03:42
rrot: r37920 | petdance++ | trunk/compilers/imcc/pbc.c:
more consting
03:55
cotto What's the advantage of the consting that petdance is doing? 04:04
04:05 tuxdna joined
cotto Is it just to prevent possible typos and misuses of variables, or is there more to it? 04:06
GeJ optimization? by consting a variable that you know won't change, you can instruct the compiler to do some optimization? 04:09
but that's just an uninformed guess.

Infinoid Coke: (skip review) Does that mean you missed nopaste.snit.ch/16115? 14:19
Coke Yes. 14:26
I talked to kjs - he's not going to have tuits soon; if you want to go ahead and apply that, that would be great. =-) 14:27
I had just gotten myself to the point where I was going to have to deal with all the 'make headerizer' warnings, which are beyond my level of C.
14:30 pjcj joined
Coke so if you add that in, awesome. =-) 14:33
I /might/ be able to use the changes you made there to update the pirc fils
Infinoid Can do. I made some minor changes since then, headerizer is *really* picky about having functions' opening curly braces on their own lines, and I missed a few 14:34
(I don't particularly like that coding standard, but consistency is more important than appealing to my tastes.) 14:35
Coke ditto. (I don't agree with all the coding std policies) 14:36
Infinoid uploads AI::Evolve::Befunge 0.03 to CPAN and comes back to parroty things
davidfetter wonders whether Infinoid is 5 days late 14:38
Coke I just checked, an earlier version is alreday there. 14:41
davidfetter eek
dalek kudo: e83b2b8 | (Carl Masak)++ | src/ (2 files):
implemented IO.ins
14:43
shorten dalek's url is at xrl.us/benz4p 14:44
Infinoid 5 days late to what? 14:46
davidfetter well, it's april 6 here
Infinoid Ah. Well, this is a serious project :) 14:51
Infinoid makes sure pirc still builds
Still fails tests, but doesn't fail any new ones. 14:54
dalek rrot: r37922 | Infinoid++ | trunk (3 files):
[cage] Headerize compilers/pirc/src/bcgen.c.
rrot: r37923 | coke++ | trunk/compilers/pirc/src/bcgen.c:
[t/docs] fix pod-o, add doc stub, rerun through headerizer.
15:04
Coke Infinoid: best we can hope for. =-) 15:08
hopefully once we headerizer everything, we can turn it on to build all the time. 15:09
15:09 Theory joined
Infinoid And then we can start seriously thinking about *using* it :) 15:09
Coke Infinoid: did you find docs for what, say, ARGMOD means? 15:12
Infinoid Yeah, those are in c_functions.pod in docs/dev/ iirc
Coke Infinoid++ 15:13
Infinoid however, pirc is *very* well consted, so it was fairly trivial to figure out which ones were ARGIN vs. ARGMOD
Coke const implies IN ? 15:14
Infinoid yes.
I had to add a few NULLOKs after the fact to get tests passing, and I don't know how many of those are left... but better test coverage would reassure me of that 15:15
Coke ah, so you added those like I would have. =-) 15:16
rather than by analyzing the code to see.
Infinoid well, I gave the functions a quick once-over, but all of that is best-effort unless I took the time to fully understand PIRC (which I haven't) 15:17
15:17 Santtu joined
Infinoid I had the same issue when adding the ASSERT_ARGS stuff to Parrot. 15:17
Good test coverage is the only way to be sure we've gotten that right :) 15:18
15:19 cognominal joined
Infinoid A quick rule of thumb is, if you see the argument being tested with an if() statement, it's NULLOK. If you see it being deferenced without a check, it's definitely not NULLOK 15:20
15:20 donaldh joined
dalek kudo: 8f4dc52 | pmichaud++ | docs/spectest-progress.csv:

15:22

Coke tries to figure out how to add UNUSED() to something. it seems to want ARGIN /too/ 15:43
Infinoid You might want SHIM(). I think UNUSED() goes in the function body, not the arguments list
Coke SHIM means never used. UNUSED means not used yet. 15:44
15:44 Tene joined
Coke since I don't know pirc, I figured I'd assume the latter. 15:44
(function just returns NULL right now)
Infinoid ok. looking at other parrot sources, it looks like UNUSED is mainly used for local variables, not args 15:45
Coke ah, right.
