dalek kudo/test-handles: 78f60a3 | (Rob Hoelz)++ | lib/Test.pm:
Restore "Test.pm - Allow output handles to be queried and modified"

We must delay initializing Test handles until runtime		 00:25
hoelzro FROGGS: could you try your v5 stuff that I broke against github.com/rakudo/rakudo/commit/78f60a348b? 00:26
I would like to see if that fixes it
also, if anyone else could help explain to me how compile vs run time works in Perl 6, I would be grateful
in Perl 5, afaict, "my $foo = 17;" declares a lexical scalar variable $foo at compile time, but it's initialized to 17 at runtime 00:27
so I'm wondering why 'my $output = $PROCESS::OUT' wouldn't behave similarly in Perl 6 00:28
granted, that just might be the way things are, but it could be a stumbling block for Perl 5 programmers like myself
00:43 lichtkind left 00:45 aborazmeh left 00:47 xfix left 00:48 xfix joined 00:50 grettis left
TimToady my works the same in p6, so just looks like a plain old bug to me; $PROCESS::OUT should automatically be re-inited to the new stdout under separate compilation 00:53
if it is re-inited, and not being seen, then something is doing unwarranted "constant" folding
either that, or INIT is re-initing too lazily 00:55
hoelzro TimToady: if I do an explicit INIT, it works fine
only if my $output = $PROCESS::OUT is in the mainline does FROGGS' example break, it seems
TimToady yes, but init time should be doing that for you already wrt $PROCESS::OUT 00:56
there's no reason at all for $PROCESS::OUT to try to preserve the compiler's stdout 00:57
hoelzro right, that's what I was thinking
TimToady I presume this is something that used to work, and has broken with all the startup code fiddling 00:58
hoelzro TimToady: I've seen precompilation issues similar to this one before 00:59
I'm wondering how the spectest would behave if we precompiled it and ran it

make Bag/Mix.list more hashy, returning .pairs

Bags and Mixes are more naturally hashy, so we'll default to returning
  .pairs in list context. Set, however, still returns only .keys for its
default list, since the values are uninterestingly true. (cf RT #121947)		 04:27

04:37 kurahaupo left
TimToady masak: your gist of smartmatches changes is a Mixed Bag (puns intended); list patterns need a better rethink than that, and implied searching for Num or Str is a non-starter, since those mandate the left side to work under + or ~ respectively, or they become unoptimizable 04:40
04:42 [Sno] left
TimToady but I agree that a distributed smartmatch might be a good thing, since you don't always have an explicit ~~ to Z or hyper 04:42

04:45 skarn left 04:52 allen left 04:53 chenryn joined
TimToady my current inclination is to limit list smartmatching to parcels and maybe lols, because arrays ought to act more like typed data than like a sequence of fancy gizmos 04:56
04:56 skarn joined
TimToady so you'd have to parcelize an array to get it to smartmatch the elements 04:56
04:56 skarn is now known as Guest62656
TimToady whereas it's perfectly normal to sneak things like * and ** into parcels and lols 04:57
and we can now use bare sigils for matching too, I suspect...

TimToady that might or might not be working for the correct reason :) 04:59
m: say [42] ~~ @
camelia rakudo-moar 02db73: OUTPUT«False␤»
TimToady the $ works because it defaults to Any or some such 05:00

camelia rakudo-moar 02db73: OUTPUT«(Any)␤»
TimToady yeah
m: say [] ~~ @ 05:01
camelia rakudo-moar 02db73: OUTPUT«True␤»
TimToady whereas @ just defaults to ()
so we'd have to decide whether to stick with * matching multiple values 05:02
at first I thought maybe * should match a single value and ** multiple values, but then that makes lol patterns less useful

dj_goku so I want to add some tests for rosetta code into perl6/roast, but that is a lot of coping and pasting. I am trying to figure out how to run a roast. 05:02
TimToady build rakudo under moar, then "make spectest" is one way 05:03

dj_goku hmm 05:04
TimToady lemme guess, you just used rakudobrew...
dj_goku I did. 05:05
*magic*
TimToady if so, there's probably some subdir containing the nom build that you can run it in
or maybe rakudobrew knows spectest targets?

