katie_d I cannot figure out what obj_file in imcc_run() is for, anyone know where I could look for more info? I'm particularly interested in what the purpose of this line is: if (!interp->lo_var_ptr) {interp->lo_var_ptr = (void *)&obj_file;} ... I know lo_var_ptr is used for stack tracing. objfile is an int that was just declared but not defined -- so I can't see how they are connected. Anyone have any idea about this? 04:02
PerlJam Given a STRING*, how do I do the equivalent of isalpha() on the characters of the string? I know I can use string_ord() to get at an individual character, but is there some special encoding-aware function that I need to use to determine if it's an alpha, numeric, etc. ? 04:12
katie_d: I'd guess that it's a bug. 04:14
katie_d: it's been a while since I've done much C coding, but taking the address of a local variable and storing it somewhere has never been a good thing. 04:15

PerlJam katie_d: though, I suppose if it's only used within the imcc_run() function, it may be okay. 04:17

PerlJam katie_d: yes, at least ask. 04:54

: Don't complain about ints as boooleans
diff: parrotvm.org/svn/parrot/revision/?rev=26290
katie_d Hmmm. I think I might have figured it out. lo_var_ptr is used by trace_system_stack() -- it is where memory tracing begins -- and obj_file is the first thing declared in imcc_run(), so would it not be at the bottom of the stack within imcc_run()? It seems that they are just using that as a marker so that stack tracing will start after the args for imcc_run() ... this should definitely be documented with a one line comment above the c 05:56
Tene katie_d: cut off after "above the c..." 05:57
katie_d above the conditional.
Tene katie_d: www.irssi.org/scripts/scripts/splitlong.pl 05:58
katie_d Tene: Excellent. Thank you :)
Tene np 05:59
katie_d: nice work on figuring out that part of imcc
You should open an rt ticket about it
purl: parrotbug 06:00
purl parrotbug is, like, mailto:parrotbug@parrotcode.org or svn.perl.org/parrot/trunk/docs/submissions.pod
katie_d Tene: Yes. I already opened one up requesting that it be documented.
Tene Ahh.

hurm. the failures in tcl branch are slightly different than those in trunk. 13:48
13:53 jhorwitz joined 14:15 katie_d joined 14:19 rdice joined
Coke hurm. I think get_string in src/pmc/tcllist.pmc needs to be PDD17-erized. 14:36
(my attempts to do so generate many more test failures that we have currently, though. =-) 14:37
jhorwitz is happy all mod_parrot tests pass against PDD17 branch 15:06

Coke rant: #line 444 "/home/coke/sandbox/pdd17pmc/tools/build/../../lib/Parrot/Pmc2c/PCCMETHOD.pm" 15:53
... this seems to cause GDB to display the perl source when debugging.
It would be most helpful if there was a way to invoke Dumper() on a PMC from gdb. any clues? 16:00
Infinoid you can say "print <c-expression>" to make gdb call a C function with specified arguments and print its return value 16:06
16:06 wknight8111 joined, parrot-poke joined, katie_d joined
Infinoid and if that C function prints some stuff as a side effect, you'll see that too 16:07
16:11 confound joined, dngor joined 16:12 particle joined, clunker joined
Coke Yes, but all the dumper stuff is a parrot function, not a C function, which makes that much more complicated. :| 16:15
katie_d Coke: You can call anything in the symbol table w/ print. 16:16
particle i wonder if pdb would be more help than gdb
16:19 confound joined 16:20 confound joined
Coke katie_d: print (p?) just shows the top level struct info for a PMC. I want something that if I have a pmc that does list, it prints out 0: "first element"\\n1: "second element", etc. 16:21
16:21 confound joined
Coke if pdb helped, I could just write PIR to dump it for me. My problem is trying to analyze a PMC that's in a method written in C, while I'm still in that method. 16:21
meh. I think I've tracked down what I need, but lunch and work beckon. 16:22
Infinoid Coke: chromatic would probably know how to do this. I'm not familiar at all with the parrot C API, sorry
particle oh my god, it's an infinoid! 16:24
where'd your tuits go?
16:24 confound joined, dngor joined

kj good evening 18:55
i seem to remember that ANSI control characters have worked some day in the past (printing them using PIR print op) 18:56
but unfortunately i can't get it working anymore :-(
(otherwise I have a nice Game of Life demo :-)
Coke should work, ja. 18:57
how are they not working for you?
kj I once did it with binary: prefix
i just get ugly tokens on my screen, just the letters of the control character
a few years ago, I used binary:"\\e[H" 18:58
and binary:"\\e[2J" too 18:59
one is for clear screen, other for cursor I think
particle coke: see src/pmc/exporter.pmc ~322 (METHOD import) 19:00
funny that we still have PCCINVOKE 19:01
after PCCMETHOD and PCCRETURN have been converted
Coke ... If you call allison on it, she'll probably update it.
particle i can do it myself
just need an hour or so to go through the code
(not now) 19:02
barney no control chars in examples/pir/life.pir 19:04
kj barney: yeah I know. I stole Lua's life 19:05

Coke PCCINVOKE(INTERP, P0, "replace", STRING *orig, STRING *repl); 19:14
This converts to:
19:15 marmic joined
Coke Parrot_PCCINVOKE(interp, P0, CONST_STRING(interp, "replace"), "SS->", orig, repl); 19:17
which then dies on build with: 19:18
./tcllist.pmc:157: warning: passing argument 3 of 'Parrot_PCCINVOKE' makes pointer from integer without a cast
./tcllist.pmc:116: error: incompatible types in assignment
does CONST_STRING even work in dynpmcs?
particle oh, you can't do that.
Coke I can't do what... use the PCCINVOKE shortcut? 19:19
particle the PCCINVOKE macro expects <type> <name>
so CONST_STRING(interp, "foo") is no good there
Coke I didn't write const_string. the pmc2c generator did. 19:20
particle STRING * s_replace = CONST_STRING(interp, "replace");
hrmm. P0 is SELF ?
Coke no.
it's the result of a pmc_new, earlier. 19:21
particle ok, but it's a pmc
Coke yup
lemme try this directly with the macro.
particle with a strange pir-like name. ok. which pmc? tcllist.

particle wonders if a C sub inside pmclass {} can be marked VTABLE *and* METHOD 20:44
Coke I doubt it. 20:54
VTABLEs in C don't follow the PCC.
particle figured.
Coke s/don't/don't seem to/
particle it's a small difference between PIR and C class definitions 20:55
Coke I wonder if you can have VTABLE get_string and METHOD get_string in the same PMC. 20:58
if so, then the difference is just that PIR gives you sugar.
