "?=?", anyway? did TimToady mean to type ">>=<<"? (sorry, can't type non-ascii chars on irc)
Limbic_Region TreyHarris - there may also be an issue with third-party, what version were you upgrading from?
TreyHarris Limbic_Region: 6.4.2
Limbic_Region SamB - meaning just a tarball
SamB Limbic_Region: that is binary enough!
it just isn't terribly convenient
Limbic_Region SamB - hrm, how can I put this. The tarball was b0rk and has been b0rk for some time 18:35
SamB ah
Limbic_Region I should have said "real", I should have said verified or true or something implying non-beta
SamB okay, so a *working* binary build...
Limbic_Region yes

TreyHarris TimToady: odd, I'm using a terminal that usually has no problem with UTF8... 19:03
if i switch it to Latin-1, it works. I thought UTF8 collapses to Latin-1 19:04
avar Latin-1 is a subset of unicode, not utf-8 19:05
TreyHarris oh
so what do i set my terminal to so that "less -r t/syntax/unicode.t" and Larry's message in Latin-1 will both display? 19:06
or is that impossible?
avar It is not possibly unless you presume certain things about your imput 19:07
which you might set your terminal to do
TreyHarris ah, i see. hrm. i don't know what the correct thing to set my terminal to is 19:08
avar You could do what I do, run a utf-8 ship and convert other input to it on demand
TreyHarris avar: ah, any idea how to do that in Pine?
avar Are you sure pine cares about encodings? 19:09
in that way it is
most command line programs just eat what your shell spits at them
so you probably just want to set your shell to utf-8
TreyHarris my shell? i use zsh 19:12
TimToady hmm, haven't used pine in a while, but mutt will automatically convert to utf8 if your terminal is in utf8 mode.
TreyHarris how do I do that?
avar zsh did not support utf-8 the last time I tried it
TreyHarris ah. :-( i've been a zsh user for far too long to change now 19:13
and all this time i thought i was seeing what i was looking at
avar It *might* support it 19:14
look man, don't belive the crazy man on IRC
TreyHarris lol, no, it's clear that i'm not seeing what i think i am, since "t/syntax/unicode.t" displays perfectly, including the qqw characters, and Larry's message doesn't 19:16
TimToady Does your pine delegate the display of the message to less? 19:18
TreyHarris TimToady: no. from its config menu, it claims to do automatic conversion between UTF-8 and other supported sets. and Latin-1 is supported, because if i change my terminal and pine to it, it displays (though granted it's just a passthrough then) 19:19
Limbic_Region gaal - only one is in blib6/lib but killing anyway
TreyHarris but i wonder if the UTF-8 support is more of a hope than a promise
SamB um... shells don't feed stdin...
19:20 jferrero joined
SamB or anything of that nature... 19:20
TreyHarris SamB: that's what I thought, but I figured someone whose name is not in the ASCII charset would be very aware of these issues :-)
TimToady it's also possible that some MTA clobbered it at some point along the way.
does the header include the line Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 19:21
TreyHarris TimToady: no, if I save it raw, it's definitely latin-1. and it goes from ?=? to the correct thing (sorry, i can see utf8, but can't type ;-) as i switch the window back and forth from utf8 to latin-1
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1", yes indeed
TimToady well, something's not paying attention to it that should, then... 19:22
TreyHarris it also gives me a message, "The following text is in the "iso-8859-1" character set. Your display is set for the "UTF-8" character set. Some characters may be displayed incorrectly."
SamB or having trouble discerning what the terminal is doing...
oh. 19:23
TimToady that means "We punt--we're too stupid to do the right thing."
SamB okay, so something is an idiot that doesn't know how to convert utf-8 to latin1...
TreyHarris i'm betting that the conversion it claims to do from latin-1 to utf-8 simply isn't happening.
SamB: otherway around
SamB or, well, that too...
TimToady upgrade pine maybe?
SamB either way it is ridiculously easy!
TimToady or move to mutt, which is, I believe, a derivative of pine... 19:24
fglock TimToady: did you get my mail about YAPC::SA? I can resend it 19:25

