Parrot 3.5.0 "Menelaus" released | parrot.org | Log: irclog.perlgeek.de/parrot/today | #parrotsketch meeting Tuesday 1930 UTC | Code freeze in effect except for test failure fixes
Set by moderator on 14 July 2011.

Ademan approximately how many opcodes does parrot have implemented? and do certain projects (say pynie) use all of them or is it likely that a given project only uses a small subset? 00:27
(since it looks like there a bunch of sets of opcodes)
cotto Ademan, <1100 00:28
dalek rrot: 743b6b8 | cotto++ | docs/project/release_manager_guide.pod:
add coke++ as the 3.7.0 release manager
Coke what, did I forget to push? bah.
cotto you'll probably needs a subset of them
Coke ah, got distracted.
cotto you can add more via dynops 00:29
dukeleto Ademan: 1088 according to src/ops/core_ops.c
Ademan: there are also dynamically loadable ops too 00:30

bubaflub good evening whiteknight 01:19
whiteknight hello bubaflub 01:20
bubaflub whiteknight: how goes it?
whiteknight well enough. I'm wiped tonight because I woke up too early and had a very busy day. I'm trying to work up the motivation to rub some code together 01:21
you? 01:22
bubaflub busy day as well - getting ready to move. trying to write some docs and do a blog post.
wife is busy playing castle crashers so that's a bit distracting
whiteknight heh. We're still not sure where we are moving. We are only sure that it's happening in two weeks 01:23
There are two problems with buying a house
1) The asshole sellers
2) The asshole realtor
besides those things, it wouldn't be so bad
bubaflub we're in a similar situation - we have to move by next friday but aren't sure we'll have our new place in time 01:24
sorear Does seling houses involve asshole buyers?
whiteknight We're trying to buy a house, and we agreed on a price after a lot of negotiation. The sellers insist the house is worth like 10k more than it is
and then BANG, the apprasal came back and proved that the house is worth less than the sellers were willing to go. Now we can't get a mortgage for the agreed price 01:25
mortgage company won't go higher than the appraisal
so we have to either get the appraisal re-done to get it up to the agreed price, or we have to get the sellers to agree to come down 01:26
and our #&@#$!@ realtor hasn't answered his phone in 3 days
So I may have to go over to his house eventually and perform an invasive medical procedure with a rake
anyway, if it isn't obvious, this is very stressful and I'll take any opportunity to vent about it :) 01:27
how are you doing? 01:29
bubaflub pretty great compared to the nonsense you have to deal with 01:31
whiteknight maybe I'm blowing it out of proportion. I might be one of those asshole buyers that sorear mentioned
Felipe hehe 01:32
whiteknight Hello Felipe 01:33
Felipe Hello Andrew 01:34
cotto ~~
whiteknight hello cotto 01:38
What Ubuntu package do I need to install in order to build Parrot with zlib support?
01:38 jsut_ joined
cotto possibly zlib1g-dev 01:39
whiteknight libz1g-dev?
oh, okay
cotto where do we use that?
whiteknight looks like Configure picked that up
We use it in the tar dynpmc, or whatever. The one that distutils uses to upload smolder reports 01:40
sorear whiteknight: money brings out the worst in people
whiteknight sorear: yeah 01:41
cotto sorear, not with gsoc students, so far. ;)
whiteknight of course, having no money would bring out the worst in my wife
01:43 jsut left
whiteknight parrot passes all tests here. Plumage is passing tests. Rosella passing all tests. PLA passing all tests 01:46
all a good sign before a supported release
cotto whiteknight, on windows? 01:47
whiteknight no, linux. I only have windows at work
Felipe someone uses windows here?
cotto whiteknight, same here. 01:48
Felipe, not enough people.
highly uninformative article: developerloremipsum.com/ 01:50
whiteknight :) 01:51
Felipe haha
whiteknight On windows, Parrot is going to link against a vanilla msvcrt.dll, I assume. At least, I hope it does 01:52
if so, I think I can fix the nciutils.t failure there
first try to GetModuleHandle("libparrot"), and if that bears no fruit, do GetModuleHandle("msvcrt")
Maybe we want a configure probe to figure out which version of libc is being loaded on windows. There are potentially many of them 01:53
Anyway, nothing I can do about it until monday. For now, bed. 01:56
Felipe good night
cotto 'night 01:57

