cotto build looks good 00:00
well, noisy but not broken
dalek rrot: r45489 | gerd++ | trunk (3 files):
Initial work to generate a PDF file as Parrot book from POD files. The first version has only two chapters from two POD files. It works not on Windows because it use "sed".
 00:06
rrot: r45490 | gerd++ | trunk/MANIFEST:
Update MANIFEST to hold new files
cotto Hmmm. Some tests fail. 00:16
plobsing yeah, looks like a bunch of places are depending on null strings being NULL 00:18
cotto I'm pretty sure that's a bug now.
sounds like it'll be annoying to fix though 00:19
plobsing I already fixed t/op/globals.t
cotto It'd be a good idea to see how some HLLs do with that change. 00:26
plobsing hmmm... good point
I'll start a branch

"Coccinelle is a tool to automatically analyze and rewrite C code."
plobsing cotto: sounds cool, but I've already got fulltest passing (ignoring distro tests currently failing in trunk) 01:52
cotto That doesn't mean you've found all the code that needs patching. ;)

dukeleto 'ello 06:14
bubaflub ello dukeleto. burning the midnight oil? 06:15
sorear chromatic: What do you mean by coalescing constant strings being a "huge memory win"? 06:16
How big is huge?
Are there 100MB of constant strings being created.... somewhere? 06:17
Austin sorear: The PCT stuff makes *lots* of copies of tokens and matching substrings. 06:18
... blah blah ... := PAST::NodeOfSomeKind.new( :node( ~ $/ ) ... )
chromatic I profiled loading Perl 6's all PBC, and 90% of the strings were duplicates. 06:19
sorear chromatic: yeah, but how many strings are there? 50k? 06:21
chromatic Let me check.
plobsing chromatic: can you explain what is involved in Fix freeze/thaw of complex PMCs? 06:22
chromatic Looks like 327,566 strings get thawed from PBC to run "Hello, world!" in Perl 6.
plobsing, pmichaud knows better, but freezing something like a CallSignature PMC which contains other PMCs, or a hash or something. Sometimes that's not reliable. I don't know of a good test case. 06:23
Perhaps Jonathan or someone else in #perl6 knows what they need more.
06:24 fperrad_ joined
Austin sorear: Std.pm is 121k, with 22k words. 06:27
plobsing chromatic: regarding using a HoS for config, I've got Hash freeze/thaw working for more types including String => String, now the only blocker is a representation for Undef 06:28
chromatic The more relevant question is "How many unique words are there in the generated PIR?"
I saw that, that looks very good.
plobsing when I got 'null $Sx' more or less working, I saw a 1/6 reduction in size on the fpmc 06:29
chromatic I wonder if that'd work on other PBCs. 06:36
dukeleto i am learning how to abuse parrot strings
i am using Parrot_str_to_cstring to get a C string representation of a Parrot_String, but I want to return that to Postgres. do i just need to make a copy of the value of the string and then call Parrot_str_free_cstring on the original ? 06:39
or is it more complicated?
chromatic *Something* has to free the return value of Parrot_str_free_cstring(). Parrot won't do it for you automatically. 06:41
sorear str_to_cstring just returns a malloc-ish allocated value 06:42
blizkost mixes it freely with mem_sys_free
(blizkost probably needs to be fixed here, but it works fine for now)
chromatic: Aha, so string uniqing is not so much a runtime memory issue as a startup time issue. 06:43
06:43 allison joined
allison dukeleto: how do I view the full text of a soc proposal? 06:46
chromatic Yes and no; the fewer strings allocated overall the fewer the GC has to trace/sweep.
dukeleto strcpy segfaults when I try to copy the string that str_to_string gives me 06:47
chromatic Besides that, if Parrot's already interned one of those strings, anything that tries to allocate one of them at runtime won't do anything other than look it up in the cache.
dukeleto allison: you should be able to login at socghop.appspot.com/
allison dukeleto: yah, done that
