Parrot 2.5.0 Released! | parrot.org | Log: irclog.perlgeek.de/parrot/today | Nopaste: nopaste.snit.ch:8001 | GSOC Students: trac.parrot.org/parrot/wiki/GSoCersStartHere | Priorities: merge gc_massacre, remove deprecated items, close tickets. Set by moderator on 15 June 2010. |
|||
| dalek | rrot: r47677 | whiteknight++ | trunk/src/gc/gc_private.h: [gc] small stylistic nit |
00:18 | |
| bacek_at_work | whiteknight, wrong file for "stylistic nit". It should be in gc_massacre branch, not trunk! | 00:21 | |
| whiteknight | whatever, it was a change I made last night, and it would take as much effort today to revert it as to just commit it | ||
| jnthn | Out of random curiosity, last night I tried to reduce GC overhead and memory usage by switching the RPA in Object used for attribute storage to be a C array of PMCs. The patch worked (apart from one test fail that could be fixed), but actually made Grammar.pm and Actions.pm builds take *more* memory. I can't figure out why - it looks like it's leaking, but I don't have time anytime soon to look at it more. | 00:24 | |
| gist.github.com/443011 is the patch, if anyone should want to play with it. | |||
| whiteknight | jnthn: might just do that. more memory usage is certainly counterintuitive | ||
| jnthn | whiteknight: Yeah. I feared that destroy where I free the C array may not have been being called, but I shoved a breakpoint in there and sure enough, it was. | 00:25 | |
| I noticed oo.c now also pokes into the object and class PMCs - I'm sure they used to be fairly encapsulated (I mean, they played with each other, but outside stuff used the VTABLE interface.) | 00:26 | ||
| whiteknight | oo.c and object.pmc have never been encapsulated | ||
| jnthn | For clone in this case. Not sure why that wasn't left in the VTABLE clone method instead. | 00:27 | |
| whiteknight | their like siblings who got married | ||
| they're* | |||
| jnthn | I'm pretty sure - though may be wrong - that the whole clone implementation for object used to be in object. | ||
| er, in the object PMC that is. | |||
| whiteknight | it was never that way as far back as I remember, but you would remember further back than I would | 00:28 | |
| jnthn | Anyway, no biggie - at least that's the only other place that pokes at ->attrib_store | 00:29 | |
| (outside of the PMCs) | |||
| Anyway, if anyone can spot my fail that's causing leaks or excessive allocation, I'd be curious to know. | 00:30 | ||
| whiteknight | I would really love it if object.pmc were better encapsulated, but I don't think it will happen any time soon | ||
| jnthn | And yes, the patch is a bit messy - I was just seeing what kind of decrease I could get. A negative one, alas... | ||
| Thing is, parse trees and PAST trees and POST trees are just a mass of objects, so I'd have expected some kind of a win. | 00:32 | ||
| whiteknight | there is definitely win to be had, we just have to coax it out | 00:33 | |
| dalek | rrot: r47678 | whiteknight++ | failed to fetch changeset: [ns_func_cleanup] merge the ns_func_cleanup branch. Renames a bunch of functions in global.c (which is now namespace.c) |
00:35 | |
| tcurtis | jnthn: I don't think changing the implementation of attributes will affect the memory usage of PAST or POST much. PCT::Node is a subclass of Capture. I don't think they have any actual attributes. | 00:39 | |
| jnthn | tcurtis: PIR subclasses of PMCs still would thus allocate an RPA to hold the PMC object's attribute data. | 00:42 | |
| So we'd save a GC-able per node. | |||

