skids Is there a proxy document/thread/something for the "non-extant" Apocalypse 9? 00:26
Coke You're more likely to find an answer to that on #Perl6 on freenode. 00:28
davidfetter isn't there a #perl6 here?
Coke not that anyone uses, sfaik. 00:29
davidfetter ah
davidfetter saw 1/2 of allison's talk yesterday because a bunch of rude assh^W^Wenthusiastic audience members kept interrupting with irrelevant questions 00:30

skids So anyway the reason I ask is more parrot-centric and an answer from pugs folks probably wouldn't do it... is it the intent that multidimensional (pre-decalred that way) Hashes eventually be implemented by a top-down efficient Trie/DFA/whatnot or will remain nested hashes? 01:08
Coke There is no reason not to have a PMC that does hash that has the internals you mention. 01:09
skids So that would be something of interest to parrot core, not just rakudo, you'd say? 01:10
01:14 AndyA joined
Coke I could see tcl's [dict] using that, yah. 01:14
(I basically just subclassed Hash twice but didn't do anything special for tcl's two hash types; one of them definitely lends itself to that kind of impl 01:15

moritz the 'make spectest' in rakudo does a 'svn up' in t/spec/ 13:29

krumms howdy - any ideas why callmethodcc doesn't seem to be passing in $self here: pastebin.com/d3c73c5e 15:20
oops, old version of the code
there, updated 15:21
pastebin.com/m1d6ad98b
running "parrot sample.pir", I get: too few arguments passed (0) - 1 params expected
at the Person.get_name call 15:22
particle hrmm. lemme think about that. 15:25
meantime, if you use pir-style instead of pasm-style, it just works. 15:26

15:26 skids joined
krumms particle - interesting ... 15:26
particle note: s/print/say/g; use virtual registers ($P0, etc); use pir calling conventions
jhorwitz particle: for the PASM style, wouldn't you need a set_args before calling the method?
particle it's likely you need set_ar... 15:27
krumms LOL
particle hi, jhorwitz!
jhorwitz waves
krumms set_args? *digs through documentation*
particle yes, you need set_args and get_results before your callmethodcc call
krumms ah, I see 15:28
particle in this case there's no results, but will be if you're actually returning anything
pir calling conventions take care of that setup for you
krumms ah nice
just out of curiosity: ".namespace" indicates the default namespace? 15:29
particle yes, it does 15:30
krumms cool. I was wondering about that a little earlier
*sighs* I've really got to stop deciding to mess around with this stuff on weeknights, going to be ruined for work tomorrow 15:31
particle DON'T STOP!
AndyAway oh great what did I screwup in string_primitives?
krumms lol ... but ... my health and well-being?

Andy What a horrid bug I had.
po_boy you tell 'em, Andy! 16:14
Andy I just can't fathom PHP presuming to tell us about how to do things.
Yugo engineers lecturing Mercedes. 16:15
po_boy I suspect that they have mutual opinions. 16:16
or, analogous, or whatever they're called.
that is, they think they have a mercedes, too. 16:17
Andy Yes, but they don't.
THEY DON'T HAVE NAMESPACES FOR GOD'S SAKE. 16:18
po_boy oh, minor niggles.
but they have... 16:19
er, wait. nevermind.
Andy A monolithic module structure that requires rebuilding the executable to add functionality?
spinclad reality trumps opinion. worse is not better.
kj Andy: you used to be more forgiving, taking criticism as being constructive criticism. 16:20
Andy There was nothing constructive in his commentary.
kj true. what I meant was: if people didn't seem to understand, you took it positively, by asking: how can I make it more clear? 16:21
16:22 krumms joined
Andy What's to understand? 16:23
Besides, ultimately it's all lip-flaping.

