pmichaud tene: no, we don't need to change compreg. 00:05
Tene nods.
Tewk is coming over shortly to hack on Cardinal. 00:07
pmichaud no problem, I'll work on pge a bit more later
I think we can have it running tonight, based on progress so far.
the hard part is just getting things to compile in the first place.

Tene pmichaud: are you also seeing a hang in t/compilers/pge/pge_globs.t ? 02:51
pmichaud yes.
Tene Right, that's why you were tracing, I suspect. 02:52
pmichaud no, I was working on PGE::Hs
Tene Ah, okay.
pmichaud I'm working on PGE::Glob now, having given up on PGE::Hs
but it's *really* annoying that turning on tracing changes the results like that.
Tene Rather.
pmichaud the hangup in PGE::Glob is that something is calling new_class with an empty string name 02:54
that's resulting in calling "newclass" opcode with the parrot root namespace as its argument
and Parrot locks up there.
or, potentially, the tracing locks up there. 02:56
Tene Curious. 02:57
purl hands Tene a dead cat
Tene :( 02:59

pmichaud I'm getting a weird error in p6object 03:08
I'll go ahead and commit the change (it causes PGE to not build) and maybe you can find it from there.
Tene pge_globs_28.pir ends up calling into PGE::Exp 03:10
on PGE/Exp.pir:97 new_class is called with an empty argument
pmichaud right
that's what I'm working on now. 03:11

pmichaud get_string() not implemented in class 'ResizableStringArray' 03:14
current instr.: 'parrot;P6metaclass;new_class' pc 715 (runtime/parrot/library/P6object.pir:431)
afaict new_class is being called with PGE::Perl6Grammar
oh, hrm. 03:15
I wonder what happens if we call new_class with the name of an existing class?
I bet that's it. 03:16
yes, that's it. 03:17
now I just need a good way to be able to see if a class has already been created or not. :-)
Tene get_class? 03:18
purl it has been said that get_class is looking up a class. it's more like implmenting a 'find_class'
pmichaud but we can't do get_class on a string.
(that contains ::)
Tene but P6object.pir:431 you're calling newclass on an RSA, not a string 03:19
pmichaud no
look at the debug trace -- newclass is being given a NameSpace
Tene oh, right.
pmichaud this fixes it for now.

Tene What about bare PAST::Whatever with no quotes?

pmichaud the real test for pct is nqp.
Tene nqp should use P6object, or no? 03:39
pmichaud yes, it should. it's not? 03:40
Tene src/Grammar/Actions.pir
line 5
pmichaud convert it to P6object if you can -- shouldn't be difficult.
purl I don't know how to convert it to P6object if you can -- shouldn't be difficult..
Tene Should be, I was just surprised to see that it wasn't already. 03:41
pmichaud I probably missed it when I created p6object
since nqp pre-dates that.

pmichaud correct
if you have a namespace, you can just do namespace[key]

hi, btw :-)
pmichaud that's part of it, but there are also some new options being added
such as :lookahead
kj ah yes, istr some discussion about that recently

particle pmichaud: i'm working on the ? twigil 14:28
the first var i'm trying to implement is $?OS, which can be baked in
pmichaud particle: ok 14:29
particle so, in perl6.pir, i'm adding it to 'init'
pmichaud no.
globals.pir, probably.
particle ah, wasn't aware of that
kj pmichaud: what's the status for PCT's support of other control constructs than 'return', for instance, 'break', 'continue', 'goto'? 14:30
pmichaud ...but $?OS really isn't a global variable.
moritz particle: there's a patch for $*OS iin the RT, iirc
particle right.
pmichaud kj: we have some support for 'for' loops, but I'm looking at a refactor now.
most $? support needs to be done in actions.pm, I suspect.
particle pmichaud: basically, it's a read-only lexical, correct?
pmichaud particle: no, it's a compile-time variable.
the best way to think of things is with something like $?LINE 14:31
particle i just don't know how to implement it--i'm at a loss
kj sorry, wasn't talking about control structures, more on special program-flow things (that use exceptions underneath). So for instance, is it possible to implement 'break' or 'continue' ?
particle yes, right, i started with $?OS because it's much easier than $?LINE
pmichaud if we assume that $?OS will only be used in string context, then any instance of $?OS that is found in the source should be replaced with a PAST::Val node that is the stringification of $*OS 14:32
particle ah 14:33
pmichaud kj: I tend to think of 'break' and 'continue' only in terms of loops.
rephrasing what I said above -- we have some support in PCT for 'continue' loops inside of 'for' loops, but I'm looking at refactoring that. 14:35
s/'continue' loops/'continue' statements/

