Add $?DISTRIBUTION (#2574)

Add a variable to give module authors a way to access *any* file in their distribution as well as the distribution meta data.
It might seem like `$?FILE` can provide everything required, but some `CompUnit::Repository` may not have an e.g. on-disk representation of the files listed in the meta data -- this allows IO access using the file names as listed in the meta data regardless of the `CompUnit::Repository` that loaded it.
Some uses:
  * `say "Version: " ~ $?DISTRIBUTION.meta<ver>`
  * `$?DISTRIBUTION.content('lib/Any/Module/In/Distribution.pm6').open.slurp(:close)`
  * `$?DISTRIBUTION.content('resources/libraries/p5helper').open.slurp(:close)` ( similar to `%?RESOURCES<libraries/p5helper>.IO.open.slurp(:close)` )		 05:07

robertle I totally don't understand these build failures, it is almost as if the boxes on which I can build are different from the auto-builders... 11:23

AlexDaniel robertle: also it feels like we didn't have these issues previously? 11:46
I wonder if it's something that changed in rakudo or if it's the machines themselves that are now for some reason different? 11:47

camelia (*,)
lizmat should that work on a type object?? ^^^
m: role A { multi method a() { 42 }; multi method a() { 42 } }; dd A.a 13:20
camelia 42
lizmat m: role A { multi method a() { 42 }; multi method a(--> Int:D) { 42 } }; dd A.a
camelia Ambiguous call to 'a(A: )'; these signatures all match:
:(A: *%_)
:(A: *%_ --> Int:D)
in block <unit> at <tmp> line 1
lizmat feels to me both should be giving the ambiguous call error ? 13:21
nine robertle: spesh bugs can be sensitive to timing since spesh runs in a separate thread
timotimo you can use MVM_SPESH_BLOCKING to prevent timing sensitivity from being a problem 13:23
instead of shoving work off to another thread and going on with its life, it'll wait for the other thread to finish that particular piece of work
i like using it when i run benchmarks 13:32

Introduce R:I:ImplementationDetail role

Classes marked with this role can not be instantiated with .new, and will stringify to a message indicating that they're a Rakudo specific implementation detail.

AlexDaniel lizmat: what about github.com/rakudo/rakudo/issues/13...-420647471 ? 17:36
I find “isms” really weird :)

lizmat AlexDaniel: well, it's been documented since June, and it's been in 2 R* releases 18:38
I'm a bit reluctant to change it (again) now, as I want to use it in my P5 modules...
which I now more or less can, because it is in 2 R* releases 18:39
AlexDaniel lizmat: yeah but maybe we can have an alias?
lizmat I'm neutral on that, perhaps jnthn has a better opinion on that 18:41
just to be clear: I wanted something that would allow some p5isms to be valid if needed, e.g. in conjunction with P5 modules
hence I called it "use p5isms" originally, which Zoffix then suggested we'd generalize 18:42
the $a=~$b case is different in that it is, in and of itself, valid Perl 6 code 18:43
19:19 Ven`` left
lizmat is it me, or is -I. currently broken ? 19:31
given a Foo.pm6 in the current dir, "perl6 -I. -e 'use Foo'" fails for me with: 19:32
===SORRY!===
Cannot resolve caller new(IO::Path:U: Any:U, :CWD(Str)); none of these signatures match:
if the module doesn't exist, it fails properly 19:33
if it is in another directory, it all works ok: seems to be limited to using "-I.", at least for me 19:34
ugexe pointed out I probably had a META6.json file in the dir of -I , and he was right 20:05

Add "addendum" to X::Method::NotFound

Add specific info for Foo ~~ (10 => Bar)

In response to R#2512
   $ perl6 -e 'Any ~~ (10 => "ten")'
   No such method '10' for invocant of type 'Any'
   Did you try to smartmatch against a Pair specifically? If so,
   then the key of the Pair should be a valid method name, not '10'

gfldex m: my int @a = 1,2,3; say @a[1].WHAT; 21:59
camelia (Int)
gfldex is there a way to provide int literals?
or am I literally stuck with Int? :-> 22:00
lizmat gfldex: what do you mean with int literals? what is your desired output ? 22:04
gfldex lizmat: I would like to get (int) on @[1].WHAT. 22:06
lizmat aahhh... ok
that would sorta require for .WHAT to become a real method, which it isn't 22:08
I guess the basic issue is that even if a routine has --> int in its signature 22:11
what comes out of the sub, is hllized:
m: sub a(--> int) { my int $a = 42 }; use nqp; dd nqp::objprimspec(a) # should be 1
camelia 0
lizmat afk for some r+r for the last 48 minutes of the year& 22:12