| kthakore | darbelo: ready for the excuses | 00:44 | |
| Coke | no, bug the /release manager/ about the docs. not coke. | 00:46 | |
| tcurtis | jnthn: Ah. I didn't realize the Capture hash and array attributes would be stored in an RPA. | 00:47 | |
| Coke | dukeleto: note that DEPRECATED.pod points people to the wiki page where they should be entering this stuff. | ||
| kthakore | what is the parrot-dev mailing list again? | ||
| Coke | parrot-dev? | ||
| purl | hmmm... parrot-dev is mailto:parrot-dev@lists.parrot.org or lists.parrot.org/mailman/listinfo/parrot-dev | ||
| whiteknight | jnthn: I am putting together a patch for rakudo in a fork. Who would I talk to about getting that pulled into rakudo master when it's ready? | 00:48 | |
| kthakore | Coke: well that would have been smart | 00:50 | |
| Coke | whiteknight: rt.perl.org/rt3 | ||
| whiteknight | Coke: ? | 00:51 | |
| Coke | ... which is where patches to rakudo go? | ||
| dalek | rrot: r47679 | coke++ | branches/html_cleanup (9 files): Begin to remap layout of generated html using a simple json layout (pick JSON as we might eventually do this with parrot.) |
||
| whiteknight | oh, so no direct pulls, only patches on rt? | 00:52 | |
| Coke | they were just discussing how pmichaud at least does not particularly care for pull requests. | 00:53 | |
| whiteknight | bah | ||
| Coke | certainly you can fork to do the work, but patch is preferred. | ||
| (you can always make the request and hope someone grabs it. =-) | 00:54 | ||
| Coke asks for vague feedback on his json files. | |||
| whiteknight | maybe they just need to give me a commit bit. Save everybody the effort | ||
| Coke | (the plan is to use those to figure out what to generate for .html instead of the to-me-convoluted Parrot::Doc objects. | ||
| cotto_work | Coke, looks like it's json. | 00:55 | |
| Is that vague enough? | |||
| Coke | cotto_work: 'tis, in fact. I even ran it through a tidier to validate it before commiting. :P | ||
| Tene | whiteknight: you can also just put the git info in a ticket, for pulling with git | 00:57 | |
| whiteknight: which is what I'd prefer, personally. | |||
| tcurtis | Coke: trac.parrot.org/parrot/browser/bran...?rev=47679 should the "title" of this be "Opcodes"? | 00:58 | |
| jnthn | whiteknight: As @other have noted, patches are the preferred way at the moment. | ||
| Well | |||
| Not preferred by all evidently. ;-) | |||
| whiteknight | jnthn: okay, well I just committed the fix to my rakudo repo. So I can do whatever is needed now. | 00:59 | |
| github.com/Whiteknight/rakudo/commi...9f454a17d2 | |||
| so tell me what you want me to do with it | |||
| jnthn | Please send in a RT with either a link to that URL or a patch saying it's needed for Rakudo to build on latest Parrot. | 01:00 | |
| Somebody will apply it probably in pretty short order. | |||
| whiteknight | 'salright | ||
| jnthn | As for me, it's 3am so I'm gonna sleep. :-) | ||
| o/ | |||
| Coke | tcurtis: danke, fixed! | 01:01 | |
| whiteknight | holy crap, how do you create a ticket on rt? | 01:02 | |
| I can't remember, and I don't see any links here that look like "submit a damn ticket" | 01:03 | ||
| ...fuggedaboutit. I'm not spending more time and effort trying to submit the patch as it took to create it. | 01:04 | ||
| Tene | whiteknight: I've always used the mail alias... | 01:05 | |
| purl: rakudobug? | |||
| purl | it has been said that rakudobug is mailto:rakudobug@perl.org | ||
| Tene | yeah, that | ||
| purl | Sure, that. | ||

| dukeleto | Coke: key word is "should" i guess | 01:17 | |
| kthakore | cotto_work: darbelo sent ... now lets just hope ppl don't hate me | 01:22 | |
| whiteknight | Coke: first pull request sent | 01:25 | |
| ..and partcl-nqp builds fine with no fixes | 01:26 | ||
| my work here is done | |||
| kthakore: no hating! | 01:29 | ||
| kthakore: it's good criticism. A deprecation notice did go out, but it was maybe not very well worded | 01:30 | ||
| kthakore | whiteknight: itisnotmyfault ... wahhhhh sorry | 01:32 | |
| whiteknight: cotto_work made me do it | |||
| tcurtis | whiteknight: The relevant deprecation notice was that "Parts or all of: bit.ops, debug.ops, io.ops, math.ops, obscure.ops, set.ops (the obscure and rarely used parts), sys.ops." would be moved to dynops. trac.parrot.org/parrot/changeset/37443 | ||
| whiteknight | kthakore: no worries. Emails are good. I'm putting together a nice reply | ||
| yes, it was a bad notice | |||
| kthakore | tcurtis: that makes .... no sense to me sorry | ||
| whiteknight | and a symptom of a bigger problem that we should fix | ||
| kthakore | tcurtis: all it looked to me ( the end user ) was brackets are needed now ... like what? | 01:33 | |
| tcurtis: I am noob I know but ... just my pov | |||
| cotto_work | looks like this is one of those mssages that outlook will choose to show me when it's good and ready. | 01:34 | |
| kthakore | cotto_work: hah | ||
| cotto_work | I'll probably get the original after whiteknight's reply. | 01:35 | |
| kthakore | cotto_work: it prolly went to the spam as it has the word critism in it | 01:36 | |

|
|||
| Coke | whiteknight: applied. | 01:38 | |
| purl | rumour has it applied is useful | ||
| tcurtis | kthakore: Actually, I think the fix is to add some .loadlib directives to your PIR. Some of the formerly core ops were moved to dynops that you need to load to use. I don't do much PIR so I don't know exactly what dynoplibs you need to load. | ||
| Coke | and fwiw, I had no problems with the fork queue. | ||
| tcurtis | kthakore: The error messages you're getting are because IMCC is seeing an identifier it doesn't recognize as an op(because it's now a dynop and the appropriate dynoplib hasn't been loaded) and assuming it's a sub call and being confused when it doesn't see any parentheses. | 01:40 | |
| kthakore | tcurtis: see I never doubted there was a valid reason for all this | ||
| but ... tcurtis a change this drastic in 5 months ... it is like building on sand | 01:41 | ||
| tcurtis: do you really expect people to come back and update their libraries over and over again if you guys are changing stuff so quickly? | 01:42 | ||
| cotto_work | I think the problem will be lessened if we can point at a wiki page and say "you'll need to make these changes to your code when moving between x.y and x.y+3 ." | 01:44 | |
| Coke | which was the point of the Deprecations page, btw. | 01:45 | |
| cotto_work | but nobody's using it, so we're clearly doing it wrong | ||
| That page needs better organization too. | 01:46 | ||
| Coke | yup. I certainly feel kthakore's pain, see my previous rants about partcl. | ||
| kthakore | cotto_work: not to mention the docs ... | 01:47 | |
| which should be updated no? | |||
| tcurtis | kthakore: I don't think that the way that this change was handled was best. Especially not the extremely broad deprecation notice or the lack of updates to the docs on the website to reflect the change. | 01:49 | |
| It appears that the docs built by "make html" have been updated, though. | 01:50 | ||
| cotto_work | on the plus side, it's a good call to action | ||
| kthakore hugs Coke. I feel ya buddy. | 01:51 | ||
| sorear | I didn't realize end users were supposed to use PIR | 01:55 | |
| cotto_work | I love having a todo list on the wiki | ||
| cotto_work goes away | |||
| whiteknight | email sent | 01:57 | |
| kthakore | whiteknight: thanks it makes sense | 02:02 | |
| sorear: well that is what SDL was in on the trunk | |||
| sorear: should I use something else? | |||
| whiteknight | kthakore: we cant make everybody happy, but w should try harder | ||
| kthakore | sorear: this uses NCI btw | ||
| whiteknight: no I get it but I am glad depreceation will be address | 02:03 | ||
| whiteknight: I actually did see the IMCC deprec ... but it never translated to brackets around printerr for me | 02:04 | ||
| whiteknight: I guess I am still fairly new at PIR | |||
| whiteknight: it just the shock of 'ok I fixed broken thing. Let put it down and come back. WTH it is more broken now. Who put the turd in the punchbowl?' | |||

