moritz_ and the server are back ;) 16:38
masak moritz_ and server: welcome back :)
viklund++ has the first workaround to #58392!
moritz_ how so?
masak he's using eval and sufficiently dark tricks 16:39
viklund the sub is a string
moritz_ uhm
that's *evil*
viklund the second argument is the sub - as a string
masak performance will go to hell, but it will be correct :) 16:40
tonight's award-winning comment from viklund re his hack: "It's a bit tricky to read what you've written..." 18:00
viklund huzzah! It works! ;) 18:01
masak viklund: you're insane. :) viklund++ 18:02
viklund hmm, now it doesn't 18:14
it lives again! 18:18
moritz_ masak: have you seen chromatic's reply to #58392 18:37
masak no, will check immediately 18:38
moritz_ If you or Carl can provide a PIR program which exhibits he problem, I'll fix
it.
masak moritz_: ok, that's good news 18:39
I've been looking at the generated PIR
but haven't seen a problem in it by eye
but chromatic is asking for a standalone PIR program that exhibits the problem, yes? 18:40
moritz_ probably :(
masak how does one go about creating such a program?
moritz_ dunno, my PIR is too bad
masak is it enough to compile a piece of Perl 6 code down to PIR
?
moritz_ that doesn't run without modification yet 18:41
masak compile+modify+send to chromatic, then?
moritz_ you can try, at least
masak tries 18:42
I _really_ want #58392 to go away
moritz_ he'll complain if he wants a non-perl6.pbc-dependant thing
masak ah, that's the issue, of course
possibly.
masak and viklund are positive about generating pure PIR right now 19:15
adventures in PIR land! yay!
moritz_ always appends ; when writing PIR, and parrot complains noisily 19:16
masak haha :)
moritz_ at least the error message is quite good
masak moritz_: we've narrowed it down to this: paste2.org/p/69578 19:27
there are still quite a bit of Rakudo deps in there
I think we'll send it to chromatic like this, and then he can complain if he wants 19:28
time to call it a night& 19:36
moritz_ good night then ;)
masak likewise :) 19:37
