PerlJam the longest token version of | isn't implemented yet AFAIK 02:09
so, | behaves much like ||
(possibly identically to || :-)
02:11 stephenos left
diakopter wayland76: eh? 02:15
ihrd Perljam: thank you. 02:17
Perljam: I think no one need bugreport about that? 02:18
TimToady considering it's one of pmichaud's major goals for the grant he just got... 02:19
pmichaud indeed, it is. 02:20
in rakudo you need to order your tokens manually if you want ltm semantics. 02:21
(that part of my grant isn't due/expected for about 2-3 months, though. I'm hoping to use TimToady's LTM as a starting point. :-)
TimToady STD has LTM but I'm rewriting it to be faster (hopefully) 02:22
pmichaud I figure TimToady got tired of waiting for me to start on my LTM version. Either that or he (probably correctly) surmises that I'll miss a few things in my implementation 02:23
ihrd O, great :) 02:24
TimToady I just figure I should try all the wrong ways first to see if any of them is faster than the right way. :) 02:27
meppl good night 02:28
pmichaud oh, and here I figured TMTOWTDI. :-P
I guess there's only one right WTDI, though. :-) 02:29
02:29 meppl left
pmichaud is TORWTDI one of our recognized acronyms? Maybe it should be :-) 02:29
doesn't sound as melodic as "Tim Toady", though. :-) 02:30
ihrd and python use it firts
pmichaud sounds more like something we'd see in a Godzilla flick.
"Godzilla meets Torwati" 02:31
PerlJam python's motto isn't "there's only one right way to do it", but rather it's more like "there's only one obvious way to do it" 02:32

chrisdolan I've got a good lead on perl#60456 (an assignment regression due to ObjectRef) but I'm having trouble figuring out the right patch to fix it 03:58
Anyone have a second to look at language/perl6/src/builtins/assign.pir with me?
pmichaud chrisdolan: I'm certain the problem is that a PGE::Match object doesn't fit Rakudo semantics (yet?) 03:59
so it's acting like a Parrot Hash 04:00
and a variety of other issues.
04:01 Patterner1 joined
chrisdolan Oh, I see. So, should I let it go for now, or is there something I can help with? 04:01
04:06 justatheory left
pmichaud let me see if I can do a quick fix. 04:10
chrisdolan I've got a workaround, so no need to rush. I've got time and energy, so I thought I'd dig in. 04:12
pmichaud yes, what's apparenty happening is that PGE::Match is getting Hash's Scalar method 04:13
thus whenever it gets assigned to a Scalar it's doing Hash conversion like things first.
04:13 Patterner left, Patterner1 is now known as Patterner
pmichaud otoh, the Scalar method for Hash is probably correct for PGE::Match, too. Checking. 04:14
[particle] pmichaud: is it a simple example to show chrisdolan how you determined that?
pmichaud [particle]: I'm guessing.
[particle] learning that technique would help him investigate further in the future 04:15
pmichaud [particle]: I haven't determined it at all -- I've just been seeing his messages and making educated guesses from that.
[particle] ah, ok
pmichaud I will say that using .WHAT as a diagnostic tool is often not safe.
because we have to make many of the non-Perl 6 types "lie" in order for them to act like Perl 6 types
[particle] yes, i figured getting the methods in vars and using =:=
pmichaud so, for example, if $x.WHAT comes back as 'Str', it could be either a Perl 6 Str or a Parrot String 04:16
chrisdolan Mmm, that's good to know. I had been trusting .WHAT
[particle] &x.Scalar =:= &y.Scalar for example
pmichaud I might implement a "REALLY" method for now 04:17
04:17 felipe joined
pmichaud or "REALWHAT" 04:17
[particle] ORLY?
chrisdolan :)
pmichaud 'YARLY'
[particle] perfect name.
chrisdolan And (please!) make it stringify to the longname instead of the shortname (please!) 04:18
pmichaud yes, of couse.
*course
pmichaud wishes he could come up with a clever interrogative pronoun for this.
[particle] the current interrogatives are already too clever by half 04:19
the relationship between WHAT and WHO isn't obvious 04:20
pmichaud ...and 'YARLY' isn't? ;-)
chrisdolan .PARROTCLASS would suffice (if boring...) 04:22
pmichaud .PARROTCLASS it is.
building, testing, rah rah rah 04:23
now, let's see what we get. 04:26
> my %a = 1..4; say %a.PARROTCLASS;
Perl6Hash
lambdabot <no location info>: parse error on input `='
pmichaud > my %a = 1..4; my $b = %a; say $b.PARROTCLASS; 04:27
ObjectRef -> Perl6Hash
lambdabot <no location info>: parse error on input `='
pmichaud > my $m = PGE::Match.new('foo'); say $m.PARROTCLASS; 04:28
ObjectRef -> Perl6Hash
lambdabot <no location info>: parse error on input `='
chrisdolan What do you get for 'say PGE::Match.new("").PARROTCLASS' ?
pmichaud PGE;Match, I bet
say PGE::Match.new('').PARROTCLASS;
PGE;Match
chrisdolan Useful. 04:29
[particle] indeed
pmichaud and, since PGE;Match isa Hash ( a Parrot Hash), it's getting Mapping's Scalar method 04:30
and Mapping's Scalar method converts self to a Perl6Hash before returning an ObjectRef 04:31
(because assigning a Mapping to a Scalar results in a reference to a (Perl6)Hash
chrisdolan So, PGE::Match just needs a Scalar() that returns itself, right? 04:32
pmichaud so, we want to prevent that from happening for PGE;Match objects
needs to return an ObjectRef to itself.
chrisdolan Oh, right
pmichaud just a sec, I can add that.
chrisdolan It has to return ObjectRef because PGE::Match is not a perl6 Object? 04:33
pmichaud ummmmm
because we use ObjectRefs for mutable types 04:34
because we use ObjectRefs for holding mutable types in Scalar containers.
chrisdolan Hmm, I'm going to have to think about that.
pmichaud it's a bit difficult to explain.
chrisdolan That's what source code is for. :-)
pmichaud but basically, if I have my $a = [1,2,3]; my $b = $a; then $b refers to the same object as $a 04:35
chrisdolan yup
pmichaud that means that $a and $b are ObjectRefs (each pointing to the same underlying Object)
chrisdolan Got it 04:36
pmichaud that's different for immutable values, such as Int or String
with my $b = $a -- we do the same operation (copy), but in the array case we're copying an ObjectRef while for immutable values we're copying the value 04:37
chrisdolan I've been doing too much Java lately where *everything* except primitives are effectively ObjectRefs
04:38 araujo joined
chrisdolan "copying an ObjectRef" -- because ObjectRef is shallowly immutable? 04:38
04:45 alc joined
pmichaud yes. 04:50
alas, I have to run for a bit -- I'll have to fix the PGE;Match Scalar method when I get back. 04:57

