kthakore hi folks 03:54
can some one fix the link here
www.parrot.org/news/2009/Parrot-1.8.0
the 'our source code repository' 03:55
is pointing to www.parrot.org/news/2009/%5C%22http.../trunk/%22
regards great work on 1.8
dalek rrot: r42782 | jkeenan++ | trunk/lib/Parrot/Pmc2c/Attribute.pm:
Add documentation.
 03:57
cotto kthakore, thanks 03:58
kthakore cotto: np
cotto: are there more newbie ticket then the one in pmc2c? 04:01
cotto Yes, but they're not labeled. 04:02
Is there anything in particular you'd like to work on? 04:03
kthakore cotto: c stuff ... I want to start learning NCI 04:04
cotto: but baby steps ??
purl baby steps! baby steps!
cotto I'm chasing down the bug that caused the broken html. I'll look for a good newbie task after that. 04:07
kthakore cotto: np I am on trac so just attach it to me 04:08
cotto: I am going to sleep for now ... will tackle it later
cotto: thank you for helping :)
cotto: may I ask .... but what is parrot's (pir) performance to perl5 ? 04:11
cotto: well what ever good night 04:13
cotto kthakore, it doesn't really make sense to compare them since PIR isn't targeted at the same niche as Perl 5.
also, crow.pir is br0ken 04:14
actually, I need to try it with an installed parrot
Hmm. It works with installed, but I'd expect it to be fine without too. 04:17
just kidding. It's broken.
dalek rrot: r42783 | jkeenan++ | trunk/lib/Parrot/Pmc2c (8 files):
Add content to Pod DESCRIPTION (or make sure that DESCRIPTION passes codingstd test).
 04:20
rrot: r42784 | jkeenan++ | trunk/docs/project (2 files):
Make sure POD files have correctly named DESCRIPTION section.
 04:27
kthakore cotto oh ok 04:32
cotto um ... so how can i learn about parrot internals? 04:34
like how to hook c into parrot?
cotto src/extend.c and t/src/extend.t would be good places to start. 04:38
t/pmc/nci.t too 04:39
Is that what you're trying to get into? 04:40
pcc was recently overhauled 04:41
trac.parrot.org/parrot/wiki/Callin...nsOverview 04:42
japhb pmichaud, I asked this earlier, but I think you were afk ... is there any way to make the following work in NQP? 04:48
class Foo { method foo () { my $method := "bar"; self."$method"(); }; method bar () { say("Hello from method bar"); } }; my $o := Foo.new; $o.foo;
If you replace "$method" with bar , it works. 04:49
But I need to invoke a method by calculated name.
Looking through the code to P6object.pir, I didn't see anything obvious there, either. I'm thinking I have to fall back to raw PIR? 04:50
pmichaud, It also blew up when I tried using PIR just to get the method PMC as follows: 04:59
my $method := "bar"; my $meth := pir::find_method__PPs(self, $method); self.$meth();
(that's just swapping out the code in method foo () {...} ) 05:00
cotto kthakore, is that what you're looking for? 05:14

japhb purl, msg pmichaud I've updated wiki.github.com/perl6/nqp-rx/plumage-requests and reorganized it a bit to put still-requested features roughly in order of Plumage's urgency to have them. 05:27

cconstantine I'm attempting to build an abstract syntax tree of my own with PCT instead of using the PAST Nodes. github.com/cconstantine/Reason 18:14
I'd like to ahve a tree made up of my 'cons' type, but I appear to still have a tree of PCT types 18:15
moritz you do create PAST types 18:16
line 50 in actions.pm for example 18:17
cconstantine as the leaf nodes 18:18
held together in a tree made of 'cons' objects 18:19
but I don't know what happens to the cons objects I create in the expr method
moritz can't build Reason 18:22
/nocrypt-home/moritz/source/parrot-all/parrot -o reason.pbc reason.pir
error:imcc::opt_flag parameter must be of type 'I', not 'pmc' in file 'src/builtins/library.pir' line 29
cconstantine bah
moritz there's an easy fix 18:23
s/pmc/int/ in line 28 of src/builtins/library.pir
note that the error message is off-by-one 18:24
cconstantine try again
moritz heh, that's cheating :-) 18:25
$ >./reason
"load_bytecode" couldn't find file '../../runtime/parrot/library/dumper.pir'
cconstantine oh, that's where dumper is on my machine... 18:26
I don't know how to reference it properly
moritz it's in $prefix_dir/lib/$parrot_version/library/dumper.{pir,pbc}
cconstantine can I put that direclty in? 18:27
moritz nope
let me see if I can steal something from rakudo's Makefile...
cconstantine: changing line 38 in reason.pir to load_bytecode 'dumper.pir' works for me 18:30
(with an installed parrot)
cconstantine ok
me too evidently
moritz cconstantine: not sure if that's the explanation, but it seems you're using the PCT dumper... 18:31
maybe that doesn't know how to dump non-PCT types? 18:32
cconstantine then shouldn't we see 'unknown type' or somesuch from _dumper?
moritz maybe 18:33
cconstantine yeah, when I explicitly dump a list I get ""list" => PMC 'cons' { ... }"
update again to see it 18:36
moritz I did change method TOP to read 18:41
cconstantine which brings up another question; how do I have the 'cons' type be dumpable... but that's a minor issue
moritz ... make parse_list(@some_array)
and I still get "source" => PMC 'Reason;Grammar' => ...
cconstantine @some_array? 18:42
moritz my @some_array; @some_array.push(1); make parrse_list(@soem_array);
cconstantine ah
you can also just do 'make list(1, 2, 3)' or somesuch
anyway, yeah... I always seem to end up with a 'Reason;Grammar' object 18:43
moritz no idea what's wrong; maybe pmichaud knows 18:45
cconstantine ok. thanks for looking
moritz you're welcome
I also learned things along the way :-) 18:46
cconstantine good :) 18:49

lithos should i allow anonymous comments or will i get spammed then? I have no experience blogging so any advice is welcome 23:55
moritz anonymous comments will be spammy
but you might allow OpenID-verified ones

lithos i understand that OpenID-ones are allowed 23:58
