AlexDaniel ZoffixWin: “Kinda sucks that the "actually thrown at" line number is still the one where I attempted to use $x, not where the division is in the code.” 01:52

AlexDaniel ah, it was pointed out a bit later, ok 01:54
Xliff Can someone tell me what this error means when coming from NativeCall? 01:55
Cannot locate symbol '' in native library ''
That's when I try and execute a function through a function pointer reset with nativecast()
The functions are set in a CStruct via the only call exposed. 01:56

Herby_ out of curiosity, what text editor do yall use for perl 6? 02:54
gfldex "yall" is using an array of editors. Popular seam to be vim and atom.
02:57 molaf left 03:01 snarkyboojum joined
Xliff Hrm. 03:01
My perl script is not showing the output of "say" from sub main {}. Am I missing something? 03:02
Lemme pastebin.
03:02 pierrot_ left, pierrot joined 03:06 snarkyboojum left
Xliff pastebin.com/0f4fwVRV 03:10
I get no out from that script. Any ideas?
TIA!
gfldex "AD-BLOCK DETECTED - Please Support Pastebin By Buying A PRO Account" ... "This page has been removed!" 03:11
and at least 4 tracking scripts
Xliff :( 03:12
I broke down and got a PRO account.
Or at least a free one and whitelisted the domain. Not sure.
Pastebin is too useful. :/
teatime lol wat
there are a zillion paste services 03:13
gfldex gist.github.com/ <-- free pro account :->
Xliff *snark*
I want my gists to be a little more mature than 'OHAI! HALP!'
skids Um... repr CPointer with attributes? 03:14
teatime you can make the transitory ones anonymous or secre
but there are a zillion paste services
gfldex i like gists because it's easy to work with from the CLI
and i can fork and update them, what is nice if the script is a little longer 03:15
AlexDaniel Xliff: you can use gists instead 03:16
Xliff OK! OK!
AlexDaniel Xliff: or bitbucket snippets, or gitlab snippets
Xliff First everyone was like USE PASTEBIN MOAR!
Now I have to adjust.
AlexDaniel Xliff: in fact, camelia accepts everything that I've mentioned
teatime people say pastebin the same way google=search
Xliff =P
teatime or xerox=photocopy
skids or grep==filter :-) 03:17
AlexDaniel we should probably star saying “gist it” for a while until github gists are still OK
start*
I mean, while github gists are ok…
until they follow the path of pastebin
it*… 03:18
teatime I guess this is why every project channel seems to have its own custom pastebin
I have never used this one, but ran across it earlier today and it looks cool: ix.io/
I put it on my list to look at later.
night-night #perl6 03:19
Xliff gist.github.com/Xliff/b3e0dfd7ab71...75decd42d8
AlexDaniel teatime: I don't think that there is any need for that. I'd much rather add more support for different pastebins than create our own

teatime AlexDaniel: I wasn't telling you what to do, just making an observation.
Xliff I use Markdown markups for this.
Let me edit those out.
AlexDaniel teatime: sure :)
gfldex i found that making it easy to be helped a winning strategy 03:20