Infinoid even though the example in c_functions.pod is clearly using it for an argument 15:46
So don't listen to me.
particle i wonder if that example is wrong 15:51
Infinoid I imagine it's useful for arguments too. I'm just not sure how the distinction of "never used" vs "not used yet" helps 15:52
I mean, should I feel guilty when I change SHIM_INTERP to PARROT_INTERP? (I've done that before.) 15:53
15:58 Psyche^ joined
particle no, you shouldn't 15:58
the idea with SHIM_INTERP was that all macros should take an interp param 15:59
s/macros/functions/
macros, too.
particle still has weekend-itis
16:05 Whiteknight joined 16:08 cognominal joined
Infinoid Weekends need to be longer. I wonder if someone's already opened a TT# for that 16:14
16:17 shucho joined
Coke sees www.h-online.com/open/What-happens-...res/112997 from perlbuzz++ 16:33
Infinoid: ok. I am now failing ASSERT_ARGS on one of the functions I'm trying to headerize. 16:36
also, headerizer isn't catching all my functions. hurm. 16:39
Infinoid (headerizer not catching all functions) Make sure the opening curly brace is on it's own line, it (sometimes) ignores functions otherwise 16:49
(failing ASSERT_ARGS) nopaste your current patch? 16:50
s/it's/its/
Coke Infinoid: moment. 16:51
particle does anyone else remember reading something about 5.8 not getting any new features?
moritz I did 16:52
in the release announcement for 5.8.9
particle fab.
16:53 darbelo joined
Coke particle: rejecting a SOC proposal? 16:55
particle adding weight to moritz++'s comments on one
moritz particle++
Coke Infinoid: first I fixed the rest of the functions to get headerized, then fixed the warnings there... now no test failures.
Infinoid++ 16:56
moritz I had a chat with Nicholas about that proposal
particle and he's not interested, i imagine
Infinoid Coke: cool.
moritz particle: "not interested" is too strong, but he's not convinved of the usefulness, and would have no time to mentor it anyway 16:57
particle does devel::declare allow you to create new ops?
~~ seems like a no-go in 5.8
Coke I imagine chromatic might have a thing to say about making the 5.8 line shinier. 16:58
Infinoid: whoops, need to rerun codetest, fix a few things up, but looks promising.
particle UPGRADE OR DIE</chromatic>
and i agree. 16:59
Coke you need a semicolon there. =-)
moritz I'd also like to know hoe accessible Devel::Declare is
for somebody who knows perl, but not all the gory details of the core 17:00
the student doesn't seem to have any experience with it
particle yeah, and somebody forgot to document it 17:03
moritz my first impression of this proposal was "wow, this is a cool idea". But I don't think it's useful 17:04
particle my first impression was "hasn't perl 6 been backported far enough already?" 17:07
Coke without an anti-chromatic to support it internally, I don't think it'd last past the summer. 17:09

Whiteknight I'd be happy to be a mentor if an extra one was needed. I'm sure I've missed whatever signup was needed though
I've been very far out of the loop lately 18:30
Coke who "owns" 5.8? 18:33
rafael?
purl rafael is probably known as rgs
particle nick
iirc 18:34
yep, he did the 5.8.9 release
Coke danke.
Whiteknight particle: Does gsoc need any help this year? 18:36
I've got a large tuit debt that I need to start paying down 18:37
particle always! if you're interested in mentoring, i'll get you set up.
Coke particle: <STAGE WHISPER>you should make him merge the GC GSOC branch to trunk first. </> 18:38
Coke whistles innocently.
particle finds a student proposal that has that as a prereq ;) 18:40
Whiteknight Coke, that branch is nowhere near ready to merge, and trunk has developed so much since last summer that any attempt would be a disaster
we learned a lot from it though, and that's the important thing
Coke OOC, did that knowledge get written up? 18:41
(i don't really know anything about GC, so that's not a snarky question, I promise.) 18:42
particle snark factor five, mister cola.