pmichaud okay. I just wanted to make sure someone was still looking at it. :-)
I'll dig a bit further, also.
I'm curious if these should be returning the same type as VTABLE_type(INTERP, SELF), though. 15:18
there might be an argument to be made that it should always return 'Complex'
NotFound allison: I'm testing a way to get rid of string_cstring_free by using a pmc that takes care of free the C string when garbage collected. Will be an acceptable design? 15:19
jhorwitz NotFound: what if an embedded program wants to hold onto the string? i guess we should document that it's the embedder's responsibility to make a copy if it wants the string to persist past a GC run... 15:26
NotFound jhorwitz: in that case, they just not use this pmc 15:27
jhorwitz so this is a purely lazy PMC? i like. :)
NotFound The idea is that instead of a direct call of string_to_cstring you create the PMC from the string and use get_pointer on it. 15:28
O course, it must be clearly documented that the life expectation of the c string is the same of that of the pmc. 15:29
s/O/Of
jhorwitz ok, so you'd create the PMC from an existing parrot string. 15:30
NotFound Clearly means 'not writen in my peculiar english' X-)
jhorwitz :)
NotFound jhorwitz: yes, by using pmc_new followed by set_string_native, or with a helper function that does the same. 15:31
pmichaud allison: it looks to me as though the RE(SELF), RE(value), IM(SELF), IM(value), etc. macros don't work when SELF or value are subclasses of Complex
NotFound pmichaud: I looked at that point, and after revising the docs I think is right, they must not be written that way. 15:33
SELF_ATTR and GET_ATTR takes care of refering to the pir child when appropriate, and RE and IM as they are now used directly the attribute struct 15:36
pmichaud I'll try redefining RE and IM, then. 15:39
oh, that's not quite so easy. :( 15:40
NotFound pmichaud: yes, I keep these macros when converting the pmc to ATTR beacuse other way will be very verbose, or requires the help of more macro wizardry that I'm able to spell. 15:43
But no problem, I can rewrite it the verbose way. 15:44
pmichaud I wonder why this "worked" prior to the mmd merge, though.
allison pmichaud: yes, that makes sense, those macros wouldn't work on subclasses 15:45
NotFound pmichaud: maybe they were just not enough tested between the pmc refactoring and the merge 15:46
pmichaud NotFound: except that Rakudo was using them heavily. 15:47
allison pmichaud: previously they snuck through by being invoked on a proxy Complex object stored within the subclass of Complex 15:48

Zaba_ Is defining a subroutine that takes an anonymous subroutine with syntax 'name { subroutine }' (a la perl5) possible with perl6? 16:54
PerlJam Zaba_: anything is possible with perl 6 :-)
moritz Zaba_: 'name { subroutine }' doesn't make sense to me in Perl 5 16:55
PerlJam moritz: { ... } is interpreted as a sub if it's the first arg.
moritz Zaba_: in Perl 6 you'd write sub takes_a_sub(&my_sub) { ... my_sub() }
PerlJam so you can make you're own grep-a-like or map-a-like
moritz PerlJam: only with & prototype
Zaba_ well yes 16:56
PerlJam moritz: right, that's what I think he's getting at
moritz ah
Zaba_ but I meant that 'name { sub }' is the syntax of calling the sub
not defining :)
moritz ah, if you write 'name { block }' it starts to make sense in Perl 6
Zaba_ Okay. 16:57
But well it is possible.
PerlJam Zaba_: btw, how do you think for and if work in perl 6?