mdiep_ doesn't php 5 have namespaces? 18:10
particle HATER! go away.
Dave :p 18:11
mdiep oh, we can still hate on php. we just need to adapt our hate as php gets new features. :) 18:13
particle this year at yapc::na, mdiep presents "keeping your hate up to date," an interactive session on retooling hatred towards other languages. 18:14
mdiep that'd be a good talk! 18:15
18:19 alvar joined
kj on the other hand, without "other languages" there's not much other use for parrot than Perl 6 18:22
which of course is enough by itself, but still, parrot is 'sold' to be more than that. 18:23
mdiep well just because you hate other languages doesn't mean you're lucky enough to not have to use them 18:24
zev_ so, I asked a little about this before, but I didn't get a definitive answer. are there plans to move the various bits of source code in perl6/src from pir to nqp? perl6? is there something preventing this change? 18:25
kj zev_: nqp is designed to be kept simple
particle zev: yes. some things will stay pir, but eventually we'll be writing rakudo in perl 6
kj oh. that's a different answer :-) 18:26
zev_ kj: yep
particle that is, we'll be writing some runtime components in perl 6
pmichaud zev: things that can be written in perl 6 will likely be written that way
zev_ particle: ok, but are there definitive plans for when that can happen?
pmichaud zev: but some things aren't easily written in perl 6
particle yes, when somebody jiggers the makefile and whatnot to make it happen 18:27
it's a simple matter of programming to make it work.
pmichaud zev: for example, if you can write infix:<+> in Perl 6, I'd like to see it :-)
zev_ what kind of jiggering is required?
rdice pmichaud, you mean _without_ infinite recursion, right? 18:28
pmichaud rdice: preferably, yes.
particle after perl6.pbc is built, you need to use it to generate a .pbc from .pm file
zev_ pmichaud: sure, I recognize that a lot of things need to be done in pir, but there are plenty other things that can more easily be done at a higher level
pmichaud zev: the only thing stopping us from having things written in Perl 6 is having people write them that way :-)
particle ...then need to load the runtime with the perl6 executable. 18:29
rdice (or, without falling back on basic number theory, like 0 + S = S0. S0 + S = SS0, etc.)
pmichaud anyone that wants to convert existing PIR-based functions to Perl 6 based ones is welcome to do so
kj mmm. is there any idea how many bootstrap phases there will be then? in the end I mean?
I mean, there's lot of stuff that can currently only be implemented in pir 18:30
particle as few as needed
kj why rewrite them in perl 6?
particle (possibly fewer ;)
kj it would take longer to build perl6 when it's >= 1.0
zev_ can multiple pbcs be specified on the parrot command line to load a runtime? or is there some other mechanism to load a runtime?
particle load_bytecode 18:31
pmichaud zev: currently only one pbc on the parrot command line. but that pbc can load others.
purl load_bytecode is up to .11s? wow
mdiep pir's not so bad. :)
pmichaud also, I would think that for many things we would have perl6.pbc create .pir files instead of .pbc
zev_ ok, so perl6.pir needs to conditionally load_bytecode if it exists
jhorwitz PS time? 18:32
pmichaud yes, #ps
zev: the answer at the moment is that as of yet we haven't had any components written in Perl 6
zev: when we have one, I'll take care of the details of deciding how to build it into the runtime 18:33
18:33 chromatic joined
zev_ pmichaud: alright. I might look at this when I'm a little less hosed (unless someone beats me to it) 18:34
mostly unrelatedly, I was looking into adding adding os-interaction type functions (fork, exec, etc.) for testing the perl6 executable. there is a Parrot_Run_OS_Command() function in platform.c. it uses fork and waitpid, etc. internally. does it really make sense to have a high-level function like this when languages like rakudo are going to want to have versions of fork and waitpid anyway? 18:40
chromatic Other languages not like Rakudo might need them.
Of course, saying "might" isn't a strong recommendation. 18:41
particle might makes right.
chromatic That's it, you're going down, old man. 18:42
zev_ I suppose that's reasonable 18:44
18:45 rdice joined
chromatic Parrot_Run_OS_Command() is probably the run or system primitive, in Perl 6 and 5 terms. 18:45
zev_ it is very much like system()

