TimToady well, it's consistent anyway
00:02 mniip joined
s34n TimToady: how did we get a multi here? 00:02
TimToady dunno why the scope is '' though, should be 'my'
a proto rule automatically forces its subrules to be multi, you don't have to say 'multi' explicitly 00:03
s34n how did we get subrules? 00:04
TimToady I mean the candidate rules that match the name of the proto
(on the front)
s34n so mult-operator would become a subrule of mult-op? 00:05
because the name mult-op doesn't match mult-op:sym<times> to me 00:06
TimToady well, subrule is probably the wrong name for a candidate, since usually we mean something called directly via <foo> when we say "subrule"
the multies are called indirectly through the proto
s34n how does mult-op:sym<times> get connected to mult-op? 00:07
how are they associated with each other?
TimToady when the grammar calls <infix>, all the infix:sym<*> are really just alternate definitions that the proto knows about, and it arranges to call the candidates in order of which ones matched the longest token
geekosaur oh, it does do that 00:08
TimToady LTM just gives an ordering to call the candidates, but the first candidate must still match entirely, or it bombs out and goes to the next candidate, and so on
00:09 cdg left
s34n again, how are mult-op and mult-op:sym<times> associated with each other? 00:10
00:10 geekosaur left
ShimmerFairy s34n: via an explicit proto token mult-op {*} definition in the grammar 00:11
s34n given any identifier, how can I find all identifiers of the same name appended with a pair?
ShimmerFairy I'm not sure, actually. Most likely via methods in the MOP somewhere, though it may likely be difficult. 00:12
s34n $foo and $foo:bar<baz> can be associated somehow?
TimToady you don't have to worry about that, and shouldn't
it'd be like a parent class trying to determine all the possible methods of its derived classes 00:13
the whole point is that it's extensible by child classes
00:13 geekosaur joined
s34n TimToady: yes. i have to worry about with my current lack of understanding. I have to know if mult-operation will be associated with mult-op 00:13

doc colon pair as part of identifier
c: f1bf208 | (Wenzel P. P. Peppmeyer)++ | htmlify.p6:

TimToady you mean because "mult-operation" starts with "mult-op"? 00:14
no
it must match everything before the :sym
accidental prefixes won't accidentally trigger any inadvertent behaviors 00:15
s34n so the fact that there's a pair included in the identifier makes a difference?
ShimmerFairy TimToady: Now I wonder what $a:b<c> provides for variables (I know why grammar rules make use of it, but don't see how that extends to variable names).
TimToady yes, it's a requirement for candidate tokens 00:16
s34n TimToady: what about mult-op:times ?
TimToady with variables, it only lets you sneak non-ident chars into the identity
s34n :times isn't a pair, so it doesn't count?
TimToady yes, that's a pair
it just defaults the value to True 00:17

s34n zacts: Larry Wall recently stated that rakudo has become twice as fast since Christmas
TimToady well, it depends on what you're actually doing, of course
zacts cool! thanks 00:40
nice progress!
gfldex Pod::To::BigPage (what avoids class as hard as possible) is nearly 3x as fast these days
atually it's more then 3x because the docs have grown quite a bit too 00:41
00:42 kurahaupo left
s34n TimToady: so the pair in the identifier somehow makes the token subordinate to the proto? 00:43
TimToady precisely :) 00:46
s34n TimToady: but it has to be a pair. there's no other trigger?
TimToady correct, as currently implemented 00:47
doubtless there's some ways by sneaking in at the meta level to add other candidates, but we don't support that at the language level
and if you try to, we'll be sure to break it in the future :) 00:48
zacts installs perl6 00:53
s34n what does ~ mean inside a regex? 00:56
ShimmerFairy It's a way to group open/close delimiters together visually
e.g. / '(' ~ ')' <inner-stuff> / vs. / '(' <inner-stuff> ')' / . The specs claim improved diagnostics as another plus, but I don't know if that's actually implemented in reality. 00:57
TimToady m: say [ "stuff" 01:05

TimToady there's an example of it 01:06
Juerd How would you get a similar diagnostic from a simple regex match?
TimToady you have to define FAILGOAL to get a diagnostic instead of backtracking 01:07
it always used to fail immediately, but last year it was argued that backtracking was a more expected default