pmichaud Tene: I'm thinking we might want a "get_protoobject" method for P6metaclass 17:07
it could take a string, class, etc. and return the appropriate protoobject
analogous to what we do now for get_parrotclass
Tene Certainly might be useful. 17:08
pmichaud ultimately I'm wanting to be able to write the main routines for compilers in NQP
particle yay
Tene That's a very nice goal.
pmichaud and there it seems to make more sense to have self.'parsegrammar'(Language::Grammar) than self.'parsegrammar'('Language::Grammar')
but if that's the case, then the argument is a protoobject and not a string. 17:09
Tene Can we go from a proto-object to a namespace?
Zaba_ is so far from understanding the architecture of parrot.. Or actaully any bytecode interpreter/compiler. 17:10
pmichaud ...do we need a namespace?
(short answer: yes, we can make that happen.)
Tene pmichaud: to get TOP from
pmichaud I would think we'd use find_method for that
Tene Oh.
pmichaud TOP is a method, not a sub.
Tene Clever.
pmichaud that's also better for inheritance. :-) 17:11

pmichaud I'd expect the parsegrammar attribute to either be a protoobject or a string (if a string, then we use the string to look up the protoobject)

particle i suspect actions.pm will be >10k after we get serious about implementing STD
pmichaud I don't think it'll change all that much. 17:28
PerlJam particle: depends on how much things like LTM simplify the code you *need* to write.
particle there's a lot in STD we haven't implemented yet
and many, many corner cases
pmichaud anyway, the way to break actions.pm up into smaller files will be to use 'cat' 17:29
TimToady the new viv program produces an AST (of sorts) just using an autoloader, though of course there's no PIR there
pmichaud TimToady: so, given the progress you're making on STD.pm and viv and all of these other things, should we be abandoning what we're doing now?
particle well, we can add AST (of sorts) compiler to HLLCompiler that emits PAST 17:30
pmichaud I have to say that I'm a little disheartened about the way things are progressing.
particle what's disheartening? rakudo isn't well factored? we can't keep up with STD changes? 17:34
pmichaud if viv is producing ASTs, then there seems to be much less need for PAST 17:35
TimToady I imagine there's still a fairly large impedance mismatch there 17:36
pmichaud I agree, which makes me wonder if putting a lot of effort into PAST isn't all that valuable.
particle i imagine viv will be limited by its choice of implementation language
TimToady well, at the moment it's in p5, but eventually when we're bootstrapped presumably p6 is easy 17:37
PerlJam pm: so you think it'll be less work to just hack viv into shape as compared with what you're doing?
pmichaud pj: that's not exactly it, no
pj: I'm just thinking that Perl 6 is going to pass Parrot and PAST by
moritz pmichaud: probably depends on whether perl 6 is your only target
dalek r31761 | Whiteknight++ | trunk: 17:38
: [Charset] Write function-level documentation for src/charset/iso-8859-1.c, at least the functions that I understand.
diff: www.parrotvm.org/svn/parrot/revision?rev=31761
pmichaud in particular, the "when we're bootstrapped" part seems to imply that Parrot really isn't a part of that bootstrapping. 17:39
TimToady I seriously doubt whether Perl 6 hosted on top of Perl 5 will every be fast
*ever
and it will be just as interoperable with other languages as Perl 5 :/
pmichaud so, is viv producing an AST that is really meant only for p5? 17:40
TimToady no, it's basically just a parse tree with the grotty bits omitted and the nodes blessed into appropriate classes
so you could walk in OO-wise easily 17:41
pmichaud that sounds a lot like PAST
TimToady much like gimme5 does in a chewing gum and bailing wire fashion
pmichaud although perhaps PAST is a bit more abstract than that
TimToady hence my "impedance mismatch" comment
it's enough AST to rewrite gimme5, in other words, but not much more abstract than that 17:42
pmichaud I just have difficulty seeing where rakudo fits in to all of this
i.e., we're spending a ton of time on actions.pm to be able to go from a parse tree to an abstract syntax tree (i.e., the compiler), but there's a different one being created. 17:43
PerlJam pm: no one else has implemented that part for any of the other languages that target parrot. 17:44
pmichaud pj: I don't understand.
PerlJam perhaps I'm wrong in thinking that what TimToady is working on is very perl6-centric and not too applicable to the other languages. 17:45
pmichaud PerlJam: assuming that viv is very perl6-centric, fine. But my goal for all of this was to build Perl 6 (and incidentally tools for other languages), not to build tools for languages other than Perl 6. 17:46
i.e., if PAST and PCT are used for pynie, cardinal, etc.... that's great, but that's not really why I'm in this. 17:47
PerlJam pm: so you're not happy with *an* implementation of Perl 6 because it's not "the standard" implementation of Perl 6?
pmichaud PerlJam: I don't want to constantly be playing catch-up with a different implementation that is considered "standard" 17:48
PerlJam gotcha
17:48 kj joined, PacoLinux joined
moritz pmichaud: I don't think that actions.pm will become all useless when STD.pm starts to emit an AST, because it does much stuff stuff that any AST processing backend must do, like emitting code for class creation etc. 17:48
pmichaud moritz: I don't disagree with that. But if there's another ast that is going to become a standard, I'd rather write to that standard than write a throwaway duplicate. 17:49
particle can't think of another language with a standard ast across all implementations 17:51
s/another/a/
TimToady VAST is still quite P6-centric
pmichaud particle: yes, but in this case we're specifically talking about "bootstrapping" the perl 6 compiler.
i.e., a perl 6 compiler written in Perl 6.
anything that doesn't use that same model is always likely to be "out of spec" 17:52
moritz I don't see why anything but the grammar needs to be in Perl 6
from a spec point of view
pmichaud moritz: I think that dynamic languages aren't quite so clear-cut into "grammar", "parse", "compile", "emit" phases. 17:53
there's generally some interplay between the phases and components, and that implies interfaces. 17:54
again, I'm just having difficulty seeing where all of this is headed
and I'd prefer (1) not to be an obstacle, and (2) not to write a bunch more code that becomes obsolete.
moritz right, and these interfaces are not-yet-specced because no two implementations ever got that far 17:55

