rgs question: 13:57
X.contains(any @$_)
that means that X contains every element of @$_ ? or at least one ? 13:58
moritz_ what's the semantics of method contains?
rgs X is a hash
moritz_ S29 doesn't list "contains" as a method 13:59
anyway, the test $x == any(@list) will succeed if $x is equal to at least one of @list 14:00
so if contains() doesn't accept a junction, it will be rendered to X.contains(first elem) or X.contains(second elem) or ... 14:01
rgs moritz_: I got that code straight from the S03 you pointed me to on P5P :)
moritz_ at least that's my understanding of authreading
rgs: damned ;)
rgs ok
moritz_ i think it will succeed if it contains one of @$_

lambdabot Title: IRC log for #perl6, 2007-11-29
moritz_ dlocaus: ah, I see, thanks
dlocaus I used to be good at table tennis. My GF tried to get me interested in "tennis", but I kept on putting a spin on the tennis ball.
apparently that's very bad sportsmanship..
moritz_ ;)
dlocaus she kept on wondering why all her "return" hits were flying everywhere. :) 17:37
pugs_svn r18968 | moritz++ | [irclog] (hopefully) fixed next/prev. day links 17:38
moritz_ dlocaus: I noticed that the effect of spin is different in table tennis and tennis...
table tennis: the angle between ball and racket changes 17:39
tennis: just the trajectory of the ball changes
dlocaus fglock: I've been scratching my head about something. KP6 uses an AST to convert the perl6 code to language "X", one of which will be parrot. KP6 can also use the AST to convert the perl6 code to perl6. But, why are we writing the backend for the perl6 language? I understand that it so that we can test out the compilation, but if that is the case, then can we just use the perl6::(insert perl5 module name here) instead of re-writi
fglock dlocaus: we need the "perl6 backend" in order to convert back AST to source code, 17:40
dlocaus moritz_: I wish I knew, all I know about physics is imperical evidence and not to try and not to play chicken with an 18 wheeler truck.
fglock for example, for implementing macros
dlocaus "back AST"?
fglock AST back to source code 17:41
and for debugging, too
moritz_ think of it as B::Deparse 17:43
fglock yes
dlocaus but if we are depending on parrot to do some of the really dirty work for us, namespacing, inheritiance, binding issues, why are we doing the backend? If we are just trying to translate the backend do we really need the runtime engine? 17:44
moritz_ one of the goals of kp6 is to stay portable 17:46
fglock hmm - kp6 is perl6-in-perl6, not perl6-in-parrot
dlocaus sorry, /if we are just tyring to translate the backend/if we are just trying to translate perl6/
fglock but yes, the kp6 side of the parrot runtime should be really simple 17:47
if parrot does the dirty work 17:48
dlocaus Isn't there a perl5 project to write a perl5 compiler in parrot? 17:49
[particle] kicks a dead ponie
dlocaus opps.
moritz_ that was ponie, and discontinued some years ago
fglock dlocaus: yes, there have been more than one
PerlJam dlocaus: feel free to revive the ponie if you want :-) 17:50
dlocaus PerlJam: sorry, I don't have enough time to try and even pull that off :). Its taken me quite a while, before I could even ask intelligent questions in KP6 :)
fglock i've got a secret plan to write a perl5 compiler using kp6 :P
hmm - i can't commit 17:51
dlocaus I hate this bootstraping compiler idea, it is so darn hard to wrap my mind around it. 17:52
fglock dlocaus: have you checked out MiniPerl6? it's much simpler
dlocaus No, a few days ago, I finally had that lightbulb go off on KP6. 17:53
fglock dlocaus: can you commit? I'm getting an error here
dlocaus Which raises another question, why did you use a "tree" model to build the $::(*) objects, and not something like "Class::Prototype"
one second, trying
17:54 TJCRI left
fglock dlocaus: because I need the algorithm to be portable (to C for example) 17:54

fglock yes (the runtime)

