phenny wayland76: 08 Aug 19:34Z <nperez> tell wayland76 I am interested what the plan is for polling io handles (ie. select(2)) and am willing to be guided/mentored to do the work
nperez returns 02:07
wayland76 phenny: tell nperez There's currently no plan for pollig IO handles that I'm aware of. Part of the reason for this may be that the concurrency spec is a complete shemozzle, and the two will quite possibly interact.
phenny wayland76: I'll pass that on when nperez is around.
nperez I am working on writing an IO::Select class at the moment
phenny nperez: 02:07Z <wayland76> tell nperez There's currently no plan for pollig IO handles that I'm aware of. Part of the reason for this may be that the concurrency spec is a complete shemozzle, and the two will quite possibly interact.
wayland76 Ok, looks like I don't need to tell phennt :)
s/class/role/ ???
nperez just implementing the perl 5 IO::Select as a class. 02:08
wayland76 Ah, ok
nperez sockets can be polled in parrot land
and I plan on using that
wayland76 Has this been brought up on the mailing list at all?
nperez nah, just in here.
payload rakudo: sub foo { "fooo".subst(/o/, '') }; multi bar { "fooo".subst(/o/, ''); }; say foo; say bar; # evil 02:09
wayland76 Ok, do you want to put something on the mailing list asking for spec clarification, or shall I?
p6eval rakudo 39cc84: OUTPUT«foo␤Lexical '$/' not found␤in sub bar (/tmp/RjKI24ERPq:2)␤called from Main (/tmp/RjKI24ERPq:2)␤»
nperez I'm not interested in navigating the spec resolution. I just want a working select
wayland76 I also note that S32/IO says that the select function is "Gone"
nperez exactly
hence this class 02:10
wayland76 In other words, there's no plan to include it in P6
Ok, so you're intending this to be an external library?
alester Why does every conversation about Perl 6 have to be about competition?
nperez right now, yes
alester "They have missed the boat."
What boat is that?
nperez unfortunately, this IO::Select class will be parrot specific 02:11
rakudo specific, too since I will need to use the Q:PIR construct
wayland76 nperez: Ok, as an external library, I'm happy. But I'm completely unqualified to comment on select :). My contribution to the IO spec was moving stuff around, grouping and regularising it, not actually understanding what was going on
you may get more from Rakudo
Sorry 02:12
s/Rakudo/ruoso/
nperez Yeah, not understanding why select was removed
it is incredibly useful
wayland76 alester: Perl is the first Postmodern programming language. Other languages are still trapped in the Modern era :)
nperez: Example? 02:13
nperez erm, POE, heh
wayland76 Hmm, multiple tail -f, right?
nperez hard to write POE without select
wayland76 Have you seen the concurrency stuff that's been discussed in the past?
nperez in fact, multiplexing IO across multiple file descriptors is kind of hard to do without select
wayland76 With an event-based model underlying the threads?
nperez I have not seen that, but I find it rather odd to throw out select(2) functionality 02:14
wayland76 nperez: If I had to guess, I'd say the plan was to replace "Select" with something at a higher level, and use "select" under the hood
nperez: I think you should look at the concurrency stuff. I'll find you something appropriate. Justamo 02:15
Ok, looks at S17, in the Intro section before the "Overview" 02:16
There's a link there that explains what the plan is
nperez Not to knock on the concurrency stuff, but my goal is a naive port of POE to rakudo. POE exists now. POE uses select at it's core (outside of using other event loops).
Which is kind of why I want just plain old select :) 02:17
wayland76 I see your goal, but allow me to point out that P6 plans to have its own event loop
nperez That's fine. POE is more than just an event loop. It encapsulates event loops. 02:18
wayland76 So I guess I'm just suggesting that you keep that in mind as you pursue your goal
Ok, as long as you understand the situation, I'm happy
You may still be interested in discussing this with ruoso if you see him though. 02:19
nperez Sure
wayland76 I'm sure he understands the thinking behind the IO spec better than I do 02:20
But I doubt either of us originated the part that says that select is gone
Which is why I suggested the mailing list
Anyway, I hope all this helps some :)
nperez It sure does.
wayland76 Anyway, I gotta go, unless you have another particular question at the moment 02:21
nperez I'm good
wayland76 ok, great 02:22

__ash__ are state variables like static variables 02:30
missingthepoint __ash__: you mean static variables in C? 02:56
__ash__ yeah
a similar concept at least 02:57
missingthepoint i don't think so... (i could be wrong, i'm one of the newest folk around here) 03:05
have you seen perlcabal.org/syn/S03.html ? The bit under "Declarators"?
03:06 agentzh joined 03:10 agentzh left
__ash__ svn.pugscode.org/pugs/examples/cashiers.pl is what gave me that impression 03:10
03:10 agentzh joined
__ash__ in function gen_cashier; the variable 'state $cash_in_store' retains its value if you call the function multiple times, so at least in that sense its functioning similar to a static variable in C 03:11
03:12 agentzh1 left 03:14 agentzh left, agentzh joined
missingthepoint ok, that's true... but the scoping is note the same 03:15
*not
03:15 agentzh left
__ash__ missingthepoint: i found it, perlcabal.org/syn/S04.html "There is a new state declarator that introduces a lexically scoped variable like my does, but with a lifetime that persists for the life of the closure, so that it keeps its value from the end of one call to the beginning of the next. Separate clones of the closure get separate state variables." so in a sub, as long as you don't clone the sub it will have the same value 03:15
03:15 agentzh joined
missingthepoint if by "sub" you mean "closure" ;) 03:17
__ash__ a sub is a closure, or a form of one 03:18