Limbic_Region make smoke is calling util\yaml_harness.pl (which supports command line arguments) but make smoke doesn't honor them 19:54
I could easily modify the Makefile.PL to do so but I am not comfortable that I would be doing it "right"
for instance, by looking at an env ar 19:55
gaal Limbic_Region: hm, BEGIN { @ARGV = $ENV{somethingorother} if $ENV{somethingorother} } ?
Limbic_Region s/ar/var/
gaal do it in the harness, not in the makefile
Limbic_Region gaal - in Makefile.PL ?
wait, that doesn't make any sense 19:56
or rather, it seems like it would violate the principal of least suprise
gaal what doesn't?
what interface do you want it to have?
putter Sigh. And the downside of ! is of course that some shells (eg, sh), consider it special...
gaal make smoke harnessopts ? 19:57
Limbic_Region gaal - I would want it to treat it as a black box (which it would be if it was compiled)
gaal er
you want to pass it params
Limbic_Region gaal - IOW, if we didn't have the source to modify that which is being invoked, how would we solve it
gaal how would you want the param passing to look like?
SamB wouldn't you just use a Make variable? 19:58
Limbic_Region well, that's what I am unsure of, but it should be the make smoke -> $PERL util/yaml_harness.pl <options> <file> that should be changed
gaal Limbic_Region: changed how, on the make invocation line? on the makefile generation?
Limbic_Region gaal - behavior should be able to be changed without re-generating the makefile 19:59
however, a change to the makefile generation is necessary to get it to read
it may be as simple as setting a env variable which the generated makefile reads
gaal brb phone 20:00
Limbic_Region that way to run the smoke one way one time and another way another time it would be
export SMOKE_OPTION="foo"
make smoke
SMOKE_OPTION="bar"
make smoke
that's the way I would do it right now if I was locked in isolation (but thankfully I am not *yet*) 20:01
gaal and what's the argument in favor of putting the logic in the makefile rather than the harness? 20:06
Limbic_Region gaal - it is bass ackwards 20:08
gaal elaborate please
Limbic_Region the only reason why I would put it in the harness would be to support the make
anyone running it without the make could just specify the arguments
20:08 nothingmuch joined
gaal you are not providing a generic mechanism to turn env vars to rule args 20:09
you are adding functionality to help the yaml harness specifically
the complexity is roughly the same in either place
Limbic_Region I am not doing anything at the moment
putter any objections to -fperl5 ? Ie, gnu/ghc standard negative flag?
Limbic_Region I am asking what makes the most sense
fglock audreyt: ping
Limbic_Region and your suggestion just doesn't make much sense to me 20:10
the external program being invoked by the make works as designed
gaal Limbic_Region: I'm recommending the harness, because the makefile's complex as it is
Limbic_Region *shrug* 20:11
and what would you recommend if it was a perl script but a compiled executable we needed to invoke - one that only supported command line arguments? 20:12
gaal it will, of course, continue to work just fine the way it used to.
Limbic_Region except on Win32
gaal how's that?
Limbic_Region which hasn't been able to smoke for some time
there is a test that hangs
I could skip the test if I could pass in command line args to the harness
since the 7th judging by the smoke summary 20:13
gaal what? no, I'm saying that the begin block, which of course is a hack, doesn't preclude command line invocations that pass args explicitly.