EWWW
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lasagna
The word "lasagna" is derived from the Greek word "lasanon" meaning chamber pot.[3][4] The word was later borrowed by the Romans as "lasanum" to mean cooking pot. The Italians then used the word to refer to the dish in which what is now known as lasagna is made.

ie, the really wrong way to do it, but it works? 18:43
moritz_ patch the parser?
[particle] if(0) { commented out parse-able source }
dlocaus I want to see if there is a way that I could embed the perl6 code we compile into the perl5 code as comments, but since it is "newline" independent, I need some way of hiding it out.. 18:44

dlocaus pmurias: Sometimes, I get confused by why something is happening, then I convert the perl6 code into the ::DISPATCH(...) mess, and read what is going on from that presepective 19:56
The problem is I end up having to clean up the perl5 ::DISPATCH into something "simpiler"
it would be good to have the perl6 code or something of that nature, to "document" what is going on. 19:57

dlocaus In contrast <ident> !~~ ^ 'moose' $ would allow any identifier containing "moose" as long as it is not equal to "moose". For clarity it might be good to use extra brackets: 20:03
How does that work?
20:04 jisom joined
dlocaus what about ^ 'moose' $ says "the id can contain moose, but cannot be /^moose$/? 20:04
pugs_svn r18975 | fglock++ | [kp6] more Array x List 20:05
[particle] ^ and $ anchor the pattern 20:06
...to the beginning and end of the string
dlocaus but what enforces the requirement that it must have "moose" in it? 20:07
[particle] so, ^ 'moose' $ only matches a string with the five letters: moose
dlocaus but for the rule <ident> !~~ ^ 'moose' $ 20:08
would it match "ThisIs_moose"
[particle] !~~ is the opposite of ~~
dlocaus right, so it should be that the rule <ident> !~~ ^ 'moose' $ 20:09
would match everything that does not match in perl5: /^moose$/ correct?
$ident !~ /^moose$/;
[particle] (phone) 20:10
TimToady it also requires the match of an identifier, and the !~~ is a submatch anchored to the beginning and end of that identifier 20:11
even if embedded in a longer match
dlocaus I thought white space was "for appearances" only if not specified as being required? 20:13
pmurias S05: 495
dlocaus IE, if it was present, it doesn't necessary have to match something
pmurias dlocaus: yes
dlocaus But, TimToady said that it requires the match of the identifier. 20:14
pmurias !~~ takes <ident> as the left parameter 20:15
dlocaus so
<ident> !~~ ^ 'moose' $
would be in perl5 $ident !~ /^moose$/ && $ident =~/\b?moose\b?/;
20:16 Limbic_Region joined
pmurias dlocaus: ident is a subrule 20:16
Tene dlocaus: yes, that would also match identifiers not containing "moose" at all.
TimToady more like $ident =~ /^([a-zA-Z]\w*)$/ and $1 ne 'moose'
dlocaus but the documetnation said that it must have "moose" in it 20:17
TimToady the !~~ negates that
dlocaus that was the documentation for that.
In contrast <ident> !~~ ^ 'moose' $ would allow any identifier containing "moose" as long as it is not equal to "moose".
'would allow any identifier containing 'moose' as long as it [the identifier] is not equal to moose 20:18
pmurias wouldn't it be more like /(?!moose)(??{$ident})/
TimToady except the lookahead isn't necessarily anchored the same
Tene pmurias: that would disallow "moosables"
TimToady dlocaus: yes, it allows "schmoose", "moosed", etc, just not "moose" 20:19
pmurias Tene: sorry
Tene TimToady: but wouldn't it also allow "orange", "water", "xxxxxxx", etc?
Identifiers that don't contain 'moose' at all?
TimToady certainly, it allows those too
Tene dlocaus is asserting that it claims to only allow identifiers that contain 'moose', or can be read as such. 20:20
TimToady the sentence is not intended to be exclusive
dlocaus Tene: I am not asserting that, the documentation says that. That was a quote from the documetnation
Tene dlocaus: the text is ambiguous about exclusivity. 20:21
dlocaus ah, I get it now.
TimToady the "In contrast" says it's to be read in the context of the previous
pugs_svn r18976 | fglock++ | [kp6] yet more Array x List 20:22
pmurias wouldn't it be better to just remove the <<containing "moose">> part
TimToady but it could certainly be clarified
no, because then it wouldn't say what I want it to say either
but I will fix it
dlocaus so: 'would allow any identifier containing "moose" as' 20:23
should be changed to: 'would allow any identifier (even one containing "moose") as long as it does not match /^moose$/
Limbic_Region TimToady - 1 year and 26 days until Xmas? 20:25