camelia ( no output )
skids wonders if there's a freenode-ish paste service. 03:21
Xliff Which isn't shocking coz of missing lib.... but still strange that there is no error.
AlexDaniel teatime: I'm just saying that it was very easy for me to add support for gitlab and bitbucket, and I will happily add more if you manage to find some gisty thing that happens to be popular
gfldex try MAIN instead if main
given you dont got a arguments list to MAIN you may want to drop it altogether
Xliff Cannot locate native library 'liblibtest.so': liblibtest.so 03:22
HAHAHAHAHA!
gfldex unless you seek aproval of the randudancy ministry of radundancy approval
Xliff Cannot locate native library 'libtest.so'
Hunh? libtest.so is in the current dir! 03:23
gfldex i'm not sure if . is in the default lib path
Xliff What's the best way to force it to look in cwd? 03:24
AlexDaniel LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.
Xliff Heh. 'k
AlexDaniel actually, I'm not sure if that works. Try it
Xliff Did 03:26
This representation (CPointer) does not support attribute storage
Not attributes! Struct members. But maybe done coz I used methods in the class.
skids Xliff: like I said above, you can't do that. 03:27
gfldex try `dd $ts` instead of .WHAT.
skids maybe you want repr CStruct? 03:28
gfldex the introspection part of Perl 6 objects comes from a wee bit of magic and a role. The CStruct got neither.
even if it would work, it would be a little wrong. It's a foreign object after all. 03:29
These are hard times for foreigners it seams. :(
03:29 perlawhirl joined 03:32 djbkd joined
Xliff Oh yah! DUh! 03:32
Native call expected return type with CPointer representation, but got a CStruct 03:38
Progress!
OK. Now I am returning pointer. 03:41
How do I cast Pointer back to a defined type? nativecast() again?
Xliff is beginning to think that CPP name mangling might be easier... *sigh* 03:42
Thanks for all of the help, guys.
Herby_ poking around in the perl6intro 03:45
why is the ':' necessary here: %capitals.push: (France => 'Paris');
compared to pushing something into an array 03:47
AlexDaniel m: my %capitals; %capitals.push((France => ‘Paris’)); say %capitals 03:48
camelia rakudo-moar 868d8b: OUTPUT«France => Paris␤»
Herby_ or is the answer "just cause"
AlexDaniel Herby_: ↑ not that you actually need : there
Herby_: you can use regular parens
m: my %capitals; %capitals.push(France => ‘Paris’); say %capitals
camelia rakudo-moar 868d8b: OUTPUT«␤»
Herby_ ahh. the ':' takes place of the parens?
AlexDaniel ouch
Herby_ yeah, thats what threw me off
AlexDaniel Herby_: yeah. Basically, yes 03:49
m: say(‘hello world’)
camelia rakudo-moar 868d8b: OUTPUT«hello world␤»
AlexDaniel m: say ‘hello world’
camelia rakudo-moar 868d8b: OUTPUT«hello world␤»
Herby_ my @a = [1,2,3]; @a.push: (4); say @a; 03:50
m: my @a = [1,2,3]; @a.push: (4); say @a;
camelia rakudo-moar 868d8b: OUTPUT«[1 2 3 4]␤»

camelia rakudo-moar 868d8b: OUTPUT«[abc]␤»
gfldex m: my %capitals; %capitals.push: France => ‘Paris’; say %capitals
AlexDaniel well, if you want to blow your mind, then
camelia rakudo-moar 868d8b: OUTPUT«␤»
gfldex bad example if you ask me
AlexDaniel m: my @a = [1,2,3]; push @a: 4; say @a;
camelia rakudo-moar 868d8b: OUTPUT«[1 2 3 4]␤»
gfldex i don't think that's the same colon. 03:51
Herby_ m: my @a = [1,2,3]; my $b = 'blah'; push @a: $b; say @a;
camelia rakudo-moar 868d8b: OUTPUT«[1 2 3 blah]␤»
AlexDaniel gfldex: it kinda is
gfldex m: my method foo(Int $i: Str $b){}; 03:53
camelia ( no output )
gfldex i think your example is this kind of colon
AlexDaniel gfldex: actually I have no idea how that ↑ works. But push @a: $b just calls a method push on @a 03:55
gfldex the invocant form works both for defining methods and calling them
BenGoldberg m: my %c; %c.push: a:('b'); say %c; 03:57
camelia rakudo-moar 868d8b: OUTPUT«===SORRY!===␤This type does not support positional operations␤»
AlexDaniel but the point is that's still a method call, so I'd say that it is the same kind of a colon. Or it looks so… whatever :/
lta :(

DrForr Xliff: I've only ever done callbacks to regular subroutines, I'd suggest that method signatures don't necessarily match the function signatures. 06:34
Also, just for my own curiosity - You're using 'int' for the Perl type corresponding to C's native int, I thought we were suppsoed to use 'int32' (not portable, I know...) 06:36
Timbus Xliff, at a guess, you want $!s to be Pointer[Str] ?
and you need to use, uh, .deref? 06:37
lemme see if i can compile yer example

DrForr Aaah, deref. Knew it was too early for this sh*t :) 06:42
Timbus changing the Pointer[Str] to just a Str also does what you want, and you don't have to deref.. is that what you wanted?

Xliff No worries. You got me there. I am forever greatful.
Unfortunately this is a stripped down version of what I'm *really* trying to do.
gfldex hankache: start will start a thread for the given code object. You provided an expression that is evaluated and it's return value is seen as a value that is not a code object and thus returned by start (and stored in $promise\d)
Xliff Timbus: I'm trying to get a working NativeCall implementation of this... 08:15

teatime I suppose it would depend on the individual filesystem driver, but that's generally the case anyway. 11:53