| Coke | did someone mention to kthakore that he needs " .loadlib('io_ops') " to fix his bug? | 04:03 | |
| ala github.com/partcl/partcl/commit/937...26a009e5bd | |||
| Coke makes some more vague progress on replacing 'make html' | 04:04 | ||
| sorear | If that wasn't the first think kthakore saw in the deprecation docs, we have failed. Horribly. | 04:05 | |

| plobsing | sorear: I'm trying to with the dynop_mapping branch | 04:14 | |
| but I'm not sure my approach (your approach really) will be able to handle big compilation units well (eg: rakudo) | 04:16 | ||
| keeping the ops around in internal form to renumber them at the end could be costly | 04:17 | ||
| suggestions to address that would be very welcome | 04:19 | ||
| sorear | I addressed that at the very beginning | 04:21 | |
| there's a tradeoff here | |||
| I gave you 2 related versions | |||
| one used 1 word per op table entry, the other 2 | |||
| the 2 word version had the advantage of not requiring renumbering at the end | |||
| because you can assign a number to an op as soon as you need a number for the op | 04:22 | ||
| plobsing | oic. I only recalled the 1 word per op version. | ||
| sorear | the cost of doing this is that it's not possible to guarantee all ops from the same oplib are contiguous, which means an extra word per op in the descriptor table | ||
|
04:23
snarkyboojum joined
|
|||
| plobsing | I'm not even sure the renumbering variant is feasible due to various features (eg: :immediate, :outer, etc...), which is why I haven't made much progress. | 04:23 | |
| I'll try the 2 word/op variant. Hopefully it will go better. | 04:25 | ||

| Coke: I will have some questions form a parrot extenstion point of view | |||
| Coke | our docs have ... 3 problems. | 13:00 | |
| 1) things that put docs together are broken | |||
| moritz | we? | ||
| purl assimilates moritz into the borg | |||
| Coke | 2) thigns that put docs together don't insure we're getting all the docs that are written and collating them nicely. | 13:01 | |
| 3) we're missing a lot of docs altogether. (or they are old) | |||
| moritz: you. | |||
| ? | |||
| moritz | Coke: we put docs together, so we are broken | ||
| Coke | I meant, for example, that 'make html' generates many 0-byte html files. | 13:02 | |
| Coke will fixup all the technical borkage so folks can just write pod. | |||

