Parrot 1.1.0 Released | parrot.org/ | 322 RTs left | Weekly Priority: Apply Patches, Fix Bugs, Close Tickets
Set by moderator on 13 May 2009.
Infinoid yeah, bit distracting tho 00:00
so, it built. (due to various nasty hacks I'm not going to check in.) how do I run it?
"make test" doesn't seem to do much 00:01
darbelo svn up to get my last changes and then "parrot examples/decnum_group.pir"
make test should be a no-op
I haven't written the tests yet. 00:02
Infinoid cool. ../test/parrot: symbol lookup error: /home/infinoid/parrot-dev/test/runtime/parrot/dynext/decnum_group.so: undefined symbol: Parrot_DecBase_class_init
darbelo It's not just me, then. 00:03
00:03 Ademan joined, s1n left
Infinoid yeah. When it links decnum_group.so, it doesn't include decbase.o 00:04
nopaste "infinoid" at 76.215.211.232 pasted "[PATCH] Link decbase.o into decnum_group.so" (14 lines) at nopaste.snit.ch/16552 00:07
Infinoid darbelo: That gets me to the next missing symbol, decContextTestEndian 00:08
darbelo Yeah, but now I know how to fix it.
Infinoid have fun
Now it just looks like your decnum_group.so needs to link against (or directly include) the actual decnum library 00:09
darbelo Yup.
Infinoid back later & 00:12

jonathan sjn: There was a *lot* of tests for unicode character properties. pmichaud++ implemented support for those, and then we passed those tests. :-) 13:42
sjn ooh, nice 13:43
wondered for a second if there was some magic easter bunny that did something with the tests

Coke Whiteknight: I thought layers used to exist and were removed because they didn't work and wouldn't ever. 18:45
Whiteknight Coke: That discussion might have been before my time. My only info is what's in the PDDs 18:46
If that's the case, then the PDD needs to be updated to reflect that.
non-layered system would be perfectly fine, so long as that's the intended design

Tweaks to error messages, and a better error for return outside of subroutine.
 19:03
Whiteknight There are some instances in code that look like the start of a layered IO system, such as in src/io/io_string.c 19:05
I don't know whether that's a leftover or a prototype

kaether I'm getting HTTP CODE: 503 (Service Unavailable) 21:23
sometimes other errors, although I don't recall what they are
I'm not sure if it is just me, because I'm behind a proxy.
cotto no, it looks like it's down again. It's had a lot of downtime recently. 21:24
Does anyone here understand lexicals? 21:29
I'm trying to make use of pmichaud's commit r38795, which adds a $?FILES lexical to HLLCompiler, but simply using $P0 = find_lex "$?FILES" in a stage doesn't work. 21:30

Coke seemed to think that was no longer the plan
allison Whiteknight: it doesn't use layers anymore, they're gone 23:03
Whiteknight: ripped out, dead, dead, dead
Whiteknight: what we have now is a simple macro system that compiles the appropriate functions for the platform 23:04
Whiteknight I saw some leftovers then in src/io/io_strings.c, I guess those should be removed, and the PDD updated?
jonathan allison: hi :-)
allison: How's the calling conventions work going?
allison Whiteknight: oh, io_string.c doesn't even compile anymore, it can be deleted 23:05
jonathan: set aside for the moment for book editing
jonathan allison: Ah, OK. Got a deadline on the book?
You planning a print-on-demand version too? 23:06
Whiteknight oh, do you need more hands on the book now?
allison jonathan: calling conventions are mainly in the annoying last stages where everything depends on everything else
Whiteknight I sort of forgot that we had a deadline coming up on that
allison jonathan: the book has to go to the printers June 1
jonathan allison: Soudns very ugh.
allison: Ah, OK.
allison jonathan: and, yeah, it's print-on-demand, but there's still setup time to have it out for YAPC::NA 23:07
jonathan Ah, copies for the conference. Gotcha. 23:08
Coke allison: hio; I fixed up a ton of PIR-in-POD. as you go through chapter 03, anything still marked _INVALID probably requires a major overhaul.

the publishing company is Onyx Neon
Whiteknight I'm definitely going to buy a copy of it 23:25
and everybody in my family will buy a copy too, if my name ends up anywhere in it 23:26
it's like a total scam that I've got running over here
darbelo Put a list of contributors as an appendix. The "My name's on it" sales will cover the cost of the extra pages and land some extra profit. 23:28
