kapace_ cotto_work, ok just building..
bacek_at_work kapace_, what about become parrot's commiter? Just send CLA and that's it.
cotto_work, it was in original pdd. I would like to keep it. Just to have explicit call from NQP.
kapace_ bacek_at_work, ok I might do it... where do I get CLA from? 00:33

kapace_ bacek_at_work, 404
cotto_work essentially the same implementation
bacek_at_work cotto_work, ah. Sorry, misunderstood. Nuke it. We need only Packfile.pack and .unpack. Not for segments.

dalek rrot: 54364ee | plobsing++ | src/string/api.c:
use proper exception handling mechanism in stead of abusing embed API

now platform strings work with exception handlers in place		 02:12
plobsing good thing I second guessed my fix. 02:13
Coke dukeleto: foundation, docs. 02:19
cotto ~~ 02:22
nwellnhof plobsing: i thought about adding validating functions to the string code, so you don't have to catch exceptions. 02:26
plobsing nwellnhof: that shouldn't be a hot path. if it is, your machine is configured wrong.
nwellnhof yes, it probably isn't worth the trouble. 02:27
dalek rrot/nwellnhof/unicode_filenames: ee89c8c | nwellnhof++ | / (7 files):
Use platform_cstring functions for filenames
 02:28
nopaste "nwellnhof" at 192.168.1.3 pasted "imcc and unicode filenames" (7 lines) at nopaste.snit.ch/27676 02:32
plobsing yay unicode 02:33
nwellnhof the funny thing is that we can't delete etc. unicode files until we rewrite the OS dynpmc. 02:34
and we can't use perl for tests because it doesn't support cross-platform unicode filenames. 02:35
plobsing I'd like to say "it shouldn't be too hard", but my recent experiences say different. 02:39
nwellnhof it's not that hard, but i like to do it in a clean way and not with all that #ifdefs.
that's why i started the platform_src branch 02:40
plobsing while the strategy employed by config/gen/platform and now src/platform is very frequently a good approach, I don't think it is universally applicable to platform portability issues. 02:45
checkout PARROT_HAS_BSD_STAT_EXTN for where I had to use #ifdef because *nearly* every platform extends the baseline functionality in exactly the same way
having a separate, identical file fore every system which implemented the bsd stat extensions would have resulted in much duplication 02:46
nwellnhof the stat code sould also be moved to src/platform. having the ifdefs there isn't that bad. 02:51
mikehh The header in the .gitignore file mentions being generated by tool/dev/mk_manifest_and_skip.pl, surely thisis a holdover from the svn days 02:52
nwellnhof ah, it is in pltform already
mikehh in fact Parrot::Manifest still has the code there but I don't think it is used anymore 02:53
plobsing I do in general agree with the notion that #ifdefs should be avoided where possible. ifdef soup is not fun.
nwellnhof ifdefs in the platform-specific code are ok. but they shouldn't be needed in the rest of parrot. 02:54
cotto mikehh, are you up for a codectomy?

Coke cotto: yah, i was hoping for a make flag. 04:02
basically want to find things to target to reduce build time.
plobsing you could use strace/dtrace and try to work out what is being done when 04:03
but that could be a lot of work
Coke meh. for now, just picking random .pl things and throwing NYTprof at them. 04:04
ooh, that might help. 04:05

cotto Coke++ for trying to profile the build 04:20
mikehh++ for getting html_cleanup merged. Nice work. 04:26
mikehh cotto: still need to clean up a lot of the cruft left, will probably create a branh html_cleanup_2 for that, but tomorrow 04:35
cotto what kind of cruft? 04:36
either way, the only complaint I have is that you didn't use "massacre" in the branch name.
mikehh there are a lot of leftovers from the previous incarnation in lib/Parrot/Docs we don't need but are referenced in places eg make chm or something 04:38
cotto Ripping out old unused stuff is fun. 04:39
plobsing msg fbrito if you are still interested in codeswarm, there are some good instructions at sams-rants.blogspot.com/2010/02/cod...-repo.html
aloha OK. I'll deliver the message.
mikehh cotto: aint completed the mass-acre yet
cotto codeswarm for Parrot would be interesting
mikehh or should it be mass-a-cre 04:40
Coke in mikehh's defense, I named that branch.
mikehh++ for getting something merged back to trunk!
(esp. something usable! ;)
cotto very mikehh++ 04:41
no longer need mortals fear to look into how our html docs are generated
mikehh AFAIK I have clecked the links in make html, some of you might want to check further, also the refs in the index files are now taken directly from the pod so some changes might be needed there 04:43
or should I say the names in the index/header files 04:44
cotto That should definitely be done before the release.
Coke we can do a make html test run and put it on docs under TESTME or something. 04:48
s/we/you/ ;) 04:49
ah, think I can drop extract_delimited from c2str.pl