Woodi hi #perl6 :) 05:38
geekosaur not sure conflating the regex slang with signatures is a great idea 05:39
Woodi I have problem with matching \s\n after \w+ % \s ... is it OK ? pastebin.com/P1B1SzUR
s34n geekosaur: no. it isn't. (I made a clumsy excuse before doing so) 05:40
at any rate I figured out the proper way of doing it (I think) 05:41
I was just playing around with defining a markup tag. I want the beginning tag and ending tag to have the same name... 05:42
geekosaur wonders how relevant it is that n matches s 05:43
s34n so I have token btag { '<' <name=identifier> blah blah '>' }; token etag($name) { '<' '/' $name '>' }; token tag { (<btag>) ~ <etag($1[name])> [blah blah] } 05:46
s34n knows $1[name] needs cleaned up 05:47
konobi well, tokens are objects just like any other, no? 05:48
s34n maybe $0[$<name>] ?
I want to invoke etag with the 'name' capture from the preceding btag 05:49
konobi s34n: maybe look at "terms" 05:50
s34n named captures are still numbered, no? 05:51
I've read about nested numbered captures here: docs.perl6.org/language/regexes.ht...re_numbers 05:52
but the next section on named captures doesn't discuss nesting 05:53
oops. yes it does
geekosaur wouldn't that last be something like: token tag { <btag> ~ <etag($<btag>)> ... } 05:55
s34n geekosaur: no. it needs to match just the $<name> from $<btag> 05:56
can you backreference $<btag> like that within the regex?
geekosaur $<btag><name> perhaps, then? I think you can backref like that, yes; named shoul be no different from numbered in that respect 05:57
s34n ok. yes. I see you can
yeah. <etag($<btag><name>)>
so a naive markup language can be defined in <20 sloc, very readable 06:00

at Testing WebService::FootballData some test files give some errors, Failed to rename file: operation not permitted 07:58
07:59 kurahaupo joined, GNUYawk joined
CIAvash do you know what's going on? 07:59
nine The rename is this one: github.com/rakudo/rakudo/blob/nom/...le.pm#L177 08:00
It renames the .tmp file over the existing file.
As far as I could find out when implementing that, this should work on Windows just as well. But I have no way of testing that. 08:01
It's been that way for 2 months without anyone reporting an issue. So I wonder if we just have almost no Windows users or if it is a machine specific issue. 08:02
08:03 rindolf joined
CIAvash For this specific case the problem was solved by skipping tests, because the problem only occurs on some test files 08:05
rupert160 have updated my raduko version anyway 08:07
nine It could be that the rename fails if the file in question is still open
By some other process that is. Maybe even by some antivirus software.

jnthn konobi: Supplies are observables, very much in the rxjs sense (though in reality more was borrowed from the original Rx, which is what I'm familiar with). 09:51
If you look through the set of Rx methods, you'll find Perl 6 equivalents of many of them :) 09:53
Supply.interval(0.5).tap(*.say); sleep 3 # Perl 6 for Observable.Interval(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(0.5)).Subscribe(Console.WriteLine); Thread.Sleep(3000); in Rx.NET :) 09:54
Though interval is one of the relatively few cases where we did take the name verbatim :) 09:55
konobi jnthn: oh... awesome 09:57
jnthn: could they use kdbus?
jnthn konobi: Depends what you mean by "use". Certainly supplies have been used already in modules to expose things like message queues. 09:58
konobi: Note that neither supplies nor Rx involve a message bus in the traditional sense. 09:59
konobi jnthn: well, if they were to all have some sort of bus, you could dynamically add things like an auditing observer 10:00
or forking some off for multiprocessing 10:01
10:02 trnh joined
konobi heh... distributed supply filters =0) 10:04
jnthn I suspect that's the kind of thing you could build on top of supplies. Really, they're just a chain of callbacks with a nice API for termination and errors, a bunch of useful combinators and - in Perl 6 - some syntactic support so you don't have to think in callbacks (react/suppl/whenever blocks). 10:05
They're really our ascynrhonous Seq
A Seq is a means of consuming values that you pull. Doesn't matter if they're lines from a file, rows from a database, etc. 10:06
konobi yup 10:07
jnthn Supply is a means of receiving values as they're produced. Doesn't matter if they're messages of a queue, ticks of a timer, file system notifications, incoming socket connections, etc.
konobi could also be a way to layer authorization checks against tainted inputs