TimToady productizing the whole thing will take a goodly long time. 20:32
dlocaus "productizing"?
PerlJam Having a usable-in-production perl6 is a good first step :) 20:33
TimToady making it slick enough that you don't have to have a Masters in Sysadmin to install.
PerlJam TimToady: Having adequate documentation to fend off "I think X should be in core" people would be good too. 20:34
dlocaus I didn't know there was a degree for System administration, I always thought good sys admin's were forged.
PerlJam dlocaus: mastery is when they call you a bofh 20:35
Limbic_Region PerlJam - better yet - "here is the spec and tests - write your own implementation with whatever you want core and it is still perl 6"
pugs_svn r18978 | fglock++ | [kp6] t/kp6/69-list-binding.t resolved
PerlJam Limbic_Region: as far as productizing goes, I think we should build the first few perl6 distributions. perl6-web, perl6-database, perl6-kitchen-sink, etc. 20:36
dlocaus for dev.pugscode.org/browser/v6/v6-Kind...Grammar.pm 20:37

pmurias i'm not familiar with perl5 internals 21:10
TimToady you don't want to know
21:10 neuromu joined
[particle] ^--- jedi mind trick 21:10
TimToady if you even glance at toke.c in a mirror, it will drive you mad
pmurias :)
even if you are mad already?
dlocaus I thought perl comments were stripped from the dynamically generated byte code. 21:11
TimToady if anything could make you madder, it would be toke.c
pmurias got to try ;)
dlocaus is there an svn server for perl5 that I can take a peek at? 21:12
TimToady dlocaus: sure, but it's got to remember the current line number for error messages somehow
and #line is not treated like an ordinary comment
dlocaus I seam to recall that perl5 was on perforce?
I wonder what other wunderous perls are in toke.c?
TimToady rsync -avz rsync://ftp.linux.activestate.com/perl-current/ . 21:13
jjore-m dlocaus, if you look for "intuit" you'll see some neat stuff.
pmurias dlocaus: #line is documented in "Programming Perl"
TimToady let's put it this way. there are 7 or 8 different ways a lexer can "cheat". toke.c does them all.
pmurias page 590 in the polish edition (althought i doubt you have that one) 21:14
dlocaus I'm looking in the English Cammel book (US engish if there is a distinction) 21:15
TimToady each of the ways to cheat individually screws with your mind, and toke.c intermeshes them all simultaneously.
and above that the compiler cheats several more ways, just to make sure the compilation looks to be done in "one pass", while propagating context information every whichaway. 21:16
dlocaus its 618 in the English Camel book. 21:17
that is really intersting.
TimToady not to mention building the execution order on the fly
so that by the time you get to the end of, say, a BEGIN block, it's ready to execute already. 21:18
dlocaus oohh... I should have just downloaded a compressed version of it.... 21:19
TimToady s/you get/the parser gets/
the -z does compression on the rsync already
and this way you get "bleadperl". :)
pmurias OT: does anyone remember what was the data stucture for geting the number of elements in a given range (1..interger) called,it worked by storing the number of elements up to powers of or similarly 21:20
dlocaus oh geez.
what a copyright statement on toke.c
1991-2007 21:21
fglock_ home & 21:22
TimToady Yeesh. All I can say is, it's a good thing I was smarter when I was younger, or we'd never have got Perl 5. :) 21:23
pmurias * structure,integer,powers of 2
TimToady: but now you're wiser and we will have Perl 6 ;)
dlocaus wow, the perl5 code looks very nice. Well documented and formated 21:24
TimToady well, dunno about wiser--more treacherous, anyway. 21:25
dlocaus: that part wasn't my fault :)
