Coke gets YA bizarre PIR error. 01:44
Coke does not like that macros screw up lines numbers in reporting. 01:45

02:06 theory joined
nopaste "Coke" at 72.228.52.192 pasted "guess which line the error is actually on." (6 lines) at nopaste.snit.ch/17464 02:09
Coke (line 708 of runtime/builtin/string.pir)
chromatic I guess... line 708?
Coke ... *THWAP* 02:11
the line is len = length the_string 02:12
where len is defined as 'int', and the_string is a 'string'. I'm stumped. 02:13
chromatic NO idea. 02:15
Coke cleaning up remaining errors first, we'll see what's left. 02:17
ah. ".local int length" 02:21
(*#&$@#>
known issue, IIRC. 02:22
chromatic Ah.
Coke I was converting a bunch of helper .Subs into a big switch; the .local int length was ok in the one sub, but infected the single large compilation unit. 02:23
IWBNI macro line # reporting could tell the difference between code in the macro and code passed into the macro. 02:25
chromatic That's... tricky. 02:26
Coke ayup. 02:33
wtf. I did a 'git commit' and quit out. but now 'git diff' shows nothing. 02:34
02:35 janus joined
Coke git diff -cached is now showing that diff is pending a push, too. 02:37
good thing I can edit that commit message. :P 02:38
msg cotto tcl does not yet do hll annotations, help welcome. =-)
purl Message for cotto stored.
chromatic You have to git svn dcommit to push to an SVN repo. 02:39
Coke yes, I get that. I have a bunch of commits that don't have any commit messages in the local git repo. I'd like to edit them before I push them back. 02:43
is that possible? (apparently just aborting out of the 'git commit' vi session was not sufficient to abort the commit.)
chromatic Yes, it is. I don't remember how though. 02:44
git commit --amend, I believe. 02:46
Coke that shows me a commit that is, I think, 3 commits ago. 02:47
... but it doesn't show me the commit that had no message. 02:49
git log shows me everything but that last commit with no message.
(but the diff is in 'git diff --cached', not 'git diff') .... *cry*
chromatic No idea. 02:50
Coke ... back to svk it is. :P 02:51
kid51 But Coke, this year all the *cool* kids are using git ...
chromatic You're tempting the git experts here to tell you what you did wrong. Nice. 02:52
kid51 ... svk is so 2006!
Coke chromatic: first thing I did wrong was try to use git!
kid51 bid $95 to get the git book in the auction at YAPC.
kid51 aspires to be cool some day, too.
Coke GAH. it squashed 4 commits into a single commit. 02:58
WTF.
msg tene something to cover in your tutorial: - 'git commit' doesn't let you abort out by quitting the commit message like 'svn commit' does.
purl Message for tene stored.
Coke msg tene - nice to know how to edit commits locally before pushing them back. 02:59
purl Message for tene stored.
Coke msg tene - helpful to know that the default seems to be to squash all local commits into a single commit back to the svn repo.
purl Message for tene stored.

wayland76 Hmm. I'm sure my git commit message *claimed* that it would abort if the file was unedited 03:08
But I've never tested it
(I'm not a big git fan, but it seems to be unavoidable these days)

cotto chromatic, ping 03:41
chromatic pong 03:44
cotto what's happening with pluggable_runcore?
chromatic Refactoring is in progress. Mostly I need time to sit down and Just Code It. 03:45
cotto eta?
purl eta is estimated time of arrival or Euskadi Ta Askatasuna, or like the Basque PLO
chromatic If I get down to it, the next day or two. Are you starting to block? 03:46
cotto no. I won't block for a while, but it'd be nice to start having something to commit. 03:48
chromatic I'd like to get it out of my head and into code too. It's partly there. I'll push on it to make it a priority. 03:49
cotto *to commit to
Thanks!