moritz pastebin.com/CDadwnaH a fellow trying to build parrot on macos - any idea what's wrong? 13:49
jay www.parrot.org/content/funny-behavi...quaak-loop : Updated to provide better context, explaining why it wasn't a post to parrot-dev. 13:51
motirz++ Once again, thank you for your help yesterday on the :pirop<set__iQi> thingy and getting going with the custom infix operators. Huge progress yesterday because of that help. 13:52
< moritz++ > sorry, wrong place for a typo. Need coffee. 13:54
pmichaud_ jay/moritz: The difference between uppercase and lowercase signature letters is whether the opcode can accept a constant or requires a register 13:58
thus opcode__vsii would accept string and integer constant operands, while opcode__vSII would first convert each operand into a register before invoking the opcode.
(some Parrot opcodes will accept constant arguments, some will not) 13:59
whiteknight I wasn't aware of any opcodes which will not accept a constant 14:02
moritz anything that modifies stuff 14:03
upcase__ss wouldn't make sense
or setattribute with a constant object 14:04
pmichaud_ there are some opcodes that take in operands that don't accept a constant 14:10
I just ran into one this last week.. just a sec
kid51 afk 14:11
dalek kudo/nom: cf0da7d | moritz++ | src/core/Str.pm:

 14:13
pmichaud_ "escape" is one (but I don't think that's the one I ran into) 14:20
whiteknight hmmm
pmichaud_ actually, that may be the one I ran into. 14:23
some of the comparison opcodes require registers as well.

jay pmichaud: to clarify your point above, writing a custom infix<+> in NQP, I have 14:54
pir::add__III($a[0], $b[$i]);
where a and b are ResizableIntegerArray objects. Capital I or lower-case i: does it matter, and if so, how? 14:55
14:56 kid51 left 14:59 plobsing joined
pmichaud_ jay: in this case it won't matter, since neither $a[0] nor $b[$i] are constants. 15:01
15:01 mj41 joined
pmichaud_ where it might make a difference is if you write something like: 15:01
pir::add__III($a, 3)
in this case, PAST will first store the 3 into an I register before invoking the add opcode 15:02
whereas
pir::add__Iii($a, 3)
would generate an add opcode that has a constant '3' directly in the opcode. 15:03
jay pmichaud: ok. Subtle. BOth would work? The second would be faster I assume?
pmichaud_ in the case of add__Iii, the second would be faster, yes. 15:04
Using constants in opcodes is not always faster.
(it's often much slower)
jay Ok. I should probably focus on "works" versus "doesn't work" first, then think about performance. !-) 15:05
pmichaud_ absolutely

