whiteknight I really need to talk to jnthn about that soon 00:02
tcurtis is slightly amused by how fervently DeRemer disclaims the practical importance of fully general LALR(k) parsing in his dissertation.
whiteknight tcurtis: link? 00:03
tcurtis whiteknight: computer-refuge.org/bitsavers/pdf/m...TR-065.pdf
whiteknight oh wow. Hah. I love reading papers this old 00:04
some of the best papers I ever read were from Dijkstra
tcurtis whiteknight: In Chapter 3 and 4 he develops parsing techniques for LR(0) and SLR(k) parsers, and in Chapter 5 he generalizes to LALR(k) and general LR(k) (I think). 00:05
whiteknight okay, cool
so this is definitely something I want to read
I need to pull out my dragon book too, methinks
sorear in a lot of real world cases languages are designed by people who understand parsing technology
you need a LALR(1) parser if you want to parse a language designed by a yacc user 00:06
whiteknight LALR(1) parsers have a lot of benefits
not the least of which is quick failure
that is something easily overlooked 00:09
tcurtis: oh, it's 219 pages. Will take me some time to read 00:10
I am excited about the prospect of LALR on Parrot 00:16
I was the one who suggested the topic in the first place
all we need now is a good tokenizing library for the frontend 00:17

Beginning of an M0 assembler in Perl 5

After having an M0 mindmeld with cotto++, we decided that the dynop implementation of M0 has served us well, but development should not continue further. It greatly helped us define the M0 spec, but the current impedance mismatch of having to use M0 from PIR is now blocking us from completing the spec.
This is an M0 prototype that we plan on throwing away, but which will help us improve the spec further. There will be an assembler, which eats M0 source code and spews out bytecode as binary data, and then an M0 interpreter which actually executes the bytecode.
This prototype aims to have a structure much like our final M0 implementation, but implemented in Perl 5 for maximum whipupitude.
Also, the tests from this implementation will serve as the "M0 spec tests" and will be quite useful for any implementation of M0.

plobsing whiteknight: pong 15:11
whiteknight plobsing: I'm still debugging Parrot-Instrument. 15:12
plobsing: the parent interp creates a child interp and the two call methods on each other
when I come back from a sequence of methods, the interp->code has some changes. The number of ops has changed, op_func_table and op_info_table too
are those kinds of changes acceptable? 15:13
plobsing not within the same sub
but in general, those things do change a lot
whiteknight okay. I'm in an NCI method, which calls a method in the child interp, which in turn causes recursive calls to the parent interp
so inside that NCI method, I shouldn't be seeing changes to the oplibs? 15:14
plobsing um, I'm not sure where the switch_to_cs() happens
within an NCI those don't really matter 15:15
whiteknight when I return from the NCI and go back to the runloop, it executes a weird op and has weirdness 15:16
that is, it executes a load_language op, which appears nowhere in the test program
and load_language is not the next op in the top-level sub
so somewhere either the bytecode is changing from under us, or the way we interpret it is changing
plobsing or we're failing to switch code segments on the return 15:18
whiteknight interp->ctx was being changed, but I restored it and still have the problem
interp->code and interp->current_pf are the same before and after the call
plobsing yeah, neither of those really matter much
whiteknight although the contents of interp->code that I mentioned were different
plobsing that is, current_pf and ctx. they shouldn't really be playing in to this problem 15:19
you can set data watchpoints in gdb. that might be informative 15:20
whiteknight At first I was worried that interp->ctx changing would change the pc when we got back up to the runloop. It doesn't
I've set up a few of them. There are a hell of a lot of recursive calls though 15:21
so when I get back to the runloop, is it a problem that interp->code->op_func_table and interp->code->op_info_table are completely different values? 15:24
plobsing well, yes. that's how we interpret bytecode 15:25
whiteknight that's what I figured 15:30
so should I try to save and restore those fields, or should I try to figure out where they are being modified?
15:31 kid51 joined
plobsing I'd say you should try to figure out who is responsible for resetting those fields after a call and find out why they are not being reset 15:31
whiteknight okay 15:33