Tene So, any parrot hackers live near detroit? 19:01

mdiep Tene: I'm in Ann Arbor 19:03
Tene mdiep: I'll be in Detroit from 24-29 with a food budget that I need help spending. 19:04
particle it's true, he will buy you dinner. i'm living proof!
mdiep heh 19:05
cognominal_ particle, I have not tried your languages/perl6/t/harness but the 'use lib' is clearly wrong
the last element of the list shoud one more "../" 19:06
s/shoud/should have/
19:07 zaphod joined
mdiep Tene: what are you doing in Detroit? I have to confess, I don't really think of it as a place to visit 19:09
Tene mdiep: I'm teaching a class for Red Hat there. 19:10
amoore it's beautiful there this time of the year.
mdiep heh. yeah, the high was ~0F yesterday :)
Tene I'm a traveling instructor. They send me to a different city every week. 19:11
mdiep I'd be interested in driving down there for dinner. just don't expect me to act as any sort of guide to the city. :) 19:12
Tene Heh, no worries. :)
rdice Tene, instructor in what? 19:16
pmichaud mmmm Red Hat instructor. I was very interested in working for Red Hat as an instructor a couple of years ago 19:17
Tene rdice: linux training. Often it's RHCE or RHCT certification classes.
rdice cool.
Tene I work for a training company in Utah that does a lot of contract work for Red Hat.
rdice if you ever get to Toronto I would love to be taken out for dinner too. :-)
cognominal_ is there a way to see how rakudo parse an expression? 19:18
Tene rdice: I'll keep that in mind. :)
cognominal_: parrot rakudo.pbc --target=parse foo.pl 19:19
pmichaud cognominal_: --target=parse
19:23 alvar joined
cognominal_ cuz undef().WHAT and (undef).WHAT parse but not undef.WHAT 19:23
pmichaud I don't think that rakudo parses "undef" yet. 19:27
cognominal_ so how come the two first expression work? 19:29
pmichaud it sees them as being function calls
cognominal_ but the function undef should not be defined 19:30
pmichaud right now rakudo treats any identifier it doesn't recognize as a function call
cognominal_ I mean that should trigger an error but it prints "Undef" 19:31
pmichaud oh. in that case I guess that 'undef' has been created as a subroutine
cognominal_ anway I find your work very interesting to read. I hope I cancontribute some day 19:32
pmichaud thanks
it's not all my work anymore, though :-)
cognominal_ well, you did PGE at least
pmichaud ah yes, there is that :-) 19:34
cognominal_ ho, that's jonathan I should bark at :)
pmichaud actually, I think that recent changes to the synopses eliminated 'Undef' as a type 19:35
I'm still catching up on those
cognominal_ yea, S02 says it should return Object, if I read it correctly 19:40
or Failure, I am not sure 19:41
pmichaud I'm not sure it's explicitly said anywhere 19:42
S04 has more details about undef and failure 19:43
19:43 slightlyoff joined
pmichaud TimToady on #perl6 says it returns a Failure 19:47
19:56 confound joined
zaphod So now that I've finally figured out how the scoping in PIR works, what are the scoping semantics of PAST supposed to be? 19:57
chromatic Allison and I just decided that the codename of the release where we merge the new GC will be "Space Barnacle". 19:58
pmichaud zaphod: how do you mean? 20:13
zaphod right now the PAST is compiling to letrec style semantics (what my original problem to the list was). I'm guessing that people will expect more let style semantics. Is that what it is supposed to be? 20:14
pmichaud I don't quite follow "letrec style semantics" and "let style semantics" 20:15
in general I think that PAST is going to go with whatever is more perl 6-like
zaphod sorry most of the stuff I know about what to call stuff is based on Scheme. So let style semantics are how let works in Scheme, and letrec style is how letrec works in Scheme 20:19
let style is then: a var's region of existence is after (lexically) it has been declared
pmichaud ohhhh 20:20
that's really more up to Parrot, not to PAST
zaphod letrec style is: a var's region of existence is in the entire block in which it is declared
pmichaud the code that PAST generates would be 'let style', if Parrot supported it
zaphod But do we or you want PAST to have to use so much inline to get the correct semantics?
TimToady Perl 6 is more like letrec style 20:21
pmichaud oh, I'm thinking that PAST will support a 'context' variable type, which means
TimToady if you say "my $a" twice, it's the same $a
pmichaud that one can fetch the value of a caller's lexical
TimToady however, you still can't retroactively declare $a
kj i though zaphod was referring to my $a = $a + 1 # where $a is also declared in an outer scope
zaphod but if I say "my $x = 1; { my $x = $x + 1; }" which $x is being used in $x + 1?
if it is the inner $x then that is letrec 20:22
if it is the outer it is let
TimToady we require you to say my $a = $OUTER::a + 1 in that case
zaphod oooohhh, interesting
TimToady the point is that a given lexical scope can have only one $a
kj TimToady: that works for Perl 6, but other languages assume OUTER to be implicit
TimToady so you don't have to go rooting around with line numbers and such when marching up the stack
pmichaud (PAST and inline code) -- undoubtedly PAST will provide some mechanism to be able to get at a caller's lexical pad 20:23
however, Parrot doesn't have very good support for it. It would be better if Parrot used let semantics instead of letrec... but that's a bit outside of my domain
TimToady it's fine if other languages want to assume OUTER, as long as your ast isn't officially ambiguous 20:24
zaphod It seems like PAST should have nodes to support both since they are fairly mutually exclusive and can be used to support different things
and hard to get
TimToady: I agree completely, the AST needs to just have a well defined semantic 20:25
pmichaud zaphod: I already said I'd support 'context' to get at a caller's lexical variables
TimToady in p5 we assume an undeclared $a must be outer until we see a declaration, and then we complain about ambiguity
20:25 confound joined, dngor joined
TimToady s/p5/p6 20:25
purl well, hard to get is common.. It's not..
zaphod pmichaud: sorry, I guess I didn't understand what you meant by context 20:26
pmichaud IMO PAST does have nodes to support both... it's Parrot that is lacking.
i.e., Parrot doesn't support let style semantics.
and I don't have a good workaround for it in PAST
zaphod Parrot does, but it requires the compiler to know and generate how to find the wanted variable 20:27
pmichaud okay, well, PAST will be able to generate that code via the 'context' PAST::Var type 20:28
TimToady p5 uses let style...
zaphod pmichaud: sounds good. Sorry about all of these little corner cases :) I've been poking at things and finding them :P 20:29
pmichaud and yes, this means that the compiler will need to be able to tell PAST when it wants the block's lexical variable or the outer one

