flussence for some reason the code it compiles there just emits nothing, trying to figure out why... 00:00
I'm at a complete loss; when I extract the C and the commands Configure.pl runs and do them manually it works fine 00:05
timotimo wow, crap. 00:06
how does it communicate that outwards? printf?
flussence it's a printf("%u\n" thingy 00:08
timotimo mhm
you said when you run it manually it works, eh? o_O
flussence this is failing in the middle of a gentoo ebuild, mind you
but still, this *used* to work
argh
I'm really struggling to figure out why it doesn't all of a sudden 00:09
00:11 vendethiel joined
timotimo it gets killed by a signal or something? 00:11
flussence nope, the program just... doesn't print anything 00:13
timotimo o_O
so some #define not working out?
flussence installs gdb 00:15
let's see if I can remember how to use this thing...
and it's only doing it on one machine /o\ 00:19
timotimo oh lord 00:20
flussence one out of three, that's fun. maybe I should just reboot it and see if that unscrews things... 00:24
timotimo i hope thta machine still comes up :S 00:25
sounds shaky
flussence still no good, gah 00:35
...doh
disabling distcc fixes it.
which doesn't make sense, cause I've got that on this other comp and it works fine there. 00:36
eh, whatever. nobody's going to hit it but weirdos like me :) 00:44
timotimo we could just try it 4 times before giving up 00:49
if we get the '' output, that is
flussence wait a sec... why doesn't it just `use Config`? 00:51
m: use Inline::Perl5; say Inline::Perl5.new.run('use Config; $Config{ptrsize}'); # that specifically 01:00

flussence aw nuts
but yeah, that oneliner is a biiiiiit simpler and more reliable than trying to reinvent the wheel :) 01:02

timotimo flussence: i just now thought about this: how do we do cross-compilation if we just use Perl5 to get that value? 09:46
10:18 leont joined
flussence cross-compilation is hardcoded in a separate sub to use 4 :) 12:24

brrt good * #moarvm 13:30
jnthn o/ brrt 13:31
brrt \o jnthn
long time little overlap in irc presence :-)
how are things
jnthn Not too bad 13:33
Energy levels and stuff slowly improving.
brrt thats good to hear :-) 13:34
jnthn Still not "recovered", though at least more motivated and back to enjoying working on stuff. Mostly $dayjob stuff of late. :-)
Though plugged us some leaks in MoarVM :) 13:35
And trying to untangle the Perl 6 versioning story... 13:36
brrt i saw that. it looks complex
as in, a difficult job to do 13:37
jnthn Yeah. 13:42
brrt it basically means getting the whole community on a single line
maybe even reducing commit bits for rakudo
although that may not be necessary
given that there is always revert 13:43
jnthn Well, you'll never get everyone to agree on these things, but so far I think I've just about managed to tread a course that hasn't caused a lot of strong disagreement.
I'd be surprised if we'd have to resort to anything like taking away commit bits. As you say, there's revert, but more than that I trust the folks who have them. :) 13:45
brrt i think your proposal is quite reasonable
hmmm... true
#perl6 is remarkably nonhierarchical
and pleasant, imho :-) 13:46
jnthn Yes. In fact, even the repos with really liberal commit bit policies have seen nearly no issues. 13:47

jnthn (That arose from that policy) 13:47
heh, that moment when you wonder why Visual Studio Code's autocomplete just busted randomly...then realize when you come back from grabbing a cuppa that you were doing the edits in Atom. 13:51
14:07 cognominal joined 14:14 zakharyas joined 14:15 vendethiel joined
brrt actually never uses autocomplete 14:29
jnthn rarely does either
I tried to write C# without it and then realized I didn't *know* the class libraries well, I just autocomplete my way to using them. :/ 14:30
Funny thing though. I did a couple of .Net certs once. Microsoft's naming schemes are consistent and predictable enough that I could just look at a name and be like "nah, they'd never call the method *that*" and pass the cert. :P 14:31
nwc10 that's an interesting failure mode for multiple choice tests 14:32
brrt that is an extremely common failure mode for multiple choice tests
that is basically how i got my bachelors degree
:-P
nwc10 "which of these is not an Elbonian word?" ... "congratulations, you scored >80% and we will award you a certificate in Elbonian" 14:33
ilmari can't remember a single multiple-choice test during his bachelor's studies 14:34
but that was a) in .no, and b) 10-15 years ago
every time I think about how long ago uni was I feel old 14:35
geekosaur (tell me about it... early 1980s) 14:39
jnthn Yeah. Thankfully, I don't need to worry about doing certs any more. :) 14:43
...or university :P 14:45
Though uni was at least fun :)
brrt it can be 14:51