| NotFound | kthakore: we need lots of questions from extensions point of view. | 14:32 | |
| kthakore | NotFound: oh hai | 14:33 | |
| NotFound | And answers, of course, but questions must come first. | ||
| kthakore | NotFound: ok. Why is it show hard to configure library locations? | ||
| NotFound | kthakore: What library locations? External ones for dynamic linking? | 14:34 | |
| kthakore | yeah | 14:36 | |
| NotFound: it is done manually or only looks in certain locations | |||
| you cannot have something like ./configure --prefix | |||
| and LIB_RUNTIME | |||
| so you can control where the path is | 14:37 | ||
| NotFound | kthakore: unless you have specific configure locations parrot doesn't look anything, the operating system uses its default way. | ||
| specific configure probes for a particular library, I mean. | 14:38 | ||
| kthakore: path is not enough to locate a dynamic libray in a specific location. The OS linker has its default ways to locate libs, but if you use full paths you must use full name. | 14:40 | ||
| And for full name you must take into account things like so.1, so.1.1 and so on, special extensions used by cygwin and others... | 14:42 | ||
| kthakore | yeah ... | ||
| purl doo wop doo wop // shang a langa shanga langaa | |||
| NotFound | Most libraries and packages are written without any provision for runtime linking. | ||
| kthakore | NotFound: so when I have SDL libs in path why can it not find them? | 14:43 | |
| NotFound: yeah but NCI *is* runtime linking | |||
| NotFound | kthakore: In linux? | ||
| purl | hmmm... In linux is there a way to spy on a filehandle for another process and determine the 'tell' position for it... or is that syscall 'pos'... I don't remember | ||
| kthakore | NotFound: yeah | ||
| NotFound: I updated parrot and had to manually change each library path in the .pir files | |||
| then I gave up | 14:44 | ||
| for today | |||
| purl | for today is harvest day | ||
| kthakore | purl: STFU | ||
| purl | it has been said that STFU is DCC SEND "FURBLELOGGER" 0 0 0 or eval: join"",map uc,map$_ eq"i"?"u":$_,("fist"=~/./sg)[2,3,0,1] or "Show Them Fury Unleashed" or St. Thomas Franciscan University or shut the fuck up or subsiste sermonem statim | ||
| kthakore | jeez | ||
| NotFound | kthakore: linux doesn't use PATH to locate libs, you have ldconfig and, for special purposes, the environmental vars LD_RUN_PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PAH | ||
| kthakore | NotFound: I did both | ||
| kthakore cries ... | |||
| NotFound: I think I should just make a test.pir and send it to you guys in a ticket ... | 14:45 | ||
| NotFound | kthakore: What pir files? | ||
| kthakore | NotFound: SDL.pir and so on | ||
| NotFound | kthakore: In the repo, or in the extern sdl project? | 14:46 | |
| kthakore | NotFound: github.com/kthakore/parrotSDL (which is from repo but as a plummage and some fixes) | 14:47 | |
| NotFound | kthakore: take a look at examples/nci/Xlib.pir, it does some exercises to locate libX | ||
| I see you already have something like that. | 14:50 | ||
| kthakore | NotFound: which fails now | 14:51 | |
| NotFound: well a lot does now | |||
| NotFound | You may want to add 'libSDL-1.2.so', without the .0 | 14:52 | |
| kthakore | NotFound: did that today ... no dice | ||
| NotFound: that repo is 5 months ago | |||
| NotFound: it was working back then ... not now | 14:53 | ||
| NotFound | kthakore: is most Debian type packages the .so without numbers is provided by the -dev package. | ||
| kthakore | right | ||
| NotFound | IMO the prefered way is to try that one first. | 14:54 | |
| kthakore | but you do realize that when you search for libraries there should be a cross paltform interface | ||
| like -lsdl and parrot goes and finds .so or .dylib or .dll or .whatever | |||
| the fact that I have to do libSDL.so.0 or libSDL.so is not how it is done | 14:55 | ||
| NotFound | kthakore: in that case you aren't who look, the OS and the linker does. | ||
| kthakore | NotFound: or is parrot only going to be for linux | ||
| NotFound: right but why does it not do that right now? | |||
| how do I get the os to do it? | |||
| that is my question | |||
| NotFound | kthakore: we don't have a good answer for that question. We need some reliable hand-codes solutions, and when we have it we can make parrot do it by default. | 14:58 | |
| s/hand_codes/hand-coded | |||
| kthakore | what do you mean by hand-coded | 14:59 | |
| NotFound | kthakore: pir, or whatever. | ||
| kthakore | oh ok | ||
| NotFound | What we currently do, but improved. | ||
| kthakore | what and where do you guys do right now? | 15:02 | |
| NotFound | Just check a list of known names. | ||
| kthakore | hah ... | 15:03 | |
| NotFound: do we have a PASM regex or simple pattern checker? | |||
| NotFound | And is some case, like readline and ncurses, configure has probes and they are linked during build. | ||
| kthakore | yeah | ||
| sorear | the shared library API on most platforms sucks for FFIs | 15:04 | |
| NotFound | And the libraries and packagers sucks, no one cares for runtime linking. | ||
| A lot even don't know it exists. | 15:05 | ||
| Coke | if you want patterns, you need pge (or preferablly, nqprx) | 15:06 | |
| NotFound | I think we have a glob somewhere... | ||
| kthakore | Coke: oh ... yeah ... that take time | ||
| Coke: and I got people questioning me for when SDL is in Perl6 | 15:07 | ||
| NotFound: where in teh codebase right now is the run time linking list finder? | |||
| sorear | whiteknight: May I recommend that Parrot adopt a consistant and precisely specified model of exactly when you can get away without locks, most probably copying the Java/Go one? | 15:08 | |
| whiteknight | sorear: yes, having a way to query whether a given piece of data requires locks would be a good thing | 15:09 | |
| a string, for instance, never needs a lock. Some PMCs don't always | |||
| NotFound | runtime/parrot/library/osutils.pir has a 'glob' sub | ||
| dalek | kudo: 8a5f383 | pmichaud++ | docs/spectest-progress.csv: spectest-progress.csv update: 490 files, 33443 (83.7% of 39960) pass, 4 fail S05-interpolation/regex-in-variable.rakudo 19 - Nested array match (a) S05-interpolation/regex-in-variable.rakudo 20 - Nested array match (e) S05-interpolation/regex-in-variable.rakudo 21 - Multiple array matching S05-interpolation/regex-in-variable.rakudo 23 - Multiple array non-compiling |
||
| kthakore | NotFound: no no not glob but where is the run time searcher? | ||
| NotFound | kthakore: src/library.c | ||
| Coke | kthakore: I don't know what to tell you about your time frames. | ||
| kthakore | NotFound: thanks | 15:10 | |
| Coke: it is not my time frames | |||
| Coke | if you want simple literal string matching, there's an opcode for that, I think. if you want globbing or regexps, that's where the code is. | ||
| kthakore | Coke: it is just that people think perl6 SDL will be a simple matter | ||
| NotFound: is there another way to do extension beside NCI? | |||
| NotFound: like XS ? | 15:11 | ||
| sorear | whiteknight: well, that, yeah, but I'm more talking about "when is a write in one thread guaranteed to show up in another's read" | ||
| kthakore | NotFound: for parrot? | ||
|
15:11
patspam joined
|
|||
| NotFound | kthakore: custom dynpmc | 15:11 | |
| Coke | kthakore: yes, but what does that have to do with doing regexp matching in parrot? | ||
| whiteknight | sorear: ah, okay. | ||
| sorear: yeah, that gets tricky. With clones or message passing there is no hard guarantee, unless we call some kind of "stop the world and update everything" operation | 15:12 | ||