prabuinet hi there anybody know how to run a PIR file in utf8? 11:36
11:45 TiMBuS joined 11:46 ppant left
moritz prabuinet: PIR has a syntax for escaping non-ASCII characters in string literals 12:20
which you should use
then you don't need any special options
prabuinet moritz: what to do if my variables should be in someother language? 12:22
Coke if the variables are exposed to the user (as opposed to, say, ".local" variables in a PIR sub), then they are always referred to as strings in PIR anyway. 12:26

plobsing whiteknight: exception_backtraces is a step in the right direction. 16:45
I see rethrow as 'exception handler defer', so intermediary information is not so necessary IMHO 16:46
also, not having that info in the backtrace array (as described on parrot-dev) means HLLs which implement their own backtrace formatter don't benefit from this. 16:47
16:49 p joined
p parrot cannot run a pir file with utf8 encoding? 16:50
plobsing p: it can and frequently does so for me 16:51
p in windows?
plobsing ah there's the rub
what error message do you get? 16:52
p error:imcc:syntax error, unexpected $endInvalid character in ASCII string
imcc syntax error
plobsing in what kind of token are you using non-ascii characters (eg: string literal, local variable name, etc)? 16:53
p i've just give two lines
whiteknight plobsing: yes, it's a step in the right direction. I think of exception_backtrace as being more of a temporary fix than the final solution
p .sub main
.end
whiteknight plobsing: I think the real solution is a proper BackTrace PMC type that can handle all the necessary information in an encapsulated and subclassable way 16:54
plobsing that error message indicates to me that you probably have 2 errors: 1 is an unexpected end-of-file, and a non-ascii character near that EOF
whiteknight: I don't care about intermediary catch info. if I have the original frame, all intervening scopes are already visible 16:55
p: the only way to get the error message you've described is if you have a non-ascii encoded character somewhere in your file. the code you've pasted does not contain such characters 16:56
utf-8 == ascii if ord(c) < 127 16:57
p i'm editing with notepad, saving the same file in ansi format and running with parrot , then not getting any error. 16:59
if changed it to utf-8 or any other format , i'm getting error.
plobsing p: can you fire up a hex editor and look for characters greater than 0x80? 17:00
the file you've described should be identical in ascii or utf8
17:04 fbrito left
plobsing p: is it possible your editor is adding a BOM (byte-order-mark)? 17:13
p you are correct 17:21
thanks
it's BOM
plobsing I wonder if it is possible to make lex/yacc deal with BOMs correctly 17:22
p plobsing: identifiers in pir cannot contain foreign language characters? 17:25
plobsing it isn't in the spec anywhere, but I suspect the parser wouldn't like it 17:28
17:29 whiteknight left
plobsing p: why do you want foreign language identifiers in PIR variable names? 17:29
s/variable/register/
p i'm writing a compiler which converts a programming-language to PIR in which variables are declared in foreignlang 17:31
plobsing yep, the lexer defines identifiers to be [a-zA-Z_@][a-zA-Z0-9_@]*
p: you shouldn't try to map HLLs directly to PIR. it always ends in frustration. 17:32
p so what is the right way to do?
directly to pbc?
plobsing use $Pxx registers. possibly add comments to indicate the mapping. 17:33
compiling directly to PBC might be a long-term objective, but there are some caveats involved. PBC is not static, but changes to better serve the needs of users. 17:34
p ok
plobsing p: look at Winxed (winxed.googlecode.com) for probably the closest thing to direct mapping from an HLL to PIR that is advisable
p ok 17:35
plobsing OOC, what language are you trying to compile to parrot? if it is custom, do you have a description of it somewhere? 17:36
p no new ideas, just for learning. 17:39
i'm trying to write a lang similar to c-like language , with just symbols changed to my local language.

p plobsing: do you know any such lang's using antlr ? 17:45
plobsing p: I do not think there are any comiplers that target parrot implemented with ANTLR 17:46
the usual advice is to use Perl 6 grammars (either through PGE, NQP, or Rakudo), however there are other compilers doing their own thing (eg: Winxed) 17:47
and of course, I'm implementing another compiler framework based on PEGs (OMeta)

