nine I'd say just load CORE.c setting. After all what's the cost? We are slightly inefficient when throwing an error and exiting. 09:05

RakuAST: another step closer to making "no strict" work

This generates the correct QAST for auto-declared variables. But to prevent the QAST to generate this for every occurrence of an auto- declared variable, it needs to mark it as declared.
The resolver has a "declare-lexical" method to do just that. But only if the resolver is not in "batch" mode. And so far it always seems to be. Even if the declaration is happening on a CHECK-BEGIN method. So I'm unclear on how to proceed, and am hoping nine will be able to produce some clarity.

Remove worries
12:37
nine lizmat: to be properly handled RakuAST::Var::Lexical::Auto should be a RakuAST::Declaration. But that still wouldn't be right for every access but the first. So why not generate a RakuAST::VarDeclaration::Simple for the first access and a plain RakuAST::Var::Lexical for subsequent accesses? 13:15
lizmat but how to determine what the first access is ? 13:16
in a given scope ?

nine lizmat: that's declare-lexical and find-lexical again 13:22
lizmat but they need a resolver?
Ah, you mean in the action do a resolver action?
nine: BTW,is there a difference between $*R.foo and self.r.foo ? 13:24
ah, yes, duh, sorry for the noise 13:25
nine Yes, this needs to be done in Actions.

RakuAST: make "no strict" work in the Raku grammar

  - Remove class RakuAST::Var::Lexical::Auto
  - Add class RakuAST::VarDeclaration::Auto
   This is for all intents and purposes, the same as the
   RakuAST::VarDeclaration::Simple class, but it deparses and rakufies
   as a RakuAST::Var::Lexical.

Revert "Remove worries"

This reverts commit aa7f34bc591b67f801ea67193158ab2a53aeea08.
For some unclear reason, this now fails **ONLY** when doing "make spectest" with RAKUDO_RAKUAST=1. Not bothering to spend any further time on this so reverting.
14:43
lizmat nine: the "no strict" test file now fails only because of missing suggestions for X::Undeclared error 14:44
I assume these suggestions would need to be generated by the resolver, right ?
nine I thought that logic was contained in the exception classes? 14:53
lizmat nope, in the case of X::Undeclared, it's a simple attribute to be given 14:56

RakuAST: add deparsing/test for RakuAST::Var::Lexical::Setting
20:38
japhb Was there some point at which current versions of zef or prove6 stopped working on older Rakudo releases? I went to update one of my modules yesterday and found that it was failing CI tests but only on older Rakudo (such as 2022.02); latest works just fine. 20:47
Example of failing run: github.com/japhb/Text-MiscUtils/ac...7963447581
I went to build a local 2022.02 (and install my usual modules) to see if I could recreate the problem locally, and started to get weird errors in modules that never had problems installing. 20:48
lizmat ugexe or nine might know 20:49
japhb lizmat: Fair enough. 20:50

20:53
rakudo/rakuast-v5: 5932db2385 | (Will Coleda)++ | src/Raku/Grammar.nqp
remove debug
20:56
[Coke] vrurg: I've tried to load v6.c in that latest version, still failing with trying to invoke something on an NQPMu, still investigating. 20:57
vrurg [Coke]: could be something resolver-specific. Unfortunately, I can only dream of doing something for RakuAST currently. Therefore lacking knowledge in the area. :( 20:59
lizmat [Coke]: "lang_setup2" is that correct ?
vrurg lizmat: for now – it is. Hope it changes later. 21:01
lizmat ack
vrurg For the moment the primary goal is to draft something that works. Then make it do it the right way. :)
[Coke] lizmat: yes, I needed to call it explicitly because the copy from Grammar was triggering it so it could grab the value of <version> to do some logic on it 21:06
lizmat oki, it just looked strange looking at the diff 21:07
[Coke] so I moved it out of the way, call it explicitly. Ah, vrurg, at some point 'use v6' started failing too.
Would help if I had any idea what I was doing.
Figured this would be an easy change, not so far. :)
so, lizmat, my "move it out of the way" probably broke it. 21:09
vrurg I haven't noticed it at first, but how do you expect Raku::Actions::lang_setup2($/) to work? It's a method.
[Coke] vrurg: good catch 21:10
vrurg [Coke]: I'd say you need a method to which you'd be delegating from RakuAST::Actions.lang_setup.
[Coke] AHAHAHAHA 21:11
that was the remaining bug, thank you. :_)
er, :)
vrurg This is for now, to debug. But later the logic of throwign the exception should get its own method where it'd load the CORE, pull in the exception class, etc.
[Coke] ok, now -e 'use v6' and -e 'use v5' both do something reasonable.

RakuAST: add test for RakuAST::Trait::Hides
21:18
[Coke] vrurg: the v5 exception in the standard grammar isn't pulled out (but it's doing less work) 21:38
vrurg [Coke]: sorry, don't get what you mean. 21:39
Ah, got it !
I'm used to call it 'legacy grammar' now. :) 21:40
Looking at the test, I think it works because `throws-like` is using its outer context to resolve symbols.
RakuAST might do EVAL differently. But I wouldn't rely on the legacy behavior here because if we ever get to the point of multi-threaded compiler the exception might start being more useful even if thrown for a bare, non-eval, compunit. 21:42
[Coke]: BTW, speaking of less work, it relies upon World.typed_exception method. This is where all the resolution magic happens for the legacy parser. 21:44