timotimo of course you can write binary data and decide on the normalization to use yourself 11:54
teatime "A name consisting of 1 to {NAME_MAX} bytes used to name a file. The characters composing the name may be selected from the set of all character values excluding the slash character and the null byte. The filenames dot and dot-dot have special meaning." — POSIX 11:55
nine pmurias: exactly. File names are just bytes and the file system does only treat names as equivalent if their encoded representations match exactly. 11:57
11:58 Xliff joined
teatime in this case I beleive "character" is supposed to mean "C unsigned char". it does say you "should" stick to the portable filename character set of A-Z a-z 0-9 . _ - 11:58

lizmat why did dalek report this here 12:28
timotimo good question 12:29
[Coke] ... and this should be in p6dev... I only reacted here because of the commit message.
lizmat and thus, why are we having this discussion here?
timotimo i think it could be related to pmurias asking about dalek integration?
just before dalek said something? :)
pmurias probably missed the existence of #p6dev?
and perhaps thought dalek was b0rked? 12:30
moritz github still says: payload URL: hack.p6c.org:8088/dalek?t=freenode,p6dev 12:32

I'm a haskeller

chrisdotcode built in grammar types?! yes, please.
perlpilot haskell is awesome too
timotimo yeah, perl6 got a lot of inspiration from the haskell comunity in the early days 13:59
chrisdotcode sir perlpilot, what is the perl name for a refinement type, a la, `sub very_odd(Int $odd where {$odd % 2}){}`?
timotimo "subset" types
chrisdotcode (or sir timotimo )
ah
thanks
perlpilot
.oO( When did we get knighted?!? )
 14:00
timotimo nii.
jnthn Mostly 'cus of the subset keyword used to introduce them... I still sometimes end up calling them refinement types.
chrisdotcode any good "I need to switch all of my python code to perl6 immediately" tutorial for someone who's never used perl?
jnthn In fact, I think the MOP objects implementing them talk about refinements on the inside.
moritz chrisdotcode: I don't think we have *that* specific tutorials :-) 14:01

DrForr It was released at Christmas.
chrisdotcode sweet
moritz chrisdotcode: it's out of beta, and in productin testing :-)
timotimo we have the 6.c release now that is like a stability promise
as in, you write "use v6.c" at the top of your script and that code will continue working unmodified with future versions
perlawhirl chris: another decent resource if you aready know python is learnxinyminutes.com/docs/perl6/ 14:08
chrisdotcode perlawhirl, yeah, I have that open in another tab, thanks
timotimo (unless you rely on bugs to be present or the behavior of features that have no tests in Roast)
14:08 El_Che joined
chrisdotcode two final questions: are subset types checked at "compile type", or at run time? and does perl6 has interfaces? 14:08
jast if you mean interfaces as in java, Perl6 has something better, called roles :} 14:09
timotimo only the base type of a refinement can be checked at compile time. not sure if we do it at all yet, though
chrisdotcode jast, more haskelly (even go)-style interfaces
timotimo "it at all", means for refinement types
we do some compile time type checking in general
14:10 rindolf joined
chrisdotcode timotimo, is there a separate compile-step, or is it done at code-interpret time, before it runs? 14:10
perlawhirl subroutine calls are mostly checked at compile time, but this is for base types, not subsets
timotimo there is a separate compile-time, but you don't invoke it manually like you would with gcc or so 14:11
jast there is a separate compile step but as a "user" you don't really notice it, just like in most other "scripting" languages
jnthn chrisdotcode: The general principle is "compile time where possible, runtime at latest", though there "where possible" factors in "stuff we've actually had time to do". :) One thing we will be careful about, though, is not making new compile-time error detection break code that declared a dependency on an earlier version of the language.
14:12 cdg joined
chrisdotcode okay, that makes sense. so as you run your code, it compile checks before it actually runs it. instead of a separate step. 14:12
that's neat
timotimo also, only modules will have the result of their compilation written away to disk
14:12 _nadim left, _nadim joined

stmuk_ perlawhirl: github.com/rakudo/rakudo/blob/nom/...t.pm6#L143
gregf_ hi
perlawhirl so, 'the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog' to a colum width of 10 would be something like this : ['the quick ', 'brown fox ', 'jumps over', ' the lazy ', 'dog.']
gregf_ is multi method similar to method overloading? 14:55
skids perlawhirl: the word you're looking for is "justification"
teatime skids: no, that doesn't seem right. 14:56
perlawhirl stmuk_++ that will do for now

moritz gregf_: we call it "multi dispatch" 15:00
gregf_: and with "overloading" we mean adding variants to an existing operator 15:01
gregf_ well, yeah, theres operator overloading and method overloading :) 15:02
multi dispatch sounds more geeky ;)
perlpilot gregf_: I don't see the distinction ;) 15:03

