frew Hey all 04:16
I was looking into helping out with some stuff
and I wanted to make sure my test was right because everything seems to fail it
Specifically in TASKS for S29 it says that positional args should work for lots of builtins 04:17
but they don

masak non-locking reading of individual characters: will such a thing be implementation-specific? 12:14
jnthn masak: non-locking? 12:16
Or non-blocking?
masak jnthn: the latter.
like $INKEY in QBasic.
moritz_ masak: just write it in S16, then everybody has to implement it :-) 12:17
masak moritz_: good idea. :) I wish I were that bold.
jnthn masak: There should be a standard way to do it in Perl 6.
How implementations implement it is up to them.
masak jnthn: really? that makes me very glad.
jnthn I woulda thought so.
I think it's possible on most platforms... 12:18
AIO and all that.
masak right.
suggestions for a reasonable syntax?
12:18 rob joined 12:19 rob is now known as Guest16694

moritz_ masak: $STDIN.getc(:!block) 12:21
masak moritz_: you mean, $*IN, of course.
moritz_ erm, yes :)
masak maybe something positive instead of :!block ? 12:22
jnthn :async?
moritz_ where it would just return an empty string, and on error it would fail()
jnthn is horrid at syntax
irclogs?
purl, irclogs?
moritz_ no purl in #perl6 12:23
irc.pugscode.org
jnthn ooh, channel fail
12:23 mberends joined
masak jnthn: not at all. it's a feature that purl isn't here. 12:24
the logs are in the topic.
masak likes :async
jnthn masak: More of a fail on my part for thinking I was on #parrot 12:25
mberends looking at keyboard interactive code on various systems, it is definitely platform specific 12:26
moritz_ perl has a long history of abstracting away such things
mberends ja, perl5 has modules that automagically map to the underlying drivers 12:28
masak nevertheless, I'm pleasantly surprised to hear that it'll be available in core. that will surely help when writing the kind of programs that need async getc. 12:33
jnthn masak: Just because I'd expect it to be, doesn't mean it will be. ;-) 12:34
pmurias hi rindolf 12:37
rindolf pmurias: what's up?
jnthn masak,moritz_: Which one of you was it that did the Perl 6 prelude, or who I need permission from to do stuff with it, or a commit bit? 12:38
As in, the one for Rakudo...
moritz_ jnthn: it was me...
jnthn OK
moritz_ jnthn: you need a gmail email adress, then I can give you commit bit 12:39
jnthn I'm pondering starting to fill out the array/hash roles
jnthnwrthngtn
I can't just call them Array and stuff as it'll conflict.
Maybe P6PArray etc?
But it'd mean I can actually get typed arrays working somewhat. 12:40
12:40 iblechbot left
jnthn And then when the prelude "goes official" they can just be renamed and become the real ones. 12:40
Does this sound OK to you?
moritz_ sure 12:41
jnthn: ok, you are a project admin now... code.google.com/p/rakudo-prelude/source/checkout for instructions
jnthn moritz_: Thanks. Going for lunch/walk now, will play later. :-) 12:42
pmurias rindolf: i'm studing CS now; smop now has basic p5 interop
rindolf pmurias: ah. 12:43
moritz_ jnthn: have fun... I'll be offline during the weekend, feel free to do with that repo whatever you want 12:44
pmurias rindolf: i find the "what's up?" question too generic to anwser accuratly ;) 12:45
rindolf pmurias: OK. 12:46
I'm trying to optimise File-Find-Object now.
jnthn moritz_: I'll try not to do anything too awful. ;-) 12:47
moritz_ jnthn: it keeps track of the revision... I can always restore the previous state :-)

PerlJam mberends: why build parrot each time? 14:42
pmichaud what am I supposed to be looking for/at ? 14:43
mberends sorry, the code is incompatible with latest parrot/rakudo. the looking for/at was that some later parrots cause that PGE;Match message mentioned yesterday. 14:49
pmichaud okay, I can look at that. 14:50
mberends with r35309 (pre rvar2) it shows you Pod::Parser running some tests of pod6 in Rakudo 14:51
that $*ERR sure would help troubleshooting on latest rakudo... 14:52

mberends oops, error has changed. I hope it runs with the suggested r35308 though, did you try that also? 15:01
pmichaud I can run it with r35308; what am I looking for there? 15:02
15:06 km2 left 15:07 ruoso left
mberends The immediate goal was to reproduce the PGE;Match under your eyes, but the latest error is different so I'm failing on that. The broader goal was to show you some Pod6 tools that masak and I plan to beef up for his U4X project. Did you ever see a prove and Test::Harness written in Perl 6 before? 15:09
pmichaud no, haven't seen those. 15:10
I'm waaaaay behind on being able to review things :-|
I don't know why you're getting the latest error, it looks like it should be okay to me. 15:11
(but haven't looked in great detail)
mberends I cannot suggest other actions right now. thanks for looking, and I'll try to get that PGE;Match for you another way. TiMBuS may have spotted a grammar / regex bug for me this morning. Again thanks, I'll stop distracting you for today. 15:13
pmichaud I'm still planning to work on $*ERR this morning. 15:14

TimToady std won't tell you if there is a method of that name :)
p6eval std 25009: OUTPUTĀ«00:05 84mā¤Ā» 17:50
szabgab so the last one is a mistake ?
TimToady std: my %h; %h{'a'}.foo.bar.baz
p6eval std 25009: OUTPUTĀ«00:05 87mā¤Ā»
TimToady see, legal
szabgab ah
TimToady std is just syntax, with occasional semantic checking 17:51
szabgab ok and what about exixts %h{'a'} ?
should that, err exist ?
TimToady it can tell you that a function is unrecognized only because the def is required to exist by CHECK time
methods bind later than CHECK time
there is no exists macro anymore 17:52
because it would have to be a macro
likewise delete
szabgab so I understand that the spec test is incorrect then
TimToady yes, it's incorrect 17:53
szabgab thanks 17:54
TimToady assuming there's a .exists method, it would not be incorrect if it actually did what the comment said
that is, if the comma were a colon
szabgab oh, now I got confused 17:56
TimToady exists $x, $y is a function call
exists $x: $y is a method call
szabgab so is there going to be an .exists metho for the hashes or an exists function in main?
TimToady equiv to $x.exists($y)
there will not be an exists function
if there's a method, it should probably be .contains 17:57
szabgab so currntly we don't know yet how to test if a certain key is available in a hash as it is not speced yet? 17:58
TimToady but we're trying to discourage the method interface in favor of .{$y}:exists
:exists is specced 17:59
in fact, STD.pm uses it, and :delete too
they're just modified subscripting operations, after all 18:00
18:00 schmalbe joined
szabgab so I should write %h :exists 'a' ? 18:00
TimToady no, the whole idea is to write the subscript the same way always
%h<a>:exists
%h{'a'}:exists
you can even do %h{'a'} :exists :delete 18:01
szabgab and delete ? the same ?
which would do what ? 18:02
TimToady delete the element, and return true if there was one
szabgab ah, and what is :delete along returns ?
the old value ? 18:03
TimToady they're just named arguments to the subscript operator, so order doesn't matter
what :delete returns by defualt
*default
just as in p5
szabgab so in case are :exists and :delete adverbs or they just look like adverbs? 18:05
to my untrained eyes ?
TimToady they're adverbs syntactically
the compiler may choose to treat them specially though
but they should work as if subscript were just multi dispatched based on presence/absence of named args 18:06
you should be able to write your own multi subscript operator with additional modifiers, and it should just work 18:09
szabgab Oh I am just trying to use what is already there :-)
TimToady or not, as the case may be :)
