SmokeMachine Hi! why don't we have weak references as in Java's sense of weak reference of not disallowing the reference to be gced? 10:39
I have asked that before but I don't really remember the answer... but lizmat's tweet made m eask about that once again... 10:41
10:48 frost joined
SmokeMachine this one: twitter.com/liztormato/status/1536...9huyjEa6BA 10:49
that would be cool for, for example, having a set of currently used objects. If it's not being used anymore, the original ref goes out of scope, some time before it's GCed and then stop existing inside the Set. Without that all the objs inside the Set would exist for ever... 10:52
(By Set I do not mean the class Set, but some kind of WeakSet) 10:54
11:06 frost left
japhb SmokeMachine: You can get a similar effect with a factory (that stores the new object ID), objects with a DESTROY method (that removes the old object ID), and having the set contain object IDs instead of pointers. 11:10
11:13 frost joined
SmokeMachine japhb: but that's not quite the same, is it? if I get .keys, it won't that the objects, for example... 11:19
another usage could be having 2 objs having reference to each other, right? 11:21
11:25 frost left 11:36 frost joined 11:58 frost left, frost joined
japhb SmokeMachine: The reference loop problem is fixed by having a full GC (which can correctly account for unreachable loops and dispose of them), as opposed to reference counting which does indeed have that failure mode (and is why perl5 needs weak refs, for instance). 12:03
SmokeMachine japhb: yes... I just realised that... but that's not the case if I want to collect one of the objs even if the other still exist. 12:06
12:08 reportable6 left 12:11 reportable6 joined
japhb SmokeMachine: Hmmmm. What's your actual use case? I feel like we've wandered into XY question territory ... or perhaps I'm just not seeing the actual problem. 12:14
12:17 frost left 12:25 frost joined
nine same here 12:33
SmokeMachine A good usage example (in my mind) would be this: irclogs.raku.org/raku/2020-10-12.html#14:11 12:34
a cache for Red's objects 12:35
that would allow the objects to be GCed 12:36
nine SmokeMachine: you can still have the "per request" cache without weak refs. Your caching layer just needs to know the concept of a request or session or lifecycle or whatever you want to call it at that layer. And a bit of API so the user is able to tell the cache that this session is done and the cache can be flushed. 12:40
SmokeMachine nine: on that case it would, probably, use even more memory if there are several sessions in parallel, right? 12:42
and Red isn't always used where there is a "request" concept...
nine Even in Tau Station there are 2 different kinds of cache life cycle. So the request or session lifecycle one would be strictly optional 12:46
If an object can be in use by different sessions, you wouldn't need more memory with parallel sessions.

Geth DBIish/oracle-blob-read: 572fb66487 | (Vadim Belman)++ | 3 files
Implement reading of BLOBs

No writing yet.
A blob is returned as a `Supply` emitting `Buf` instances. I.e. for a row in hash format sending the actual BLOB data into a file would be:
   react whenever %row<BLOB_COL> {
   $file.write($_);
   }