moritz perlawhirl: we can also resolve some multi *sub* dispatches at compile time (not method dispatches though)
jnthn Oh, I had it the other way around: overloading at compile time, MMD at runtime :)
(In that Java and co call it overloading, and resolve it at compile time) 15:05
MadcapJake how would you partition a list into pairs of values (not Pairs of values)
perlawhirl jnthn: i was talking generalities, but i did know that perl sub MD's were resolved compile time... but as to the specifics of how Perl 6 implements things... i'm not entirely clear
that's your domain :D 15:06

dha Question: I'm a little behind in my keeping up with changes. What's the state of actually using p6doc if you have rakudo installed? I note that 'p6doc -l' listed 'X', but 'p6doc X' did not result in anything useful. like, you know, docs. :-) 17:26
sjn ChristopherBotto: why not use a grammar?
dha (Note: I am apparently giving a talk on resources for beginning-ish Perl programmers at YAPC::NA, and I will be including resources for P6 in that.) 17:27
17:28 hankache left
teatime seems to work for me, did you try different X's ? 17:28
sjn ChristopherBotto: do any of the CSV modules on modules.perl6.org fit your bill?
ChristopherBotto sjn: Good question. 17:29
sjn: checking ...
dha Not yet. I noticed that things have changed since I last built rakudo, so I'm currently rebuilding.
teatime - In any case, there had been some discussion about how most people would probably go right to the web for docs, so I'm wondering where docs on one's own system stand, generally. 17:30
teatime I had assumed they are generated from the same sources. 17:31
dha I'm actually not sure where the online docs are generated from. My gut says they're generated from some version of the doc repository which may or may not be in line with whatever comes with a rakudo install. 17:33
17:34 vendethiel joined
MadcapJake dha: they're the same repo and available via panda install p6doc 17:35
sjn dha: online docs (doc.perl6.org) source is linked at the bottom of that page 17:36
dha Ah. So if you install rakudo, the docs are *not* installed until you install via panda?
MadcapJake dha: if you want to generate the website you do «make html»
stmuk_ dha: p6doc basically works from the command line
17:36 domidumont joined
MadcapJake dha: correct *unless* you installed via R* 17:36
dha stmuk_- yep, I know that. :-) I'm just trying to nail down the details for the talk. 17:37
MadcapJake R* is really the preferred installation right now and it has p6doc included
dha: rakudo.org/how-to-get-rakudo/
stmuk_ most end users want R* not R
dha MadcapJake - ah, ok. Since I was doing work on the docs (I've sadly fallen behind on that... :-( ), I've been building from the repo.
MadcapJake . o O (That site should have a list of included modules, maybe?) 17:38
dha So that's an important point. Tanks.
stmuk_ oh wow someone added pretty pics :D 17:40
MadcapJake p6doc is kinda slow, so I would suggest using doc.perl6.org TBH
17:40 molaf joined
stmuk_ MadcapJake: p6doc isn't *that* slow unless you are searching the index 17:41
MadcapJake 16 seconds to look for split, that's really slow
stmuk_ that's using the index 17:42
MadcapJake stmuk_: right if you know the exact representation, it's fast... that's not really saying much though :P
17:43 Actualeyes left
MadcapJake new users will surely hit the slow part first (and often) 17:43
stmuk_ they will hit that using p6 anyway :)
dha ok, so what I need to do is find a way to say "ok, p6doc is possibly not your best option, so you'll probably want to use the web" without actually trashing p6doc... :-) 17:44
stmuk_ except the web search doesn't work that well anyway 17:45
MadcapJake stmuk_: seriously, negative nancy? :P
stmuk_ the most practical way of searching is probably "git grep" on a doc checkout 17:46
dha Ah. So "Perl 6 doesn't have a very solid documentation system." without trashing Perl 6's documentation system. That's a little harder to render... 17:47
timotimo ChristopherBotto: it'd be a great thing to copy the example table from the test into the readme, so you can more easily see what the module actually does
17:47 hankache joined
MadcapJake dha: "p6doc is written in Perl 6 and thus faces some of the performance implications of being a new language freshly specced. Because of this, I would suggest using the web version at doc.perl6.org as it's quite a bit faster and has autocomplete support. Though you will run into a few difficulties when trying to search for operators" 17:48
stmuk_ dha: the docs are fine .. searching is the problem
dha stmuk_ - you'll note I said "documentation system" rather than just "documentation". I did that on purpose. :-) 17:49
MadcapJake - cool. thanks.
MadcapJake dha: "Though if you do decide to take the plunge and play with the command-line version, remember that searching blindly will take some time as it has to run your query against an index containing all the different type's variations on methods. One way to speed it up is to include the type you are searching for e.g., Type::Str.split rather than just split" 17:50
stmuk_ dha: I would also warn people of using google to search for perl 6 docs since most google hits are outdated or at worst misleading
MadcapJake stmuk_++ # very good point
timotimo travis-ci.org/perl6/doc/builds/120673685 - anyone got a clue what these warnings are about/where they come from? 17:51
stmuk_ dha: also point ppl at the faq 17:52

