Parrot 0.9.1 Released | parrot.org/ | < 1 week to Parrot 1.0!
Set by moderator on 10 March 2009.
rg the other 4 tests are ok 00:00
rurban what does 16_le=>8_be do? coredump or wrong values?
0 or random?
rg that one is actually all zeroes 00:01
rurban (for reference, this was cvt_num16_num8_le) 00:04
NotFound Must go sleep. Not sure yet if the encoding thing will be fixable in reasonable time. 00:05
rurban thanks, bye! 00:06
rg so, what should i run next? build with --floatval="long double"? 00:07
rurban would be good, yes
but I need the new _6.pbc files also 00:09
00:09 AndyA joined
rg i've mailed them to you 00:09
rurban thanks!
rg on monday i think
wayland76 How do I add things to the runtime search path?
rg btw would you mind reverting r37130? i don't think we need either change (at least not at the moment) 00:11
rurban parrot -l or export PARROT_RUNTIME= 00:13
wayland76 Option -l not known 00:20
Did you mean -L
rg he might. or -I. I haven't tried/needed any of them yet (not working on languages) 00:22
rurban big I for INC or big L for LIB 00:23

wayland76 Yeah, that's what the help says, but it doesn't seem to be working for me. I'll keep debugging 00:30
rurban It's probably not tested. RT#46815 test remaining options 00:33
Thanks for this catch

rg uh oh, for 16_be number really isn't working much ;) 00:50
ok 3 - 8_be=>16_be and ok 6 - 8_be=>16_be 00:51
not ok 1 - 8_le=>16_be: some random, really small (...e-320) numbers (except the last -1.75738820098141e+159) 00:52
not ok 2 - 12_le=>16_be: all zeroes 00:53
4 is like 1 and 5 is like 2
dalek rrot: r37370 | rurban++ | trunk/t/native_pbc (4 files):

rurban 8_le 12_le 16_le 8_be 16_be 00:54

12_le 1 1 0 0 0
16_le 1 0 1 0 0
8_be 1 1 1 1 1
16_be 1 1 1 0 0
correct?
rg with 0 being todo?
rurban 0 is skipping (failing) ? is todo 00:55
no we have 100% coverage, no todos anymore
rg++ 00:56
rg++ for _6.pbcs
rg i think failing tests should be todo, so we can tell when we got them fixed
rurban and now I'm going to sleep. unfortunately we cannot watch the smokes now
allison thinks differently 00:57
rg i hope she'll lighten up after the release
rurban that's the biggest problem. you can try to persuade I her. I gave up
dalek rrot: r37371 | rurban++ | trunk/t/native_pbc/number.t:
[t] 16_be updates from Rolf Grossmann. Full coverage now
rurban but I'll try to fix the implementation now that I have the data and see what I can do 00:58
rg i'll send you the _7 files in a minute
rurban thanks.
01:02 ruoso joined
rg hmm 16_be => 16_be (or probably any) isn't tested, since we didn't have the files, but it seems to work fine 01:03