coke I see no problem with that. Are you sure you don't want to just punt to particle? 21:16
pmichaud I think I still want to do the feb release. at least as the schedule looks now, the mar release could be much more problematic for me
coke chromatic; You currently have 9 tickets assigned to you. more? different?
That's fine. I see no problem with a day slip. I might post a note on the front page of the site, but I'm not sure that's necessary. 21:17
PerlJam Those that know and care about the scheduled releases will find out through the grape-vine that it's been postponed a day.
coke someone with commit bits could be sneaky and update the release manager's guide which is the only place that's documented. =-) 21:18
PerlJam besides, I don't think there's anyone clammoring for a release yet
davidfetter clamors
coke davidfetter; don't make me assign it to you. =-) 21:19
davidfetter d'oh!
coke wonders if anyone has ever used the phrase "taste the rainbow" in proximity to chromatic.
davidfetter here i thought "chromatic" was all about musical scales 21:20
confound free classifieds that are making a difference in kuwait 21:22
particle is there a difference between musical scales and rainbows? 21:24
Tene So, could I harass someone into looking over my lolcode patch? I think it's finally decent, there aren't any significant hacks, and there are tests. 21:25
coke If there are tests and the test pass, go for it. =-)
I can't commit anything from work at the moment.
PerlJam Tene: ask forgiveness rather than permission. You've done the due diligence ;)
Tene I don't have commit rights. 21:26
coke he doesn't have the bits.
PerlJam oh
coke If the tests pass, though; anyone with commit bits, go ahead and claim the ticket and commit.
(and then mark the patch applied, and close the ticket. =-)
PerlJam is so used to everyone having a commit bit that it just didn't occur to me that someone wouldn't.
coke #parrot is just a little slower in that regard.
Tene rt#50492 21:27
coke adds a 'feed the rainbow' rt query to keep track of when chromatic is low on tickets.
Tene goes to trawl rt, looking for something to work on. 21:28
mdiep chromatic doesn't look much like a rainbow. I've seen 'im. 21:30
Tene coke: you have nicer rt interface up anywhere yet? 21:31
coke nope. need an RT install before I can hook it up with live data. 21:33
Ping me later, I can find you a ticket or 3 when I get home.
21:33 coke left
Tene installs RT. 21:37
particle tene: coke needs an rt plugin that emits json 21:38
Tene Hmm. I can look at that.
chromatic 9 tickets is fine 21:40
when it gets down to 3 or 4 I'll need more. 21:41
particle omg. centos finally downloaded. 6+ hours later. 21:46
jhorwitz ha
dvd image?
particle ayep
jhorwitz now you get to find the corrupted bit! ;-)
particle i hope the tsa hasn't inspected the punchcards. 21:47
22:16 peeps[work] joined 22:20 particle joined
particle yay! centos installed. 22:28
davidfetter w00t! 22:30
davidfetter wonders whether parrot is in such shape as to want fink packages...
particle how can it hurt?
davidfetter well, it's significant work, and if Big Things(TM) are in flux atm, packagers could get peeved 22:31