pmichaud pj: those questions don't feel right, but I'll give my best shots 17:58
first, if rakudo were the standard implementation, I'd be doing the same things I'm focusing on now -- namely trying to get more pieces of the spec in place so that we can get less PIR code and more Perl 6 code
if there were a tool to convert VAST to PAST, then I'd say the compiler is "finished". 17:59

PerlJam pm: So, if there is another "more standard" implementation of Perl 6 than rakudo, what would you like to work on? 18:05
pmichaud pj: I don't know. Probably getting that other implementation to work on Parrot.
moritz if I were pmichaud, my consequence would be to work on LTM, because that's what a STD.pm backend will need anyway - but that's planned anyway, right? 18:07
pmichaud moritz: unless LTM and the rules engine ends up being written in (a) Perl 6
in which case my version of LTM would probably be superfluous.
TimToady so write it in Perl 6 18:08
:)
pmichaud well, I'm thinking of doing just that, but I'm not sure I (or the tools) are quite ready for that
PerlJam pm: or write that VAST->PAST tool and consider yourself done :)
TimToady with VAST -> PAST, you'd just about be there 18:09
heh
Infinoid just how vast is VAST?
TimToady and I'd be delighted if I could rewrite Cursor in Perl 6 and translate it to PAST

TimToady though I'm currently trying to clean out all the useless "in" nodes, which is why we got this newfangled ~ thingie 18:12
PerlJam That ~ thingie is strange. It doesn't quite have that "string" feel that the other uses of ~ have 18:14
pmichaud pj: so, by writing VAST->PAST, we're effectively done, and the work done thus far on Rakudo is for naught?
PerlJam pm: No. Unless you had foreknowledge that that was The Right Path
TimToady well, ~~ is not really stringy either 18:15
moritz pmichaud: no. You still need many parts of actions.pm for VAST->PAST
likewise many of the builtins
PerlJam pm: Also, consider that there are other people who may well want to continue rakudo as another perl 6 implementation. 18:16
pm: the work done so far is a good bootstrap for them :)
pmichaud pj: that sounds a fair bit like Pugs. 18:17
PerlJam How so?
TimToady and the faked up regex engine that STD is using really needs to be replaced with something more efficient
pmichaud Pugs (the haskell version) would be a good bootstrap for someone wanting to continue it as another perl 6 implementation
TimToady which will be some kind of melding of PGE and Cursor
particle so adding Cursor to parrot would help STD a good deal? 18:18
pmichaud particle: I think that's misstated
writing Cursor.pm in Perl 6 and then having implementations of it available for Parrot would be a help. 18:19
particle yeah, that's better. thanks.
ruoso in fact, I would argue that every builtin type being written in Perl 6 would be of great help for everybody
pmichaud ruoso: I don't disagree, but I don't think that every builtin type can be written in Perl 6.
perhaps I'm wrong about that.
moritz neither should it, for efficiency sake 18:20
ruoso pmichaud, in theory it can... as the type system is being bootstrapped...
TimToady ruoso: but we're not trying to argue with pm today, because he's being lugubrious. :)
pmichaud :)
moritz #ps in 9 18:21
TimToady (I like it that smart people can nearly always be cheered up by going "meta")
ruoso well... even if in some places it say 'our multi map ( Code $expr, *@value ) is export ::= placeholder_for_lowlevel_thingy'
because even if some parts of that types needs to be implemented in low-level... 18:22
pmichaud ruoso: "placeholder_for_lowlevel_thingy" is the part that isn't written in Perl 6 :-)