missingthepoint __ash__: is there anything else i can "help" with? (you figured that one out yourself ;) 03:32
__ash__ have you done anything with the grammar stuff? 03:33
missingthepoint not really, what are you trying to do?
(it's ok to ask beginner questions in here... it helps as a matter of fact, so just go ahead and ask...) 03:35
__ash__ i want to fix the problem with classes not being able to explcitly call composed objects (like calling self.Foo.bar within a method) 03:37
its not implemented in rakudo yet 03:38
03:38 sri_kraih joined
__ash__ see spec S12-class/inheritence.t 03:39
03:39 mepplock joined
__ash__ it has what i am refeering too 03:39
if i am not mistaken, thats a grammar + object composition issue
look at line 20, super_baz has the functionalty thats currently not implemented 03:40
03:41 meppl left 03:42 molaf joined, mepplock is now known as meppl
__ash__ if you want to help me out that would be great, i am still learning my way around the interior of perl 6 03:42
missingthepoint ah, in method super_baz()? 03:44
__ash__ yeah
my syntax above was off, sorry, it should be self.Foo::bar();
missingthepoint no problem :) 03:45
03:45 molaf left
missingthepoint have you got the latest rakudo revision checked out? 03:46
__ash__ yup
03:46 frew joined
missingthepoint have you done a "make spectest"? 03:47
__ash__ yup
missingthepoint ok, you can now go to rakudo<whatever>/t/spec/S12-class/inheritance.rakudo 03:48
the test for that is skipped with note "method resolution bug"
so, you probably want to look in the bug tracker for notes on the bug
mikehh_ rakudo (39cc848) builds on parrot r40476 make test/make spectest (up to 27938) PASS - Ubuntu 9.04 amd64 03:51
03:51 synth left, synth joined
__ash__ where is the bug tracker for perl 6, i haven't been able to find it yet 03:52
missingthepoint __ash__: it's at rt.perl.org/rt3/Public/?nossl=true, more or less :) 03:53
(choose queue)
__ash__ rt.perl.org/rt3/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=46665 guess thats what they were referring too 03:55
missingthepoint __ash__: concur
(i can't find anything closer to "method resolution bug"... RT is less than awesome.) 03:56
got parrot skills? :) 03:57
__ash__ i was planning on building some by working on this issue :P 03:58
missingthepoint :D
go right ahead... :(
err, :) (i can't type today)
__ash__ one question, thats kinda stupid, i have seen a few files with .p6 but most with .pl is there a preferred extension for perl 6? 03:59
missingthepoint i can't vouch for #parrot, but i imagine they'd offer some assistance if you pop over there and ask for a few pointers
.pl seems to be the de facto standard 04:00
(that's actually an interesting question, because it implies the question "is Perl 6 still Perl?") 04:01
__ash__ well, with use v5 and use v6; it is :P at least some times
missingthepoint :) 04:02
__ash__ the parrot irc server hates me btw, it never lets me connect
04:03 nihiliad left, nihiliad joined
__ash__ oh it actually let me on for once, nm 04:05
04:06 Jedai left
missingthepoint i was wondering what extension to give my files too :) 04:07
i've settled for .pl, which reveals which side of that question i come down on 04:08
i see it like so - if you have a narrow view of "Perl", you could argue the difference between Perl <= 5 and Perl 6 is that it changed from a runtime to a specification 04:10
but if you have a wide view of "Perl" - i.e., it's a community - then Perl 6 is still Perl
I go with the latter :)
__ash__ hm... the error message you get when you call the methods like that seems to be coming from parrot, not any of the perl 6 stuff 04:11
missingthepoint what errmsg?
__ash__ Method '%Ss' not found for invocant of class '%Ss' 04:12
missingthepoint that would confirm the diagnosis of RT #46665
__ash__ which is thrown when the methods don't exist in the objects vtable
04:13 agentzh left 04:18 nihiliad left, nihiliad joined
missingthepoint *tend to confirm 04:19
__ash__ missingthepoint: well, this is related to parrot more so than perl, i wonder how vtables work in parrot 04:20
they have tests for overriding a method from a parent in a child, but not explcitily calling a parents method from a child (IE like super)
i think i am going to ask on the mailing list if they have a specification for calling parent object methods explicitly 04:24
missingthepoint __ash__: might like to look at docs.parrot.org/parrot/latest/html/...q.pod.html first 04:30
__ash__ docs.parrot.org/parrot/latest/html/...s.pod.html i am reading this 04:31
which defines how objects should work
missingthepoint ah, no problem
__ash__ so far i haven't seen anyhting defining how calling a parent's method works
missingthepoint my guess would be, "if not in the design docs, ask on mailing list"
__ash__ my thoughts exactly 04:32
yeah i don't see it in there
missingthepoint or perhaps in IRC (if you can get it working) 04:35
__ash__ i got irc working, but it seems very quiet, i don't think many people are on at the moment so i figured the mailing list would probably work
missingthepoint maybe give it a few hours, not sure of your localtime, but i find things pick up around here when western europe wakes up :) 04:37
that may be the same for #parrot
__ash__ yeah i wouldn't be surprised
missingthepoint i'll be waking up about the same time as western europe :P 04:38
04:39 eMaX left
__ash__ i'll be at work then, but maybe i can hop on and not get to distracted in here :P 04:39