[Coke] timotimo: --target==jar, mebbe. 19:13
but rakudo-jvm isn't fully baked at the moment. And if it were solid, it doesn't have 100% feature parity with rakudo-moar
timotimo yeah, but you can't "java -jar MyGreatModule.jar"
sortiz masak, DBError is in fact X::DBIish::DBError, a package scoped class defined in DBDish::ErrorHandling. Is Bailador doing some trick with GLOBAL::? 19:17
19:18 ILikeBears left
[Coke] timotimo: no, but you can examine rakudo-j and see what it's doing. I imagine it's a SMOP. 19:24
19:24 kaare_ left
dha Hm. Interesting. 'p6doc X' says "X is a builtin type. You can use it without loading a module." But there seems to be no documentation for X. This seems, at best, misleading. 19:25
[Coke] m: X;
camelia rakudo-moar 0e95cd: OUTPUT«WARNINGS for /tmp/9hl3GzorkX:␤Useless use of constant value X in sink context (line 1)␤» 19:26
[Coke] m: X.WHAT.say;
camelia rakudo-moar 0e95cd: OUTPUT«(X)␤»
dha Perhaps I'm wrong, but it seems to me that if it's a builtin type, there should be docs on how that type works. Unless you're never meant to use it, but only use subclasses of it, in which case, I'd think the response from p6doc should indicate that. 19:27
RabidGravy it's a package, not very typey 19:28
dha Then, perhaps p6doc should indicate that. :-)
[Coke] THere should be docs on everything,s ure.
There are definitely gaps in the docs, sure.
dha it's listed in the output of p6doc -l, which supposedly lists "some top level documents", but there does not seem to be any document for X. 19:29
RabidGravy m: say X.HOW
camelia rakudo-moar 0e95cd: OUTPUT«Perl6::Metamodel::PackageHOW.new␤»
RabidGravy it doesn't have any methods and doesn't do anything 19:30
19:30 kaare_ joined
sortiz Yes, is only the base package of all public exception classes. 19:31
dha I mean, I have no problem with the documentation being fairly minimal if it doesn't do anything, but this still seems like a mismatch between the (nonexistent?) doc for it and what p6doc says about it.
[Coke] dha: yes. there are gaps.
Are you asking if this particular gap is intentional?
RabidGravy no what p6doc is saying is 19:32
dha In fact, as I can't find an actual document about X, I'm not sure where p6doc is getting what it says.
RabidGravy m: require X;
camelia rakudo-moar 0e95cd: OUTPUT«X is a builtin type. You can use it without loading a module.␤ in block <unit> at /tmp/7_TT2BBWPe line 1␤␤»
19:33 YP-QMUL-W left
dha [Coke] - I guess what I'm saying is, since this gap has been noticed, maybe it should be noted somewhere so that, as we try to close gaps (which I assume is an eventual goal), we know what the known gaps are. 19:33
RabidGravy it's possibly something that needs fixing in p6doc, but that's all that happens 19:34
19:34 dvinciguerra_ left
[Coke] dha: sure. perhaps a ticket in perl6/docs/issues ? 19:34
assuming that it's the same repo, and not somehow tied more directly to rakudo.
dha RabidGravy - That seems reasonable. "but that's all that happens" seems to make it sound like it's not worth doing, though. I, personally would not agree with that.
19:35 domidumont left
RabidGravy X only exists because e.g. X::AdHoc does 19:35
it's an implementation detail 19:36
dha It is quite possible that I'm worrying about what happens for people just coming to Perl 6, and that's not something the community at large sees as a high priority currently (not intended as a criticism, btw)
RabidGravy - Indeed, but potentially confusing for someone looking to learn P6 and poking around. 19:37
Myself, I might well be satisfied if p6doc -l wouldn't list it, as it seems to not agree with what the p6doc help page indicates -l does. Not sure if that would fully solve problems for newcomers, though. That particular point could easily be a lower priority discussion, though. 19:39