Limbic_Region oh, no it doesn't
svnbot6 r13192 | putter++ | INSTALL, Makefile.PL - Replaced all advertising for PUGS_EMBED option "!perl5" with "-perl5". For consistency.
r13192 | putter++ | Both still work, but only "-perl5" is now advertised.
r13192 | putter++ | Makefile.PL was perviously advertising both.
r13192 | putter++ | "-perl5" is not ideal, looking like an option enabled.
r13192 | putter++ | "!perl5" interacts with shells.
Limbic_Region but it feels wrong to me
I understand your point about the makefile already being complex 20:14
gaal what would I recommend if this were an executable, all other things being equal? still changing the executable.
*compiled executable
assuming we had control over its source code, that is. 20:15
which does fall under "all other things being equal" :)
Limbic_Region well, my recommendation would be to find a way to autoconvert an env variable such as <make type>_cfg to pass those as arguments to the thing being called
that way we solve it once for any and all programs we might be invoking
of course <make type>_cfg is an oversimplification but... 20:16
gaal don't forget that the conversion probably needs to be done explicitly and portably for every invocation. 20:17
Limbic_Region gaal - well, if you look at the way the generated makefile handles this problem in other make types - it is as I am suggesting and not as you are suggesting
gaal perhaps this calls for 'use Getopt::Environmental qw(yaml_harness_opts)'
Limbic_Region err - nevermind, I misparsed $(PERL) -e "ENV->{PUGS_RUNTIME}=q+JSPERL5+; exec 20:18
gaal lord knows why you did that :)
Limbic_Region gaal - here is a valid reason why I think it should be solved in the make process 20:19
gaal yes?
Limbic_Region I run the smoke, it fails - I decide to skip the test
time passes
gaal z
Limbic_Region I want to determine if the problem has been fixed
I don't want to run the entire smoke so I run the harness manually 20:20
it skips the test reporting everything as a ok
oops - forgot to unset the env var
action at a distance
gaal we all agree env vars suck
but you could have forgotten to unset it when running make smoke, couldn't you? 20:21
Limbic_Region though I guess proper documentation could solve that
the difference being is that I would expect "special consideration for the make process" not to affect the normal operation of the utility
gaal anyway, that's solved with usage: 20:22
insetead of the modal setenv MOOSE elk ; make smoke
Limbic_Region I guess it is just a matter of perspective
Limbic_Region listens
gaal run env MOOSE=elk make smoke
which, granted, is missing on win32.
Limbic_Region there is no make magic to parse one part of the make one way and the rest as args? 20:23
make smoke='foo bar' ?
gaal - let's really go yak shaving, let's solve the problem by replacing make ;-)
gaal maybe some extensions have something like this
let's not go to camelot, 'tis a silly place. 20:24
lumi Doesn't make take parameters?
Limbic_Region actually - the proper way to solve this is likely to skip the test on win32 for now in the .t file itself 20:25
putter sigh. hello yak, old friend. The concept of [-!]perl5 was never propagated through Makefile. So the rest of it is mistesting with /\bperl5\b/.
Limbic_Region is leaving in a few but will think about it overnight
I also need to be working on incorporating Parallel::ForkManager into yaml_harness.pl so Win32 can do the smoke tests in parallel 20:26
gaal lumi: it does, but I'm not sure all makes treat them the same way.