I thought I had the callgrind convertor working, but I just realized that one of my assumptions was broken.
chromatic Oh> 03:50
?
cotto just a detail that means a moderate amount of rewriting. nothing fundamental 03:51
chromatic Do we have sufficient information for the transformation?
cotto Yup.
chromatic Excellent.
cotto mksig.org/parrot/callgrind_parrot.png 03:54
chromatic That's the ticket. 03:55
nopaste "cotto" at 74.61.2.46 pasted "the pir used to generate the above screenshot" (58 lines) at nopaste.snit.ch/17465
cotto Yup. Just need to get the numbers right.
bacek_at_work cotto++ # yay! profiling!
chromatic Are they not right? 03:56
03:56 dukeleto joined
cotto The percentages are wrong. 03:57
chromatic The call chains look right. 03:58
cotto Yeah. I just goofed some cost calculations. 03:59
I'm excited.
04:02 mj41_ joined 04:07 dukeleto joined 04:19 theory joined
cotto Yay! It works correctly now! 04:29
Now all I have to do is get the code to the point where I'm not embarrassed for people to see it.
bacek_at_work cotto: it compiles? Ship it! 04:33
wayland76 Nonono, he's got to make the code also appear like an ASCII graphic of a spiral :) 04:36
bacek_at_work Dolphin! RSA dolphin! :) 04:38
cotto My current code hijacks the slow runloop, so committing it probably wouldn't be a good idea. 04:41
bacek_at_work cotto: is it in branch? 04:47
ship it! :)
bacek_at_work departing to next meeting...
cotto bacek_at_work, no branch atm. I'm waiting for pluggable_runcore to be ready. 04:50
dukeleto i am trying to make "eval" work in parrot_debugger. halp? 04:56
dalek TT #901 created by dukeleto++: eval is broken in parrot_debugger 05:02
chromatic You could check it into the branch as a separate runcore and I'll refactor it in place, if you like.
I should have things ready soon though. 05:04
cotto That sounds like a good idea. 05:06
chromatic No real preference here. 05:07
cotto chromatic, at what point did you read through all the core PMCs? 05:11
eternaleye Coke: git commit aborts if the commit message being edited has no non-comment non-whitespace text 05:13
chromatic Christmas 2007, I think. 05:15
dukeleto is there a document that describes what parrot commit messages should look like? 05:16

eternaleye chromatic: BTW, nice ModernPerl post. I really like the posts you make there, keep it up! 05:20
dukeleto chromatic: many people use [TT #] and [cage] as well. or [branchname]. just wondering if there was a canonical description somewhere
eternaleye is hoping for modernization of P5 to become the norm

NotFound hi 07:23
purl bonjour, NotFound.
07:26 HG` joined
cotto Nice. Some dude's car alarm just spend the last 3 minutes going off. 08:32
I imagine he's not happy about having that happen at 0130. 08:33
dukeleto probably not
cotto: i just made some small tweaks to parrot_debugger as well as adding some tests, a quick look over from you would be nice, if you can spare a few minutes 08:35
dalek rrot: r40395 | dukeleto++ | trunk (3 files):
[parrot_debugger] Improve error checking of eval, add tests and untodo-ify tests relating to TT#889
 08:36
NotFound dukeleto: see my comment on TT #901
dukeleto NotFound: interesting 08:37
i saw that ticket before, but totally forgot about it 08:38
NotFound: shall I get rid of PDB_compile, or is that still up in the air? 08:39
NotFound dukeleto: I'd like to hear some comments before. I'll ask on parrotsketch 08:40
dukeleto NotFound: sounds good
NotFound: can eval be implemented with some other compiler that is working?