Xliff Heya! What's the best way to see if an object has a specific attribute? 12:43
nine Xliff: define a role that makes the accessor mandatory and have all objects eligible do this role? 12:44
Xliff m: class A { has $.a1; has $.b1 }; my $a = A.new; say $a.can("a1") 12:45
camelia rakudo-moar 43debe: OUTPUT«(a1)␤»
Xliff m: class A { has $.a1; has $.b1 }; my $a = A.new; say $a.can("a2")
camelia rakudo-moar 43debe: OUTPUT«()␤»
Xliff nine: Yes. I was just thinking about that, but in some cases there are attributes that are common across all classes that I want to access in a general way. 12:46
psch m: class A { has $.a1; has $.b1 }; my $a = A.new; $a.^attributes.grep(*.name eq '$!a1').say
camelia rakudo-moar 43debe: OUTPUT«(Mu $!a1)␤»
Xliff What's wrong with using can() like I did above?
psch .can checks for methods
autogenerated accessors aren't real methods
Xliff So why did the test above, work? 12:47
psch oh
didn't see the first line
Xliff :)
psch well, they seem to show up there
so they are real enough for can
Xliff I *just* thought about it after that after I asked.
Previously, I was leaning toward your solution.
psch m: class A { has $!a1; has $.b1 }; my $a = A.new; say $a.can('a1'); $a.^attributes.grep(*.name eq '$!a1').say # this is what's wrong
camelia rakudo-moar 43debe: OUTPUT«()␤(Mu $!a1)␤»
psch well, it's really doing something different entirely
Xliff psch++ - That's true, but those attributes are private, so no public autogenerated accessors, right? 12:48
psch if you're asking with can you're asking for a method. the fact that the method in this case is an autogen'd accessor and thus corresponds with the Attribute is expected, but not necessarily always true
Xliff m: class A { has $!a1; has $.b1 }; my $a = A.new; say $a.can('a1'); say $a.can("b1"); $a.^attributes.grep(*.name eq '$!a1').say # this is what's wrong 12:49
camelia rakudo-moar 43debe: OUTPUT«()␤(b1)␤(Mu $!a1)␤»
Xliff OK.

camelia ( no output )
psch it really depends on what you want to do, in any case
if you want to call a given method on a set of classes that might or might not have it i'd probably just use .? 12:50
Xliff Yeah. That's an insane use case, and I'm not that crazy ^_^
Yeah, but I need to do a .defined afterward. Not sure if .? would work.
So "$obj.maybe_not_attribute.defined" 12:51
So adding "$obj.can("maybe_not_attrubute") && …" would be an acceptable addition to the logic. 12:52
psch m: class A { has $.a = "foo" }; class B { }; my @a = A.new, B.new; @a [R//]= @a>>.?a; say @a.perl

skrshn awwaiid: thanks. does grep spawn more threads? 15:33
awwaiid: I guess you already answered the question "contents of that aren't parallelized" 15:34
awwaiid skrshn: it does if it is mapping over a stream (whatever those are called). This was broken last time I tried, but you should be able to do like ^1000.race.map{...}, the .race takes some params to set the batch size and thread count 15:35

camelia rakudo-moar 478671: OUTPUT«(36 4 64 1 25 9 81 16 0 49)␤»
psch it's true though, start doesn't create the thread, the scheduler just shoves the promise's code into a thread 15:42
gfldex skrshn: calling .result will block and get the Promise scheduled.
skrshn: see: github.com/rakudo/rakudo/blob/nom/...se.pm#L105 15:43
skrshn gfldex: thanks. So the thread is spawned when I do .result
awwaiid m: say (^10).race(batch => 1, degree => 4).map({ say $*THREAD; $^a ** 2 }).list.reduce(* + *) # map-reduce, the .list collapses 15:45

gfldex skrshn: it may or may not spawn a thread, it does not depend on the Promise if that happens.
skrshn: in fact it depends on the vm, and I don't speak moar.
psch skrshn: my advice is "stop thinking about threads". promises as an abstraction exist explicitily so you don't have to worry about what happens 15:46
awwaiid actually you can take out the .list in my example. So you can do .race.map({...}).reduce({...})
psch skrshn: that is, as long as you don't want to work on better async support on moar... :)

sena_kun Are there any docs about precompilation usage? 16:09
gfldex sena_kun: it's transparent. If you want to precompile by hand, there is no proper API for that but we got code examples if you feel adventurous. 16:10
sena_kun gfldex, I feel like nobody will accept my simple version of docs caching, so I'm going to investigate existing precompilation code in htmlify. At least some little insight about how it works will be good, I suppose. 16:12
gfldex sena_kun: see github.com/gfldex/perl6-pod-to-big...nepage#L63 16:13
16:13 RabidGravy joined
timotimo if we had a different method than "eval the code concatenated with '$=POD' at the end" for getting the pod contents, it'd be possible to pre-compile, i feel like 16:13
BenGoldberg If I ask camelia to run some code from a gist, twice, does the compiled version get cached?
gfldex timotimo: we already precompile the docs
timotimo we ... we do?
gfldex did you not notice how fast the html is delivered these days? :-> 16:14
timotimo i actually never rendered the docs myself, nor followed the time between doc changes and website updates :( 16:15
well, not never, but not in the last months
which just means that both those things are so good & pleasant, that i don't notice them at all 16:16
good job, doc tech team :D
16:17 pmurias joined
BenGoldberg Docs are one of those things where it doesn't make much sense to htmlify on the fly. 16:18
timotimo well, that was never part of the design, anyway
sena_kun gfldex, but precompilation is slightly different from caching, isn't it? Or github.com/perl6/doc/issues/717 can be closed? Or I'm missing something important with this discussion.
gfldex BigPage needs 21s with 2 threads with hot caches to produce all the html minus the /routine/ stuff. 16:19
16:20 dakkar left
gfldex it may actually be reasonable to produce html from parsed pod files directly. But there are more pressing issues right now. 16:20
sena_kun: it 16:21
sena_kun: it's something completely different (and mostrous)
sena_kun gfldex, I thought so. 16:22
gfldex sena_kun: if you want to work on the build process and create something cool, you could take the output of BigPage under html/perl6.xhtml and try to produce xmldiffs, that are also xhtml-fragments, and combine them to something presentable. That would allow us to produce diffs of the docs between Rakudo Star releases. 16:23
sena_kun gfldex, I just want to close doc issues. (: 16:24
AlexDaniel sena_kun: oh, really? I have something for you 16:26
sena_kun But it seems a bit interesting, maybe I'll try to do this. Thanks for advice.