TreyHarris i just realized i'm wayyyy out of date on my parrot build (like, 3+ weeks). how often do i need to recompile it to keep Pugs happy? 22:04
gaal @tell putter since [-!] is newer than the latest release, there's no public release-oriented deprecation to observe anyway 22:05

Limbic_Region so not often 22:13
there are other reason when too new or too old a parrot would be a problem
AFAIK, that is only when using parrot as the backend
TreyHarris Limbic_Region: thanks
Limbic_Region has never set PUGS_EMBED="parrot" so that's uncharted territory for me

TreyHarris r13188 here. hmm. "Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at util/run-smoke.pl line 71." hmm. i don't know how you suppress that warning when you do something like that: 's/(\.html?(\+)?)?$/.yml$2/'. besides no warnings i mean.... 22:18
TimToady: can you tell me if this is really the simplest way to do a "cross-product" type thing without resorting to nested for loops?

lanny Hi all. Got a question. I've implemented L<S29/sort> in perl6 for the prelude but pugs hasn't implemented a lot of the syntax yet. Should I post to perl6.compiler for mark-1 eyeball feedback or something else? 22:30
lambdabot lanny: You have 1 new message. '/msg lambdabot @messages' to read it.
TreyHarris lanny: does it parse and not work? or does it not even parse? 22:31
lanny Not even parse. An example of failure is: subset KeyExtractor of Code(Any --> Any); 22:32
pugs seems to not like the Any --> Any
or maybe it's the 'subset' part. 22:33
TreyHarris subset isn't even tested (!)
lanny That's my point. :) 22:34
TreyHarris people who were asking for something to do... *hint hint*
lanny: well, once it's been reviewed, I'd say check it into Prelude.pm inside a kwid block--there's other code like that currently disabled there. but not just for review, because updating it will cause a spurious rebuild 22:35
Limbic_Region lanny - first thing to do is write a failing test
reference the spec
lanny Was going to, Limbic, but that wouldn't progress me any on the other 180 lines or so. Was just curious how large chunks of non-parsing code are handled. 22:36
TreyHarris lanny: maybe make an "unspecced/sort.t" and include it there with its own tests (not the tests for subset, etc.), all todo'd, and check it in so we can have a look at it?
lanny I'll be writing up tests for the whole thing which should keep me busy for a while anyway.
TreyHarris email is not the best forum for code review. svn and irc is better, IMHO 22:37
Limbic_Region: My smoke is still in ext/, 30m later, so I don't think there's going to be any remarkable speedup :-/ 22:38
lanny So F<unspecced/sort.t> would have all the code and the tests to exercise it? 22:39
Limbic_Region TreyHarris - well, I had to start over because another wwwlib in ext is hanging
TreyHarris lanny: right, but put the actual unparsing routine in an eval_ok string
Limbic_Region: that happens to me on occasion, but not always. not sure what the deal is
lanny Well I'll just write a real test for those. subset is mentioned and so is using --> in signatures so those are easy to hang tests off of 22:40
TreyHarris care to implement alarm() or some other timeout mechanism? :-)
Limbic_Region well - it is affecting 2 different systems for me but I haven't bothered trying to track it down
lanny hah. Little steps first.
Limbic_Region actually - the harness is written in p5
TreyHarris lanny: yes, but you never want a test to blow up completely, because then the harness just gives up and we get whites instead of reds in the matrix 22:41
lanny Yep, Trey, I know the drill.
TreyHarris ok :-)
lanny But that's why I'm asking first to make sure. 22:42
TreyHarris lanny: sorry, didn't mean to be pedantic. we've just had some folks here who have never written tests for even regular old CPAN modules... it's hard to know how explicit to be :-)
lanny Wife calling me to supper. Thanks for the direction, gang.
markstos lanny: thanks for helping out! Are you new here, or have I just missed you since I've been hanging around ?
lanny I've been here about a week or so I think 22:43
TreyHarris markstos: he's been around at least a week or... oh, he's still here :-)
markstos glad to have you!
lanny Glad to be here.
Committing two tiny srand() tests gave me more satisfaction than I've had from my job in a long time so I think this is gonna be fun. 22:44
markstos :)

Limbic_Region wow - smoke time nearly 1 hour 23:41
markstos I found some tests for "true", but seemingly no spec mentions of it. 23:44
The tests all pass, though.
I notified p6l about "not" and "true" being missing from the spec. 23:47
I don't really see the need for "true"...I got by fine without it in Perl 5.
svnbot6 r13202 | markstos++ | [t/builtins/bool] 23:50
r13202 | markstos++ | Added smart link for defined.t. "not" and "true" appear not be spec'ed. p6l notified.
TreyHarris it's True and False (which should be a shorthand for the Bool::True and Bool::False enums as a Bool subtype), not true. and 'not' isn't specced because it's the same as perl 5, AFAIK 23:52
markstos I believed the Perl 6 spec to be comprehensive and self contained for the most part, not differences from Perl 5. 23:53
TreyHarris ohhh... i just looked at the test
true is the low-precedence form of ? 23:54
not is just like perl 5
markstos You shouldn't have read a Perl 5 reference to understand the Perl 6 reference. (if you want ignore rx:Perl5, use:Perl5, etc)
TreyHarris: I expect "not" is just like Perl 5, but it should still be in the spec somewhere.
TreyHarris markstos: take it up with TimToady et. al.... synopses have always been silent on what is the same (or obviously derived given other new things) from Perl 5 23:55
markstos TreyHarris: I did. I notified p6l earlier.

TimToady installing P5isms into the specs will probably entail major refactoring. 23:56
(of the specs)
putter (thus the Perl6 Reference Manual project was born...;) 23:57
lambdabot putter: You have 1 new message. '/msg lambdabot @messages' to read it.
TimToady incidentially, true and not are already documented in S03 23:58
at least in the precedence table
markstos TimToady: but isn't it a goal to have a self-contained reference? Perl 6 will appear to more people than those who care learn the Perl 5 spec, first.
TreyHarris TimToady: welcome back, by the way, I've been coming or you've been going every time thus far we've been on the channel at the same time today :-) 23:59
TimToady Certainly we want a self-contained references. It's just not clear that the S's will refactor into those in place.