stmuk dha: I suspect the correct fix for p6doc X is to modify the p6doc -l search to ignore directories 20:32
dha stmuk - That actually sounds correct. 20:33
That may also solve the issue that, for instance, Backtrace shows up twice. 20:34
20:36 espadrine_ joined
dha Huh. Also, p6doc seems to take arguments as case-insensitive. Is that by design? 20:36
(i.e. p6doc but gives the doc for Buf)
s/but/buf/; #damn you autocorrect
stmuk probably 20:37
dha Interesting... 'p6doc dudish' does *not* work. 20:38
So that's... inconsistent if case-insensitivity is intended. 20:39
stmuk I don't see case-insenitivity at a quick look
dha Frankly, I found 'p6doc buf' working to be a surprise. 20:40
stmuk are you on windows?
dha nope. os X 10.10.5 20:41
stmuk well that's case insensitive fs as well
dha Still, that wouldn't explain why buf would work, but dbdish wouldn't. 20:42
stmuk I think it's a partial explanation 20:43
dha could be. possibly hard to confirm, given the inconsistency, though.
[Coke] dha: dbdish or dudish? 20:44
dha gah. dbdish.
Ulti so sent some pull requests to the guy running glot.io
dha turns off autocorrect 20:45
Ulti hopefully they are enough for it to either "just work" or for the main author to get going on adding Perl 6
stmuk 'p6doc buf' works on my mac and not on linux so I'd say that's fs related
Ulti also the project is a little zany in its written in Go Erlang and Haskell as well as a load of JavaScript
20:46 kaare_ left
Ulti and has a different repository for each language that you have to edit 20:46
which makes creating a PR kind of impossible
dha Oh, and this is exciting. 'p6doc Debugger::UI::CommandLine' gives me a 'Dynamic variable $*DEBUG_HOOKS not found' error
stmuk dha: that's probably a "perl6 --doc" error
dha: I just get "No Pod found" 20:48
dha yeah, I just looked in the relevant directory and that type's not there. So I'm not sure why I'm getting that dynamic variable error. 20:50
stmuk dha: setting P6DOC_DEBUG=1 as an env var might help with some of this
20:51 skids left
stmuk dha: it does need quite a lot of work TBH 20:51
dha Yeah. I appear to just be uncovering weird edge cases today. :-) 20:52

stmuk ZoffixWin: sounds like a job for github.com/stmuk/p6-eco-readme 21:01
dha ZoffixWin - that doesn't help someone trying to use p6doc to read the docs. :-/
ZoffixWin stmuk++

And, FWIW, I find the fact that so many modules lack pod a problem. Having two different places to look for documentation feels wrong. YMMV, of course. 21:03
21:04 rindolf left
ZoffixWin I think that's largely due to GitHub not supporting P6 POD. 21:04
teatime dha: 3rd party modules not being documented w/ pod doesn't seem like a p6doc problem / a problem p6doc can fix.
ZoffixWin Personally, I hate reading from command line.
dha teatime - Obviously. Still, IMO, a problem. Contrary to what may be popular belief from my interaction today, p6doc is not my only concern. :-) 21:05
ZoffixWin - I forget, are/were you a Perl 5 programmer?
stmuk I don't exclusively use web docs and p6doc is useful to me 21:06
ZoffixWin dha, yeah. I always use metacpan. Other than perldoc -f funct for core subs
stmuk also I might be on a plane or out of network coverage
dha Ok. Just wondered, because a lot of p5 people are pretty used to using perldoc. But maybe that just isn't the right solution for you. I still suspect that many people coming from p5 to p6 would look to use a perldoc-ish solution. 21:07
Also, I always want to render metacpan as meatcpan. But that may not be relevant. :-) 21:08

perlpilot Looks like they use the README on that site (What pitiful docs I have for File::Temp are only in the README and it shows up on that site) 21:21
MadcapJake perlpilot: it also tries to pull docs from your module files too 21:22
perlpilot aye.
I really don't favor using the README for docs like that though. It seems .... poor
dha perlpilot - If it makes you feel any better, p6doc *does* give a result for File::Temp... 21:23
tony-o perlpilot++ on finding inline docs distracting 21:24
dha I conditionally disagree. I think it varies from module to module whether inline docs are useful or not. 21:27
hoelzro <2c> I like end-of-file docs for overview and examples, but inline for a brief description of how to use a given sub so I can have my editor navigate to those docs when I run a mapping when my cursor is on a symbol </2c> 21:28
21:28 AlexDaniel joined
MadcapJake looks like sixdoc uses «perl6 --doc=HTML» under the hood 21:29
dha this is an area where I find hard and fast rules to be potentially counter-productive.
AlexDaniel MadcapJake: yeah, #↓ and #← are nice… 21:30
MadcapJake if only that worked :)
AlexDaniel yeah…