dukeleto whiteknight: i am finding the backtraces from rosella assertions not so helpful 20:55
whiteknight dukeleto: Really? What's wrong with them? 20:56
are they less helpful than the stock PIR backtraces?
dukeleto whiteknight: github.com/letolabs/parrot-libgit2/issues/2
whiteknight okay, so what's wrong with that? 20:57
dukeleto whiteknight: the winxed part of the backtrace is awesome, but most of the parrot backtrace is missing
whiteknight oh, is the rest written in PIR?
right now the backtraces use annotation information
dukeleto whiteknight: there is a bit of pir that dlfunc's all the appropriate functions in libgit2. it was generated by ncidef2pir.pl 20:58
whiteknight okay. So you need backtrace information for that 20:59
I'll take a look at it, see what I can do. Parrot's utilities for providing backtraces without annotations is not awesome
dukeleto whiteknight: well, maybe we just need to make ncidef2pir generate annotations 21:00
whiteknight fixing rosella is probably easier. Give me a few minutes to stare at it
dukeleto whiteknight: hokey dokey
whiteknight: also, how do dump the contents of an object in Winxed/Rosella ? 21:01
whiteknight: for debugging, mostly
whiteknight dukeleto: Data::Dumper, I guess
dukeleto whiteknight: i keep forgettig I can use any pbc from winxed. awesomesauce 21:02
whiteknight I may add improved Dumper functionality to Rosella eventually. I haven't hit a level of frustration yet with the parrot-provided one 21:03
dukeleto whiteknight: a dumper that recursed into object would be delicious 21:06
21:12 jmueller left 21:14 soh_cah_toa joined
whiteknight hmm...Improving backtraces is going to be a bit ugly 21:15
probably going to involve changes to Parrot
dukeleto whiteknight: like what? 21:16
whiteknight The Continuation.backtrace() method returns an array of hashes. Each hash represents a frame and has two keys: "sub" and "annotations" 21:17
I don't know why all frames aren't appearing
21:19 lichtkind joined
whiteknight dukeleto: hmm... The backtrace should include frames for all CallContexts in the chain. Are you certain you are missing frames in that backtrace? 21:20
in that test, is get_repository_open PMCNULL? A say() op there would be very instructive 21:22
er, git_repository_open 21:23
dukeleto whiteknight: when i dump the repo object, it said something like PMC => ['Git2;Repository'] 21:24
whiteknight: i don't think it is a pmcnull, but I think I am not allocating the internal datastructures correctly
whiteknight: so something deep is going boom 21:25
whiteknight: i am not sure i am missing frames, but I am at least missing the line number of the PIR code that is causing that null pmc access
whiteknight dukeleto: it looks to me like the call to the function git_repository_open itself is null 21:29
I suspect winxed cannot find it

Put all the raw libgit2 functions in the Git::Raw namespace and fix #3
 22:14
dukeleto whiteknight: the latest commit changes the error to # invoke() not implemented in class 'Undef'
whiteknight: so i suspect you are correct
whiteknight dukeleto: weird 22:16
is that symbol actually a function in libgit2, or is it a macro? 22:22

whiteknight NotFound: "Variable 'Winxed_Builtins' is not defined near Winxed_Builtins"
var foo = Winxed_Builtins.pop(array); 22:54
NotFound whiteknight: there is no builtin pop 22:55
whiteknight didn't there used to be? I've been using it all over Rosella
Felipe whiteknight: what about a stringbuilder pmc to handle the imcc error message?
whiteknight Felipe: what do you mean?
NotFound whiteknight: I've checked the compiler just in case. All uses of pop are methods in PMCs. 22:56

kid51 whiteknight: Did you catch back-and-forth re Rakudo on Win32 on parrot-dev today? Do we need to take any specific action? Can we?
whiteknight I didn't see it, no 22:59
I'll fix what I can tomorrow, if possible
I don't even know what the breakage is
kid51 Could you review it please? pmichaud and Gabor discuss.
whiteknight ok 23:00
NotFound whiteknight: the reason of the absence is that in push the bulitin can know the type of push desired (even if it really doesn't, passing the argument to pir is enough), but with push is not possible.
kid51 whiteknight: I think it's more a question of Rakudo not building on Win32, rather than Parrot not building per se
whiteknight okay
kid51 Also: This is the *best* Smolder report we've been getting on Win32: smolder.parrot.org/app/projects/rep...ails/17989
If we can address those 5 fails in 2 files, we'll have at least one Win32 box passing. 23:01

sella: b29f4c3 | Whiteknight++ | s (5 files):
Add FileSystem.Path to the build. Use it in Harness.TestFile.Factory to properly detect files with a .t extension. Add an experimental try_report function to Core.Parrot, for some standardized error reporting
sella: 1cb68f8 | Whiteknight++ | README.md:
Merge branch 'master' of github.com:Whiteknight/Rosella
NotFound If a word is not enough, I'll plagiarize Bjarne Stroustrup: "Winxed is a general purpose language designed to make (parrot) programming more enjoyable (than PIR) for the serious programmer"
whiteknight it's all about the enjoyment
cotto s/\\s//g and it's one word
soh_cah_toa i think that sums it up well 23:12
NotFound Replied to the list with that description, then. 23:17
kid51 NotFound: winxed.org/ currently has no content. Where did it go? 23:19
NotFound kid51: there is some problem with the server and I haven't contacted the admin yet. 23:20
