j4jackj i'm addicted to caffeine. 00:04
at least it isn't an opiate, but as you know, caffeine is dependence forming. i honestly don't remember the last time i tried to stop and succeeded. 00:05
[Coke] drinks a Coke Zero.
it's also got documented benefits. :)
j4jackj [Coke]: I assume you mean caffeine 00:06

j4jackj It's got documented benefits, but it has made my life shit in that the few people I can sympathise with about addiction are addicted to some of the worst drugs (H, crack, crank, etc) 00:06
It's largely a case of "I don't want to be in this shitty position" 00:07
All addictions have a documented harm to society. Mine, caffeine, is fulfilled in ways that make my mum cringe -> harm to society

tony-o i had caffeine withdrawal in the desert during weapons training, that wasn't fun 00:10

tony-o i went blind for 6 hours or so 00:15
leont knows a perl hacker who uses powder caffeine, typically won't get out of bed before it has kicked in 00:18
j4jackj tony-o: suriesly? 00:22
tony-o j4jackj: yea 00:24
j4jackj tony-o: did you explain to your dictatorial idiotic overlords that you were suffering from caffeine withdrawals 00:25
tony-o they gave me two big caffeine pills and i was fine for the rest of the 5 months
j4jackj: i didn't know what was going on
j4jackj lawl
tony-o i was awake inside but i went blind relatively quickly and then slowly lost motor skills and they took me to a corpsman who gave me two caffeine pills
j4jackj tony-o: that... isn't caffeine withdrawal 00:26
sounds like you were doing craq
tony-o definitely wasn't doing that
you have me a little paranoid now 00:27
j4jackj why?
sounds like someone spiked something
tony-o: so, was everything blurred, or was your vision a nothingness? 00:28
tony-o it went through blurry to nothingness
as far as i could tell, i was up 18 hours usually over the course of nights 00:29
j4jackj sleep deprivation
tony-o and there isn't much light in a desert
j4jackj you shouldn't have been in the army
tony-o i was in the Marine Corps, i was fine aside from the one time

masak: I meant something like "lose an argument", "Become offended", "Change your mind", "Become convinced", etc.
moritz none of them are remotely like dying, IMHO 09:01
nine Does anyone here know a bit about XS?
moritz though people more attached to their opinions might feel differently
nine: only that it's supposed to be horrible :-) 09:02