Coke ok, it's not /intended/ as snarky. 18:44
I realize that given my history it's hard to tell. =-) 18:45
Whiteknight Coke, It's an issue that hasn't been forgotten, I assure you 18:48
Coke I just figure if the lessons are written down, then someone else can pick up the task if it's shiny for them.
I am fairly certain that person won't be me.
Whiteknight I keep hoping that person will be me 18:50
But last time I tried, I wasn't a good enough programmer to make it work, so we will see
Coke low bus number bad.
Whiteknight a lot of the lessons learned were similar to Edison's "twenty thousand ways how not to make a lightbulb" lessons 18:54
although I doubt we've made 20,000 attempts at a damn GC 18:55
plus I think chromatic would have a stroke if I coded so aimlessly
particle that sounds like a fun challenge. 18:57
Whiteknight When Google starts a "lifetime of code" program, we'll put that in as a suggestion 18:59
cotto So instead of using a fuzzer to find bugs, we should be using it to write a GC? 19:00
particle i'm curious about fuzzing with ulimit 19:01
cotto The library (fusil) does a good job of running Parrot in a limited environment so it can't do much damage. 19:02
particle but can you control that environment, to limit the data segment size, or number of procs/threads 19:03
i guess that there's limited application for fuzzing and constrained operating environments 19:04
these are usually tested separately
cotto I haven't looked into how configurable it is. 19:05
particle 's great to have fuzzing, anyway. i don't think i've expressed that in karma until now: cotto++ 19:06
Infinoid fuzzing? 19:23
purl fuzzing is probably supplying intentionally malformed data into an application to detect vulnerabilities in the application's parsing of said data.
Infinoid ah.
cotto In that sense I'm not really fuzzing. tools/dev/parrot-fuzzer basically uses a rng to write short snippets of PIR, hoping to find something that explodes. 19:37
There usually isn't anything malformed about it.
Infinoid in this case, there's probably a lot more space to look for semantic bugs than syntactic ones 19:39
Sounds awesome.
cotto Feel free to play along at home.
BTW Infinoid, I'm checking what you could do to help with TT #519. 19:40
Infinoid is spending all his free cpu cycles generating random befunge code, hoping to evolve skynet
19:42 luca joined
luca I can't build parrot on xubuntu 19:42
Infinoid What's the error?
purl Infinoid: .lib section in a.out corrupted
cotto Figuring out TT #365 (which is related) would be really nice. I've looked several times but haven't figured out what code is looking at PMC_struct_val. 19:43
What's the error?
purl cotto: Disk quota exceeded
cotto What's the error?
purl cotto: Structure needs cleaning
luca compilation failed with cc
Infinoid cotto: How do you detect it? Got a test case?
luca, can you copypaste the whole error onto nopaste.snit.ch for us? 19:44
luca yes
one moment
Infinoid everything leading up to that, please
thanks
cotto: do you know if it's trying to write to PMC_struct_val, or just read from it? if it's being rewritten, a gdb watchpoint might work
cotto luca, you can also use tools/dev/nopaste.pl
Infinoid, I don't think it's writing, but it's definitely reading. 19:45
Infinoid Unfortunately I'm on x86-64, so I don't normally see much jit in action
I've got some other boxes I can appropriate for the purposes of tracking this down tho
Infinoid updates his parrot 19:46
Coke++ # you've been busy today!
nopaste "luca" at 78.12.64.248 pasted "configure error on XUBUNTU" (14 lines) at nopaste.snit.ch/16146 19:49
Infinoid Have you installed the "build-essential" package?
luca well 19:50
i have gcc
i have make
i have yacc
i have perl
what else do i need?
ah obviously make
Infinoid you have make, you just said :)
you'd probably need -dev packages installed for any libraries you want to link with, like gcc 19:51
I think build-essential should cover all of that, though.
