stevied if I have a grammar that's been used to parse some text and then I save the Match object it returns, is there a way to run actions on the Match object later? 04:46
moritz nothing built-in, I think. You could always write your own code that recurses into the match object and calls methods corresponding to named captures though 05:13
stevied yeah, thought of that. was hoping to save myself some trouble. ok, thanks. 05:14

zacts thanks
I'll check it out (I was just curious)
05:40 evalable6 joined
Voldenet stevied#8273: not sure if that's the correct way, but you can try this ix.io/3Ufx 05:58
it assumes that whatever's captured is immutable for actions use 06:01

I would love to attempt some graphviz bindings for Raku, particularly for directed graph generation. However I've looked at the header files for the projects, and have no idea where to start. 09:37
Is anyone out there familiar with Graphviz who wouldn't mind at least giving me some starter tips? 09:38
moritz I think you can generate text files and pipe that to the binaries, no need for a C-level integration
Xliff I'm looking here for a start: github.com/kvdz/vala-libgvc/blob/m...ibgvc.vapi 09:39
However I'm not at all THAT familiar with Vala.
moritz: Yeah, I thought about that. My experience is with NativeCall. If I were more familiar with GraphViz as a whole, I'd do it that way.
However, I am not. So I'd thought I'd approach this like I have my other projects. Rat her than learn GraphViz, I'd like to build a Raku-ish API and learn that. 09:41
moritz not being very familiar with graphviz won't help with the C bindings
Xliff Yes, but I wouldn't have to learn GraphViz's particular syntax to use it.
I'd rather work with classes and data than syntax.
Even if it takes longer. 09:42
moritz well, I've given my advice, which you have asked for. Cannot do more.
Xliff And I thank you for what was offered.

Xliff Is CStruct mature enough to handle bitfields? 09:45
Ala something like " unsigned objtype:2;" ?
09:48 p6steve_ left 09:49 p6steve left
Voldenet no 10:04
while that wasn't the aim of nativecall, in a lot of cases it's easier to use tiny wrappers because of all edge cases 10:07
moon-child if you don't want to be too portable, can do the bitfield layout yourself 10:18

Voldenet that's some weird limitation
lizmat Voldenet: the problem is that named arguments do not have an order, and with some units, the order of application is important 10:36

Juerd lizmat: Thanks for the warm welcome in the weekly :). I'm not sure one could say I'm "back", though, as I have very few spoons to spare and am still using Raku only sometimes for quick and dirty scripts. 16:09
I find myself using Perl most of the time because I'm most proficient in that, but some problems are much easier to solve when you have types, multisubs, and some included batteries, and that's when I pick Raku instead. 16:10
lizmat Juerd++ nonetheless :-)
Juerd Especially when I need datetimes, I'll pick Raku for my quick one-off scripts :)

(Wanting List[*DateTime] is really what I ran into just before writing that reddit post, but I tend to use Int in examples because that happens more often :))
(And it happened to coincide with someone displaying a similar issue on IRC, which reminded me that I'm not the only one who has these issues) 16:12
lizmat you're not alone, indeed :-) 16:14

leont I do rather recognize the problem with typed arrays not being smooth. In some situations they DWIM and in some don't, and it's not intuitive at all when that happens 17:40
And it greatly annoys me, because I prefer my modules to be rather typed
Altreus I find Raku vacillates between DWIM and DWTF quite a lot 17:43

Juerd leont: Feel free to chime in in the reddit discussion 19:51
I'm kinda ignoring most replies because they go into theoretical "the way things should be" discussions that I'm not that interested in as it is a purely practical issue we run into that might just not fit into a rigid system. 19:52
leont I need to assemble my thoughts first. But the coercion type suggestion sounded sensible to me 19:54
Juerd I didn't understand that one :) 19:55
19:55 abraxxa left
Juerd And I wonder if "coercion" would mean lossiness, as in sub foo(Int() $x) { ... }; foo(4.5); 19:56
Because that's what I would really *not* want.
leont Basically, it means that an Array[Mu] is taken as input and converted into an Array[Int]
lizmat m: my Int() @a = "42","666",45.3; dd @a # don't we have that already ? 20:05
camelia Array[Int(Any) @a = Array[Int(Any)].new(42, 666, 45)
leont m: sub foo(Int() @foo) { }; foo([1, 2]) 20:08
camelia Type check failed in binding to parameter '@foo'; expected Positional[Int(Any)] but got Array ([1, 2])
in sub foo at <tmp> line 1
in block <unit> at <tmp> line 1
leont Adding an is copy doesn't fix that either 20:09
lizmat m: m: sub foo(Int() @foo) { }; foo(Array[Int()].new(1, 2)) 20:13
camelia ( no output )
lizmat in the signature you're asking for an array with an Int() constraint
[1,2] is not that
leont I know that, but I want it to convert that Array to an Array[Int] 20:14
lizmat ok... as long as that is clear :-)
I have no solution

moon-child (for builtin operators, it's somewhat more convoluted, probably for bootstrapping reasons. I assume you want to know about defining your own) 21:26
drakonis indeed
i also wanted to look into how the builtin operators do it
~for science~