| kthakore | Coke: ... ok here like this [ perl6+SDL -> parrotSDL -> NCI -> runtime libary load -> runtime library searching -> maybe use regex ] | ||
| Coke: see? | |||
| NotFound: is that more stable then NCI? | |||
| NotFound | Coke: I think he means matching in filesystem paths | ||
| kthakore: as stable as you write it. | 15:13 | ||
|
15:13
ash_ joined
|
|||
| sorear | whiteknight: that's a mistake, IMO | 15:13 | |
| Coke | purl, kthakore? | ||
| purl | somebody said kthakore was working on rehashing SDL_perl or making a Tetris clone in Modern Perl which shows an Example of MVC and the mediator design pattern in SDL Perl | ||
| sorear | we should set rules and stick to them | ||
| whiteknight | sorear: so what rules, specifically, do you recommend? The point of my post was that we didn't have any answers yet | 15:14 | |
| kthakore | NotFound: hah .. it is like the wild wild west | ||
| NotFound: :) | |||
| whiteknight | sorear: we have lots of options, all with good and bad points | ||
| NotFound | kthakore: stable in the sense that its API change less frequently, yes. | ||
| kthakore | Coke: but I already did the tetris | ||
|
15:15
patspam joined
|
|||
| sorear | whiteknight: In that case, I missed your point. As long as you agree that there should be answers, I'm ok | 15:15 | |
| kthakore | NotFound: awesome ... now to go learn that ... any pointers ( no I don't mean 0x0000) | ||
| NotFound | kthakore: shit, that's my favourite joke X-) | ||
| whiteknight | sorear: a lot of it is going to depend on the final form that the threading implementation takes | ||
| kthakore | Coke: github.com/kthakore/TetrisPL | 15:16 | |
| Coke: but basically what I meant is for perl6 SDL I need to do parrotSDL so on | |||
| whiteknight | sorear: and then we need to decide if we want o use something like transactional memory, which obviates the need for most locks | ||
| ash_ | i just noticed something kinda interesting about Obj-C's threading model, you can use any objective-c object as a lock, which is a kinda interesting approach since you don't have to use special objects to lock/unlock stuff | ||
| kthakore | NotFound: yeah it is fairly common | ||
| whiteknight | Maybe we want to provide a lock PMC type, and just let programmers decide when to use it | ||
| kthakore | ash_: !!! I was looking for you! | ||
| ash_ | hi? | ||
| purl | leave me alone, willya! | ||
| NotFound | kthakore: To write a project with dynpmc? Don't know if we have any good example other than languages. | 15:17 | |
| kthakore | ash_: any plans for improving the NCI loader | ||
| ash_ | i saw your message on the mailing list about libSDL | ||
| kthakore | ash_: yeah | ||
| Coke | partcl uses dynpmcs. as does rakudo. | ||
| kthakore | ash_: I wanted to know your roadmap/scope for NCI gsoc project | ||
| NotFound | Coke: I think these qualifies as "languages" ;) | 15:18 | |
| Coke | i'm not sure writing YA pmc is the way to solve this problem, but it's certainly a known path for injecting C into your PIR. | ||
| NotFound: I was just being specific. | |||
| kthakore | NotFound: so SDL -> dynpmcs -> parrotSDL.pmc will not work? | ||
| Coke | if the current dynload magic isn't working for you, however, I would suggest proposing your desired behavior instead of writing YA workaround. | ||
| then the next person to have your problem, won't. | 15:19 | ||
| kthakore | NotFound: will this work? SDL <-> dynpmcs <-> parrotSDL.pmc | ||
| Coke | where if you roll your own, only you win. | ||
| NotFound | kthakore: I will work, I just don't know any good project to borrow from. | ||
| kthakore | ah ok | ||
| ash_ | kthakore: gist.github.com/412727 most of my changes center around the mechanism for calling foriegn code and how that code gets returned | ||
| kthakore | NotFound: wild wild west indeed | ||
| ash_: loadlib is for loading the .pir right? or the actualy .so | 15:20 | ||
| NotFound | kthakore: better ask the mailing list for one | ||
| kthakore | NotFound: ok | ||
| ash_ | the .so | ||
| purl | somebody said the .so was somalia or shared object library | ||
| kthakore | ash_: have you worked on this yet? | ||
| ash_ I might switch to your branch then for parrotSDL | 15:21 | ||
| ash_ | yep, its not done, but its under way | ||
| kthakore | ash_: cool | ||
| Coke | loadlib is not for loading pir. | ||
| ash_ | eh, my branch doesn't build properly yet | ||
| kthakore | ash_: until then I will explore dynpmc | ||
| Coke | loadlib (the opcode) is for loading a C library. | ||
| kthakore sees the light again! | |||
| ash_ | but a lot of this still works with the core nci system (assuming your signature is one of the ones loaded already) | ||
| Coke | NotFound: can you summarize the problem kthakore is having with "loadlib $P1, "libSDL" " ? | 15:22 | |
| kthakore | ash_: hah ... it used to work ... no so anymore | ||
| Coke: libSDL needs to be defined with .so or .so.0 to be found | |||
| Coke: it can't find it in LD_CONFIG_PATH | 15:23 | ||
| ash_ | you can already do '$P0 = loadlib "libc" $P1 = dlfunc $P0, "printf", "vt" $P1("Hello World") for instance | ||
| kthakore | Coke: so I had to do specific name but that sucks | ||
| ash_ | that works with the current NCI system | ||
| kthakore | ash_: will try | ||
| NotFound | Coke: AFAIK the problem is just that we don't have any way to locate libraries other than asking the OS and try some known names/locations. | ||
| kthakore | Coke: ^^ that | ||
| NotFound | And you can add the problem with linker scripts, too. | ||
| kthakore | ash_: how will you link libffi to NCI stuff | 15:24 | |
| ash_: can I do that same way with libSDL ? | |||
| ash_ | by gutting the core nci pmc | ||
| well, if i get my changes working right, you won't have to | |||
| NotFound | kthakore: LD_CONFIG_PATH? In what OS? | 15:25 | |
| kthakore | ash_: hah .... we will see ... I am skeptical with the whole NCI idea now | ||
| NotFound: Debian | |||
| ash_ | you should be able to use the built in nci pmc to do all the work for you so you don't have to make any special C extensions | ||
| NotFound | kthakore: try LD_LIBRARY_PATH | ||
| kthakore | ash_: I want to make C extensions like XS . I can handle C | ||
| ash_: C is sane and rational and just gravy | 15:26 | ||
| Coke | kthakore: not on my box. if I do $P1 = loadlib "libneon", I get a ParrotLibrary object. | ||
| kthakore | Coke: hence my crying | ||
| NotFound | ash_: You should... in some indeterminated point in the future. | ||
| Coke | Can you show me a very short program that fails for you? | ||
| kthakore | NotFound: fail ... | ||
| Coke: hm ok. | |||
| Coke: I have to gut SDL.pir | 15:27 | ||
| Coke: be back in a sec | |||
| ash_ | NotFound: what do you mean? (in reference to what?) | ||
| kthakore | Coke: or longer | ||
| Coke | ok. without a failing test, it's hard to help people. | ||
| NotFound | ash_: That we can't now de all the work with just nci. | ||
| s/de/do | |||
| Coke | but since my simple example works, it's not a clear cut case of 'parrot is doing it wrong'. | 15:28 | |
| ash_ | got ya, yeah, thats what my GSoC is supposed to help with | ||
| NotFound | ash_: BTW you can take a look at my last fix to nci, to avoid repeating the same mistake again. | 15:29 | |
| kthakore | Coke: yeah I know what you mean | ||
| NotFound | I'm a little bored of fixing the same thing several times. | ||
| kthakore | NotFound++ | ||
| ash_ | NotFound: was it applied to trunk? i'll find the revisions just need to know where to looks | 15:30 | |
| NotFound | ash_: one second... | ||