whiteknight cotto does not blog nearly enough! 19:04
cotto whiteknight, it's to cancel you out 19:05
whiteknight I'll gladly cut back if it opens more reparrot
cotto ;)
dukeleto whiteknight: i read all your concurrency blog posts. I can haz cookie?
whiteknight dukeleto: I didn't even read them all! I have cookies, will send
dukeleto whiteknight: i agree with pretty much all of it. Let's ship it.
whiteknight: we need to fill out the M0 spec with respect to concurrency stuff 19:06
cotto yup. That's one of three remaining known holes.
dukeleto whiteknight: do you forsee M0 needing concurrency opcodes? What do they look like?
whiteknight okay, that's part of the reason why I wanted to put those posts out there in the first place
dukeleto whiteknight: i assume we may need a few, but don't quite know what they look like
whiteknight dukeleto: that's just the thing, I suspect 99% of the concurrency stuff I talked about can be implemented in terms of PMCs and methods 19:07
The only opcode I really think we need is "share" to share read-only data between threads
and really, that opcode will be mostly a convenience over PMC methods and vtables 19:08
cotto whiteknight, what do you view the mechanism for message passing looking like? 19:10
19:10 soh_cah_toa joined
dukeleto whiteknight: M0 doesn't know what a PMC is 19:10
cotto ctrl-z
whiteknight cotto: from the PIR level, I suggest a method call on the thread: thread.send_message(msg)
dukeleto: whatever mechanism is used to instantiate "things" and do "stuff" on them is what threading requires 19:11
dukeleto: whatever PIR methods turn into in M0 world is what we need
I do assume objects and methods will still be possible, in some fashion

dukeleto whiteknight: M0 basically indexes into blobs of memory
whiteknight: it may be that no concurrency M0 ops are needed
whiteknight dukeleto: I don't really care what the mechanism is. At some level, we have methods, right? 19:13
cotto It'll be a hard sell otherwise.
whiteknight dukeleto: As for M0 ops, I don't suspect we need anything special
dukeleto whiteknight: at the lowest level, what does message passing look like?
whiteknight We will need a wrapper API for threads (not for greenthreads), but that should be able to be called in the same way other API calls look like
dukeleto: passing a message looks like thread.mailbox.push(share(msg)) 19:14
the thread mailbox will just be a queue like RPA
share creates a new proxy object
so thread.mailbox.push(new ShareProxy(msg)) 19:15
or maybe thread.mailbox.push(new ShareProxy(thread, this_thread, msg))
but nothing special or complicated. Attribute lookups, method calls, object instantiation
cotto Does there need to be something preventing data from being shared between threads apart from convention? 19:16
i.e. poking into another object's guts is possible, but is a Bad Idea apart from via message passing
dukeleto whiteknight: can't sharing just be the default? what happens if we assume everything is shared by default? 19:17
whiteknight dukeleto: depends what you mean by "sharing". Read-only sharing poses no real problems whatsoever 19:18
read-write sharing creates the potential for data corruption, so we need to have STM and/or locks and other nonsense
dukeleto whiteknight: sure. so read-only sharing is default. So you are talking about "sharing" in the "you can write to this" sense ?
whiteknight: ah, ok. So sharing is for read-write
whiteknight dukeleto: in my system, "sharing" means read-only proxies and using messages to perform cross-thread updates 19:19
you can't write directly to another threads data
you can read it, because there's no reason to restrict that
dukeleto whiteknight: and I am not sure we even need an op for "share", since it really boils down to accessing memory and looking up the metadata about if that data is writable by the current thread/task
whiteknight: does that make sense?
whiteknight dukeleto: What the "share" opcode does in my imagination is to create a read-only proxy, and sends the proxy to the new thread in place of the original data 19:20
the proxy allows direct reads, but uses messages to send updates
19:20 bubaflub left
whiteknight so all "share" does is create that proxy 19:20
dukeleto whiteknight: sure, but "share" can be written in M0, M0 does not need an opcode to represent it. methinks, anyway.
whiteknight right, share is a PIR-level op. 19:21
basically, it's a combination of hll-map-lookup and new
so nothing fancy
at the M0 level, I think we do not need any special concurrency-related ops
dukeleto whiteknight: sweet. This is good. The spec is much closer to complete than we thought.
whiteknight that is, assuming we can call arbitrary API functions written in C
dukeleto whiteknight: M0 has FFI, so yes. 19:22
whiteknight so, we all win. I'll get the champagne
dukeleto whiteknight: awesome. I am going to get some fresh air to brood upon these matters.
whiteknight okay, please do
I'm glad to be finally talking about concurrency in a real way 19:23
dukeleto is excited