dj_goku TimToady: cool. so my other question about automating the download/running of code on Rosetta Code does that seem like something I can add to roast? Or should I just add all the tests manually? 05:09
I found the moar dir and running spectest now. 05:10
TimToady we should test RC entries, but probably outside of roast if we download straight from RC, since roast is the official definition of Perl 6, while RC is a wiki, so anyone could redefine Perl 6 just by changing the wiki, if roast had an RC dependency 05:13
we do have a few RC entries as part of roast currently, and we could certainly have more, but they need to be vetted and nailed down for a particular version of roast representing, say, Perl 6.0.0 05:14
at some point ingy++ was working on automated download of RC entries, dunno where he got with that 05:15
dj_goku sounds interesting. :D
I wanted to start manually added them. But though I can only do a few. :)

moritz doing the .close inside the loop is a bad idea 07:32
I mean, after the first line, it'll close the socket
and the subsequent sends can't ever work 07:33
TimToady closes his sockets --> zzz &
moritz cbk1090: and it would also be helpful if you told us how it is "no longer working" 07:34
cbk1090 At one point, I had it working. It was a chat client.
moritz does your keyboard erupt into blue flames when you run it?
if not, what is the failure mode? 07:35
cbk1090 It does not connect.
moritz any error message?
cbk1090 No. just says connection refused.
moritz well, that's an error message. 07:36
is the server running?
cbk1090 yeah, I have basically the same code, but have the listen flag set. 07:37
moritz "connection refused" means that either the port isn't open, or it's firewalled 07:38
(at least not open on the machine you want to connect to)
oh
my $host = "10.10.224.101";

moritz what happens when you telnet 10.10.224.101 25535 on the command line?
timotimo aye, the $client.close is a bad idea to have inside the loop 07:41
cbk1090 I can move that I just want it to work again, and that is how I had it when it worked... 07:42
moritz cbk1090: well, if you want it to work, you need to find out what's wrong. 07:43
cbk1090: claiming that it worked before doesn't help you with that
cbk1090: you did that three times now, instead of just going ahead and answering my questions
or acting on any of the information I gave you, for all I can tell 07:44

FROGGS cbk1090: so it is a problem with your network
timotimo aye. did you paste the server portion yet?
it seems like there's nothing listening on that port on that machine, or a firewall is blocking connections
moritz or the IP might be wrong 07:54
cbk1090 no but here it is... pastebin.com/VRTn76nd

FROGGS cbk1090: what is the output of this? nmap -sS -p 25535 10.10.224.101
cbk1090 25535/tcp closed unknown
moritz cbk1090: stop. 07:55
cbk1090: that code can't even run.
cbk1090: I'm getting the impression you're trolling us
that code doesn't even compile, and it didn't compile on older versions of any Perl 6 compiler 07:56
cbk1090 no, not at all.
moritz then stop presenting us so many plain wrong pieces of information
you're not running that code. Period.
because it can't run.
also, you claimed that the client code you pasted earlier ran on older versions. It didn't. 07:57
you claimed you ran the telnet command I gave you. You didn't.
we can't help you like that
and I don't want to anymore.
timotimo cbk1090: in general it's only a good idea to specify a host for a listen socket, if you know *exactly* why you want to do that. otherwise you don't want to do that
cbk1090 Ok Its running right now on my system.
moritz cbk1090: I don't believe you
cbk1090: it has undeclared variables. It can't run.