MadcapJake can you access pod docs from within Perl 6?
RabidGravy yeah 21:35
$=pod or something
dha Do we have a useable debugger yet? 21:37
MadcapJake RabidGravy: I think the = twigil is NYI 21:38
RabidGravy no it definitely does something
not completely implemented probably 21:39

MadcapJake ok so after some more fiddling, $=pod explicitly is working, it is a collection of all pod blocks in a file, I think. 21:40
dha Good lord. Why does p6doc declare a $PROGRAM-NAME? And then only use it to assign it to a variable called $me? And then, in a function, use $*PROGRAM-NAME? 21:41
dha is starting to consider p6doc one of the levels of hell
Herby_ 7th level? 21:42
21:43 kid51 joined
dha Hard to tell. I've lost all sense of depth and direction at this point 21:44
stmuk dha: because the $*PROGRAM-NAME which once was a program name became a SHA1 hash 21:45
dha It... did?
rjbs Weird. 21:46
dha Because a program with the single command 'say $*PROGRAM-NAME;' actually prints the program name.
21:47 buharin left
stmuk because a shim named as the program calls a filename with a SHA1 hash after installation 21:47
tony-o dha: try precomping the script and then do $*PROGRAM-NAME 21:48
dha ah. ok. I have not been precompiling anything.
stmuk assuming you aren't using rakudobrew in which case there is another level of shims 21:49
:)
dha And, now that you're saying that, given the directories where modules seem to live, the SHA1 thing makes some sense in context.
stmuk yes
dha The assignment of $PROGRAM-NAME to $me still makes me stare in amazement. 21:50
stmuk is surprised anyone would find programming brokeness unusual 21:53
MadcapJake Is there any up-to-date docs on $*REPO and CUR?
perlpilot stmuk: but Perl people are smarter than your average programmer! ;)

Juerd X is a meta-operator on ~ in this case. 22:11
22:11 cognominal_ left
dha Great! Is that, heaven forbid, documented anywhere? Searching for X, ~, and X~ are all non-helpful. 22:11
Juerd It's documented, just hard to find: doc.perl6.org/language/operators#Cross_Operators 22:12
timotimo hmm, perhaps "cross"?
oh well
MadcapJake tadzik: how does Panda figure out what modules are installed?
timotimo that is hard, in deed
MadcapJake: it has its own little "state" file
MadcapJake projects.json, right? How is it populated though? 22:13
dha Juerd - Hard to find, BAD. :-/
sortiz now know why dna++ quest started! ;-)
dha Although, my mistake. there is an example at the bottom of the doc for infix X
MadcapJake timotimo: I think this is it: ecosystem-api.p6c.org/projects.json 22:14
tadzik MadcapJake: no, its own state file
Juerd I think that X is one of those things that many Perl 6 folks take for granted without still realizing how special it is. 22:15
dha yeah. it kinda makes my head hurt. especially when used as a metaoperator
timotimo MadcapJake: no, that's not what it is 22:16
Juerd My way of doing the same thing in Perl 5 would make your head hurt even more ;)
timotimo the thing we really need is a text field you can paste some code into that'll tell you what things are and refer to.

dha so... did my question about docs on smart matching get through before I got disconnected? 22:37
Herby__ [16:15] <dha> yeah. it kinda makes my head hurt. especially when used as a metaoperator 22:38
thats the last thing i see from you 22:39
dha ah.
so...
Speaking of smartness, is there anything in the docs about how smart matching works? The only actual description I'm seeing is in the design documents.
stmuk dha: no 22:42
dha Ah. Again, that seems... not good. particularly if you're trying to figure out how grep is supposed to work. 22:43
22:43 wamba left 22:44 skids joined
dha Because the result of C<<perl6 -e 'say ($*REPO.repo-chain()>>.Str X~ </doc/>).grep: *.IO.d'>> is confusing me, given the result of C<<perl6 -e 'say $*REPO.repo-chain()>>.Str X~ </doc/>'>> 22:44
Juerd If that's like Perl 5 POD (I really haven't looked at Perl 6 POD yet), whitespace is mandatory within C<< ... >> 22:51
;)
There doesn't seem to be a smart match in your code. 22:52

