[17:41] *** guifa_ joined [17:57] voldenet timo: thanks. I suppose for now (since it would be a rare exception) I can just throw an MVM_exception and then down the road try to provide better error handling [17:58] Unfortunately I realized I can't catch it in Raku land. hostname resolution is done at the MoarVM level and it's only after that where I can potentially detect conflicting parameters [17:58] i'm not sure what that means [17:59] so the error that I'm looking to catch/handle is when the IPv6 interface passed in mismatches the resolved IPv6 address's interface [18:00] so hypothetically, 'raku.org' might resolve to ab:cd::ef%42 (it's valid in a hosts file). But if a user specifies that hostname of 'raku.org' and an interface of '420', which interface should be used? 42 or 420? [18:02] presumably, the name raku.org with the ip %42 wouldn't necessarily be valid for %420 at all, so it must not use that entry? [18:04] but you were going to explain how you're doing it, right? [18:05] timo: very potentially. for now, per patrickb, our best bet is to just error if we catch an inconsistency [18:07] I figured it'd be a helpful if we could provide in Raku a helpful error message though, rather than just dying on a VM error. (I highly, highly doubt this situation will come up in real world usage) [18:10] well, the message can still be helpful [18:12] the user would just have to string-parse the details out in user code if they really need the individual bits [18:13] Yeah, hence me wondering the best way to pass it up. But for now since it's not critical functionality and because I want to finish the project and add in the Raku-level code, I think I'll just throw an MVM exception [18:13] yeah [18:22] *** librasteve_ left [18:53] *** disbot4 left [18:54] *** disbot1 joined [18:58] *** guifa_ left [20:22] *** guifa_ joined [20:46] *** guifa_ left [21:18] *** MasterDuke joined [21:20] Voldenet: huh, never knew about MVM_exception_throwobj [21:21] *** guifa_ joined [22:08] *** MasterDuke left [22:14] *** guifa_ left [22:48] *** guifa_ joined [22:52] *** guifa_ left
