gfldex lizmat: I believe to know now why rotor was dropped as a sub. To support `<1 2 3 4> ==> rotor(2 => 1)` we would need Rakudo to support :(*@ [@list, \tail-element]). I got something that ain't pretty but works. PR will follow after some sleep. 00:04

Make skip message more correct
 12:20
ugexe Why is *must* emphasized? that isnt correct 12:22
Nowadays, one apparently *must* also specify "--exclude='perl'"
lizmat because without it, it won't install ?
Inline::Perl5 that is?
ugexe Certainly it installs for some people... it wasn't added just to annoy people
lizmat the line is intended to be copy-pasted, and the line as such didn't install Inline::Perl5, but complained about missing dependencies 12:23
so therefore, one *must* also specify --exclude='perl' ? 12:24
to be able to install?
or am I missing something?
ugexe it sounds like what you are saying is you expect yourit to behave that way for everybody 12:25
but thats not true. suggesting to use --exclude=perl is fine, i just dont want you to think its a requirement instead of just whatever finds the perl binary in zef not being sufficient for some people 12:26
( which fwiw is the code here -- github.com/ugexe/zef/blob/7d6b48db...#L170-L181 ) 12:27

This is perl 5, version 26, subversion 1 (v5.26.1) built for x86_64-linux-thread-multi

MasterDuke i believe it was needed for me also and i have a rather different setup from lizmat (archlinux, moarvm/nqp/rakudo checked out into three separate repos all build with a common --prefix)
ugexe i.e. a dependency on perl:from<bin> just uses that `which` function to see if it finds a 'perl'
lizmat I have a standard user layout: perl Configure.pl --gen-moar --make-install
is what I do to build Rakudo
can't get much more vanilla than that, no? 12:29
ugexe i dunno, i linked to a 10 line function which is pretty vanila too
lizmat m: run <which perl > 12:30
camelia /usr/bin/perl
lizmat I understand that won't work on Win, but still, for all other cases it would ? 12:31
ugexe shelling out to parse dependencies is a ba idea
technically it doesnt apply until the resolution stage but still 12:32
lizmat running that sub on my machine, I get: ["/usr/local/bin/perl".IO "/usr/bin/perl".IO] 12:33
could that be the issue? that it gets more than one ?
they're different versions: the local one is built by me some time ago (5.28) and the other is the system one (5.18) 12:34
MasterDuke i get just one entry
btw, 'which' is a source of debate, whether one should use 'type' or 'command -v' instead 12:36
ugexe hmmm that seems like it should work then... the caller is just github.com/ugexe/zef/blob/7d6b48db...umod#L1072
MasterDuke lwn.net/Articles/874049/ 12:37
lizmat ugexe: say so Zef::Utils::FileSystem::which('perl') # True
ugexe yeah i still dont see why its not working in some cases -- github.com/ugexe/zef/blob/7d6b48db...kumod#L401 12:51
that applies the 'is-installed' filter just a few lines down from the 'exclude' filter (which obviously works)
lizmat BTW, the \ at the end of the line, has not been needed for a long time? 12:54
ugexe that code is probably older than a long time 12:57
lizmat yeah :) 12:59

Geth rakudo: gfldex++ created pull request #4661:
implement sub rotor		 14:49
ugexe ah, it looks like perl:from<bin> was recently removed from Inline::Perl5 which is probably what your error was referencing 15:34
I get `===> Failed to find dependencies: perl:from<native>` but i don't have libperl installed 15:36
MasterDuke s/bin/native/
ugexe oops
MasterDuke but yeah, guess that was the root cause

Revert behaviour of Kernel.cpu-cores

It will now always call nqp::cpucores for those cases where the number of CPU's can actually change.
The internal method Kernel.cpu-cores-but-one is now lazy, and will only call nqp::cpucores once in the lifetime of a process.		 16:18

16:33 qorg11 joined
MasterDuke ^^^ i like the second version because it keeps the `%h` inside the scope of the `for`, but both `state` and `LAST` are going to have negative performance implications 16:34
anybody have any other criticisms of the state+LAST version? 16:35
lizmat m: dd "foo".comb.Set
camelia Set.new("o","f")
japhb m: say "foo".comb.unique
camelia (f o)
MasterDuke ok, ignore the actual logic in the example, the real case is a bit more involved 16:36
japhb I had a feeling, but I couldn't resist when you asked if we had criticisms. ;-)
But in all seriousness, I'm not sure I can give proper feedback without knowing a bit more about the actual use case.
MasterDuke heh
exactly this github.com/rakudo/rakudo/pull/4650...7L233-L251 is what inspired the musing 16:37
japhb Just for code as written: Is the state version concurrency-safe? Meaning, if the whole loop was in a routine, and you called that routine concurrently, would it still work correctly? 16:39
lizmat state is not concurrency safe afaik
gfldex lizmat: the only case it can't cover is `rotor(2 => -1, 3 => 2, 1, 2, 3, 4)` because the to be rotated list might contain Pairs. It needs the list as an item as the last positional. 16:58
lizmat well, and that's the reason I think in the end I didn't do a sub rotor 16:59
MasterDuke tux.nl/Talks/CSV6/speed4.html anyone else notice how the timing went back up a bit right around nov 15? 17:04
lizmat I noticed an upward trend :) 17:10
gfldex m: (^10).hyper(:1batch).map({ ++$ }).say;
camelia (1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1)
gfldex japhb: state vars exist once per call stack. So it depends on what you do with them. 17:11
MasterDuke github.com/rakudo/rakudo/commit/95...e46ce694cf perhaps is the reason for the slowdown? 17:19
huh, that just pull in github.com/MoarVM/MoarVM/pull/1601 which is a pretty small change... 17:22
afk for a bit, but anybody have comments/suggestions for github.com/rakudo/rakudo/pull/4650 and github.com/rakudo/rakudo/pull/4651 ? 17:27

[Tux] MasterDuke, 16 Nov I updated my OS from openSUSE 15.2 to openSUSE 15.3. Could that be a cause? 20:30
lizmat interesting... 20:32

 20:43
japhb [Tux]: Did openSUSE 15.3 enable any new security features or default compiler options? I can easily imagine that level of performance difference from some C-level compiler change or kernel option or whatnot. 21:01