timotimo it would seem like cbk1090 is just running different source code locally, probably by mistake 08:04
cbk1090 FROGGS, respectfully if you see they are there there just commented out. I have tried both ways. (I sorry to say this again, I had it working ether by accident or not. Im just trying to figure out what changed so I can get to work again) 08:05
FROGGS timotimo: still, you cannot get proper help when you paste the wrong piece of code
timotimo that's right
but i understand where they're coming from
cbk1090: there are several oddities with your code, aside from what froggs and moritz have been complaining about 08:06
FROGGS cbk1090: that's what we say, please paste the code that you are running, not something you fiddled with an hour ago
cbk1090: we need to talk about the exact same thing
08:06 bcode left
cbk1090 timotimo, I just installed the latest Rakudo from source. and using perl6-m 08:06
timotimo 1) specifying a host for the server socket, that is the one with :listen, is only necessary if your machine has multiple addresses and you only want the server to be reached at one of those addresses. on top of that, it must be an ip address, not a URL
cbk1090 FROGGS, ok 08:07
timotimo if you use :listen, you can leave out the host parameter
and you probably should
cbk1090 timotimo, ok i'll do that.
timotimo also, you're accepting connections, receiving a single message from them, but you are not closing the individual connections from the server side. the reason why this *does* work is that after sending a single message, your client closes the connection 08:08
08:08 bcode joined
Timbus it wouldnt matter anyway, the local port binding is :localhost 08:08
timotimo oh!
Timbus: good catch!
this probably ought to give a proper error message, then.
Timbus dont ask me why, i just copied perl 5
it should probably also error if the port is over 65535 haha 08:09
timotimo yes
moritz FROGGS: irclog.perlgeek.de/perl6/search/?ni...q=VMThread search now works again 08:12
timotimo cbk1090: it may be a good idea to test the server and client in isolation; i suppose you are on linux, so you should be able to get the "netcat" package via your package manager 08:13
FROGGS moritz++
timotimo if you netcat -l -p YOUR_PORT_NUMBER, that'll behave very similar to your server code
and if you echo "my sweet message" | netcat SERVER_IP YOUR_PORT_NUMBER, that'll behave very similar to your client code 08:14
not exactly, but close enough for testing purposes
cbk1090 timotimo, ok i'll go back and work on that. Thank you
timotimo good luck! 08:15

timotimo it will go through the stages as specified and stop after the one that's set in --target

FROGGS it is initialized via a subroutine on first use, right?
via a proxy?

Ven timotimo: I'm feeling sadder each and every day :(
timotimo aaw :(
Ven it's supposed to be a minor point, but it's just so useful
being able to parameterize classes seems like a basic point of generics to me, though 12:23
I really wonder what's the reasoning?
timotimo i suppose we want a class to have a fixed layout
and not per-instance 12:24
you can still just pun a role if you'd like
Ven timotimo: well, yes, but this forces me to have `make`-er methods
or do you suggest `does`-ing a role in BUILDM 12:25
?
moritz you can simply use the role as if it were a class
timotimo m: role A[::T] { has T $.foo is rw }; my $boing = A[Int].new(foo => 123); say $boing.perl
camelia rakudo-moar 0e7397: OUTPUT«A[Int].new(foo => 123)␤»
timotimo ^- there you go
moritz and the class is transparently generated for you on the fly 12:26

Ven timotimo: maybe p6 will have some local type-inference in 2025 :) 12:27

Ven timotimo: because I don't quite have the time to volunteer ;) 12:28
timotimo ah 12:29

moritz could imagine that stuffing a type inference engine into the optimizer might be good fun 12:29
Ven moritz: well, it can only make running programs faster
moritz Ven: nope
Ven moritz: oh yes :)
moritz Ven: it can also promote inevitable run-time type errors to compile time errors 12:30
Ven moritz: ah, that's not what I meant
moritz ah
Ven I meant - it can't make running your programs slower – only faster
moritz well, it can make them slower too :-)
timotimo yeah, type inference could cost a bunch of time
moritz (when the inference engine is slower than the benefits 12:31
)
Ven well, some basic and local type inference could be really easy to do. Like

