Geth rakudo/main: 8be7bfe2a5 | (Elizabeth Mattijsen)++ | src/Raku/ast/operator-properties.rakumod
RakuAST: allow "chain" as well as "chaining"

To indicate a chaining infix operator
11:45
rakudo/main: 7f6f2512a1 | (Elizabeth Mattijsen)++ | src/core.c/Routine.pm6
Fix setting operator properties on some operators

Specifically «>» and «<» and friends

14:03
rakudo/main: 81446212ed | (Elizabeth Mattijsen)++ | src/Raku/ast/operator-properties.rakumod
RakuAST: another case of allowing 'chaining'

Also shortcut repetitive attribute accesses for size/speed

RakuAST: remove dependency on %prec for infix operators

  - operator properties of RakuAST::Infix is updated at resolve time
  - so we don't actually need to tell it when creating RakuAST::Infix
ugexe in perl 5.38 you can use //= in subroutine signatures, something you can't do in raku 14:18
lizmat yeah, that's definitely something I would like to see :-) 14:19
m: sub a($a //= 42) { dd }; a
camelia ===SORRY!=== Error while compiling <tmp>
Malformed parameter
at <tmp>:1
------> sub a($a⏏ //= 42) { dd }; a
expecting any of:
constraint
lizmat should be safe to add looks like
vrurg What's the difference with using a default value? 14:23
nemokosch I suppose that you can still pass in the value and have it ignored
if it's undefined
vrurg OK, makes sense. 14:24
lizmat it would require changes to the binder though... brrrr
vrurg This was my first thought. :) 14:25
patrickb jdv: Release builds are done. 14:26
vrurg Thinking of the legacy parser, it wouldn't be that hard, perhaps, to add to the binder itself. But what I'm afraid of is changing the binder in BOOTSTRAP. 14:28

ugexe (also ||= 0) 15:47
er ||=
gfldex m: sub foo(Any:D $a = 42) { } # this is a clear statment. This sub can not deal with undefined values. 17:40
camelia ( no output )
gfldex I'm not sure I like //= in Signatures and I do like a fancy syntax or two. It may shift the burden of using undefined values to the wrong person. 17:41
But then, the API person can choose to hide //= inside the subs body, so the API user person can't see that. 17:42

ugexe irclogs.raku.org/perl6/2016-09-08.html#18:15 and irclogs.raku.org/perl6-dev/2017-07...15:33-0005 seem relevant 18:13
nemokosch I found myself wanting to be able to pass in a placeholder, iirc eventually the function handled it internally 18:35
The situation was a bit worse because a :@variable doesn't have good ways to indicate optionalness 18:36

[Coke] nine: any suggestions on github.com/krunen/term-termios/issues/20 appreciated. Distribution::Builder::MakeFromJSON is invoking make and failing bug I can't see why 20:56
*but
opened a linked issue in DBMFJ 21:02
ugexe you should probably post the output of `zef build . --debug` to that issue too 21:20
well i guess its probably the same for the various updates they made
ugexe tries 21:23
[Coke] ugexe: it's in there. 21:48
ugexe raku -e '$*IN.close; say so shell("ls", :!err, :!out)' 22:14
that shows false on macOS
if you remove the $*IN.close it shows true
it shows true on linux regardless of $*IN.close 22:15
github.com/rakudo/rakudo/issues/5357 22:19
appears to have been this way since at least 2021 22:22
i don't think i can builder anything older 22:23
build