dukeleto: but it only shows me a spreadsheet of titles and proposers
dukeleto: no descriptions 06:48
dukeleto allison: i am looking at it now
chromatic Maybe you're not a registered mentor, allison? For some reason I'm not either. 06:49
dukeleto allison: it used to work that clicking on the row brought you to the full proposal 06:50
chromatic: you should be a registered mentor
chromatic I signed up, but then someone sent me a new registration and I wandered off and closed my browser eventually so I have no idea.
allison dukeleto: (I also can't vote or add myself as a mentor to a proposal)
dukeleto i think melange is hosed right now 06:51
i can't seem to click on any rows of the admin pages
i think the overload of the student deadline today probably has it hosed
allison chromatic: I know I'm registered as a mentor, because the menu gives me the option to "Resign as Mentor"
dukeleto: that makes sense, I'll try again later 06:52
dukeleto allison: if the problem persists, let me know
allison dukeleto: (some of the students email their proposals to parrot-dev, but not all)
dukeleto: will do, thanks
dukeleto allison: yes. i think we got at least 5 or 6 parrot proposals 06:53
cotto Wow. wtg melange
We have 7 Parrot-specific proposals.
dukeleto i am asking about it in #gsoc on freenode 06:54
cotto Yeah. This is a bad time for Melange to be stupid. 06:55
chromatic Maybe Ken Mauer wrote it.
dukeleto evidently this is a known bug in melange 06:58
cotto I'd hope some would notice it. 06:59
dukeleto evidently the direct link can be URL-hacked
hopefully they will fix it soon. i doubt it is a priority though 07:01
back to my abuse of Parrot strings
trying to returns strings from Parrot back to Postgres has left a lot of core files on my filesystem 07:02
should I be using _COW functions?
chromatic That depends on how you're returning them and what you're doing with them. 07:03
dukeleto chromatic: github.com/leto/plparrot/commit/4a0...783e17dbca 07:05
chromatic You shouldn't need the strcpy. 07:06
dukeleto chromatic: i didn't think so. it was a last ditch.
chromatic: but i just realized i defined copy incorrectly 07:07
chromatic: it segfaults in a memcpy deep in postgres core if I don't strcpy
chromatic That I can't explain. It's just a malloced string. 07:08
dukeleto chromatic: what do I do about free'ing the cstring ? 07:10
chromatic: i need to return a copy of it to Postgres, which never "returns" 07:11
chromatic: none of that stuff seems to have tests 07:12
chromatic Something has to free that string. If you strcpy() a string and send it to Postgres, Postgres has to free it too.
dukeleto hmmm. i guess i need to see how the other PL's do this 07:15
chromatic Parrot_str_to_cstring() returns a malloced, NULL-terminated C string. There's nothing special about that. 07:17
dukeleto PL/Perl uses SvPV(x, PL_na) and then returns that to Postgres, without free'ing 07:18
chromatic SvPV returns a pointer to an allocated string. 07:19
sorear SvPV returns a pointer directly into the Perl5 allocated string object
chromatic No copy there.
sorear it will become invalid if the string is modified in any way that could lengthen it or add non-8-bit characters
07:20 szabgabx joined
sorear possibly relevant: all perl5 scalars which are dual-use become dualvars. $x = 2; print $x; # $x now has a valid string pointer, which is every bit as authoritative as the integer value 07:21
dukeleto i think there is some PG magic sausage that I am not cooking correctly 07:22
chromatic Does print really set POK? do_print() checks IOK. 07:23
Devel::Peek says otherwise. 07:24
sorear "$x" then 07:26
I was looking for the simplest example of a stringifying function
dukeleto i think the parrot side of things is OK, and I am wading through a mucky swamp of Postgres right now. Not out of the woods yet 07:27
chromatic I just wrote a section on coercions for Modern Perl, and I hoped I had the automatic dualvars stuff right. 07:28