07:58 jferrero joined
frettled I wonder about one thing regarding stringification of hashes: 07:58
say %hash; -> not-so-pretty-printed contents of the hash, each key+value pair printed, but with no obvious separation. 07:59
say ~%hash; -> pretty-printed contents of the hash, each key+value pair printed on separate lines.
mberends I knew you were going to ask that ;) I think the magic might be in the Str method of the Hash class 08:00
frettled Would it be correct to say that with 􏿽xABsay %hash􏿽xBB, the hash is stringified as a single item, while 􏿽xABsay ~%hash􏿽xBB stringifies and 􏿽xABsays􏿽xBB each hash element?
moritz_ that's because a hash in list context returns its pairs
08:00 Jedai left
moritz_ and say() doesn't insert anything between list items 08:01
(which would be a stupid default)
frettled Ahaha!
moritz_ you should observe the same with lists
rakudo: say <3 4 5>
rakudo: say ~<3 4 5>
p6eval rakudo 39cc84: OUTPUT«345␤»

frettled The interesting thing here is the whitespace between the key and value
moritz_ it's a \t
rakudo: (~:a<b>).perl
frettled Yes, but it also means that it's not entirely treating it in list context, doesn't it?
moritz_ rakudo: say (~:a<b>).perl 08:04
p6eval rakudo 39cc84: ( no output )
rakudo 39cc84: OUTPUT«"a\tb"␤»
moritz_ frettled: it just means that Pair objects don't flatten in list context
frettled moritz_: ah. that's an good explanation.
moritz_ %h.list doesn't return the keys and values interleaved, but instead a List of Pair objects
that's different from Perl 5 08:05
and very handy
frettled Yes, definitely.
It was one of my pet peeves with Perl 5.
I also never could quite remember the shorthand for creating a hash from two lists. In Perl 6, it's just so trivial. 08:06
Matt-W Perl 6 handles hashes much more sensibly :)
frettled I think a fair way of putting it is to say that Perl 6 handles hashes and objects as first class citizens. 08:07
mberends but list separated its elements with space, and hash with newline: 08:10
rakudo: my %foo = <bar baz> Z <gazonk frobble>; say ~(%foo.list);
p6eval rakudo 39cc84: OUTPUT«baz frobble bar gazonk␤»
mberends no newline like hash gave us :( 08:11
frettled hmm. 08:12
Matt-W I must admit I always tend to write my own output routines 08:13
mberends the separator seems to be hardwired into Hash or List
Matt-W In Perl 5 I was never sure of the default rendering rules
frettled rakudo: my %foo = <bar baz> Z <gazonk frobble>; print ~(%foo.list); print ~%foo;
p6eval rakudo 39cc84: OUTPUT«baz frobble bar gazonkbaz frobble␤bar gazonk␤»
Matt-W and .join is so easy
frettled mberends: yes, it appears to be fundamental to the stringification 08:14
mberends you can roll your own stringification by overriding Str in a class

frettled But this wouldn't work without explicitly declaring as Str, or in values implicit in hashes, right? 08:27
mberends the \t comes from rakudo/src/classes/Pair.pir:42, dunno about the \n
08:35 kane_ left
frettled Hmm, that complicates matters a tad. But as Matt-W observes, it's rather easy to roll your own pretty-printing, and perhaps more so now than before. 08:37
moritz_ you can provide your own .fmt
Matt-W I've been just doing things like @list.join(', ').say; 08:42
moritz_ which is a very sensible thing to do :-) 08:43
Matt-W or you could feed it to Form.pm :)
some of that does actually work
frettled moritz_: Ah, so there's a .fmt, neat!
moritz_ one step closer to world domination: Tim offered me commit access to the java2perl6 repo on which some of the dbdi work will be based on 08:44
Matt-W :)
hurrah
japhb moritz_: yay! 08:45
frettled java2perl6? Is that a score? (Java 2 - Perl 6)
Su-Shee moritz_: for a shiny DBI running, I'll make you home made organic chocolate truffles. :)
moritz_ frettled: it's a header translater 08:46
frettled A DBI that automagically creates classes based on SQL queries! ;)
masak frettled: it's the relative amounts of the two ingredients in a new, frightening hybrid language.
moritz_ Su-Shee: I'll take your word for it
frettled: actually it's used to convert the Java ODBC classes to Perl 6
because the parrot dbdi will use ODBC's API for driver backends internally 08:47
frettled masak: /o\ 08:48
Su-Shee this only means that it is modeled after odbc not that I need java to run perl 6 dbi?
moritz_ Su-Shee: right
japhb I thought that was 'JDBC'?
frettled moritz_: aha. What happens to database library specific extensions?
moritz_ Su-Shee: and I hope that the Perl 6 frontend will be as simple as the Perl 5 one 08:49
frettled or preferably far simpler
moritz_ japhb: could also be, I'm not sure
far simpler? how so?
Matt-W moritz_: I'm sure it will be
if it's not, we'll have to fix it
moritz_ anyay, I just started to dig into the whole stuff
and I'm happy to report more when I grok a bit more of it 08:50
frettled moritz_: If we're looking at DBI's paradigm, then it's pretty confusing.
I don't think it's a very good model for doing stuff.
moritz_ frettled: I found the API very intuitive.
one thing I'd surely like to have is named placeholders in SQL that can be used with named params in Perl 6 08:51
Su-Shee frettled: on the other hand: does it really matter wether it's DBI old style or *dbc as long as it's nice and smooth to use?
08:51 iblechbot joined
Matt-W moritz_: that should be eminently possible 08:51
moritz_ but I don't know if the databases support this
Matt-W who cares?
frettled Su-Shee: I think it matters that it's nice and smooth to use, and that DBI old style _isn't_ nice or smooth.
Su-Shee moritz_: isn't that a driver problem than?
Matt-W we can translate them into positional placeholders in the Perl 6 layer
and then just feed them in the same way that Perl 5's DBI does 08:52
japhb Su-Shee: The JDBC thing is only for the DBDI -- the DataBase Driver Interface. DBDI != DBI. DBDI is the interface between DBI and the low-level system driver. DBI is the interface presented to Perl 6.
moritz_ Matt-W: which implies SQL parsing... don't know if I like that
08:52 cookys left
moritz_ so DBDI = the new DBD? 08:52
japhb Perl 6 <-> DBI <-> DBDI <-> DBD, IIRC 08:53
Matt-W moritz_: if you pick the right syntax for the named placeholders, you don't have to parse the SQL completely