| ash_ | a .sub marked with :main is | ||
| kthakore | ash_: thanks | ||
| NotFound | kthakore: .sub main is a convention, and only works if is the first sub in the file. Marking with the :main modifier is the best way. | 15:40 | |
| ash_ | kthakore: docs.parrot.org/parrot/devel/html/d...r.pod.html is a great reference | ||
| kthakore | ash_: thanks | 15:41 | |
| ash_ | its a bit more indepth than most of the other tutorials on pir, since it is the design doc pir is based off of | 15:42 | |
| whiteknight | again, if you guys come up with specific things about the docs that need to change, we can change them | 15:43 | |
| NotFound | Rant-driven documentation X-) | 15:46 | |

| whiteknight | ash_: Not besides his GSoC application, I don't think | ||
| and some of his blog posts | |||
| kthakore | Coke: ... I am so puzzeled now | 15:50 | |
| Coke: I pulled it the SDL load out of the .namespace[SDL] and it works | |||
| Coke: so in my example I put .namespace | 15:51 | ||

| Coke | sorear: parrot's been cooking since 2001. I think 6 is a lowball estimate. | 16:37 | |
| whiteknight | Parrot has been getting much better recently, and shedding a lot of old cruft | 16:40 | |
| I don't think we need to quite be talking about a rewrite | 16:41 | ||

| chromatic | We can't always write tests for the complete behavior of all libraries shipping with Parrot (Do you have SDL installed? How do you take a screenshot and verify that it drew blue rectangles appropriately?), but if we'd had tests that those libraries *parsed*, we'd have been able to fix the io_ops deprecation. | 18:41 | |

