:(**@rest, *%rest) should i use my \MY-CONSTANT = 42; or my constant MY-CONSTANT = 42; 08:27
Nahita not exactly interchangable in general, constant evaluates its RHS at compile time 08:41

Raku eval
:(**@rest, *%rest) it timed out?
instead of stack overflowing 08:48
hmm

Raku eval
Zephyr it ran successfully without errors, just that doesn't invoke a function call if I'm right
:(**@rest, *%rest) m: sub forever { forever } forever 08:53
Raku eval
Zephyr m: my &_ = { &_() }; _()
Raku eval
Zephyr oh huh
it doesn't show timeout message?
:(**@rest, *%rest) yeah mb
Zephyr weird, maybe glot.io's API doesn't return anything on timeout/resource overuse 08:54
I ran that on my repl and it used up all resources pretty quick
:(**@rest, *%rest) does it overflow stack? 08:55
Zephyr all my CPU & RAM was used before it could overflow it seems 08:56
as it should be known I'm nowhere near fluent in Raku so I'm not sure about the specifics, apologies 08:57

stevied I'm trying to get more comfortable with using trait_mod . But I really don't understand the syntax: docs.raku.org/type/Sub#index-entry...eclarator) 15:11
"It is declared with the trait_mod declarator followed by a colon and a string literal containing the name of the trait. "
so I don't understand what the role of :<is> is for one 15:15
Nemokosch well, it's just a name 15:16
stevied name of what?
Nemokosch the trait
has $!blah is built
there is your is
there is also does 15:17
stevied i always considred "is built" or maybe "built" to be the trait
Nemokosch technically, it's a dispatch of is
stevied docs.raku.org/syntax/is 15:18
"The trait is accepts a type object to be added as a parent class of a class in its definition. " 15:19
read that 5 times, still can't figure it out
Nemokosch also, this is like only one candidate 15:20
I think this genuinely seems to be a horrible way to say: you can use is to declare the base class of a class
class Array is List 15:21
like this
stevied ok
so I understand a trait adds a hook at compile time 15:22

:(**@rest, *%rest) what
stevied os the :<is> part can be called anything?
:(**@rest, *%rest) trait name
what am i wrong at @Nemokosch 15:24
Nemokosch what did you even change? 15:27
stevied i don't think you can just pick any random name to replace <is>
Nemokosch probably not
but it doesn't help that we see three completely ad-hoc errors for three similar codes 15:28
:(**@rest, *%rest) - i defined a custom trait, now what? - two terms in a row 15:29
Nemokosch > Cannot add tokens of category 'trait-mod'
but why the other error
what did you change? 15:30
:(**@rest, *%rest) trait-mod becomes trait_mod 15:31
and raku only lets you define is does handles i think
Nemokosch it doesn't say it would be invalid to define a new one, then 15:32
iirc 15:33
15:39 Guest3742 joined, ab5tract left
stevied ok, so it seems like trait_mod adds in a multi subroutine for the "is" trait 15:44
Guest3742 Hi all. I'm trying to pass list literals into a code block: for a, b, c -> @in { ...}, where a b & c are each lists of integers. If I write the lists as "(1, 2, ...)" all's good. If I write the lists as "<1 2 3>" it also works UNLESS the list has exactly one element, in which case I get a type check error: Type check failed in binding to parameter 15:45
'@in'; expected Positional but got IntStr (IntStr.new(10, "10"))
Is there some way I've missed to handle this case?
stevied lists are created by commas
so you gotta do "1, " for a one element list 15:46
Guest3742 Hmm ... so no way to use angle quotes here? Ok. Thanks! 15:47
15:48 ab5tract joined
stevied can't see your function sig but I'm guessing you should be using slurpy args 15:48
Nemokosch actually, the parens don't wrap their content at all
(1) also wouldn't be a List
and even though [1] would be an Array, it would be an Array "for the wrong reason" and [[1]] would be the very same Array 15:49
what parens tend to do is a kind of conversion 15:50
Guest3742 I did see that [1] works where (1) doesn't. 15:51
Nemokosch that's because [] coerces its argument(!) into an Array 15:52
and for a non-Iterable, that coercion happens to involve wrapping
Guest3742 I'm working with a list of literal inputs, where it's convenient to write them with <> rather than futzing with all the commas and parens. So it feels weird to have to use different syntax for one element inputs. NBD.
Thanks again 15:53
15:53 Guest3742 left
Nemokosch actually, .words would do "the right thing" 15:53
stevied m: say <1>.list.WHAT; 15:54
Raku eval (List)
Nemokosch .list would also work I guess 15:55
I guess the rationale was more or less related to the other parens: what should happen if the argument doesn't look like an array at all?
stevied m: say <1>.WHAT;
Raku eval (IntStr)
Nemokosch if it's the comma that creates the list, one might as well say that it's the separating whitespace for the <> version 15:56
having said that, I don't know why <foo > (mind the space) can't create a one-element list, at least
having said that... for a, b, c -> @in { ...} looks like a very bad pattern to begin with 15:58

stevied what am I missing here: 17:06
m: class Circle { multi method new(:$diam) { say 'here' } multi method new(:$radius) { say 'blah' } } Circle.new( radius => 3 );
Raku eval here
stevied why is the first method etting called when I'm passing in "radius" named arg?
i gotta imagine it's the dreated *%_ extra argument slurpy rearing its head 17:07
ok, yeah, this works: 17:09
m:
m: class Circle { multi method new(:$diam, *% ()) { say 'here' } multi method new(:$radius, *% ()) { say 'blah' } } Circle.new( radius => 3 );
Raku eval blah

Nemokosch @stevied remember to make named arguments mandatory 17:37
m: class Circle { multi method new(:$diam!) { say 'here' } multi method new(:$radius!) { say 'blah' } } Circle.new( radius => 3 );
Raku eval blah

nHail Syntax: CStruct representation only handles attributes of type: (u)int8, (u)int16, (u)int32, (u)int64, (u)long, (u)longlong, num32, num64, (s)size_t, bool, Str and types with representation: CArray, CPointer, CStruct, CPPStruct and CUnion But the original c has mpv_event_id event_id;, and mpv_event_id is enum. 18:23
Nahita some integer type should do probably int32, enums are integrals. 19:14

p6steve you can use my @a = <1>; since the list assignment will coerce rhs to a list ... 21:38
Nemokosch yeah that's like [<1>] 21:39
p6steve ^^ that too 21:41
or '|<1>' maybe 21:44