moritz they are interleaved 15:11
hoelzro about how I assumed that my $foo = 17; would create a lexical scalar $foo at compile time, but the assignment of $foo to 17 would be delayed until runtime
(well, I could see it being optimized out)
moritz: how do compilation/runtime phases work wrt precompilation, though?
FROGGS one important bit is that the result of the stuff that happens at compile time is serialized to the .moarvm file when you precompile code
jnthn hoelzro: The key thing your model may be missing is that when you "use" a module, then its mainline has its runtime right away
hoelzro: Meaning that the module mainline's runtime happens during the dependent module's compile time. 15:12
hoelzro jnthn: that makes sense to me (it's the same in Perl 5)
jnthn: did you see the bug I caused that FROGGS found?
jnthn Yes, but what is *not* the same in Perl 5 is that we do precomp
hoelzro true
15:12 grondilu joined
timotimo nwc10: what do you mean with advent calendar and "this week" update? 15:13
jnthn If you were to, for example, tweak something that is exported during the module mainline, then it'd be the importing module's pre-compilation that'd end up serializing it.
nwc10 the joke some years back was "this week", referring to the fact that back then, the spec moved quite fast
so "this week" was implying "the spec has changed"
FROGGS jnthn: yes, exactly that happened with filehandles
jnthn If you export a variable and stick a file handle in it then...well, fun... 15:14
nwc10 and it was really "does the original page get updated to also show the new version?"
grondilu was looking at rosettacode.org/wiki/Modular_inverse#Perl_6 and thought it would be nice to write 'multi infix:<div>($a, $b, :$modulus) {...}' but it's currently not possible because &infix:<div> has a hard-coded proto in Numeric, with no possible adverb
hoelzro jnthn: so is my $h = $PROCESS::OUT a bug, then? 15:15
FROGGS hoelzro: if you export it
hoelzro does one have to do an explicit my $h; INIT $h = $PROCESS::OUT; ?
I just see this behavior potentially tripping people up 15:17
because it did me =)
15:17 denis_boyun_ left, chenryn left
jnthn Well, perhaps the real issue is that the VM tries to serialize the file handle...or that the filehandle doesn't just serialize a closed form of itself or something. 15:17
Since it seeems you just re-assign it on each load anyway.
Heck, we could even get it to serialize to a VMNull as an initial attempt. 15:18
15:18 mberends_ left
jnthn I *think* that the Perl 6 level IO code might then do the Right Thing or so... 15:18
FROGGS jnthn: does that apply to VMThreads too? 15:19
jnthn FROGGS: If youre ending up trying to serialize one of those...we have a problem, I think.
FROGGS jnthn: yes, that happens somewhere in v5 due to a change in rakudo, but I don't know details yet 15:20
hoelzro what I would expect is (and this could be a dumb idea) for a compunit A.pm, containing "module A; our $h = $*OUT", is that if I precompile A, and I 'use A; $A::h.say: "hi"', A's mainline would run immediately after use, initializing $h
oooooh
I think I understand the problem now
thanks for rubber ducking =)
jnthn hoelzro: Yes, I think what I'm suggesting would give you that.
hoelzro it's because the *consumer* of A is being precompiled, so $h is assigned during compilation (because, afaik, A's mainline would be run then), and *kudo can't figure out how to serialize an OS handle 15:21
jnthn Right
Yeah, generally when looking at serialization issues you need to stop and ponder very carefully exactly what is being compiled at the point an object comes to exist and is made visible... 15:22
15:22 chenryn joined, MilkmanD1n joined
jnthn You may like to try gist.github.com/jnthn/9f6bcae485fed4511392 and see if it helps 15:22
nwc10 this is all going to be fun, but at least it feels easier to deal with it from the start.
hoelzro jnthn: I could give it a whirl 15:23
15:23 MilkmanDan left
jnthn nwc10: Yes, pre-comp is worth it overall, but there are traps. 15:23
nwc10 I agree with both parts of that
jnthn It's *really hard* to nail pre-compiling stuff together with modules being able to do whatever they like at BEGIN time and load time. 15:25
Not to mention when you also have to deal with things like augment. 15:26
timotimo aughh, meeeen
masak .oO( did timotimo just have an augmental breakdown? ) 15:27
jnthn Which demands a mechanism along the lines of "oh, I see you just changed this object graph that was serialized by this module, so I need to re-serialize it AND build a fix-up table so I can modify the original with your changes AND I need to notice if two modules you pull in both did augments and then complain"
and yes, we do ALL those already, and it was a real nuisance. :)
masak clearly I haven't been bashing enough at those parts.
I don't remember submitting any bug reports about them :> 15:28
15:28 chenryn left
hoelzro I look at precomp like I look at threads: really useful, but hard to get right =) 15:28
jnthn Oh, you have, but maybe not appreciating that they were bugs in this area.
masak oh, good.
mission accomplished! apparently. 15:29
jnthn "Where the heck did that symbol go when Ipre-compile" is the classic one :)
The bit I didn't say above is that when we detect a conflict in objects, we actually clone the conflicting one before overwriting it with the updated one
And then let th emodule loader inspect the conflcits and merge any that it can. 15:30
It will merge Stash instances.
And whine about the rest. :)
The "torment the implementors" thing on pre-comp has already gone far enough that we actually have merge algorithms in the module loader. :P 15:31
Most folks of course don't know any of this is being taken care of, and happily --target=mbc/jar, and it usually works out. :) 15:32
15:32 mr-foobar joined
hoelzro jnthn++ 15:32
(anyone else who worked on precomp)++
jnthn But yeah, I tend to see it these days as - some things I can make work out, others we're just going to have to accept are probably impossible.
carlin the only gotcha I've hit with precomp is if you do `is native(foo)` (where foo is a sub that locates a .so) the result of foo() gets precompiled 15:33
masak I think sorear once said that Perl 6 is basically the only language that does *both* precomp and dynamic module loading, and that that creates special, um, tensions. or something like that.
jnthn carlin: is native is a trait and so is invoked at compile time 15:34
carlin: Are you wanting to punt deciding the actual library name until runtime? 15:35
carlin jnthn: no, just the path to it 15:36
jnthn Well, same thing *handwave* :)
carlin: I'll ponder a mechanism for that.
I can probably come up with something. 15:37
timotimo "oh! oh! oh! we can constant fold this! awesome!"
carlin trait_mod:<is>(&thesub, :native(foo)); works 15:38
but isn't as nice as sub thesub is native(...)
timotimo agreed
jnthn Yes, and that is runtime, not BEGIN time, so you're kinda asking for pre-comp problems
timotimo maybe we want the phaser that happens during "linking, ALAP"?
jnthn Not for your module, but for the thing using you rmodule.
I'm pondering a role LibraryNameProvider { method name() { ... } } 15:39
And it expects you to provide a class implemeting that role.
is native(ThatClass)
And so it's jus tthe class we commit to at compile time 15:40
And it calls the method on it at runtime to get the library name.
diakopter how would such a thing be hooked into compile time
timotimo ohai diakopter! :)
jnthn diakopter: You're just passing a type object to the trait at compile time.
diakopter yep, that's what I'm asking; what calls that trait tjingie at compile time 15:41
jnthn The compiler.
diakopter thingie
jnthn That's what traits are: the compiler delegating to a trait_mod

