k23z__ ah ok sorry
can I write some tests for Perl6 ?
01:50 quietfanatic joined
diakopter yes :) 01:50
you can have a commitbit to pugscode 01:51
k23z__ what tests could I write and what would I need ? (I have a compiled rakudo right here)
diakopter if you don't have one already
the tests are stored in pugscode svn
re "what tests could I write", that's a difficult question 01:52
it requires a certain familiarity with the language, or a precise reading of the Synopses (the language specification) 01:53
really, both
colomon Though you don't need to read the full spec, by any means -- just find a nice corner of it.
diakopter and a knowledge of how the test suite is organized, so you can determine that the feature for which you're considering writing tests hasn't already been thoroughly covered. 01:54
k23z__ do you have guides for new devs ? 01:58
so the road is read the synopsis, the perl6 book on github -> write tests ? 02:00
diakopter depends from where you're coming, and where you think you're going. :D (what languages you've used previously; what kinds of software you expect to write)
Perl 5 experience might help; it might not. The changes/additions (from 5->6) are numerous and varied in size (small,large) enough that existing Perl knowledge might hinder, since it might be more difficult to keep the languages distinct in your mind. 02:02
that's the case for me, anyway. It seems that those who have a thorough mastery of Perl 5 have a much easier time keeping them straight than someone like me, who isn't a Perl 5 expert. 02:04
TimToady we all already know where Perl 5 ought to be different :) 02:05
course, there are still parts of Perl 6 that ought to be different (I'm looking at you IO.pod) 02:07
diakopter k23z__: msg TimToady with your desired username & email address for pugscode svn (if you don't already have an account and you want to commit to the spec/testsuite) 02:08

colomon hey all.
PerlJam greetings colomon 02:44
lue hello o/
colomon submethods.t defines two classes in a... closure? in braces.
lives_ok {
class Foo { has $.foo_build; submethod BUILD() { $!foo_build++ } }
class Bar is Foo { has $.bar_build; submethod BUILD() { $!bar_build++ } }
}, "class definitions were parsed/run/compiled";
when the tests try to use those classes, they're not there. 02:45
any clue if they should be? Or are they local to those brackets?
lue maybe because it's contained in the braces. That's my first guess :)
PerlJam classes used to be package-scoped and I think they're lexical by default now.
colomon (If I take the braces away, the next twenty tests run fine...)

m-locks it's 5am, about my bedtime ;P
new_perl6_hacker Good night
TimToady I have to get up at 5am to see if I'm in a panel discussion...
Tene new_perl6_hacker: rakudo does not differentiate at all. Strings are strings, and there's no type for "a string that happens to incidentally look like Perl 6 code". 03:07
m-locks yoink ->
colomon new_perl6_hacker: but if you have { } inside a double-quote string, it is executed and the result inserted into the string.
PerlJam new_perl6_hacker: what makes you think rakudo does differentiate those things?
colomon++ ah, good point 03:08
lue I was going to program a little something featured in today's XKCD comic (xkcd.com/710/), but I think programming .odd and .even first'd be more fun
(and in P6 this time)
new_perl6_hacker @PerlJam how will then find what methods I can invoke on strings and what methods I can invoke code objects
Tene lue: make sure you generate graphviz output so you can graph your results. :) 03:09

new_perl6_hacker And I will be able to execute that as &"string" or $string = "some code" ; &$string 03:12
TimToady not like that 03:13
Tene lue: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/comm...0-no27.svg looks like it was generated with graphviz.
new_perl6_hacker: if you have code in a string that you want to execute, you'll need to use the 'eval' function, which invokes the compiler on the text.
TimToady you have to work harder to do symbolic lookups in Perl 6
but then there's no strict refs anymore 03:14
new_perl6_hacker Then all strings must ideally have 'eval' invokable on them 03:15
TimToady eval is never ideal :)
lue Tene: aah. I thought you were talking about P6 testing results :)
Tene new_perl6_hacker: That's completely true, in exactly the same way as "all files can have the perl6 compiler run on them" 03:16