uh, s/gcc/glibc/
luca i am going with build-essential
Infinoid Does a simple "hello world" c program compile successfully? I think that's all the failing configure step is doing
particle isn't there a guide for ...oh, it's packaging... on ubuntu 19:52
i bet that has the required packages, though
luca no
it was because of that package missing
configure now it's going
thanks infinoid
Infinoid np, let us know how the build goes :)
acajou was prompted to try to build Rakudo (& Parrot) for the first time by luca... build ongoing (Kubuntu 8.04.2). 19:53
19:53 luca left
particle pmichaud uses kubuntu to run parrot, and develop rakudo 19:54
acajou Ah, so I shouldn't expect hiccups... Indeed. make test reports all tests successful. 19:56
particle yay 19:59
acajou Is "./perl6 -V" *supposed* to work?
particle i don't think that's been implemented yet
acajou nods. 20:00
particle ./perl6 --help
or did i put a longname on that option? maybe it's just -h
acajou can't believe he has Perl6 on his machine!
particle :)
now you should play with it! 20:01
acajou I remember reading the first few apocalypses and being all excited...
--help works
particle perlgeek.de/blog-en/perl-5-to-6/
rakudo.org has some good content, too 20:02
acajou I imagine/hope there'll be a "Programming Perl6" book... 20:06
particle i expect there will be more than one :)
Infinoid Hopefully not one per implementation of perl6
acajou Is Rakudo going to be the "official" Perl or not? 20:07
acajou is still getting used to the idea of multiple implementations...
Infinoid The "official" perl is defined as "any implementation that passes The Enormous Perl6 Test Suite"
acajou :)
Infinoid I think
pmichaud There's no such thing as an "official Perl 6" 20:08
Infinoid how relatively complete are the various implementations, pm? 20:09
particle see perlcabal.org/syn/S01.html#Project_Plan
pmichaud From Synopsis 1: "What we can say here is that, unlike how it was with
Perl 5, none of these projects is designed to be the Official Perl.
Perl 6 is anything that passes the official test suite."
acajou wodners if that might create a PR "issue" - when do you tell the world "Perl 6 goes 1.0!"? 20:10
pmichaud it's hard to judge relative completion. Arguably Rakudo is the most complete and up-to-date of the available implementations.
Infinoid Rakudo has been making great and very consistent progress, too
Coke acajou: i suspect it's going to be "perl 6.0 rakudo 1.0"
changes in perl6 version mean changes to the spec, IIUI. 20:11
er, AIUI.
Infinoid acajou: I guess you'd say that when one implementation passes 100% of the test suite
nopaste "pmichaud" at 72.181.176.220 pasted "Current rakudo spectest progress, 2009-04-06" (17 lines) at nopaste.snit.ch/16149
pmichaud The "pass" column says how many tests we pass. The "spec" column indicates how many tests are in the suite. 20:12
(the others indicate the various ways in which we fail or skip tests)
particle not enough, on both counts
acajou That's just a text version of the graph at www.rakudo.org/status right? 20:14
pmichaud yes, but it's broken out by synopsis
acajou Right.
pmichaud the graph only shows the "Total" line.
Infinoid What's the "spec" column? 20:15
particle #tests in spec test suite 20:16
Coke guesses total # of spec tests.
pmichaud The total number of tests in the sui.... what we all said :-)
It's an estimate derived from the 'plan' lines of each test file.
dalek rrot: r37928 | coke++ | trunk/ports/macports/Portfile:
[ports] update macport for 1.0.0 to install the dev tools by default.
acajou BTW, the progress on the graph is impressive. Gives outsiders (like me) a pretty good impression.
pmichaud thanks. I like measurable project. 20:17
measurable progress.
particle 319 days in that graph range 20:18
8436/319
purl 26.4451410658307
moritz 8436/319*30 20:19
purl 793.354231974922
Infinoid So in not even a full year, the number of tests more than quadrupled
talk about a moving target...
particle average 26 passing spectests per day
acajou Hey, so project out to 16k to get the release date! ;) 20:20
particle ...or ~800 per month
that's where it stops being linear.
unless our number of workers grows exponentially
moritz at some point, when there aren't enough new tests in the test suite, we'll see a phase transition 20:21
particle i'll be writing (mostly failing) S19 tests soon
acajou Excuse my noobness, but I don't see a S19 on the synopses page...? 20:22
particle which synopses page? it's here: perlcabal.org/syn/
20:22 tuxdna joined
acajou Ah, google led me to dev.perl.org/perl6/doc/synopsis.html 20:23
particle yikes, that's olden.