ruoso pmichaud, but is the method dispatching written in Perl 6? or the sub dispatch?
all the built-in types need to be able to get instantiated as p6opaque or other reprs 18:23
which mean... they need to be written in Perl 6 somehow
pmichaud ruoso: I don't know. We'd have to wait and see if method dispatch and sub dispatch get specced (or written) in Perl 6
TimToady I don't care what the standard dispatchers are written in, really, since they have to be *very* fast 18:24
even if specced in Perl 6 pseudo-code...
ruoso my point is that Perl 6 has too many polymorphisms... in the end, the dispatcher needs to be in the same level as the rest of the code...
TimToady or just needs to be made to appear that way most of the time 18:25
but you have to break it somewhere
ruoso yeah... sure... by special casing some situations...
TimToady and where you break it is VM-dependent
ruoso but the general process need to be in p6
TimToady we will guarantee some things and not others 18:26
where that boundary is drawn must be negotiated among the implementations
and that's hard work
but I think it's worthwhile work
ruoso optimizations can come inside later, but the general algorithm needs to be drawn in Perl 6 itself 18:27
pmichaud and what I continually hear from people on #perl6 is (paraphrasing) "if it's not completely in Perl 6 (or P5), then it's not valid."
moritz ruoso: "optimizations later" is what killed kp6 (among other things)
ruoso moritz, no... kp6 was killed because it's simply not possible to have an acceptable performance emulating p6 runtime on top of p5 runtime 18:28
moritz pmichaud: most of the time that's an allusion of rakudo having parts in PIR and C
pmichaud: there's a big misconception about how large that part is (or actually small)
chromatic #ps in 3
ruoso moritz, pmichaud, not really... not really... it's not about being in PIR, in C or whatever... 18:29
moritz pmichaud: which is why people question you when you say that rakudo is mostly written in Perl 6
18:29 rurban joined
ruoso is about being compatible with P6 concepts... 18:29
TimToady pmichaud: you don't hear it from me, though I admit I kina like Perl 6
*kinda
pmichaud TimToady: yes, I don't hear it from you. :-)
TimToady: and I appreciate it, truly.
I like Perl 6 also, and I _really_ want to get things on Parrot to that point. 18:30
chromatic Funny, I thought the debate had ended with "The Curious Cult of Bootstrapping", or whatever I called it.
TimToady ruoso: I am not going to bake anything into the definition of standard Perl 6 that inhibits platform independence 18:31
ruoso you're getting me wrong...
I'm not saying you should...
I'm saying having *A* implementation in Perl 6 would be very much of help
to catch many corner cases... 18:32
specially because in the end, it needs to support all the features as if it were implemented in Perl 6
TimToady except that in the interests of platform independence we probably have to decide not to catch some of those corner cases
ruoso one way or another, it's important to realize which are those... 18:33
*which corner cases
PerlJam ruoso: having *A* implementation of Perl 6 would help greatly too.
TimToady no question about that; I wish I were smarter...
PerlJam right now we have many incomplete implementations of perl 6 and that doesn't help our already poor marketing department.
particle i don't care if you're smarter, just wish you were faster ;) 18:34
our marketing department is poor. that's a problem, yes.
moritz our marketing would be much better if we had a working implementation ;) 18:35