nine I golfed my Inline::Perl5 problem down to pure Perl 5/C. Just posted the question to #perl, but I don't have high hopes of getting help... 09:02
moritz nine: you can try asking on perlmonks 09:03
virtualsue stackoverflow is my favourite 09:04
post it somewhere less ephemeral.
moritz and then maybe post the link in #p5p, there are some folks there who know XS, I hope :-) 09:05
09:05 DarthGandalf joined
nine Ok, signing up to stackoverflow. Thanks for the suggestions! 09:06
virtualsue i haven’t look at it since 2007 but i might be able to dredge it back up
xs that is
nine The following test program segfaults in S_mg_findext_flags: gist.github.com/niner/493268db5ba449caef49
When I change "zero" to "main::zero" it works. Does anyone see something obviously wrong in my program?
lizmat nine: nothing I can see, but then my only XS experience has been a 3 line function 09:08
nine lizmat: thanks for having a look anyway.
09:09 dalek joined, ChanServ sets mode: +v dalek 09:10 telex joined
danaj_ nine: there is a #xs channel on irc.perl.org. There are some very knowledgeable people there, including bulk88 who is often online. 09:23
virtualsue i still find it surprising that this channel isn’t on irc.perl.org 09:24
masak virtualsue: historical reasons.
virtualsue: I think it was created here by the pugs people in early 2005? 09:25
moritz my back-imported logs go back to Feb 2005 09:26
masak yeah, just checked :)
<feb> autrijus: you're welcome
virtualsue i don’t doubt that. none of that answers ‘why’, but it’s not important
masak ^ first IRC-logged thing ever
virtualsue: true, it doesn't. 09:27
lizmat perhaps freenode had better connectivity in TW then? 09:28
moritz virtualsue: pugs came from the haskell comunity, which was based in freenode
masak oh, that probably factored into it, yes.
moritz also, breaking out of the echo chamber
masak in some weird hard-to-pin-down way, it feels oddly appropriate that #perl6 is off irc.perl.org 09:29
ab5tract it was also a "tough time for the Perliverse" (or so it seemed to me at the time)
masak I say that as someone who thinks that Perl 5 and Perl 6 are not all that different.
09:29 tinyblak joined
masak I honestly was not aware of the "tough time" thing until around the time Perl 5.10 came out. 09:30
ab5tract well, it makes it much easier for the curious bystander on freenode to '/j #perl6' without connecting to another irc server 09:31
maybe "much easier" is a stretch, but for the lazy folks like me ... ;)
moritz wonders if there's a federation plugin for popular IRC servers that makes it possible to mirror IRC channels between different networks 09:32
ab5tract masak: i'm not sure i could pin down when i noticed it... even the initial RFCs for Perl 6 caused a bit of a stir.. but it's also around the time where p5 seemed to cross some arbitrary threshold of 'pariah' in the web development community 09:34
bonsaikitten which is quite confusing 09:35
I'd rather have some shoddy perl than php :)
masak yeah, it's odd. 09:36
unfortunately, it makes no difference that we here in the echo chamber know this.
ab5tract bonsaikitten: good point, but i think PHP is where all the folks programming the code that gave p5 a bad rap went when p5 became unfashionable :)
we should map the effects of this herd
bonsaikitten ab5tract: and sadly they never stopped stapling together things with anger
Rounin I suppose Perl has become famous for being hard to read 09:37
The other thing is that when you use a random web server, PHP is already installed
I use PHP on my web page for that very reason... Just chuck it in a folder and it starts up
bonsaikitten Rounin: which flavour of php?
Rounin Whatever flavour is installed 09:38
bonsaikitten not like they are compatible ... sigh :)
ab5tract there were a lot of initial efforts strung together with a decade of technical debt.. in p5 that started at a much younger version.. so there were a lot of complete rewrites initiated in languages where programmer output would be, shall we say, more predictable?
Rounin That being said, I've been here and there on IRC, and Perl seems to have the best community
masak "best community" is not a safeguard against irrelevance, though. 09:39
I mean, it's nice and all.
Rounin True... One of the other places I hang is #d
A very nice language if relevance isn't your criterion though :)
bonsaikitten perl has sanity
masak oh, I always imagined the #d community would be nice :)
bonsaikitten cpan is still by far the most engineered package mangling system for a language 09:40
ab5tract i have really high hopes for what Perl 6 can do for Perl
bonsaikitten I can't figure out why no one wants to learn from that :(
Rounin It is quite nice, and still small enough that everybody talks to everybody
There's no steering committee with 4 tiers, hehe
masak ab5tract: for two YAPC::EUs in a row now, I've felt "wow, this thing that we [Perl 6] are doing... it actually matters. and it's starting to show results now, significant ones that can't be had on the p5 VM." 09:41
ab5tract i like how Larry described it in his talk a yapc-year or two ago
of perl programmers as a culture ("forgiving of mistakes.. you've been living with some of my mistakes for 20 years now") :) 09:42
Rounin :)
ab5tract masak: indeed
masak notably async/parallel/concurrent and JIT/spesh.
ab5tract the rapid bootstrapping onto VMs
... that's not something many languages have "launced" with
*launched
not that Rakudo is not already 'shipping', I mean Perl 6 is already a mature language in terms of years 09:43
masak it took some years of trying, and some generations of compilers, to be fair.
ab5tract masak: very true. but that is also a point: how many other languages have had 13 years of learning on those terms? before "launch", i mean 09:44
and please take "launch" here to mean that ineffible moment where some demo or project comes out that forces people to pause for a moment and take stock 09:45
nine OTOH Perl 6 is in a rather unique position to take its time, because Perl 5 is still good enough to earn real money. And it's still evolving. But it can never evolve to a point to make Perl 6 obsolete :)
ab5tract nine: well said! :)
bonsaikitten I appreciate both for what they do 09:46
masak yeah, we keep complaining about the state of the two communities a lot. but I think we have it quite good, actually. 09:49
ab5tract Rakudo is getting to the point where it can really show it's more undeniable strengths against p5 09:52
NativeCall vs XS, for instance
nine note to self: never call a method "one"
ab5tract the "OH HAI I LIKEZ THIS VM" backend swappability for another 09:53
and finally: concurrency :)
not just that it's done, but how it is done, mind you 09:54
moritz nine: I hate it how it we pollute the Any methodspace
m: say Any.^methods.elems 09:55