NotFound Yuki`N: this one: pir_output_is( <<'CODE', $entries2, 'Test OS.readdir with ord >127' ); 22:33
dalek rrot/nwellnhof/platform_src: 770403b | nwellnhof++ | / (3 files):
Make win32 tests pass
NotFound Yuki`N: and the others in that block, if readdir is really working on windows now. 22:34
Yuki`N Readdir works, but the non-ascii filenames does not. 22:36
nwellnhof Yuki`N: i have the same problem with Configure.pl
NotFound Yuki`N: but that test was passing, wasn't it? 22:37
Yuki`N No, readdir never passed.
The todo'd can_write OS test passed.
The readdir tests were skipped.
nwellnhof we should move the windows code away from readdir to the native windows api 22:38
Yuki`N Yeah.
NotFound <Yuki`N> That todo'd OS test passes for me. <Yuki`N> It even passes on win32.
Yuki`N Todo'd, I said. readdir was skipped.
22:38 preflex left
Yuki`N Native WinAPI supports widechars. 22:38
NotFound Yuki`N: I'm not sure, the mix of skip and todo in that part of the file confuses me. 22:39
dalek rrot/nwellnhof/platform_src: 644658e | nwellnhof++ | / (54 files):
Merge branch 'master' into nwellnhof/platform_src
 22:40
Yuki`N Yeah. :/
I'm getting test failures with t/dynoplibs/debug.t and t/library/streams.t
nwellnhof does dalek handle merges to branches now? 22:41
NotFound Yuki`N: yes, but we should change several file and directory functions to use the wide char interface, recoding when needed.
22:41 preflex joined
Yuki`N That is true. 22:41
NotFound And we are short of developers interested in low level windows details. 22:42
nwellnhof NotFound: that's one of the reasons i created the platform_src branch
now we have all platform-specific code in one place and don't do silly things like generating src/platform.c during config. 22:43
NotFound nwellnhof++
nwellnhof but we could really need some win32 hackers... 22:44
cotto_work yeah. They're in short supply. 22:45
NotFound Windows developers are mostly interested in .net things these days, it seems.
Yuki`N .net is beautiful tbh. 22:46
At least I like it.
jnthn Well, also there's plenty of jobs in .Net development.
NotFound Compiling parrot with managed C++ may be doable? 22:47
jnthn There's a decided shortage of them where I live. Well, of good ones anyway.
NotFound: Maybe, but I don't know how much of a win it'd be. :)
NotFound: If any. :)
NotFound jnthn: me neither, is just an idea. 22:48
22:48 gbacon left
Yuki`N imho managed c++ is pretty stupid though. 22:48
NotFound Yuki`N: I don't care, if it can be a way to have a version regularly built and tested. 22:49
Yuki`N Parrot is C, anyway, isn't it? 22:50
NotFound Yuki`N: is mostly written in the common subset of C and C++
With conditional compling hiding the differences. 22:51
Yuki`N: to compile it as C++ in linux: perl Configure.pl --cc=g++ --cxx=g++ --link=g++ --ld=g++ 22:53
Yuki`N Ah. 22:54
NotFound It helps to catch several kinds of errors easily
22:56 plobsing left
cotto_work mingw32 and msvc smolder reports submitted 22:58
NotFound cotto_work: unfortunately, smolder reports doesn't show what happens with skipped tests. 22:59

dalek p-rx/nom: fac4f86 | jonathan++ | src/ (2 files):
Pass name along to meta-object so classes know how they're called.
 23:13
p-rx/nom: cbd0747 | jonathan++ | src/stage0/ (3 files):
Update bootstrap with recent changes.
p-rx/nom: ab3a2a5 | jonathan++ | / (3 files):
Add a barebones NQPMu and make it the default base class for anything declared with NQPClassHOW.
p-rx/nom: 5821a4c | jonathan++ | t/nqp/28-subclass.t:
Correct a test (also previously corrected in 6model repo copy of the test suite).
 23:20
p-rx/nom: 67bb846 | jonathan++ | src/NQP/ (2 files):
Switch the class package declarator to use 6model. There are a couple of regressions out of this. One is of multis, which I don't care about since they're getting re-done Real Soon Now. The other is the :vtable trait handling, which I'll fix at some point, but is low priority. At this point, just grammars are left using P6metaclass.

dalek p-rx/nom: d357201 | jonathan++ | src/stage0/ (3 files):
Update bootstrap with class declarator using 6model, so class_6m elimination can start.
 23:39
p-rx/nom: 09ed288 | jonathan++ | src/ (7 files):
Remove usage of class_6m.
kid51 cotto_work: ping 23:48
cotto_work jnthn: it's exciting to see nom start to fully use the new object model
kid51: pong
kid51 cotto_work: trac.parrot.org/parrot/ticket/1925 about removing auto::jit ...
... Do you (a) accept it in general; (b) want it done before 3.0? 23:49
jnthn cotto_work: Yes, it's going surprisingly well.
cotto_work That's a very internal change that I'd be comfortable having removed any time before the weekend. There's no way anyone should be depending on that outside Parrot itself unless I'm misunderstanding it. 23:50
kid51 k
cotto_work I would prefer sooner than later, though. 23:51
dalek p-rx/nom: f0b00d8 | jonathan++ | src/NQP/ (2 files):
Remove last remains of class_6m from the grammar/actions.
 23:53
p-rx/nom: 013ebe2 | jonathan++ | src/metamodel/how/NQPClassHOW.pm:
Publish type cache (pretty much directly taken from 6model/common).
p-rx/nom: 80c8322 | jonathan++ | src/metamodel/how/NQPMu.pm:
A cheating NQPMu.ACCEPTS. Need multi-dispatch done to do the non-cheating version that we have in nqpclr. It's enough to reclaim a regressed test file, for now.
cotto_work kid51: is there a branch for that ticket?
23:56 whiteknight joined 23:57 plobsing left
cotto_work kid51: making a branch now] 23:58
kid51 cotto_work: Huh? I was just preparing to merge the remove_auto_jit branch
cotto_work silly me
kid51 You don't need to do anything.
cotto_work proceed 23:59
kid51 Am testing.
Should have results < 15 min.