masak I don't understand the pattern involved in the 'is export' trait on some methods in S29 and not on others. 12:25
for example, Array::delete is export, but Array::exists isn't
neither is grep, first, pick, join, map on Array 12:26
masak guesses that 'is export' is simply missing from those methods, but would like to know for sure 12:27
diakopter @tell wayland76 no, I was politely suggesting a spello to TimToady 12:56
lambdabot Consider it noted.

pmichaud masak: some methods can't be exported, because the signature is different when called as a function versus when called as a method 15:20
masak aha.
pmichaud for example, @foo.grep(...) has a different signature than grep(..., @foo)
where as $num.abs() and abs($num) can have the same signature (the invocant is the first param) 15:21
[particle]1 might be nice to mention that in S29
pmichaud we (Rakudo PIR readers) can actually see this by what gets !EXPORTed in the various src/classes/*.pir files 15:22
masak aye.
but what about exist versus delete?
(I mean, apart from the fact they might be deprecated.)
ok, I think I could learn to recognize that.
[particle]1: noted.
pmichaud: ok. 15:23
nice.

pmichaud I don't know about delete versus exists. 15:53
moritz_ I think both should become an adverb in the end, no? 15:59
pmichaud If chrisdolan's patch for RT #57980 works, I am duly impressed.
yes, delete and exists are now both adverbs
[particle] pmichaud: did you look at his patch? 16:00
pmichaud [particle]: yes, that's what impresses me. I'm testing it now.
I don't think that would've ever occurred to me.
[particle] ah, ok. you'll beat me to it, then
pmichaud does anyone know (is there a way to find out) what flags/options parrot is being run with when being run from the harness? 16:06

literal you mean a list of functions in your script or in the language?

ZuLuuuuuu you mean processing that page to pull function information? 20:54

literal S29 lists Perl 6's builtin functions 20:54
moritz_ the POD might be easier to parse
literal: aye, but it's partly out-of-date and rather incomplete 20:55
ZuLuuuuuu hmmmmm
masak working on that.
literal moritz_: huh, if the synopsis is out of date, what's up to date?
masak literal: the other synopses are fine. S29 isn't.
literal I see
ZuLuuuuuu yes, I mean a way to pull the function names and body codes so that I can create an always-up-to-date reference automatically 20:56
masak it's a bit less official, because most of its information is derived from the other synopses.
moritz_ literal: larry's idea of the language most of the time isn't out-of-date
ruoso ZuLuuuuuu, Perl 6 has a different notion of built-in functions..
it's not something really special
literal I see
moritz_ ZuLuuuuuu: since there's no full implementation yet, you won't get a full list either
ZuLuuuuuu hmmmmm
ruoso in Perl 6, built-in functions are regular functions that happen to be there without any use 20:57
literal this lists some common ones: svn.pugscode.org/pugs/util/perl6.vim
ruoso er...
any "use" statement
built-in basically means: "loaded at prelude"
ZuLuuuuuu then it should be even easier actually to get the list of defined functions, if they are the same with user defined functions 20:58
maybe?