as in "Old age and treachery will overcome youth and skill." 21:26
dlocaus S_incline here it is
perl has really spoiled me. 21:27
I can barely remember how annoymous variables work in C 21:28
moritz_ with malloc ;)
TimToady they actually work? neat!
[particle] it's a twelve step process
TimToady Step 1: admit you have a problem... 21:29
moritz_ Step 2: install perl
dlocaus its stuff like this: if (strnEQ(s, "line", 4))
where is "line" stored? on the stack? in some constants area?
TimToady up to the compiler 21:30
dlocaus :)
TimToady a sufficiently smart compiler might turn that into if (s[0] == 'l' && s[1] == 'i' etc
dlocaus yea,.. and if you modify it what happens?
TimToady modify what? 21:31
dlocaus well
strnEQ(char *s, char *s2, int ) {
strcpy('weee',s2);
}
allbery_b gcc will stow "line" in read-only storage 21:32
unless told otherwise
dlocaus c knows about read-only storage?
TimToady but in the good old days it was just "Doctor, it hurts when I do this..."
moritz_ dvorak: the question is if your assembler knows about it ;) 21:33
allbery_b dlocaus: it does have "const"
moritz_ s/dvorak/dlocaus/ # sorry
allbery_b and the type of a string literal is (const char *)
dlocaus I last worked with C about 15+ years ago.
allbery_b the standard allows it to put those in r/o, and gcc does so these days
dlocaus I can read it, and I know I've shot myself in the fut with it.
I thought it was quite possible to just confuse C to death. 21:34
allbery_b (flip side, it's entirely possible for the compiler to recognize that a string constant with NUL will fit in a register and compare it *that* way)
it's not so much that you can confuse C as that you can confuse yourself (or others reading your code)
dlocaus is a bit more used to a flakey assembler. 21:35
allbery_b then again, that is true of certain other languages as well :>
moritz_ ORLY? ;)
dlocaus When I was programming C, I would do amusing things like create variables on the stack, and then later use free( stackVaraible) to release it. 21:36
pmurias dlocaus: what was the point?
dlocaus no point, it was just a lousy bug for me to hunt down.
which is one of the reasons, I REALLY like perl. 21:37
and if the stack ptr was high enough when it was created, sometimes, the bug didn't express itself.
or until much later, when the stack got over written.
moritz_ you can use valgrind these days to find such bugs 21:38
TimToady well, in general C is a lot of accidents waiting to happen simultaneously
dlocaus The problem was I passed the pointer around so many times, I forgot that the original structure was allocated from the stack.
-oopps-
OT: My all time favorite bug... well, there is 2 of them. 1. I accidently double incremented on a circular loop pointer. Thus, on even valued circular loops, the code would hang, on odd valued circular loops, the code would work fine. My 2nd all time favorite bug... well, I forgot to throatal the email for some warnings, and after a major crash the code dumped 900 emails into my bosses cell phone. 21:40
TimToady you mean that wasn't on purpose!?!? 21:42
dlocaus the emails? yeah... it was funny "How the HELL am I going to delete these emails?" 21:43
needless to say the snickering got back to the other end of the line.
I think it would be a good email service to offer. To throatal email for people. 21:44
Send an email to [email@hidden.address] with subject "[white list] ...", then throtal the email to that account
it would forwarded the email to an address predetermined by the user.
Since, many cell phones have a 10 or 5 cent fee, this would be a good service. And backed up emails could be read on line or just mass deleted. It would be a limited market though 21:45

dlocaus my brain is out of commission... I'll cya guys alter 22:11