or does that still need to be written? 08:41
NotFound dukeleto: I'm not sure that regularly compiling is a good idea in current parrot state. For example, if you eval I0 = 0, calling a compiled sub doesn't anything useful. 08:42
cotto dukeleto, I'd be glad to look over your changes, but why me? 08:43
dukeleto cotto: they are very basic, mostly just looking for a "code review" to make sure I am not doing something against the grain. it was r40395 :) 08:44
so if your tests pass in r40395, that is the majority of it 08:45
NotFound: i guess what I am after is, what is the simplest possible implementation for a working eval in parrot_debugger ? 08:46
NotFound dukeleto: If I had an idea about that, I've implemented it ;)
dukeleto NotFound: should eval look at the AST of the given code to determine if it should be compiled? does that even make sense? 08:47
NotFound: isn't there an Eval PMC? 08:49
NotFound dukeleto: What AST?
purl i guess AST is Abstract Syntax Tree or Atlantic Standard Time or Andrew S. Tanenbaum
cotto dukeleto, I don't trust my evaluative skills at 0150. I'll take a look at it tomorrow morning. 08:50
dukeleto NotFound: one could build one for the given command, no? perhaps my rakudo-land thinking is getting me in trouble here 08:51
cotto: sounds good to me. I am about to hit the sack as well
NotFound: I don't think I understand all the parameters of the problem yet, so I will invariably be asking some really dumb questions
NotFound dukeleto: no one fully understand parrot debugger or how to improve it. That's the reason it's so stalled. 08:53
IMO
chromatic One problem is that the PIR compiler is essentially IMCC, which has no connection to PCT/NQP.
There *is* an AST, but not in the PCT sense, and not introspectable from PIR. 08:54
... without the use of some grotty NCI that no one should write.
dukeleto NotFound: that is at least comforting :) I must say, it took me 2 weeks of reading the perl 5 debugger source to make a one line fix, while I have been able to write over 30 tests and fix a few bugs in the parrot_debugger in a few days. That has gotta say something about it
NotFound dukeleto: be content you don't looked at it before I doed some cleaning and improvements some monts ago ;) 08:55
chromatic For one thing, I'm not putting my PhD in evilology to good use.
dukeleto NotFound: touchƩ
chromatic: do you have any ideas about implementing PDB_eval in something close to Parrot's current state? or will it require some large changes? 08:58
nopaste "mikehh" at 90.208.192.110 pasted "PATCH for codetest failures in r40394" (26 lines) at nopaste.snit.ch/17466
chromatic We'd have to get a self-hosted PIR compiler working better first. 08:59
That's not likely to happen in the next couple of months.
NotFound dukeleto: I think that the most practical way in the current state is to forget fully eval and implement things like assigning values to registers. 09:00
09:00 lnostdal joined
mikehh src/gc/mark_sweep,c fails two subtests in t/codingstd/c_parens.t - if( and space before trailing parems 09:00
dukeleto chromatic: ok, good to know. i will divert my attention elsewhere until I have the tuits to attack it
NotFound: that sounds like something I could accomplish 09:01
cotto chromatic, this may be a bad idea that I'm too tired to filter out, but what if instead of having a profiling runcore, we had hooks in the right places so that we could profile with any runcore?
NotFound dukeleto: will be useful feature IMO
dukeleto NotFound: do you have a preference for the debugger command name used to assign registers? perhaps 'assign' ? which could have the useful one character "a" as a shortcut
NotFound dukeleto: just pick any name and document it as 'experimental' in DEPRECATED 09:02
dukeleto something like: (pdb) a I0 42
NotFound dukeleto: looks good 09:04
09:04 AndyA joined
dukeleto NotFound: sounds good, I will start a-hackin' on that 09:04
NotFound In fact the full parrot_debugger is experimental, but some parts are more experimental than others ;) 09:05
chromatic cotto, that sounds like how DTrace works. How would that work here though? 09:07
cotto I'll need to think if it could work. 09:08
chromatic mikehh thanks, applied. 09:09
Have you sent in a CLA, by the way?
cotto good night
NotFound dukeleto: BTW your last commit looks good and builds fine
dalek rrot: r40396 | chromatic++ | trunk (2 files):

 09:10
dukeleto NotFound: good to hear, thanks!