cognominal_ I like dmg images 22:43
22:50 Andy joined
Andy I need more functions to clean up that have crappy pointer interfaces. 22:53
chromatic Andy: RT #50684, particularly the response from Peter Gibbs. 22:56
Andy URL handy?
chromatic rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=50684 22:57
Andy oh nice
that has my name all over it.
22:58 alvar joined
Andy I really don't like how string_append() can have NULLs for both args. 22:59
wknight8111 yeah, that doesnt sound like a great "feature" 23:00
Andy I already cleaned up one. 23:01
svnbotl r25668 | petdance++ | trunk: 23:03
: free memory from Parrot_get_runtime_prefix
diff: parrotvm.org/svn/parrot/revision/?rev=25668
chromatic I figured your use of splint can clear that up. 23:04
Meanwhile I'll try to figure out what happened to our Coverity scans.
23:05 kid51 joined 23:11 apple-gunkies joined
Andy can clear what up? 23:19
yeah, and klocwork would be good to start p again, too. 23:20
I'm finding I can't even follow P5 any more.

wknight8111 I'm going to update some of the documenation for config/gen/platform/win32, where do I email the updates to? 23:29
kid51 wknight8111: See procedure for submitting patches in docs/submissions.pod. It applies equally for code and docs. 23:30
wknight8111 okay, thanks 23:31
kid51 Most likely: In sandbox of trunk, svn diff > mywin32docs.patch.txt. Attach that file to email to parrotbug@parrotcode.org with [PATCH] at start of subject line.
That will start it off in the RT system and CC it to list. 23:32
wknight8111 when I see things in the file like "RT#48264", is it alright to delete those markers, or should I keep them? 23:51
mdiep wknight8111: those are references to tickets in RT 23:55
if the issue is fixed, they can be deleted; otherwise, they should stay. 23:56