Matt-W moritz_: although I'm just assuming such a syntax is findable
Su-Shee japhb: so a mysql db api chain looks perl 6 - dbi - dbdi - mysql driver?
moritz_ Matt-W: you still have to know if it's used inside quotes or not
japhb Su-Shee: exactly
Matt-W moritz_: you still don't have to comprehend the entire statement to find quotes 08:54
moritz_ Matt-W: ok, good point
Matt-W Maybe it's a tougher problem than I'm envisaging 08:57
But I think it might well be possible
frettled Matt-W: Are you thinking of bound parameters (SELECT foo FROM bar WHERE gazonk = ? AND frobble = ?) ? 09:03
moritz_ right
but instead of just positional, I want named 09:04
frettled mm
so would I!
moritz_ WHERE gazonk = :gaz AND frobble = :frob
$sth.execute(:gaz(42), :frob(23))
odkit.sourceforge.net/?q=node/18 oracle seems to support that 09:05
Matt-W yes, oracle does support it 09:14
it's about oracle's only good feature that I've ever found
Su-Shee the apress sqlite book also mentions it. 09:15
(not the oracle stuff :)
moritz_ DBD::Pg also mentions named placeholders 09:17
so, perfect world an all
frettled moritz_: and perhaps there could be a way to magick it with databases that don't support it. 09:19
09:20 zamolxes joined
moritz_ frettled: maybe. But that's low priority for me 09:20
Su-Shee well depends.. mysql is an important db and extremely common. 09:21
frettled unfortunately, yes. :D
In a more positive light: MySQL challenges our beliefs of how a database should be, and keeps us on our toes. 09:22
moritz_ likes that statement
Matt-W doesn't challenge mine 09:23
it's the only one I actually ever used properly
so all other databases continually surprise me with their fancy stored procedures and named placeholders
and subqueries
frettled and features like e.g. partitioning?
moritz_ for small scale stuff you don't need that 09:24

Matt-W that wouldn't necessarily be anything to do with that
you could stick stuff in in any order at insert time, and still display a stable order between changes 13:40

Matt-W frettled: Perl 5 never had a defined behaviour for order of such things, hashes just don't work that way 13:59
frettled: you'll find the same for hash-based data structures in pretty much any language 14:00
frettled Matt-W: yes, I know that.
Typically, 􏿽xABhash􏿽xBB might imply that you used a hashing algorithm (well, gee :)) to figure it out.
􏿽xABDefined behaviour􏿽xBB would then be a specification saying that hash indexes are created using a hashing algorithm. 14:01
Aha, there is something under 􏿽xABAutosorted hashes􏿽xBB in S09: 14:02
Matt-W What about 'hashes are unordered'
frettled 􏿽xABThe downside to making a hash autosort via the iterator is that you'd have to store all the keys in sorted order, and resort it when the hash changes. Alternately, the entire hash could be tied to an ISAM implementation (not included (XXX or should it be?)).􏿽xBB
moritz_ frettled: some things are defined by not defining them....
frettled Matt-W: that wouldn't be entirely correct either. :) 14:03
Matt-W Or 'The order of items in a hash is stable as long as the hash is not changed, but otherwise nonspecific.'
frettled moritz_: yes, well, sort of.
moritz_ frettled: ie by not fixing an order, we leave the implementations free to use a random order
Matt-W frettled: the ordering of a hash is of no concern to the people using it - as far as they are concerned, it's unordered, because the ordering could be anything at all
masak is reminded of the programming language 'Sorted!'
Matt-W if you make no promises about the ordering, you can do what you like with it
moritz_ frettled: note that pugs preserves (to a certain degree) insertion order, which was perfectly valid - just confusing, because you couldn't rely on it

Matt-W: quite.

Matt-W it doesn't matter if rakudo does or doesn't

frettled moritz_: This question came up as a result of an example I blogged about, where I zip monthnames and days-in-month. The order is always the same.
Matt-W: yes, that's the only promise. 14:07

moritz_ frettled: that's not insertion order.
it seems they are somehow sorted, but not in insertion order 14:12
frettled moritz_: well, "a".."z" is a lazy list, so you generate the list of keys simultaneously. The order of the list is given from element 0 to 25, which is "a".."z", and that initializes the hash. 14:13