mikehh chromatic: still got to get my printer working - I was hoping to send it today or tomorrow
chromatic Okay. I want to get you a commit bit so you can fix these things directly. You know what you're doing, you know the lecture about not breaking things, so on and so forth. 09:11
dukeleto i smell fresh blood ;) 09:12
NotFound mikehh: you can go to Lisbon and give it by hand to somenone ;)
moritz let's summon the piranhas :-)
NotFound: then it still needs to be printed :)
chromatic I give him a week before he slaps Whiteknight's fingers for consistently missing that space between 'if' and '('. 09:13
moritz hah, if Whiteknight wants to write Perl 6 he can't write 'if(' anyway 09:16
because that's parsed as sub call
and if there's a { after 'if(...)' it's parsed as a syntax error :-)
09:17 wayland76 joined
chromatic Our rules aren't arbitrary. They're this way for a reason! 09:17
That reason *is* to pick on Whiteknight, but that makes it no less a reason. 09:18
NotFound I'm considering writing a language whose reserved words are in klingon characters, and user names in Tolkien's runes. That way they never conflict.
chromatic And Guido thought he had it right with Python. 09:19
mikehh aion't no strict in Python 09:21
s/aoin't/ain't/
whatever
wayland76 s/ain't/There is/ 09:24
NotFound: You could even do function names in runes, and variables in greek letters 09:25
mikehh just make them in the appropriate unicode codespace - different ones of course 09:26
moritz
.oO( double width latin characters for keywords, normal latin characters for user defined stuff )
 09:27
NotFound wayland76: greek letter gives less geek points than klingon ones. 09:30
mikehh a totally DWIMmy input for the coder 09:31
wayland76 NotFound: Maybe, but more alphabets gives more Unicode geek points :)
moritz: Don't be so evil :) 09:32
NotFound And as a bonus, you can do talks about the language in Star Trek conventions.
wayland76 Oh yeah, throw in Hebrew too.
Then you could do your talks at both Star Trek and Bible conventions :) 09:33
moritz rtl scripts embedded in ltr scripts - now we're approaching real evil
wayland76 Ī„Ī±Ļ…! Ī‘Ī»Ī» ĪŗĪ¹Ī½Ī“Ļƒ ĪæĻ† כומ ׳ק בםוךג ישהק ׳ןאי איןד, ĪØĪ±Ī½Ā“Ļ„ Ļ‚Īµ 09:34
chromatic That's an interesting way to transition between potentially ambiguous states in the parser.
wayland76 Hmm. My IRC client seems to have trouble with it :)
moritz recognises one character in there, and is happy
wayland76 Actually, it's 50% Greek, 50% Hebrew
NotFound Looks good, even if slightly funny, here. 09:35
wayland76 And 100% looking at the english letters on my keys
(So I should've said 50% greek letters, 50% hebrew letters, but not actual Greek or Hebrew)
mokurai wayland76: Do you have the fonts installed? 09:36
NotFound Use hebrew and greek for operators, and the language starts to looks like an algebra book.
wayland76 My actual Greek is limited to saying this like "Ī™Ļ‡ĪøĪæĻ‚ Ļ„ĪµĪŗĪ½ĪæĪ½" (fish technology or something)
mokurai It's been done. APL.
wayland76 No, use APL for the operators :)
There's an APL section in Unicode
mokurai Actually, the APL characters are scattered over six blocks. 09:37
wayland76 And it's important not to confuse "APL Symbol alpha" with "Greek letter alpha" (they look identical)
mokurai Joey Tuttle made an APL font, and I redid it in Unicode.