nine moritz: and just a couple weeks ago I complained loudly that Python does not allow you to call a method "if", "and" or "not" :)
masak ah yes, languages with keywords... :) 09:56
moritz nine: well, Perl 6 does allow you to override those methods
nine Even the Python documentation says that this restriction is just to make writing the parser easier...
ab5tract nine: btw, when a p5 object is converted to a p6 one, does $obj.^methods work on it as expected? 09:57
moritz ab5tract: nope, it works through fallbacks 09:58
ab5tract makes sense, but damn.. that would have been a killer feature
nine virtualsue: I found the source of my problem. It's really a plain Perl problem actually. I'm calling a method on a Perl6::Object. This method then calls a function called "zero". But even in plain Perl, perl would look for this function in the current package, which is Perl6::Object.
ab5tract nine++
nine ab5tract: if the P5 object is based on Moose/Class::MOP, one could probably hook up the MOPs... 09:59
Which just leaves me with the worse: *** Error in `/data/home/nine/install/rakudo/install/bin/moar': munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer: 0x00007fffb80cf820 ***

nine I got the other problem when trying to golf down this one because I have no idea at all where this is coming from... 10:00
ab5tract true. that would be cool indeed, for going forward. but if it could work on classic classes.. that would be some useful, new functionality that Inline::Perl5 would provide over regular p5 :) 10:01
i've never delved too far into the module/class metaprogramming available to p5 10:02

jnthn In char classes, I think \ is the righ tway
I can't think of a neater one off hand, at least...

jnthn It seems to do things in Grammar that looks more like it beongs in Actions... 15:37
FROGGS like adhoc-declaring the variable?
jnthn Yeah
Well, it feels odd doing AST-building in the grammar is all
In Actions and World it's OK
The stuff in if !$*STRICT { ... } would feel cleaner to me as an auto_declare(...) method call on $*W 15:38
FROGGS yeah, makes sense
jnthn I think that and the "is package the righ tdefualt" (quite possibly) are all I have though... 15:39
FROGGS ossum!
will report back :o)
15:41 nbrown left
jnthn It appears Perl 5 goes for package scope 15:41
FROGGS aye 15:42
jnthn And I can't find any spec declaration that says something else 15:44
So, by "5 semantics as fallback" I'll happily accept package scope being used by the patch. :) 15:45
So, just the refactor and I think that can go in.

jnthn Ven: Looks buggy to me 15:56
timotimo i noe, right?
jnthn :P
Anyway, somebody who has been keeping up with the Inline::Perl5 progress better than I have may want to update ROADMAP in light of it 15:57
Did Inline::Perl5 make it into the latest Star release?
Fine if not, but we might like to get it into the next one :)
Also, if anybody has any objects to --enable-jit becoming the MoarVM default within the next couple of days, plesae let me know. 15:58

Ven so long it doesn't break hell loose when p5 is not installed :)
jnthn Good job I'm IRCing and not coding with this error rate... :)
Ven: Good point :)
Ven: Though "may not build right even if p5 is installed" is more likely something we need to be robust in the face of... 15:59
timotimo yes please have --enable-jit be the default :)
jnthn OK, if nobody has objected by the time the weekend is over, then either I'll do it or anybody else can feel free to beat me do it. 16:00
nine Are there other modules with C parts in Star? 16:01
Ven So, uh, any code example with labeled loops?
the spec has very little of those.
LABEL.next? where do I put the label? 16:02