jonathan allison: ping 17:32
allison jonathan: yup?
purl somebody said yup was Yellow Dog Linux's update manager.
jonathan allison: Hi! :-)
I'm working on .leave stuff for Perl 6.
allison jonathan: hi
purl que tal, allison.
jonathan We already have most pieces it seems, which is good.
allison excellent 17:33
jonathan Like, through ParrotInterpreter I can get at the return continuation of the block I want to leave.
And it (correctly as I can see) promotes it to a full continuation.
And then I can do the_cont(arg1, arg2)
To specify the return values
And it passes them. However, one quirk I found.
It passes them in "passing mode" rather than "returning mode" 17:34
That is, normally if you .return ($P0) and the place you're returning to didn't expect a return value, it will drop the $P0
However, the_cont($P0) where the thing being returned to didn't expect a $P0 in this case, gives a passing error. 17:35
I noticed in continuation.pmc
parrot_pass_args(INTERP, from_ctx, to_ctx,
src_indexes, dest_indexes, PARROT_PASS_PARAMS);
As opposed to PARROT_PASS_RESULTS
Is this a design decision that it's using the params rather than results behavior? 17:36
And any suggestions?
purl any suggestions are welcome. (including ripping it out entirely :))
jonathan (I will note that I did try changing it to PARROT_PASS_RESULTS and it does give the behaviour I want. I just don't know whether it's a correct change.) 17:39
dalek rrot: r37384 | barney++ | trunk/t/pmc/fixedpmcarray.t:
[t] a more sensible code comment
17:40
allison jonathan: results are params 17:44
jonathan: that is, a return is just an invocation of a continuation
well, let me take a step back 17:45
that PARROT_PASS_PARAMS and PARROT_PASS_RESULTS has nothing to do with the semantic quality of passing arguments and results 17:46
it has everything to do with whether values are being copied into or out of registers
jonathan It does also influence whether you get errors about too many arguments having been passed. 17:47
allison jonathan: well, one is signature checked, the other isn't 17:48
jonathan Right.
That is the thing that is tripping me up.
Because I'm invoking a continuation - a promoted return continuation - and wanting the unchecked semantics.
And continuation.pmc is giving me the checked ones. 17:49
I agree with you that beyond this difference, there are no further semantic differences though.
Coke rg: I did find error.pm (and exception.pm) after a quick google; I ended up just using eval for now. 17:50
jonathan (The fact that if I switch Continuation to do the unchekced one in the continuation PMC I get no Parrot test failures, and it resolves my issue, further suggests that, plus it agrees with what I know of the code...)
allison jonathan: but not all Continuations are return continuations, and you can't switch off signature checking for all Continuation invocations 17:51
jonathan Right, thus why I didn't want to do that. :-) 17:52
allison (that's one of the reasons return continuations are different)
jonathan Just tried the change to determine that is specifically what I'm running against.
Yeah, but the retcont is promoted to a continuation by the time I get to invoke it.
allison which is the real problem 17:53
jonathan Yes and no.
allison the fact that we need to promote return continuations at all
jonathan I think it may need to be for safety. 17:54
But also because if it was not and I invoked it, then that invocation does not call pass_args
allison it's a hack around a hack
jonathan And I can't just set_returns because that sets the returns for the curernt thingy, not the one I want to pretend I'm returning from.
allison yes, it is the only way you can do it currently 17:55
but, it needs work
later
so, what can you do now to work around it? 17:56
jonathan OK, but it actually doesn't *quite* work for me. That's the issue.
I'm rather stuck for ideas. :-(
allison can you define a signature for the continuation that matches what you need to pass it?
jonathan Well, the thing is, I have no way of knowing what I am expected to pass.
allison you know what you are passing 17:57
jonathan sub foo() { &BLOCK.leave(42) }
my $x = foo(); # this works just fine
foo(); # but this one would not
The thing is I have no way of knowing in leave when I invoke the ret continuation, what I am expected to pass.
allison but essentially those are two different signatures
jonathan Right, but I have no way of knowing that in leave. 17:58
I can't know wether results are going to be ignored or not by the caller. 17:59
I don't have a way to introspect what it is expecting so I can do something dependent upon that.
allison you should have access to that information, to implement "wants"
jonathan And if I pass the 42 and nothing is expected, the signature checking fails.
Well, we have the resultinfo op. 18:00
But that doesn't help here.
Because it only allows access to the info about the caller of the thing we are currently executing.
As in, info about what return values it expects.
For CALLER.leave for &foo.leave it won't cut it. 18:01
allison what we really need is to be able to "promote" return continuations without changing them to full continuations
that is, they shouldn't take on the signature checking characteristic when they become fully-invokable 18:02
jonathan a "$P0 = resultinfo $P1" form of the op where $P1 is a sub whose context and thus expected resuts can be obtained would be enough in some senses.
That is a more desirable option.
(what you suggested is more desirable)
typedef struct Parrot_cont could be given a "no_signature_check" flag. 18:04
allison how tough would it be to embed that logic within the return continuation PMC? that is, if it's flagged as "invocable" it enables some behavior that's otherwise disabled?
jonathan If you add a flag like that it's trivial
allison So, "promotion" becomes "set a flag"