19:35 mj41 joined
benabik A little late to the conversation, but if we want to do proper locking we'll need an atomic test-and-set or similar op. 19:37
19:37 cotto left
jnthn__ Wasn't there some paper that said that you can build all concurrency stuff out of atomic compare and swap? 19:38
er, concurrency control mechanisms, I mean. :)
19:39 ambs left
benabik jnthn__: I think so. It's been a while since my OS classes, but IIRC you need a single check-and-alter op for something like 95% of concurrency control. Intel went with Test-and-set, but I think test and swap is a little more versitile. 19:40
whiteknight for locking, we might want something like that yes. But then again, we only need locking if we allow cross-thread data writing
19:40 Coke left
jnthn__ whiteknight: You can build a LOAD of lock-free data structures out of CAS. 19:42
whiteknight true
jnthn__ does those now and then 19:43
whiteknight a CAS op might be useful
any M0 op is going to be atomic as far as we are concerned, because tasks only switch between ops, and messages are just tasks
benabik Even if PIR doesn't cross the threads, M0 might end up needing to do coordination across threads like that to support things like the mailboxes. 19:44
whiteknight mailboxes are the one issue I've been glossing over
mailboxes need to be thread-safe
but if we follow message passing as the one and only communication mechanism, nothing else needs it
19:45 Coke joined 19:49 bubaflub joined 19:51 mikehh left 19:54 Coke left 19:55 Coke joined 19:56 bluescreen left, bluescreen joined
benabik Probably better to have a nice CAS op for M0, even if mailboxes are the only official usage of it exposed to anyone above. 19:57
whiteknight like I said, all M0 ops will be essentially atomic, so we can have whatever we want 19:58
CAS is as good a choice as any

aloha OK. I'll deliver the message.
lucian whiteknight: uh, you might not need to care about the thread-safety of the mailboxes 20:08
there are ready-made implementations, from signals to ampq
whiteknight that's fine too. We could easily create a PMC wrapper over an existing implementation 20:09

soh_cah_toa i just loaded it w/ 'file' after already in gdb
actually that worked 23:33
i spoke too soon
anyway, i can't 'break panic_failed_allocation' b/c it says its undefined
plobsing_ you'll need to run it once so gdb loads the shared lib where the function resides 23:39
soh_cah_toa yup, there we go 23:40
alright, i'm at panic_failed_allocation
plobsing_ bt will give you a backtrace 23:41
nopaste "soh_cah_toa" at 192.168.1.3 pasted "Backtrace at panic_failed_allocation()" (65 lines) at nopaste.snit.ch/43086 23:43
plobsing_ sorear: looks like you called it 23:44
sorear: how much memory do you have on that system?
er soh_cah_toa: ^^^^ 23:45
soh_cah_toa it's a vm. i gave it 1024 megs
plobsing_ ulimit?
23:45 lucian joined
soh_cah_toa unlimited 23:45
23:46 mikehh joined
plobsing_ what does the memory usage climb to? 23:47
soh_cah_toa how do i get that? 23:48
23:49 lucian_ left
plobsing_ when you are at the breakpoint in gdb, run 'ps aux' in another terminal. 23:51
%MEM, VSZ, and RSS are all somewhat meaningful 23:52
soh_cah_toa alright, h/o
%MEM: 63.7 VSZ: 1034084 RSS: 653348 23:55
soh_cah_toa will be right back 23:58