NotFound Let's use both for completely different operations.
wayland76 mokurai: Yeah, I knew they weren't all together. I was using "Unicode" in the broadest possible sense
chromatic ichthos teknon, that's basically "Fish Technology"
moritz fishing technologoy? :-) 09:38
09:38 payload joined
mokurai Actually, all you have to do is encode UnLambda in 0O1l, or even better in WhiteSpace. 09:38
chromatic I don't *think* ichthos can decline to gerund form, but I don't know my Greek declensions. 09:39
mokurai Epi tes dotheisis eutheias peperasmene, trigonon isopleuron sustesasthai.
wayland76 I have two keyboards, one for English, and one for Greek/Hebrew/APL :)
moritz whitespace shouldn't be a programming language, it should be a transport encoding format :-)
then I could write Perl 6 in whitespace
mokurai A gerund is in a verb conjugation, not a noun declension. 09:40
chromatic Yes, but ichthos is not a verb.
mokurai Right, so it doesn't have a gerund. 09:41
NotFound moritz: in fact it is, but it encodes only brainfuck.
wayland76 Shouldn't "fish" in "fish technology" be in the genitive? 09:42
mokurai No, that would be technology that fish use.
chromatic For "decline to" read "take the root of, verbify it, then conjugate"... sort of a linguist pun. 09:43
Like most linguist puns, it suffers everywhere but the mind of the creator.
mokurai Oh, well, in that case, we'll quantify it instead. Take the square root of the probability in conjugate phase space, and...
There's definitely something fishy about that. 09:44
NotFound We can steal a thing from brainfuck for our brand new language: everything written in comprehensible characters is a comment.
wayland76 Ok, so what is "cat technology"? I mean, is it technology that cats use, or something else? :)
mokurai LOL 09:45
mikehh linguist puns? linguist is redundant
wayland76 LOLfish?
chromatic Technology that cats ignore, except to sleep on.
or shed on
or knock off of horizontal surfaces onto lower horizontal surfaces

purl dcommit is very pick =P
Patterner either t/compilers/pge/pge_examples takes a long long time or it hung...
Coke cono; last time I did that, my 4 'git commit's that I had done locally wound up as a single commit to svn when dcommit'ting. 13:57
cono: Probably because I didn't do the right then when I did 'git commit'.
but I'm a git-newbie.
cono did not catch "separate" :D
Coke (if I run git-log, I only see one commit, but I ran 'git commit' multiple times)
cono Coke: git dcommit rebased your commits 13:59
Patterner How long should t/compilers/pge/pge_examples_2.pir run?

chromatic Go ahead.
davidfetter given my awful lack of C skills, i'd like to do something to help get "sandboxing" in. i also have limited funds 22:01
22:01 bacek joined
davidfetter what i do have is a scary pointy-haired ability to inspire people to write code if i can get them something for it 22:01
Tene I've got an empty bottle I can put up for it. 22:02
davidfetter so what's to do about getting parrot foundation funds?
Tene and a plastic fork (slightly used).
chromatic Funds *from* the PaFo or funds *to* the PaFo?
davidfetter Tene, these are intensely helpful things when sandboxes are concerned
chromatic Choose your preposition wisely.
davidfetter from
chromatic Unfortunately, first PaFo needs *to* get funds.
However, sandboxing could use a really good set of use cases. 22:03
If you can help drive a specification, we can divvy it up into tasks.
davidfetter i'm not quite sure i get what you mean by use cases. i guess i figured those were pretty obvious: web browser, mobile device, execution environments (postgresql, e.g.) that can't have attached machines just arbitrarily doing stuff that they control 22:13
chromatic We need to figure out what's allowed and what's forbidden.
What will people do with them?
What should be allowed and where and what should be forbidden? 22:14
What resources do they have?
Tene how do these vary between your use cases?
how should the embedding program be able to choose what's available? 22:15
chromatic Or is it someone else's responsibility?
davidfetter thanks! 22:17
chromatic Crypto? 22:18
purl Cryptography is about making the cost of retrieving information higher than the value of the information itself. or not necessarily the value, but perhaps the computational projected power (modulo advances)
davidfetter hrm. i hadn't really thought too much about code obfuscation as part of a sandbox 22:20
Whiteknight chromatic: making the PObj allocator lazy is turning out to be significantly less easy then the little fixed-size allocator was
davidfetter or as part of anything else, really. it's pretty much a misfeature
chromatic How so? 22:21

GeJ G'Day bacek 23:10
bacek G'day GeJ, howizgoin?