jonathan Oh
in the return cont PMC 18:05
erm
Hmm.
allison the other possibility would be to do away with return continuations entirely and just have Continuations flagged as "return" 18:06
that is, one PMC rather than two
jonathan Perhaps. I'm hazy on the when-we-need-to-promote-and-why stuff.
In my case, it's RetContination's clone vtable meth that is producing a true continuation. 18:07
Which is in turn called by ParrotInterpreter PMC when I ask for the continuation.
Which makes sense, becaue if the continuation just became available at a PIR level we can't control what happens to it, so for safety it needs to become a full cont, as far as I understand. 18:08
Tene jonathan: are you trying to work on LABEL.leave and friends? 18:09
allison at a fundamental design level, all continuations should always be invokable
jonathan Tene: No, just &sub.leave 18:10
Tene: We don't do labels in Rakudo yet.
Tene jonathan: can you show me an example use of what you're implementing? 18:11
jonathan Tene: In Perl 6? 18:12
Tene Yes.
jonathan A simple case: sub foo { &foo.leave(42) 43 }; say foo(); # 42
Tene: But it's not like return because it works on a block.
So
my $x -> { &?BLOCK.leave(42); 42 }; say $x(); # 42 18:13
But also CALLER.leave(42) # leaves the block that called this one
And &foo.leave(42) # leaves the most recent invocation of foo
See also t\\spec\\S04-statements\\leave.t for more. 18:14
Tene Wait, most-recent? 18:15
so you could say: $x = foo(); say $x; &foo.leave(23); and it would loop?
jonathan I think it has to have an active call frame.
to quote spec 18:16
&foo.leave: 1,2,3; # Return from innermost surrounding call to &foo
Ah, so I guess that means lexically surrounding.
Tene My plan for implementing that was a control_leave exception type, and put an indication of which block you were trying to leave in the payload, along with the capture you're returning, if any.
jonathan Hmmm 18:17
dalek tracwiki: v8 | rblackwe++ | Parrot%20Virtual%20Machine%20Workshop%202009
Tene then generate handlers for the blocks that catch control_return, inspect the block that was specified, if any, and then return the capture if it's for them (or not specified)
dalek tracwiki: trac.parrot.org/parrot/wiki/Parrot...ction=diff
shorten dalek's url is at xrl.us/bejhfv
Tene I got a basic impl. of it working a few months back.
jonathan Hmm. That's a possible, but means attaching stuff to every block. When we already have the return continuation readily invokable, that seems a tad wasteful.
But it's not wrong either... 18:18
Tene I wonder if a CONTROL{} would catch a leave.
Is that specced?
Tene prods TimToady.
where are you getting the appropriate return continuation from? digging up the call stack looking for &foo? 18:19
jonathan I don't see anything in the bit of S06 I'm currently looking at saying that...
Well, at the moment I was mostly caring about doing this for CALLER - I had a specific need. ParrotInterpreter lets you get at the caller's return continuation. 18:20
Tene I thought it was implied by CONTROL{} catching return().
jonathan Yeah, in that case we would have to do it as an exception then...
Tene jonathan: would that work for lexically nested blocks? sub foo { for 1..10 { &foo.leave($i) } } ? 18:21
jonathan Apart from I see no $i declared ;-)
But I think so, yes.
Tene The inner block's caller, from the parrot perspective, would be the body of foo()
so how do you know how many callers to go back?
jonathan I'm not quite following 18:22
That would leave the current invocation of foo
Tene with ParrotInterpreter.
jonathan Oh, I see
ParrotInterpreter won't cut it in that situation.
Oh, it would 18:23
You'd also have to step back through the subs though
And compare those.
Alternatively, the Sub PMC would have a get_continuation method.
Or a dynop. ;-)
Tene jnthn: if you need to call LEAVE and friends anyway, my inclination is that it's better to leave that to the block itself and just pass an exception around. 18:37
jonathan Aye. 18:39
I can buy that one.
Plus it means I can push the task of implementing .leave onto your plate. <grin>
Tene But, I do have an "exceptions can do EVERYTHING" bias.
jonathan ;-)
Tene ... >< 18:41
You need it soon?
Infinoid if everything is an exception, then we should rename them to rules :)
Tene I'm also curious what you're needing it for.
jonathan Tene: It's not urgent, but it'd be nice to have.
I want to fix a bug involving auto-threading of junctions, believe it or not. :-) 18:42
And .leave is the neat way to do it.
Plus .leave is needed at some point anyway... 18:43
Tene The only part I'm unsure of is how to do the comparison. If the sub itself is passed, what does the generated code to compare to itself look like? 18:44
jonathan Well, .leave is a method on a block, so self is the thing you're looking for. 18:45
Would PMC address equality cut it, maybe? 18:46

Tene What goes in the ... ? 18:49
ohright, I can get the current sub from the interp, I think.
jonathan A call to interpinfo to get the current sub?
Tene Right. 18:50
jonathan Or instantiate ParrotInterpreter PMC and it's that_instance['sub'] I think.
Tene Then it's just about the equality comparison. I can worry about that later, though.
$realjob now
jonathan OK, cool
Thanks for the input, and in advance for any patches you work up!

Coke (XS) I've never touched XS before. Perhaps I should just give up now before I become... infected.
Infinoid (XS) I don't think it's "addictive" in any way, but it should be avoided on general principles 19:20
Coke t/codingstd/copyright.t is temporarily passing a TODO test; I'm about to properly re-break that.
allison Coke: should we just delete the nanoforth example? It uses a 'compile' opcode that doesn't exist anymore, and because the example is 'jsr'-based it can't invoke a real Parrot sub/method to substitute for the opcode 19:26