you don't have to worry about that in actions.pm
we're talking about the compile-time variables, not runtime.
i.e., these are the ones that appear in actions.pm
the twigils have already been taken care of for you (by NQP's grammar)

pmichaud sure, whre do you think those $?vars in actions.pm are being handled? ;-)
particle ah, right. sorry, my blood is in my stomache
er
pmichaud there's a small difference between seeing $? in a perl6 source program and seeing it in actions.pm
particle yes, you're right 20:36
pmichaud to the compiler (actions.pm), $? looks like a runtime variable.
particle of course, i need them both
pmichaud for *this* you don't need $? vars at runtime of the source being compiled.
particle i need $?PACKAGE in perl 6 to test
pmichaud that's going to be a lot of work, though.

particle oh, hey, while you're at it... any way to get parrotvm.org/ to point to parrot.org? 21:17
but still have the svn/ links point to feather
moritz particle: that's probably a DNS things...
particle: does parrot.org have an SVN::Web interfaces at /svn/ already?
particle i have control of that, just have no idea how
no
parrot.org does not have SVN::Web
moritz particle: then build one first, otherwise the redirect will break stuff
particle actually... svn.parrot.org/parrot/ 21:18
Infinoid parrotvm.org is an alias for perlcabal.org I think
moritz yes
Infinoid but yeah, dns is the important bit
particle parrotvm.org has been transferred to parrot foundation ownership 21:19
moritz I think Juerd_ is the one ask about DNS stuff
particle: still it would be nice not break these www.parrotvm.org/svn/parrot/revision?rev=30851 links
particle yes, i don't want to break those
Infinoid oh cool, they work 21:20
moritz++
particle i only want www.parrotvm.org/ to point to www.parrot.org/
moritz and Infinoid++
particle moritz++ Infinoid++
moritz the DNS is not handled on feather, so I can't help you with that, particle :/ 21:21
or if it is, I didn't find it
particle i can change the cname stuff
so, i'd have to change that, then have something at parrot.org redirect to feather, i suppose 21:22
moritz you could rewrite all /svn/ links to perlcabal.org
particle right
moritz on the feather side they are aliased anyway
particle i'm just not klooful enuff to do it 21:23
moritz RewriteRule ^(/syn/.*)$ perlcabal.org$1 [R=301,L] 21:24
the apache part isn't that hard ;)
Infinoid s/syn/svn/ 21:27
recursive regexes :)
moritz erm, yes
21:41 Theory joined 21:47 ruoso joined 21:49 pyrimidine joined
particle of course, i'd need access to apache for that, which i don't have as far as i know 22:02
Infinoid well, what do ya have? 22:03
oh. who runs the server? 22:04
particle osuosl 22:07
i could put in a request with them
we have a virtual machine there iiuc
Infinoid cool
oh, man. lots of merging to do to get branches/pdd13pbc relevant again 22:08
particle ick. i'm sure.

Juerd_ re hosting things on feather - note that there's a Xen virtual machine available for important things that mustn't go down when someone upgrades or screws up feather1 22:10