frettled: I agree it's a useful addition - feel free to add it 14:17

14:28 szabgab left
masak takadonet: github.com/masak/html-template/tree/master 14:29
pmichaud alester: "Rakudo Star" is a working name.
takadonet Masak: thanks
masak takadonet: it doesn't use actions; it takes things out of $/ after matching. 14:30
takadonet masak: I been having lots of trouble using actions lately
masak takadonet: 'trouble', as in reportable bugs? 14:31
14:31 hcchien left, clkao left
cognominal I read Rakudo Star as a rule that matches all the upcoming official releases of Rakudo 14:31
takadonet masak: Not sure, Trying to determine if it's just a bug or just my limited knowledge of the language
cognominal we just have to make it Rakudo Plus 14:32
masak takadonet: anything you want to share, a number of pastebins are waiting for you...
takadonet masak: Current are work right now so not possible 14:33
masak understood.
14:35 rfordinal left
takadonet Quick question: What are the differences between: regex,tokens and rules . I know that regex are just a name 'regular expression' but the rest I'm little fuzzy on 14:35
14:35 rfordinal joined
pmichaud a token is a regex that has backtracking turned off by default 14:35
a rule is a token where significant whitespace in the pattern corresponds to "optional" whitespace in the string being matched 14:36
s/significant// 14:38
takadonet thanks pmichaud 14:39
14:39 nihiliad joined
moritz_ we should make an FAQ with an URL that's very easy to remember 14:39
(for the token/rule/regex thing)
14:41 leedo joined 14:42 sparc left
masak moritz_: good idea. 14:46
moritz_: maybe with some example code which uses the differences in a useful situation.
14:47 xomas_ left, clkao joined 14:49 Psyche^ joined
moritz_ I could offer perl6.de/rtr # for "regex/token/rule" 14:50
takadonet that would be great!
pmichaud we can always do rakudo.org/rtr 14:51
moritz_ who owns perl6.org?
that would be ideal
whois says "Daniel Wright"
pmichaud maybe I'll inquire about perl6.org 14:52
moritz_ that would be a very useful domain 14:53
pmichaud agreed
moritz_ or perl6.com for that matter 14:54
(although I prefer .org)
14:54 rfordinal left 14:58 ilango joined
ilango Hi, I would like to join in on the Perl 6 project 14:59
I am a Java developer with java and C++ skills, and very little perl development skills from 2002
And I would like to get involved with the Perl 6 project 15:00
[particle] the first step is admitting you are a perl 6 programmer
phenny [particle]: 10:49Z <masak> tell [particle] that I'm interested in hearing about the status of S19 implementation in Rakudo. it is something that I wouldn't mind seeing land before April. The new revised ROADMAP puts it at 2, "ought to have" -- I agree.
pmichaud ilango: great! Best place to start would be to write some Perl 6 programs.
15:01 frew__ left
ilango Can I install Perl 6 on a Mac 15:02
masak ilango: something like this, perhaps? (1) download Rakudo, (2) write "hello world", (3) write your cool new app.
ilango: yes, you can.
moritz_ ilango: rakudo.org/how-to-get-rakudo
ilango thanks for your help
masak ilango: I'm running Rakudo, and I have a Macintosh.
15:02 KyleHa1 joined, frew joined, KyleHa left
sbp it even works on Tiger 15:02
[particle] pmichaud: the roadmap says last updated 2009-05-21 15:03
ilango I plan to run perl programs on a dedicated server and host a simple "Hello World " page running on Perl 6..What are your thoughts about that
great!
I have Mac OS Leopard 15:04
Thank you moritx, masak and pmichaud
masak ilango: you're welcome, and good luck! let us know how it goes!
15:04 Patterner left, Psyche^ is now known as Patterner

pmichaud right.
moritz_ the tests in S32-array/kv.t simply tests kv.elems 15:08
pmichaud the problem isn't .kv, it's the pair constructor.
masak pmichaud: SVG.pm currently blocks (a little) on that bug.
moritz_ (why is it in S32-array anyway? it should be in S32-list or so)
pmichaud masak: use parens around the list.
moritz_ pmichaud: I know, but that's where some (indirect) tests are 15:09
pmichaud this is the bug I worked on (unsuccessfully) over the weekend
ilango Thank you, particle 15:10
pmichaud STD.pm refactored quite a bit and it's going to take some work to get Rakudo to track those changes
the workaround is to use :foo([3,4]) instead of :foo[3,4] for now. 15:13
masak pmichaud: thanks.
pmichaud (tickets merged and updated) 15:14
__ash__ just curious, parrot defines everything in a spec before it implements it right? so if there seems to be something missing from their spec it would be wise to say send an email in the mailing list about it 15:16
pmichaud __ash__: no, parrot does not always define in a spec before implementing 15:17
but yes, if something is missing in the spec it's worth an email
__ash__ btw, rt.perl.org/rt3/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=65272 and rt.perl.org/rt3/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=46665 seem to be related issues, both seem to come from a parrot issue, just thought i'd let you guys know i noticed this, i am going to ask in the parrot mailing list about it 15:19

p6eval rakudo 39cc84: OUTPUT«too many named arguments - 'b' not expected␤in Main (/tmp/BarmebCDoj:2)␤»

pmichaud masak: I simply mean that :a[...] doesn't work properly at present. 15:23
rakudo: say (:a((:b, :c))).perl
p6eval rakudo 39cc84: OUTPUT«"a" => ["b" => 1, "c" => 1]␤»
masak ah. double parens.
pmichaud currently Rakudo is using postcircumfix for whatever comes after the :name part
so :a(...) parses like a function call 15:24
masak tha's wrong.
pmichaud right
but that was the way STD.pm did it until a month ago
[particle] time--
masak surprising.
I'm glad it doesn't any more. 15:25
pmichaud same here
unfortunately, fixing it is not as simple as s/postcircumfix/circumfix/
because the code for creating compile-time pairs depended on the structure of a postcircumfix ast
15:26 finanalyst left
pmichaud (because the postcircumfix ast looks like a function call, while a circumfix ast would look like a list) 15:26
so I have to switch that code. But switching that code means that the code that checks for named arguments also has to change...
and it just spreads from there 15:27
masak I see. 15:28
yesterday I tried eating my own dogfood and running SVG.pm, and I ran into this bug. 15:29
moritz_ so it uses a too low level representation of the parse tree?
pmichaud moritz_: it gets at the very fundamentals of distinguishing lists, argument lists, and named arguments
masak I wish I knew how to do that. :P 15:30
pmichaud and STD.pm has refactored argument list / colonpair handling several times in 2009
so it's a bit challenging for rakudo to keep up
masak seems I have very marked difficulties in telling what is a named param and what is a pair. 15:31
pmichaud even if we were using STD.pm directly it'd be a challenge, because the issue isn't one of parsing but of correctly analyzing the parse to produce the correct semantics
so when the parse changes, the analyzer has to change also 15:32
masak nod.
moritz_ wonders how hard or easy it is for pmurias to extract such information from STD.pm 15:33
pmichaud anyway, I thought it would be a relatively simple fix on friday but by sunday I had decided it wasn't quite-so-simple
15:35 adhoc left
pmichaud (it's not hard, it just requires a re-examination of everywhere that we do argument handling and list construction) 15:35
masak uhn, looking at #66996, it seems that the bug has been independently discovered three times... what's more worrying, at least to me, is that the requestor was me all three times. :/ 15:41
pmichaud heh
masak my garbage collection seems to be working really well.
pmichaud well, in the last instance it was originally thought to be a .kv bug and not a colonpair bug
masak mm. 15:42
in my defense, I don't seem to discover this bug more often than once a month. :P
pmichaud in your defense, we don't seem to fix this bug more often than once a year. 15:43
masak *lol*
moritz_ :-)
but now we seem to have tests in two different files
so you made KyleHa++ and me work on the tests
masak hm, interesting that you arrived at two different places for the tests... 15:44
I don't feel entirely culpable for that, actually... :) 15:45