| Tene: then get it to merged into trunk? | |||
| I will plan for 2.6 then | |||
| Tene | kthakore: That would be great. We're always glad to get new tests, and it would be great to have SDL in 2.6. :) | ||
| kthakore | Tene: I still would like to try my hand at dynpmc as I like the link at build time rather runtime | 18:49 | |
| Tene | nodnod | ||
| kthakore | Tene: also I need to understand how to configure in parrot to search for libraries and skip tests if missin | 18:50 | |
| Tene | I have nooooooooooo idea. I haven't touched the build system. :) | ||
| kthakore | Tene: I have been googling a lot and doing grep on svn logs but it hasn't helped | 18:51 | |
| Tene: ok well how to do dynpmc stuff? | |||
| like is there a SDL.parrot.c that then gets compiled some how ... ? | |||
| Tene | I think you want to ask kid51 about configure stuff. iirc, he's been the biggest contributer to configure system. | 18:52 | |
| I haven't worked with dynpmcs either, but I know that rakudo uses some, so you could probably look at their repo for an example. | |||
| kthakore | Tene: ok | ||
| kthakore heads futher down or up the rabbit whole. It's all realative anyway | 18:53 | ||
| Tene | Good luck! | ||
| purl | You'll need it. | ||
| kthakore | Tene: hanks I think | 18:54 | |
| kthakore feels a shove as he falls down the hole | |||
| :p | |||

| chromatic | Don't write dynpmcs for SDL. That's the wrong approach. | 19:09 | |
| kthakore | chromatic: but but ... why | ||
| chromatic | Because SDL is a procedural library and PMCs are data structures. | ||
| kthakore | chromatic: dynpmcs is not like XS for parrot? | ||
| chromatic | No, NCI is like XS for Parrot. | 19:10 | |
| purl | okay, chromatic. | ||
| kthakore | chromatic: but NCI is a pain ... | ||
| chromatic | Dynpmcs will be more of a pain. | ||
| kthakore | ok you are the boss | ||
| chromatic | I wrote PMCs for SDL in 2002/2003. | 19:11 | |
| kthakore | chromatic: I like binding in C though and ... no more runtime linking pains | ||
| chromatic: may I see? them | |||
| chromatic | They're long gone, because that's the wrong approach. | ||
| kthakore | but hasn't PMC changed since then? | ||
| chromatic | Some, yes. | ||
| kthakore | ok | ||
| I will keep with NCI I guess. But serious NCI support is flimsy in parrot | 19:12 | ||
| chromatic | We'd like to fix any problems there. | ||
| kthakore | chromatic: so I am the test subject for NCI or are there other sufferers? | 19:14 | |
| chromatic | If you have a bug that no one else has reported, you are the test subject for that bug. | ||
| kthakore | chromatic: ok | 19:15 | |
| but are there other constant users of NCI | |||
| chromatic | Yes. | ||
| kthakore | who? | ||
| chromatic | Parrot itself, for one. | 19:16 | |
| kthakore | people doing bindings? | ||
| oh but that is not fair | |||
| I mean people who are out side of parrot's core team | |||
| obviously the core team is never going to have trouble with NCI | |||
| chromatic | ha | ||
| Coke | double ha. | ||
| kthakore | triple ha | ||
| atrodo | quad ha | 19:17 | |
| kthakore | so you guys are struggling with this too? | ||
| why is it so hard? | |||
| I mean I thought XS was scary | |||
| particle | mod_parrot was an nci consumer, but hasn't been maintained in a while | ||
| chromatic | I don't know what your problem is until you file a bug. | ||
| particle | funny, i can tell you what your problem is. | 19:18 | |
| kthakore | particle: what? | ||
| particle: even I dunno | |||
| chromatic | I'm too handsome! | ||
| particle | i'm talking to chromatic. | ||
| kthakore | ha | ||
| double ha | |||
| chromatic: have you seen the mario pic? | |||
| chromatic: on your ident? | |||
| chromatic | No idea. | 19:19 | |
| kthakore | particle: well what is his problem? fill us in man | ||
| sure mr.handsome | |||
| kthakore has no clue what chromatic looks like | |||

| atrodo | Every single one of ya'll look like perl hackers | ||
| kthakore | atrodo: yes | ||
| cotto_work: do you have a rockin beard? | |||

| cotto_work | I'm in the blue Perl shirt | 19:29 | |
| kthakore | cotto_work: you win the contest! | ||
| cotto_work: :D | |||
| chromatic | Oh, I forgot jhorwitz. He's always the best looking of all of us. | ||
| kthakore | cotto_work: is the most perl looking hacker of the bunch | ||
| cotto_work | most fun to go to a bar with too | ||
| kthakore | cotto_work: hence the most handsome | ||
| cotto_work: I bet! | 19:30 | ||
| grey beards mean you have level up in the bar | |||
| cotto_work | (that was in response to chromatic) | ||
| kthakore | well that is what my dad says | ||
| *leveled | |||
| cotto_work | The d00d with the beard and the long hair is util. | ||
| kthakore | *sigh* I wanted to be at YAPC ...-.- | 19:31 | |
| stupid exams | |||
| Tene | I wanted to be at yapc too. didn't have exams, though. | ||
| kthakore | Tene: well I had one exam. It was just really long and painful | 19:34 | |