Coke need to put in redirects in those files, or make the svn external smarter. 20:24
I opened a macport ticket for that update. 20:25
acajou the url (dev.perl.org/perl6) leads one to expect pretty official docs...
moritz acajou: yes, but it's totally outdated 20:27
like half of the Perl 6 websites :(
acajou Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. 20:28
Coke the perl6/doc/synopsis.html file uses svn.perl.org/perl6/doc/trunk/design/syn for the behind the scenes stuff.
moritz which hasn't been in use for... what? half a year? 20:29
Coke $ svn pg svn:externals
design svn.perl.org/perl6/doc/trunk/design/
so tell me what that /should/ be? 20:30
(that design dir contains apo/syn/exe)
particle i don't think the apo/exe have been moved to the pugs repo 20:32
since they're strictly historical now
pmichaud synopsis.html should likely forward to the perlcabal.org/syn address (as it does in the left sidebar) 20:35
Coke where should the APO/EXE files redirect to? 20:36
pmichaud I think they continue to live on dev.perl.org
moritz yes 20:37
they aren't updated anymore, so no need to make them more accessible
Coke I just don't want to break the links. 20:38
cotto pmichaud, is there any reason rakudo doesn't use -j for make when using --gen-parrot?
pmichaud cotto: do all make's support -j ?
cotto good question
purl Yeah, it is. I'm stumped.
Coke nmake doesn't use it. not sure if it errors on it. 20:39
pmichaud anyway, that would be why. In general I tend to make pessimistic assumptions about availability of special options like that.
particle NO
nmake doesn't support -j :(
Coke resend: "nmake doesn't use it. not sure if it errors on it." 20:40
particle NMAKE : fatal error U1065: invalid option 'j'
Coke so, it errors, is what you're saying?
danke. 20:41

Coke installed 1.0.0 21:14
bsdz pmichaud: hi you around? 21:39
Infinoid Who's a good person to talk to about jit architectural issues? 21:46
Hmm. By architectural I mean "design", not "porting"
Santtu++ has been working on his selinux/non-executable jit buffer issue (TT #18), and has decided to make a JitCode PMC which stores off the necessary extra data and calls the right free() function 21:48
As opposed to the current code which uses ManagedStruct (and as an alternative to a patch I cooked up to hack custom free function pointers into ManagedStruct, which didn't quite work) 21:49
cotto I think tewk knows the jit code well. 21:53
bsdz also i recall japhb saying he worked on it. might have only been for opengl though.
japhb huh-what 21:55
21:55 jan joined
japhb ? 21:55
bsdz nci jit
purl i guess nci jit is broken, even on Linux i386. It claims to work, and then does the wrong thing
japhb ah, I see ... 21:56
I've worked *with* the NCI JIT, not *on* it.
bsdz ah sorry - oops
japhb Oh, and while we're doing prepositions, I've argued *over* its design. ;-)
21:58 schinkelm joined 21:59 schinkelm joined
bsdz i must admit i've not looked closely at the nci jit internals but is suspect to handle dynamic function pointers with arbitrary arguments one has to do some cool trickery with the i386 stack. you know throw a load of pointers etc then do a jmp. i'm probably dreaming though. 21:59
cotto Infinoid, TT #519 is solved. I just need to run make test and commit. Any effort you could throw at TT #365 would be appreciated. 22:17
22:17 kid51 joined
Infinoid I'll try to look at it when I get home, but I'm not really sure where to start 22:17
cotto Some code somewhere is running PMC_struct_val(x) as a function when it should be using an ATTR. 22:20
I'm reasonably sure it's in the jit code, but I don't see any likely suspects. 22:21
s/don't/didn't/
Infinoid I suppose I can try h4x0ring PMC_struct_val to crash loudly for ManagedStruct PMCs 22:22
But I seem to recall you already did that.