KyleHa1 That one disturbs my delicate Perl 5 sensibilities. 16:51
I'd be pleased as punch if someone could verify that it's right. 16:52
(Specifically, is it true that "my ($x)" with a space is different from "my($x)" without a space?)
moritz_ KyleHa1: yes
PerlJam yes
moritz_ if STD.pm parses it, it's likely right 16:53
PerlJam KyleHa1: foo() is always different from foo ()
KyleHa1 OK, thanks.
In that case, I'm happy with my test. 16:54
moritz_ hrm, std.pm doesn't seem to like sub()
it should.
16:54 szabgab joined
moritz_ otoh doesn't the case of 'sub' collision with anonymous subroutine declarations? 16:54
TimToady yes, but I'm beginning to think we should make that one consistent as well, and require sub () 16:55

TimToady or sub*() works, I think 16:56
16:56 eMaX left
TimToady where "works" is defined as "specced to work" 16:56

moritz_ I think requiring a space is sane

TimToady I guess it's NYI in std 16:58
moritz_ what should it mean?
TimToady supposed to mean "anonymous"
but explicitly, instead of leaving the name out
moritz_ is that in the spec somewhere, or just in your head? 16:59
TimToady I think it's specced, but that thought might be just in my head :)
oh, wait 17:01
maybe it was class :: {}
PerlJam no whatevers for classes 17:02
TimToady yes, I was confabulating 17:03
TimToady blames jetlag

ruoso ouch
good thing there is SVN
pmurias_ ruoso: so what do we need to figure out to do module loading? 17:54
ruoso we need TimToady's final call on S11... 17:55
pmurias_ what is the install alias from S11 supposed to do? 17:56
ruoso pmurias_, it's basically a BIND
but it can create new entries (which is only allowed at compile time) 17:57
17:57 pmurias_ is now known as pmurais
pmurais ruoso: and .copy creates a deep copy? 17:58
ruoso pmurais, yes... but it only clone packages
the other entries in the package are not cloned
ruoso wonder if pmurias noticed the typo in pmurais
moritz_ there's one thing I don't like about the current S11 state 17:59
cxreg is the comment syntax still open for discussion? tye had some complaints about it that I thought I would relay
pmurais ruoso: i noticed it once you mentioned it ;)
moritz_ the presence of a stub shouldn't require import_realias instead of import_alias
[particle] everything is open for discussion here, cxreg
moritz_ just like the presence of a stubbed class shouldn't require an 'augment' before the defintion of the "real" class 18:00
lisppaste3 cxreg pasted "p6 comment syntax" at paste.lisp.org/display/85140
ruoso moritz_, I'm not sure I get what you mean
moritz_ ruoso: S11 mentions .import_realias and .import_alias 18:01
ruoso: and the former seems necessary if the stub is already present
ruoso: right?
ruoso moritz_, no...
actually... yes
hmm...
moritz_ which one? :)
ruoso I initially thought .import_alias was more generic 18:02
moritz_ I'm looking at S11:268
ruoso and .import_realias was more specific
but they are mutually exclusive
18:02 braceta joined
ruoso moritz_, yeah... it seems that a more generic method would be needed 18:03
i.e. .import_alias, .import_newalias, .import_realias
moritz_ .import($symbols, :override)
ruoso or that
moritz_, but the idea seems to be to force you to know what you're doing
but I'm not sure there is a way for you to know it 18:04
moritz_ ruoso: that's not a bad idea, as long as it doesn't create wierd assymetries
cxreg: I think you should send those comments to the mailing list, they are drowning here 18:05
cxreg do I have to subscribe to send to the list? :/ 18:06
pmurais ruoso: i managed to get App::Persistent to work with mildew, but it only cuts ~1sec per test (the c compiler remains)
moritz_ cxreg: no; it'll just longer if not (manual moderation)
cxreg that's perl6-lang or something?
moritz_ [email@hidden.address]
ruoso pmurais, heh... that's pretty slow ;) 18:07
ah.. 18:08
wait...
it cuts, not increases
:)
18:08 zostay left
ruoso pmurais, we could drop that time if we went from mold AST to Mold directly using XS 18:09
that way we wouldn't require the C-compiling part at all
pmurais having a bytecode format would be good 18:10
ruoso pmurais, having a bytecode format would require a bytecode processor
moritz_ ruoso: don't you have a tab key for nick completion? ;-)
oh wait 18:11
:)
moritz_ owned
ruoso pmurais, and, actually, for the CORE, having it compiled down to yeast C code is better than bytecode
18:11 pmurias left, pmurais is now known as pmurias, pmurias_ joined
ruoso which makes me realize I was talking non-sense 18:12
pmurias ruoso: so do you think working on cutting the compiling overhead makes sense 18:13
?
ruoso pmurias, but I still think that having the constant values used directly in the yeast code instead of being sent around during initialization would also increase boot time
s/increase/improve?
pmurias, not if we're moving towards yeast... at least not now
pmurias so any task for me? (i'm not really sure wha should be in ClassHOW) so i don't really know how to work on that 18:16
ruoso pmurias, the current ClassHOW isn't much far from the final one... 18:18
so supporting the features there is certainly a good thing
KyleHa1 rakudo: say $~MAIN; 18:19

p6eval rakudo 39cc84: OUTPUT«say requires an argument at line 2, near " $~MAIN;"␤in Main (src/gen_setting.pm:2473)␤»