*with* the grep, I get "(/Users/dha/rakudo/install/share/perl6/doc/)" 23:00
stmuk I think that's intended behaviour
Juerd Do any of the others exist as a directory then?
stmuk probably not
Juerd At least Perl 6 thinks they don't
lizmat wrt to smart match: A ~~ B is basically B.ACCEPTS(A)
stmuk the Build.pm for doc creates a doc directory 23:01
lizmat m: class A { has $.a; method ACCEPTS(\other) { dd self, other } }; A.new(a => 42) ~~ A.new(a => 666)
camelia rakudo-moar 0e95cd: OUTPUT«A.new(a => 666)␤A.new(a => 42)␤»
Juerd dha: Note that .IO.d is like -d in Perl 5. It only returns true if the given path exists *and* is a directory.
stmuk the X~ is probably not needed in that case anymore 23:02
the core docs used to be under lib but were moved under a doc directory
23:02 dvinciguerra_ left
dha Ah. I knew that .d was a dir test, the *.IO confused me. 23:02
stmuk m: say "/tmp".IO.^name 23:03
camelia rakudo-moar 0e95cd: OUTPUT«IO::Path␤»
dha In any case, it looks to me like that problem I was looking at hours ago can be solved by putting a .d test in the routine that handles p6doc -l
ok, I see that you need the IO because .d comes from an IO class, but what is the * doing there? 23:06
dha wonders if this would make more sense if he ate something
lizmat wonders whether terms like "eager" and "slurpy" help with this feeling 23:07
dha On the other hand it may just be the senility
23:08 vendethiel joined
lizmat or sleepiness... 23:08
good night, #perl6!
Juerd dha: An expression with * is turned into a closure where * is the parameter/argument. In other words, * + 2 is just another way to write -> $x { $x + 2 } and *.IO.d is just another way to write -> $f { $f.IO.d } 23:09
23:09 lizmat left
Juerd Or even sub ($x) { $x + 2 } and sub ($f) { $f.IO.d } 23:09
dha Ah. so it's not precisely, but vaguely $_-ish? 23:10
Juerd Or, because timttwtdi, { $^x + 2 } and { $^f.IO.d }
It's used in places where you might have used $_ in Perl 5.
dha *nod* Ok, I think I get it sufficiently for my current purposes. 23:11
Juerd Or actually, grep does alias $_ so if you like you can use that too
dha makes mental note to start poking people likely to write perl 6 books to start doing so. :-)
Juerd foo.grep: { $_.IO.d } or foo.grep: { .IO.d }
ZoffixWin or foo.grep: *.IO.D 23:12
s/D/d/;
Juerd ZoffixWin: That's what we started with :)
ZoffixWin Oh, sorry :)
ZoffixWin goes back to drinking and writing code :)
dha huh. the .IO.d version requires the braces... 23:13
Juerd dha: Yes. grep requires a closure
dha: Only expressions with * are braceless closures. Other closures require {}.
$_ doesn't do that.
23:14 firstdayonthejob left, spintronic joined
Juerd $_ is just a variable, nothing special about it. 23:14
dha Ah. ok, got it.
23:14 chrisdotcode left
Juerd Except perhaps that it's declared by default and at one point you'll run into that you're actually using $_ instead of what you wanted to use. 23:15
ZoffixWin dha, in essence the * gets changed into an $_ and the thing gets wrapped in curlies: *.foo -> { $_.foo }; * < 100 -> { $_ < 100 }; etc
Juerd Specifically, in a method, $_ is *not* self, and .foo still is short for $_.foo, so don't use that to mean self.foo.
ZoffixWin More or less... I guess it's more it gets changed into $^a
As * + * is { $^a + $^b } 23:16
Juerd ZoffixWin: -> $_ { $_.foo }
Or any other _
dha Ok, that makes sense.
Juerd IIRC, * has nothing to do with $_
dha It's amazing how far down the rabbit hole you can go when just trying to fix a minor oddity in p6doc...
Juerd dha: Sure, but without books we'll have to make do with trying to fix bugs as a means to learn the language ;) 23:17
I see it's working for you :D
dha Apparently, that's what I'm doing. :-)
Juerd I think I learned most of the modern Perl 6 that I know from its own source 23:18
(I say modern Perl 6 because I can't seem to unlearn the never-implemented design-phase Perl 6 thingies.)

dha Good lord. when you use p6doc, it uses the p6doc under your rakudo installation's /install/share/perl6/site/bin directory, which is a program that looks for *other* p6doc programs, and then runs one of *those* 23:59