Tene new_perl6_hacker: No problem. Was there a specific task you were trying to perform or problem you were trying to solve, or just general curiosity? 03:18
new_perl6_hacker I was looking at metaprogramming aspects
reflection basically 03:19

new_perl6_hacker But the example quoted by PerlJam earlier didn't show a 'eval' method, is that in the base class of string 03:20
Tene You keep talking about classes. It's a function, not a method. 03:21
PerlJam new_perl6_hacker: What other languages are you familiar with?
new_perl6_hacker Ruby and Python
colomon Tene: I think we added an eval method a while back, too. 03:22

it's a closure from whence the object cometh
lue 'tis a closure whencefrom thy object cometh. (Old English translation free of charge :D ) 03:34
new_perl6_hacker :) just got a feeling that all programs(The mail program) go into a eval function inside the compiler. 03:36
*The main program* 03:37
Tene That's right.
The compiler reads the program text into a string, invokes the compiler on it to get back a Code object, and then invokes that Code object.
new_perl6_hacker This is great, so we basically have a compiler which we can use any where inside our program. This is a killer feature :) 03:38
lue Our main goal is having the P6 interpreter run itself (be written in P6 code). 03:40
The key, IMO, is recursive definition :)
TimToady well, it was a killer feature in Perl 3 or so
colomon and in Lisp, Ruby, etc. 03:41
still, it's an awesome feature.
TimToady but usually it's an escape valve indicating a missing feature elsewhere
we treat BEGIN the same say 03:43
03:43 Sarten-X joined
PerlJam Why do we think all languages must be self-describable? 03:44

quester wonders what class 42 really is... 12:34
masak my talk is online now. it's linked at the bottom of feather.perl6.nl/~masak/ 12:35
thanks to all the people on the channel who helped yesterday with the slides :) 12:36
mberends rakudo: say 42.WHAT # for quester
p6eval rakudo 974d9a: OUTPUT«Int()␤»
colomon rakudo: say PARROT(42) 12:37
p6eval rakudo 974d9a: OUTPUT«Integer␤»
colomon rakudo: say PARROT(1+41)

arnsholt Ah, there are some issues with augmenting classes that come from Parrot, no?
colomon Might be more accurate to simple say there are issues with classes that come from Parrot. 12:39
I don't know if the augmenting is bad too or just a window into the problems.
masak the latter, methinks. 12:40
quester mberends, colomon, masak: I think I've seen augments in some of the Rakudo internals. Hmm... can anyone suggest a good way of converting Integer to Int offhand? 12:41
masak quester: what you're seeing is some kind of Parrot/Rakudo discrepancy that shouldn't really be visible. 12:42
colomon rakudo: say pir::box__PI(42)
p6eval rakudo 974d9a: OUTPUT«42␤»
colomon rakudo: say PARROT( pir::box__PI(42)) 12:43

colomon blast, that doesn't help.
quester rakudo: pir::box__PI(42).perl.even.say;
p6eval rakudo 974d9a: OUTPUT«Method 'even' not found for invocant of class 'String'␤current instr.: '_block14' pc 29 (EVAL_1:0)␤»
quester ...String...? 12:44
colomon .perl returns Str
well, String maybe.
you're finding all the cracks this morning.
quester colomon: Thank you. Brain fail.
colomon and my fuddled brain isn't remembering how to work around them.
masak quester: 'String' is also a Parrot type. 12:45
quester rakudo: "42".even.say; 12:46

quester masak: Isnt Perl6Str supposed to be, um... hiddien away inside of Rakudo, too? 12:47
uniejo rakudo: say (+pir::box__PI(42)).WHAT
quester s/hiddien/hidden/
p6eval rakudo 974d9a: OUTPUT«Num()␤»
masak quester: yes, I think so.
quester: sometimes error messages leak through.
colomon rakudo: say PARROT(42.Num.Int) 12:48
p6eval rakudo 974d9a: OUTPUT«Int␤»
colomon aha!
rakudo: augment class Int { method even { ? ( self % 2 ) } }; 42.Num.Int.even.say 41.Num.Int.even.saty 12:49

TimToady good morning
colomon So augment works, but .even is backwards.
TimToady: o/
TimToady who's winning?
pmichaud hello, #perl6 12:50
colomon \o
masak pmichaud! \o/
TimToady hah, I beat pmichaud
quester colomon: Thank you. Err... yes, that would be another brain failure on my part, sorry...
masak pmichaud, TimToady: all the peeps here say OH HAI
you'll soon be on-screen, I expect.
pmichaud OH HAI PEEPS!
TimToady OH HAI PEEPS!!!
pmichaud (hah, I beat TimToady) 12:51
TimToady hah, beat pmichaud++ again on !!!