KyleHa1 About all I could say at this point is 'ok defined $~MAIN'
moritz_ KyleHa1: I think it's not ripe for testing yet; let's wait a bit with TimToady does with STD.pm here 18:22
KyleHa1 Yeah...
moritz_ afaict it's meant like this:
KyleHa1 I sometimes wonder if writing bad tests will spur better specs.
moritz_ you override the quoting syntax with "" in $~MAIN 18:23
and then you write a regex that uses that modified quoting syntax
inside
PerlJam The more people that attempt to use it, the better TimToady will be able to spec it :)
ruoso pmurias, in that case MY::{$repr} should suffice
moritz_ ah well; I don't want to discourage anybody 18:24
18:24 mikehh__ is now known as mikehh, kane_ left
KyleHa1 So then $~Q is the 'name' of the new quoting syntax when you're inside the regex that uses it? 18:24
moritz_ I just want to say that it's likely to be not very rewarding at first
KyleHa1: probably some kind of a grammar or a compiler object or so 18:25
KyleHa1 Oh, all those things will be objects.
moritz_ I'd be disappointed if not :-) 18:26
ruoso pmurias, but if you want a more challenging task ;) 18:27
KyleHa1 rakudo: say $~MAIN.perl; # nyuck nyuck nyuck
p6eval rakudo 39cc84: OUTPUT«say requires an argument at line 2, near " $~MAIN.pe"␤in Main (src/gen_setting.pm:2473)␤»

and because system() is now run() 18:52
TimToady and because exec needed dehuffmanization and deunixization 18:53
dalek kudo: 1e00038 | moritz++ | src/setting/NYI.pm:
want() is not NYI, it's gone - KyleHa++
 18:55
PerlJam okay, I'll just chalk up the weird name to the price of change I guess. Though "runandreplace" or "runinplace" or something might be more descriptive.
ruoso TimToady, is exec possible to be deunixicized 18:56
?
KyleHa1 runwithscissors
PerlJam KyleHa1++
ruoso was thinking in POSIX::exec, SYSV::exec BSD::exec or whatever
__ash__ runinstead seems like odd english, did someone not native to english come up with that :P 18:57
PerlJam so ... does that mean fork is going to get a new name too? :)
ruoso actually... it's just POSIX
ruoso votes for POSIX::exec
PerlJam ruoso: yeah, putting the POSIXy things under the POSIX namespace makes good sense. 18:58
ruoso and POSIX package will always be loaded under POSIX OSs 18:59
so no need to use POSIX
moritz_ ruoso: NOOO
ruoso (unless you want to import the symbols)
moritz_ no automatic package loading
that's too scary in perl 6
because it change the parser
you don't want to get a parse error on a different OS 19:00
ruoso moritz_, POSIX being part of the Setting of Perl in a POSIX OS seems natural to me...
TimToady I hope POSIX dies a violent death soon
ruoso rakudo: say POSIX::exec 19:01
moritz_ ruoso: getting OS dependent syntax errors doesn't seem natural to me
p6eval rakudo bb1c2b: OUTPUT«Null PMC access in invoke()␤in Main (/tmp/ynfpi8YT4I:2)␤»
KyleHa1 is ( 'filename' ~~ :e ) an error now?
ruoso TimToady, POSIX is a standard... or do you refer to the perl5 POSIX.pm?
TimToady I am referring to the standard :)
ruoso moritz_, but I'm not against requiring "needs POSIX"
TimToady, in that case... I kinda doubt it will die ;) 19:02
moritz_ KyleHa1: yes
PerlJam POSIX will die just like COBOL died.
moritz_ KyleHa1: it calls method .e on Str which doesn'T exist
KyleHa1 That's testable. 8-) 19:03
moritz_ aye ;-)
KyleHa1: btw I'm trying to patch ==> and other feed operators into the grammar and NYI.pm ;-) 19:04
ruoso in fact... "need POSIX"; sounds very much reasonable thing to have in a POSIX-specifc script
KyleHa1 moritz: I look forward to seeing that. 19:05
__ash__ windows isn't posix compliant by default, but its not hard to make it posix compliant, however, doesn't it have its own version of exec/fork/etc. ? (i haven't had a windows compy in like 4 years and haven't ever tried doing concurrency on it) 19:06
pmichaud moritz_: for making ==> into NYI, just write its sub
moritz_ __ash__: afaict it doesn't have fork (don't know about exec), windows has a different API for launching processes
19:07 mberends left
pmichaud sub infix:«==>» { die "nyi"; } 19:07
moritz_ pmichaud: I want to make sure that it gets the right precdence
pmichaud just add it into the precedence table
moritz_ pmichaud: which i why I also want to add it to grammar-oper.pg
pmichaud same as other ops
moritz_ yes, I'm testing that right now
pmichaud okay, moritz++
moritz_ spectest seems fine so far
pmichaud should be, yes.
the only operators that have trouble are those that we currently have to define in PIR
(because of multimethod issues)
moritz_ doen't parse '@a ==> @b' after I add it the op table 19:09
I added a new precedence level - could that be a problem?
'b=' instead of 'c='
pmurias TimToady: what's wrong with POSIX?
TimToady abysmally ignorant of Unicode, for one 19:10
locales are a travesty
the event model is not easily portable to other event systems
select only does filehandles 19:11
that's for starters
PerlJam somehow, perl needs to hire this guy: www.kranzcom.com/who-is-jonathan/10...-jonathan/
ruoso TimToady, I agree it's not the prettiest thing in the world... but it's a standard, it's old, it's legacy... it can't be pretty 19:12
TimToady and everything is done with null-terminated strings, grr
well, not everything
but too much
I'm fine with having a POSIX module, but keep its semantics out of core Perl 6, please 19:13
PerlJam TimToady: So ... POSIX is meeting their goals. Why does it need to die?
TimToady we hates it
19:13 japhb joined
KyleHa1 POSIX kicked my dog. 19:13
ruoso TimToady, my point is that every attempt I am aware to mask out the OS concepts end with a even weirder API (i.e.: Java) 19:14
so... better keep a POSIX:: namespace
for POSIX:: things
TimToady I'm not arguing against that; I'd still like for the standard to die someday :)
ruoso heh... 19:15
TimToady a prerequisite will be someone coming up with a different standard, as you suggest