20:50 | |
| atrodo | So, since I'd like to sit in on it, can anyone tell me when this Lorito meeting at YAPC is taking place? | 20:55 | |
| kthakore | atrodo: right now! RUN! | 20:56 | |
| atrodo: you are missing it man! | |||
| Coke | no, it hasn't been scheduled. | ||
| atrodo | Yep, not falling for that again kthakore :-p | ||
| kthakore | atrodo: awww | ||
| Coke | however, there is a parrot / rakudo /perl 6 all-the-time BOF room, so that's likely the where. | ||
| atrodo | Do you know how embarssing it was the other day to show up on OSU campus to find no one? | ||
| kthakore | atrodo: i am pretty sure there is a super nice stalker/predator waiting for you there | 20:58 | |
| atrodo | Ow shoot, now I've got to drive there AGAIN. The wife is going to kill me when she sees how much milage i've put on the car this week | ||
| kthakore | haha | ||
| chromatic | pmichaud and I agreed to have a meeting on Monday night (post dinner? at dinner?) to discuss what Rakudo wants from an ideal VM. | 20:59 | |
| kthakore | chromatic: psst rakudo wants SDL, rakudo told me in secret | ||
| kthakore just wants to use grammars in his games | 21:00 | ||
| whiteknight | chromatic: I would be extremely interested to hear the results of that | 21:01 | |
| chromatic | I'm sure you could guess at most of their needs. | ||
| Their list probably overlaps mine by 80%. | 21:02 | ||
| whiteknight | yeah. Assignment semantics I'm sure are towards the top of the list | ||
| performance | |||
| purl | i heard performance was not a big deal | ||
| atrodo | Hundred dollar bills? | ||
| whiteknight | purl, you heard wrong | ||
| purl | whiteknight: sorry... | ||
| kthakore | purl: go die | 21:03 | |
| purl | somebody said go die was boojum's favorite. | ||
| chromatic | lvalue/rvalue semantics, a working metaobject system, faster attribute/method access | ||
| cheaper exception handlers, working unwind semantics | 21:04 | ||
| whiteknight | I suspect that lvalue/rvalue semantics would improve performance significantly, with fewer stores/lookups | ||
| unwind semantics, right. That's definitely a big one. I've been looking at the code and can't really come up with a solid way to enforce it | |||
| kthakore | what are lvalue/rvalue semantics? | ||
| cotto_work | That sounds like the mother of all compatibility breaks though. | ||
| chromatic | Seems like it should be easy, with CPS. | 21:05 | |
| kthakore | all I remeber is sub atrribute :lvalue { return $_[0]->foo } | ||
| whiteknight | chromatic: with CPS we could "Return" to something that wasn't the caller. So a return doesn' necessarily unwind the contexts in a linear way | ||
| so you can't really guarantee that you are unwinding past a particular context. | 21:06 | ||
| chromatic | a Continuation could point to all of the exception handlers or unwinders necessary to reach a particular point. | ||
| whiteknight | true, that's the second option. We could add it to the continuation, or create a Sub and wrap the continuation in it | ||
| but again, if somebody overwrites the return continuation, we lose the handlers | |||
| or, if somebody invokes a continuation and leaves the scope but never returns, we never execute the handlers | 21:07 | ||
| chromatic | That's why I think we need to make a list of all possible use cases, explicitly support or refuse to support them, and come up with a working design. | 21:08 | |
| atrodo | Could a continuation point to the instruction that it jumped from? | ||
| whiteknight | chromatic: yes. A list of necessary situations and places where we can avoid them is key | ||
| oh, exceptions too. If you throw an exception that is caught by the parent, you don't go through the normal return methods | |||
| unless we try a tricky set of catch/rethrow | 21:09 | ||
| chromatic | We've never made that list, so we've always piled on flying buttresses. | ||
| pmichaud | ah yes, I need to schedule that Bof | ||
| whiteknight | Let me draft up a wiki page right now, while it's on my mind | ||
| pmichaud schedules the bof | 21:10 | ||
| chromatic: at dinner? post dinner? | 21:11 | ||
| (i.e., do you have a preference?) | |||
| or, do anyone else who might be attending? | |||
| chromatic | No preference here. A whiteboard might be nice. | ||
| pmichaud | The schedule only shows room availability until 19h00 | 21:12 | |
| so.... | |||
| lightning talks are scheduled to end at 17h00 | |||
| er, 1740 | |||
| there's a "VIP Party" listed at 18h00 | 21:13 | ||
| chromatic | Yeah, I don't know what that is. | ||
| atrodo | "We really hope to honor our special guests, all those new to YAPC and new to Perl with a toast. So everyone please attend this gala event! " | 21:14 | |
| chromatic | Yes, but what kind of toast? | ||
| atrodo | My question is, if everyone is invited, is it really a VIP party? | ||
| pmichaud | I guess we're all VIPs. | ||
| if that includes food, then I'd say we should meet after that | 21:15 | ||
| atrodo | That's all the description has. | ||
| pmichaud | if it doesn't include food, or if the food isn't worthwhile, then we meet after that at a place that has food | ||
| so, I claim Monday 19h00 | 21:16 | ||
| whiteboard might be nice but I think dinner might be more important | |||
| chromatic | I'll pack a couple of notepads. | ||
| pmichaud | and in answer to the earlier question (what would I have on that list), my highest suggestion for Lorito or any sort of redesign would be to prioritize on an efficient object metamodel | 21:18 | |
| also, an efficient reference mechanism | 21:19 | ||
| (for containers and assignment/lvalue semantics) | |||
| for the rest of the list... attend monday or see the notes posted afterwards :) | 21:20 | ||
| cotto_work | I'm looking forward to seeing the notes | 21:21 | |

| cotto_work | chromatic, was that Piumarta and Warth paper what you had in mind for a metaobject model? | 22:03 | |
| "Open, extensible object models" | 22:04 | ||

| purl | link is, like, dead | ||

| purl | whiteknight: I forgot link | ||
