brrt i'll take a look at your siphash PR 07:38
do you have any background documentation for me to read?
samcv uhm 07:39
idk i have my blog post i guess. and the PR description
ask if you have any questions though

I'll do the fixups myself then

awesome work both of you
.tell lizmat I feel (and git could probably tell me) that i'm no longer the major contributor of expression templates, and that seems like something worth mentioning in this weeks weekly 08:44
yoleaux brrt: I'll pass your message to lizmat.

1 Jul 2018 15:51Z <lizmat> jnthn: is github.com/MoarVM/MoarVM/blob/mast...c.markdown still up to date, or could it use an update / refinement ?
jnthn .tell Xliff Thanks, it's fixed now :) 09:09
yoleaux jnthn: I'll pass your message to Xliff.
Geth MoarVM: 8a7da04a2f | (Jonathan Worthington)++ (committed using GitHub Web editor) | docs/gc.markdown

jnthn .tell lizmat It was overall up to date, though a bit off in a few places. I've updated it.

jnthn uff, I see that one too in quite a few spectests 10:03
At least now I know it's not the JIT of speshresolve that I've just locally merged causing it
10:05 zakharyas joined
brrt huh, that's not good 10:05
jnthn | mov TMP6, RV; 10:06
Is the line the debugger reports, which is odd
brrt yes....
jnthn JIT of MVM_OP_ctxcallerskipthunks that's wrong, btw
Well, that it explodes in
brrt yep
but i'm not seeing what 10:07
jnthn bizzare 10:08
Me either
| mov TMP6, FRAME:ARG2->static_info->body.is_thunk;
brrt oh, hang on
jnthn Can we actually do double derefs like this?
brrt that's two derefs
no
we cannot :-) 10:09
jnthn Bit off from the error line but matchings nwc10's ASAN reporting
*matching
Are you fixing or shall I? :)
brrt i'll be fixing 10:10
thanks :-)

[JIT] Define ARG5 and ARG6 on windows

Windows has only 4 arguments in general purpose registers (as opposed to POSIX which has 6). Any other arguments are passed on the stack. Define the names of ARG5 and ARG6 to be the appropriate stack locations, and make sure to introduce intermediates where necessary.

Merge branch 'jit-sp_speshresolve'
jnthn All the SEGVs look like the ctxskipthunks issue
So I guess that patch is innocent :)
brrt i'm all so a bit worried about the line above 10:12
jnthn Yes, there's two double-derefs in there 10:13
Though that's more than one line above :) 10:14
brrt :-)
let me see if i've introduced more

brrt that one should've fixed the ctxcallerskipthunks one
jnthn Thanks, spectesting :)
Want to get a clean baseline master so I know what I've broken in rescalar :) 10:18
brrt hmm, not entirely clean just yet, it seems 10:23

damnit
maybe ASAN knows better

Fix guard evaluator attribute handling

We need to reset the collected objects array each time we fail to meet a guard, otherwise it will have bogus entries for the next guard and so cause it to fail to be met.

Zoffix Is there a configure time option to set stack to be executable? 18:18
So you wouldn't need to run `sudo execstack -c nqp/MoarVM/libmoar.so` ?

samcv i'm not sure what's going on with this appveyor msvc error 19:04
ci.appveyor.com/project/samcv/moar...ve7odja28p
oh oops i was looking in the wrong file
Zoffix samcv: FWIW, the latest 2 rakduo commits also has appveyor failures in the version that tests with master moar. Something about deprecated "o" options and inability to find make 19:07
samcv nice msvc doesn't support LLU 19:11
though to be fair they have UI64, which is nice having a sized suffix. IMO we should have both standardized 19:21

dogbert2 jnthn: should I report the bug mentioned a couple of hours ago or do you already know what it is? 'MoarVM panic: Illegal Gen2 -> Nursery in caller chain (not in inter-gen set)' 19:44

MasterDuke for uses of the fixed size allocator functions, is anything other than tc->instance->fsa ever used? 21:22
samcv ok now i fixed my previous appveyor issue but there's some one that isn't my fault 22:01
jnthn MasterDuke: Not *currently*, though it's plausible we'd want to set up isolated ones in the future. 22:13
MasterDuke: I've sometimes been a tiny bit tempted to rip out that arg but...I can't see it actually making a difference. :)
MasterDuke jnthn: yeah, removing it doesn't seem like there's a major reward, but then again typing tc->instance->fsa over and over gets old... 22:37
jnthn Not old enough for the disruption and/or having to undo it later, I suspect. 22:38
samcv jnthn: well when we tear down the instance it only takes an instance 22:39
though. i guess that's only dealloc?
so i guess it could be removed hah
jnthn I think it just frees all the things there
samcv jnthn: i've been thinking we need to randomize our iteration order for the hashes 22:42
but i'm not sure how to do it. i was trying to read how perl 5 does it. but their hash code is very confusing
and also i think they have many more buckets than us. between num_items and num_items *2. whereas we have max 10 per bucket 22:43
but i guess we could start by randomizing the order we iterate buckets. 22:44
so perl 5 essentially will add things either to the first or the second slot in a bucket randomly. and it works well since things have 1 or 2 items in them generally. since we have more it makes it slightly less effective 22:45
jnthn Doesn't the random hash seed already give us random iteration order? 22:46
Or are you considering something more than "random between runs"?
sleep o/ 23:35
samcv jnthn: the thing is to give less information to attackers. and ordering is pretty juicy