KyleHa1 Moritz: I've modified S16-filehandles/filetest.t according to the new spec, and Rakudo blows up on it at the first test. Should I remove it from spectest.data or fudge the whole thing or let it be a regression? 19:18
pmichaud moritz_: sounds great, I'll definitely look.
KyleHa1: comment out in spectest.data is the standard approach
moritz_ KyleHa1: remove it from spectest.data (and add a comment on the top that you regressed on it)
(and why)
pmichaud (it's a regression, but at least we know that it once worked)
KyleHa1 OK, thank you both.
19:20 donaldh left
ruoso TimToady, anyway... I think the current spec for Parcel doesn't hurt smop much... because the capture is still the fundament of every call... I just need a Parcel type and a Parcel->Capture typecast... 19:20
19:20 donaldh joined
TimToady unless, of course, we have a signature that wants the original Parcel...but I haven't got a use case for that yet 19:21
ruoso can we leave that for 6.0.0 + 1 19:22
?
moritz_ for something like list() which tries to turns named into positionals?
KyleHa1 Is there some reason dalek doesn't show that commit?
TimToady well, a use case will likely involve the implementation of something lowlevel like circumfix:<( )> though
moritz_ KyleHa1: it takes up to 5 minutes, or so
TimToady moritz_: yes, something like that
KyleHa1 Oh, I'm impatient. OK. 8-)
19:23 mberends joined
TimToady though we could possibly restrit such to macro-ish parsing 19:23
*restrict
and keep Parcels out of sigs that way
alternately, keep the original parcel ordering somewhere in the Capture if the candidate list might want a Parcel 19:24
ruoso trying to figure out how to implement list() without Parcels in the sig
TimToady easy to prove with multis, hard with methods
so list() might be significantly easier than ().list 19:25
dalek kudo: 9c291ca | (Kyle Hasselbacher)++ | t/spectest.data:
[spectest.data] filetest.t regressed due to spec change (RT #68160)
TimToady but lunch & shower &
ruoso TimToady, alright... if we allow a Parcel->Capture->Parcel cast to return a different object, it should work 19:26
which shouldn't be a problem, since Parcel is immutable
moritz_ why would you want to convert from Capture to Parcel?
ruoso in list() 19:27
that considering Capture is a fundament of every call
as it is in SMOP
moritz_ well, when you have a Capture it's too late anyway
which i the root of our list() problem
*is
ruoso so you mean list() wouldn't convert named to positional? 19:28
or that it wouldn't preserve the order?

pmurias, you could also add an extra element on the SV* head
and remove the proxy object entirely
that's half of the work to have the P5-SMOP integration 20:29
ok... probably a bit less than the half
pmurias ruoso: perl5 depends on deterministic destruction so using a tracing gc with it might break some things 20:31
ruoso pmurias, the major purpose of SMOP today is providing full p5 integration in the future 20:32

TimToady ruoso: you keep saying that, and I keep wishing you'd ask a more specific question 22:34
ruoso mzedeler, if you want the caller to decide if the list is going to be flattened or not, just do return @a, @b... otherwise use [@a],[@b]

alester Who will help with the Pointless Complaints About Perl 6 FAQ?
cognominal oops, soory, wrong channel :( 22:59

__ash__ i hear one a lot, that perl 6 didn't do anything to help it be more readable than perl 5
alester and your response to that is? 23:01
__ash__ there is a lot of semantic meaning behind the changes they did make, even if you have to learn to recognize a few symbols to understand the semantics, like how sigils static to the variable they were defined with 23:02
mzedeler alester: (Andy Lester?) What needs to be done+ 23:03
?
alester add more whining you've heard, and your response
Perl 6 threads get old quickly. 23:04
TimToady you should rename it "Complaints Raised About Perl 6" for a more appropriate acronym
alester hahahah
__ash__ most of those complaints come from a python programmer, so take that with a grain of salt
alester beautiful
mzedeler I haven't heard much whining yet. I suppose thats in store for me some time later. 23:05
cognominal The waterbed theory : if you eschew the complexity in the language by refusing to learn a powerful langage it will appear in your code. So instead dealing with it once, we will deal with zillions of badly reeinvented wheels
alester I'm trying to find TimToady 's statements about Perl 6 early on. 23:07
For now, I handle the "missed the boat" gripe with
Perl 6 is not, and never has been, about capturing market share,
or fitting a given niche, or becoming the pre-eminent tool of choice
for a given problem area.
TimToady it's CRAP logic: any utterance in Perl 5 can be translated into more readable Perl 6, therefore Perl 6 is less readable :)
mzedeler ...or people will use the new, all-powerful language to reinvent their square wheels anyway :-) 23:08
My best bet is that one out of six questions at perlmonks is a square wheel reinvention request.

alester TimToady: Is my assessment re: market share a fair assessment? 23:10
TimToady Perl 6 isn't about missing boats, but about inventing airplanes. 23:11
alester Nice.
cognominal if market share is measured in LOCs, TimToady works hard to be a loser. :)
alester Oh, I forgot my favorite! It's taken too long.
TimToady yeah, 22 years so far, and counting :) 23:12