16:09 Whiteknight joined
darbelo That... didn't go well for coretest. 16:18
We need to explain to our strings that when they don't have a buffer faking it is a bad idea. 16:19
Whiteknight our strings are too stupid to explain things to them 16:21

Whiteknight nice 16:31
I read camden and I thought you were near me 16:34
but, no such luck 16:35
darbelo Say, how many proposals did TFP get in the end? 16:43
tcurtis Afraid not, Whiteknight. 16:44
allison darbelo: looks like 23
Whiteknight darbelo, 24
allison darbelo: but we won't know how many we'll be funded for until next week 16:45
darbelo: usually around 8
Whiteknight some of the best propoals were for parrot, I think 16:46
allison Whiteknight: agreed
Whiteknight: but, we're only 7 of the total proposals 16:47
Whiteknight true
it will be heartbreaking if we have to say no to some of these
cotto Are we planning on having PaFo as a separate org next year?
darbelo It's good to hear that parrot has the best proposals, but kind of sad for the rest of the perl community.
cotto There are some good-looking perl and Rakudo proposals too. 16:48

darbelo Whiteknight: Do you know why is the STRING structure a superset of the Buffer one? 18:03
chromatic Uniformity of treatment in the GC, I thought. 18:05
Whiteknight darbelo: everything gets cast to a Buffer in the GC, so we can access the flags pointer
cotto tcurtis, that's the best idea
It's nice that proposals are clickable again. 18:06
darbelo Ok. Then strings that lack a backing buffer shouldn't fake one, right? 18:07
mikehh All tests PASS (pre/post-config, make corevm/make coretest, smoke (#33107), fulltest) at r45538 - Ubuntu 10.04 beta i386 (g++ with --optimize)
chromatic Right. 18:10
darbelo That might require some work. I just made external strings set their _bufstart pointyer to NULL and a number of places went kaboom. 18:13
Biggest one was freeze/thaw, since it assumed that casting a STRING into a Buffer was a valid conversion strategy. 18:15
18:18 iblechbot joined 18:19 tcurtis left, tcurtis joined
tcurtis Coke: just noticed the message(mostly because I didn't know how to check it). That's a good point. On a related note, a PAST optimization framework should probably include a way to disable expensive optimizations for eval()(although TCO should probably always be applied) and similar situations where the time saved by the optimizations might be less than the time spent applying them. 18:29
chromatic Agreed.
Whiteknight tcurtis: have you seen the optimization system used by LLVM?
each optimization stage is an object, and they get added in explicitly 18:30
tcurtis I haven't personally used it, but I have looked at it a little and was planning to look at it more thoroughly for inspiration.
darbelo Whiteknight: We already have a way to insert arbitrary stages into the souce->PAST->POST->PIR translation. 18:32
tcurtis darbelo: more info on this, please? 18:33
darbelo The POD in HHLCompiler has a good explanation fo the basic idea. 18:35
chromatic There's something in HLLCompiler that lets you register... that.
darbelo addstage() IIRC.
chromatic That sounds right. 18:36
darbelo What we don't have is good library for handling PAST trees and transforming them. 18:38
ash_ tcurtis: have you read the dragon book? chapters 6, 8, and 9 would probably be useful for your project, they talk about some nice things that would be worth implementing at the PAST level (things like dead code elimination, constant propagation, etc.) 18:39
chromatic The library and its API is the most important part.
tcurtis ash_: I haven't yet, but if my proposal gets funded, I plan to use some of the initial money to buy some relevant books. The dragon book would probably be a pretty good choice for that. 18:46
Transforming PASTs will be the main focus of the project, but setting up a standard way to choose your optimizations with PCT compilers(from the command line, for example) would also be useful, since unlike LLVM's optimizations, it's working in the middle of the compilation process rather than at the end. 18:56
So you can't just run opt on your bytecode like you can with LLVM. 18:58
Whiteknight I'm looking forward to this project 18:59
chromatic Oh, there's no reason we can't make it possible to optimize and rewrite a PBC.
tcurtis There isn't a way to decompile from PBC to PAST, though, is there? 19:00
chromatic Not currently.
ash_ you could have different levels of optimization for different intermediate representations 19:01
Whiteknight let's start with optimizing PAST 19:02
and then we can shoot for optimizing all sorts of other things
chromatic Sure, I'm suggesting not to rule out anything useful in the future, design-wise.
ash_ is there a point in the PCT where objects become statically typed? 19:04
Whiteknight no 19:05
ash_ ah, well, never mind then

tcurtis I wasn't ruling out PBC optimizations; just pointing out that one can't optimize PBC with PAST optimizations unless we develop a decompiler from PBC back up to PAST.
chromatic Or a PAST-compliant interface to PBC. 19:08
dalek rrot: r45539 | fperrad++ | trunk/tools/dev/pbc_to_exe.pir:
[win32] remove an unneeded slash/backslash conversion
 19:09
tcurtis Wouldn't that essentially still involve creating a PAST from a PBC? 19:11
chromatic It depends on which stages you want to optimize. 19:13

chromatic I'm here, briefly. 22:22
bacek chromatic, any objections about removing 2-args ops? 22:28
chromatic I'm not sure we have to. I want to look at them first. 22:29
bacek set $S0, $S1; chopn $S0, 1; is($S0, $S1)
(This is outline of one of the tests in t/op/string.t) 22:30
After chopn $S0 will be different from $S1
But inplace semantic (and trunk as well) requires to update $S1 22:31
22:32 kid51 joined
chromatic Hm, good point. 22:32
I don't think we have to remove those ops, but that semantic can't stay. 22:37
bacek It will be very confusing from developer POV... 22:39
(And we are missing opportunity to reduce number of ops :)
chromatic Eventually they do have to go. I think we can avoid doing that right now though.
In other words, don't borrow trouble from the future. 22:40
... unless it's too much work to make them behave.
I want to get Parrot compiling and passing most tests first, though.
But first, I must decommute. 22:41
bacek chromatic, it will be much easy to remove them and fix places where they were used. 22:43
(comparing to find all places and fix code to new semantic)

kid51 Do those test results indicate progress? 23:51
bacek kid51, yes. At least it compiles and able to pass quite few of tests :) 23:54
kid51 good news! 23:58
time to get out of the house.