sena_kun AlexDaniel, actual fix is already there. And I can't do actual writing, so only search/build issues, I suppose.

jnthn gfldex: fwiw, psch' answer was right: $*THREAD certainly represents an OS thread, but its ID is an internal one. 17:54

timotimo changing $*THREAD will do fuck all :) 18:02
oh, you mean seeing that $*THREAD has changed
gfldex in the sense of watching that change, yes 18:03
so threads are basicly: "What do I know."
ugexe i thought the same $*THREAD.id could represent 2 different threads over the course of a long running process, and that comparing to $*THREAD itself was the only way to know if it was the same thread 18:05
jnthn Right, if you want to compare if you have the same thread, comparing $*THREAD is the safe way. 18:08
Though if you know they're all thread pool threads that are for the application lifetime then looking at the ID is a good enough approximation 18:09

gfldex AlexDaniel: you may want to grep first before you make such plans :-> 18:58
AlexDaniel sena_kun: anyway, so I looked at #725 and have some questions
gfldex: I did, there are not too many
sena_kun AlexDaniel, go ahead.
gfldex AlexDaniel: you also have to look for any Z<...> or =comment because they may not contain TODO 18:59
18:59 pyrimidine joined
AlexDaniel sena_kun: you do ｢slurp $cache-filename;｣ in ｢process-pod-dir｣, which means that it will be slurped several times per run. Any reason not to pull it somewhere higher? 19:00
sure it's not critical at all, but it kinda adds up to the weirdness of the whole htmlify code 19:02
gfldex AlexDaniel: that's needs to be rewritten in a separat module anyway because we would do much better to generate .pod instead of .html for /routine/* and listings. That would allow us to share that work with different renderes including LaTeX, what leads to pdfs and properly printable docs. 19:03
sena_kun AlexDaniel, hmm. It can be done, I think. I didn't want to make MAIN harder to read and was trying to tie problem in just one function.
AlexDaniel sena_kun: then, you have ｢if $content ~~ m/$file ': ' (.+?)\n/ {｣ to find a hash for some file. Which works, sure, but again it's not pretty. Instead, just use a hash. Therefore I recommend to hashes.info into hashes.json, will make life much easier 19:04
.oO(a hash of hashes, great)
 19:05
% I mean
gfldex you could add caching via wrapping of slurp
actually, is it actually slurps pod files, it's not using precomp what is wrong. 19:06
sena_kun AlexDaniel, it's true, but I wanted to use plain text, because plain text is always a plain text. Yes, it can be rewrited with something better than just file to go through every time.
AlexDaniel gfldex: if so, perhaps you can write a comment on #725?

however, the sub i'm trying to call there is annotated as "returns int32"

CArray of CStruct is not properly implemented yet

someone want to rakudobug that? 22:13

camelia rakudo-moar 478671: OUTPUT«c␤»
ovibos is there any way to use a list as the key of a hash?
first example doesn't typecheck because the list is coerced to a str (i assume), second doesn't work because i think it's using the address of the list instead of the values 22:50
third works but i need to be able to construct the lists dynamically
lizmat m: my List $l = ('a', 'b'); my Str %h{List} = $l => 'c'; dd %h 22:52
camelia rakudo-moar 478671: OUTPUT«Hash[Str,List] %h = (my Str %{List} = (("a", "b")) => "c")␤»
lizmat looks to me it isn't coerced to a Str :-)

Xliff Does anyone know why I can co-erce some repr('CPointer') classes to Numeric and not others? 23:04
I wish I had an easy golf for this, but I don't.
Cannot resolve caller Numeric(xmlDtdPtr: ); none of these signatures match:

ShimmerFairy I wish the docs were more clear about what various roles expect of your class, e.g. the Numeric role. (Also, that P6 would actually define stubs for these roles for required methods.) 23:54