FROGGS jnthn: about the USAGE... I just replaced it by a proxy and before 60 invocations of a script having a MAIN took 30.7s, now it takes 30.0s... is that what you would do too? 16:02
jnthn: it generates the usage only once of course
jnthn FROGGS: Well, I saw if I perl6-m --profile forest-fire.p6 16 16 5, then generating usage was a notable part of it 16:03
liztormato Wrt to "no strict". Do we have a generic lexical pragma framework?
FROGGS k, will check
jnthn FROGGS: So I'd try looking at it that way
liztormato Or is each pragma going to do its own thing? 16:04
FROGGS also, it does some magic to get the basename of $*PROGRAM_NAME... we can do better now
liztormato: for no/use strict we'd put a dynami variable in the parser, so it would be lexically scoped for that reason 16:05
maybe we could find a generic approach 16:06

liztormato Atm basename first splits into 3 parts and then returns one of them

16:25 ssutch left
jnthn (Also to fix our compiler flags off Windows too, perhaps. ;)) 16:27
(Unless the issue is that something about Perl 5 means MSVC doesn't do so well with it as on GCC, Clang, etc...) 16:28
FROGGS I don't get that about the compiler flags
hmm
jnthn FROGGS: Well, it's just a bit surprising that when I do perl6-bench on Windows against Perl 5, I tend to be seeing better numbers than folks doing perl6-bench runs on Linux. 16:29
And it's not just that something is up with the Perl 5 that perl6-bench builds; I get the same figures out of activestate builds. 16:30
FROGGS could also be an issue with activeperl 16:31
jnthn True. Could also be that Moar *has* had a lot of C-level profiing done on Windows, and tweaks applied as a result of that. 16:32

Is there a list of every call that doesn't flatten? 18:16

leont Is there any way to capture a look-ahead? 19:22
Ven leont: don't think so, that's why it's a look-ahead :P
moritz: "[] is a shortcut for $()" is that "true"?
Does it matter if it's not 100% correct?
FROGGS leont: with lexicals
leont: I mean, you can stick something in a lexical inside of the look-ahead 19:23
moritz Ven: it's about 80% correct
leont Yuck
moritz Ven: $(...) and [...] both produce a scalar, though [] always returns a mutable array
leont Then again, I could rewrite this not to need the lookahead
FROGGS which is ugly of course, and possibly problematic when your rule is called as a look-ahead too
Ven moritz: Right. Is the mutable VS immutable part the only difference :)? 19:24
I can brush over that...
19:24 davido__ joined
FROGGS leont: there is a rule of thumb that an non alphanumeric character as the first one in a assertion tells it to not capture 19:25
like: <?foo> <!foo> <.foo>
leont It makes sense, but also makes my life more complicated right now :-/ 19:26
FROGGS I know that feeling :/ 19:27
moritz Ven: no. $(...) just gives you the thing inside the parens, packed in an item. So the type stays the same. [] always create a new Array object 19:29
Ven oh, uhm, right.
moritz so basically they are only the same from the flattening/non-flattening perspective 19:31
vendethiel- okay, thanks for bearing with me here :-). 19:33

Ven moritz: the only parcel VS list difference (for the user) is the immutability, right? 19:56
When is it a parcel? Only when it's not assigned?
moritz Ven: also, Lists are lazy, parcels (in rakudo) aren't 20:00
Ven is that by spec?
timotimo aren't parcels meant to be eager by spec?
except i suppose you can put multiple lazy lists into a parcel?
Ven :-'
timotimo that'd have to be itemized
otherwise the , operator would want to flatten them, right?
Ven I, uh, don't talk about LoL now, and probably not going to do so for a while 20:01