GeJ Well, nightmare-ish. Trying to get "inspiration" from a barely-competent-monkey-coded C# app to make a bridge between a Win32 app to a barely-competent-monkey-coded PHP site. 23:13
bacek yak... 23:14
GeJ The only good thing about this mess is that I was able to pick the implementation language.
bacek Which version of C#?
eternaleye davidfetter: 'crypto' is a superset of (encryption( public & private key), signing, and hashing). It can also include such things as e-cash algorithms. None of the things fitting under the 'crypto' header have anything to do with code obfu - that's more a 'security by obscurity' thing (and security by obscurity is largely considered worthless) 23:15
davidfetter drafts eternaleye do do the crypto part of the sandbox spec 23:16
GeJ bacek: No idea. I'm not fluent enough in C# to tell.
eternaleye davidfetter: I don't know crypto well enough to code it - plus, the first rule of crypto is 'don't roll your own' 23:17
davidfetter eternaleye, i'm not talking about coding it. specifying it :) 23:18
japhb eternaleye, davidfetter: For the actual crypto primitives, I have suggested we rely on a common library such as OpenSSL. But that still leaves the problem of using those primitives properly ....
eternaleye davidfetter: For sandboxing, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capability-based_security is probably a good place to start - separate out functionality into capabilities (potentially a tree - like, IO might be a capability, with subcaps for 'network' 'file' and 'IPC') 23:19
davidfetter: 'don't roll your own' usually applies to both the spec and the implementation - if you roll your own spec, you are _forced_ to roll your own implementation 23:20
japhb And then there's the question of being up to date with current events in the crypto world (SHA-128 is *stronger* than SHA-256, because the latter has a horrid key schedule. But most people would use SHA-256 because of the rule of thumb to use more bits for more security ...)
23:20 donaldh joined
eternaleye japhb: No worries, SHA-3 should be done soon enough for us! ;P 23:21
japhb heh
davidfetter eternaleye, perhaps "spec" is too, um, specific. there needs to be some kind of target 23:22
japhb is hoping Schneier's chin ... er, I mean, Skein ... wins.
bacek $dayjob time.
davidfetter signed apps, auth of various kind...
bacek see you
davidfetter l8r bacek
so, "there should be a facility for signing apps," 23:23
chromatic Yes.
davidfetter or "there needs to be a capability-based system for sandboxing"
eternaleye japhb: Keccac and GrĆøstl are nice (though, if the latter becomes SHA-3, people with US keyboards will weep) 23:24
japhb heh
eternaleye japhb: I agree though, skein is really cool
I'd suggest that the 'signing apps' thing be web-of-trust based - it fits much better with Open-Source, decentralized mechanics than a CA system does. Although, I may be biased due to it fitting really well with :auth<CPAN:foobar> 23:25
japhb: I assume from the 'chin' comment you've seen the Bruce Schneier Facts site? ;D 23:26
japhb nodnod 23:27
And seriously, I'd put much more faith in his chin than my crypto skills when it comes to protecting my data. ;-)
eternaleye Well, the first thing for a caps-based security system would probably be to set up a really rough outline blocking potentially unsafe stuff - maybe a list of PMCs that are 'known safe' and the rest are considered insecure by default? after that we could classify the type of control they give the user, classify the PMCs, and then classify the individual VTABLE methods they have. Default-deny is probably the best way to go about 23:29
it
After that, maybe we can implementsome form of tainting system. Together, those would be pretty powerful - block classes of functionality, and ensure non-manipulable input to potentially insecure code 23:31