vendethiel TimToady: does it kill performance in p5, too?
TimToady well, it's always going to be slower to look up a name than to follow a pointer 17:31
how much slower depends on how fast you can do name lookups

TimToady you can't, by default, since subs are lexically scoped and therefore private

[Coke] so we could steal Range for that on the types, I guess. 19:58
i would call it .domain, maybe.
flussence that's a better name :) 19:59
timotimo hmm
i can kind of see how we could make a "tinystring" like the "smallbigint" 20:00
i don't know what the performance implications are when we have a check "is this a tinystring?" in front of every op
but if someone has a program that deals with great numbers of single-codepoint (later: grapheme) strings, that could have much better memory usage 20:01
oh 20:02
it'd still be 128 byte per character in that case
FROGGS byte?
timotimo er ... bit. 20:03
plus the MVMObject header of course
well, all the ops already have to check what storage_type we're using 20:06
so just adding another storage type wouldn't hurt
20:06 kaare__ left
diakopter true, that flag is 2 or 3 bits 20:06
timotimo and if i'm careful, this tinystring storage type could even abuse num_graphs to store a second grapheme/codepoint/whatever 20:07
does that sound like a good idea, or a terrible idea? 20:13
[Coke] let's say you do this optimization; how do we track that it keeps being an optimization? 20:14
diakopter comparison tests in p6bench?
timotimo hmm. 20:16
could mayhaps become a #define'd portion of code
or a long-term branch?
lizmat aren't native str much smaller ? 20:18

sjn aah
sjn sees lizmat's point, really 20:32
but oh well
moritz sjn: I see her point as well
lizmat has already given up on it