Anyway, if you can't find it by grepping, it seems likely that some jit code is assuming internal layout details of the PMC structure and just using some simple pointer+offset code 22:24
A gdb read watch (or awatch or whatever it's called) would be more useful for that, I think 22:26
Are there any simple examples that reproduce it without creating thousands of ManagedStructs in the process? 22:27
cotto Let me find out. 22:29
dalek rrot: r37929 | cotto++ | trunk/tools/dev/parrot-fuzzer:
[fuzzer] add frequently-segfaulting-when-misused Packfile-related PMCs to blacklist

cotto The fuzzer is. 22:35
Infinoid Guess I'd better fix them at some point 22:36
dalek rrot: r37930 | cotto++ | trunk (6 files):
[PMC] use an ATTR for *ManagedStruct's struct pointer
22:38
cotto aliasing maek to make doesn't get old 22:49
Infinoid hehe
mkae is more common here
dalek rrot: r37931 | jkeenan++ | trunk/lib/Parrot/OpsRenumber.pm:
Eliminate a commented-out 'use' statement.
22:51
rrot: r37932 | jkeenan++ | trunk/tools/dev/opsrenumber.pl:
Update documentation to reflect fact that program no longer behaves differently post-1.0 from pre-1.0.
cotto I'm seeing lots of nice segfaults when I remove the workaround in TT #365. I'll nopaste one when I find a nice minimal example. 22:52
Infinoid That sounds promising :) 22:55
msg tewk Could you review Santtu's patches in TT #18? Rather than hacking up ManagedStruct to play around with custom free() pointers, he's decided to add a minimal JitCode pmc which DTRT and very little else. Seems cleaner to me, does it seem sane to you? 22:56
purl Message for tewk stored.
cotto found one, although I don't know why nci is even involved. 22:57

karatorian How come when I set stdin to unbuffered, it still acts as though it's line buffered? 23:03
mikehh kid51: you around 23:04
I just got some interesting results running atan against the jit core on Kubuntu Intrepid i386 23:07

mikehh TT =530 my latest comment 23:08
TT #530 my latest comment 23:09
I don't know if yhe latest changes to jit would have an eddect it was agaibst r37921 23:10
I *HATE* this keyboard 23:11
cotto karatorian, it might be a bug. 23:12
Do you have enough information to file a tt? 23:14
karatorian What's a tt? 23:21
purl a tt is, like, template toolkit or www.template-toolkit.org/ or #tt or usually n0t Text::Template
cotto a ticket on Parrot's Trac instance
mikehh Trac Ticket 23:22
purl Trac Ticket is good
cotto trac.parrot.org/parrot/report/1
karatorian Oh, thanks.
kid51 looks up from keyboard and sees mikehh's posts 23:23
mikehh: 'interesting' results? I'd say: weird! 23:25
mikehh kid51: Yes - Very!!! 23:27
kid51 Gimme a couple of minutes to see if I can reproduce. 23:28

mikehh I think it might be a timing problem on this particulat machine - it gives the occasional wierd result - but it is consistent 23:30
I've had ssome differences when running on AMD64 that no one else seems to get 23:32
kid51 mikehh: The OS/platform you were running on was ...? 23:33
mikehh Kubuntu Intrepid i386
kid51 Strange, because I get all tests passing.
mikehh with gcc 4.3.3 23:34
Infinoid argh. I keep forgetting I can't reproduce jit issues on x86-64. 23:35
mikehh I get all the other tests passing - just having problems with that one - and why I find very confusing 23:36
nopaste "kid51" at 71.247.54.220 pasted "trans13.pasm passing all on Linux/i386" (40 lines) at nopaste.snit.ch/16157 23:37
mikehh I also can't find anyone else with the same problem 23:38
kid51 Was this the hand-compiled gcc 4.3.3 you mentioned a couple of days ago? 23:40
kid51 had disastrous results hand-compiling gcc (on Darwin) a couple of years back
My test was at r 37932 (but I doubt that anything changed in the past 12 commits) 23:44
