adu I have a question, what is the purpose of "outerctx"? 00:27
github.com/perl6/nqp/blob/master/s...r.nqp#L219
00:28 pmurias left
jnthn Part of the mechanism for attaching the outer lexical context (the setting for scripts/modules, and the appropriate lexical scope for EVAL) 00:28
Actions.pm has the more interesting bits 00:29
adu jnthn: I'm trying to write a parser for NQP in something other than NQP 00:38
I'm finding it rather difficult 00:39
00:45 erkan left
ugexe m: class X { multi MAIN("test") is export {"test"}; multi MAIN("test",@more) is export {"test2"}; }; import X; say "hello"; MAIN("test"); say "world"; 00:45
camelia rakudo-moar 795a32: OUTPUT«hello␤world␤Usage:␤ /tmp/akr1TtchJu test ␤ /tmp/akr1TtchJu test <more> ␤»
ugexe why does the Usage message get printed at the end instead of calling &MAIN or printing the Usage before "hello" "world"?
i understand &MAIN_HELPER is called at the precomp stage, but im not exactly sure what i should extrapolate from that 00:47
00:47 erkan joined 00:48 bjz left
jnthn ugexe: A MAIN it called automatically, at the end of the mainline. So the mainline runs, then it calls MAIN, and since there are no command line args passed for the evalbot then you get the usage printed. 00:48
00:48 bjz joined
jnthn ugexe: Your own call to it likely worked out fine, but the idea is that MAIN is called automatically with @*ARGS, not that you call it yourself. 00:48
adu: I'm not entirely surprised. :) Though NQP is a good bit more tractable than full-blown Perl 6. 00:50
adu: There's a reason the two times I ported NQP, I ported the code-gen and then got it to cross-compile itself, so I didn't have to port the grammar and so on. :)
adu lol 00:51
jnthn: also, perl6-j is quite speedy, good job! 00:59
psch it is..? 01:00
i guess i'm not running enough long-running programs with it
adu psch: yes, it executes my C11 parser in less than 10 seconds, perl6-p executes the same program in under 5 minutes...
psch adu: did you try it on moar yet? 01:01
adu psch: yeah, perl6-m runs it in about 5 seconds
maybe I should do some more testing and put some benchmarks on my blog or something 01:02
01:02 erkan left
adu jnthn: have you heard of Graal/Truffle? 01:03
psch 5 sec moar vs 10 sec jvm sounds suspiciously consistent with my own experience
as in, stage parse while building rakudo also has 100% longer runtime on jvm than moar for me 01:04
looking at benchmarks is probably more reasonable though
adu psch: it's still much nicer than 1000x longer
psch adu: right, i'm not saying it's slow. i might just be a bit miffed with building on jvm for the interop stuff i'm working on :) 01:05
01:05 erkan joined, erkan left, erkan joined
adu psch: what are you working on? 01:05
psch adu: i'm working on mmd for overloaded constructs when instantiating java classes in perl6 01:06
currently we have to call them with a non-jvm-spec compliant method descriptor, e.g. "constructor/new/(I)V" for a constructor that takes an int
adu mmd? 01:07
multimonitor display?
psch but we of course would like to be able to call &.new
multi-method dispatch
adu oh
psch i've described mmd for methods in the day 12 of perl6advent 01:08
adu I thought JVM added invokedynamic in 1.7 for that
psch well, yes
we're also already using invokedynamic for a few things
but nobody had implemented it yet for interop
or rather, it wasn't user friendly 01:09
01:10 stapler joined, stapler left, stapler joined
adu psch: have you heard of Graal/Truffle? 01:11
jnthn adu: Yeah, I read a paper on Graal/Truffle a few weeks back. Interesting work.
adu every word reminded me of HLL::Grammar and NQP, and Parrot, ...
also: www.slideshare.net/ThomasWuerthinge...ethdec2013 01:12
provides a nice overview 01:13
01:19 stapler left 01:20 adu left 01:25 mvuets left, erkan left 01:28 erkan joined, erkan left, erkan joined 01:35 RSX-11M joined
RSX-11M is it possible "file".IO.lines but with "\n" preserved ? 01:36
jnthn Maybe open("file", :!chomp).lines 01:39
psch m: my @lines-with-break = slurp.comb: /<-[\x0a]>+.<after "\n">/; say @lines-with-break[0] # this'd work 01:42

psch note two ␤ at the end
although opening it correctly is probably cleaner
jnthn psch: That's...probably also not going to be so fast ;)
psch jnthn: right, it's probably not. i'm thoroughly in "make it work"-mode :) 01:43

psch probably not, i'm thinking the lookaround is the slowest bit

FROGGS__ moritz: pong
moritz FROGGS__: we talked about moving testers.perl6.org to the new server 12:50
FROGGS__ moritz: true 12:51
I'd need an account... somewhere I suppose :o)
moritz FROGGS__: the main question is: should it go on the www or the 'hack' server?
12:51 rurban left
moritz FROGGS__: how much CPU, RAM and disk space does it use? 12:52
12:52 rurban joined
FROGGS__ good question 12:52
lemme check
timotimo moritz: does the "security-relevant services" host have a name yet? 12:53
moritz www has 4GB RAM, and a single CPU; I could add another one with a short downtime
timotimo: no, it doesn't exist yet; I'm thinking maybe 'risk.p6c.org'
FROGGS__ moritz: is there a connection between both?
timotimo mhm 12:54
moritz FROGGS__: sure, both are on the internet :-)
FROGGS__ like, that the hack server could generate static html pages, and the www server would deliver these (using apache), and the www would also receive reports
so they'd need to share a prostgres db and a directory
maybe rsync'd 12:55
12:55 rindolf left
moritz FROGGS__: rsync should be pretty fast; I'd like to avoid setting up an NFS share 12:55
(they are on the same physical machine, so network between them should be pretty fast)
FROGGS__ yes, it feels like the right design anyway
jnthn FROGGS__++ moritz++ 12:56
moritz FROGGS__: mail or msg me your ssh pubkey, then I'll create an account for you on both servers
timotimo is www meant to do mostly static web hosting? 12:58
or are the web services supposed to culminate in a single web server via proxying?
moritz timotimo: it's dimensioned to also run some dynamic pages
timotimo: it has enough RAM to compile rakudo-m, so that's possible too
timotimo for some reason a single CPU still feels a bit weak; or is that two logical cores? 12:59
moritz timotimo: though highly CPU-intensive loads don't fit there
timotimo hm, i suppose web stuff is rather I/O bound
moritz timotimo: well, the server on which I run irclog.perlgeek.de (also written in perl) and a few mostly-static web pages is also a single core, and i mostly idles 13:00
timotimo i wonder how we'd get a libuv-backed socket on moarvm to do TCP fast open
moritz: ah, right. it's most probably mostly peak loads
gotta go AFK for a bit

Ulti ^ is my confusion 13:43
why the need for the first $_
timotimo so that it doesn't get parsed as a hash literal 13:45
$_ says "this is code block, yo"
Ulti I thought you would need the , for that
timotimo i don't think so
Ulti as in for it to be a hash rather than just a pair literal
timotimo m: say {foo => "bar"}.WHAT
camelia rakudo-moar 795a32: OUTPUT«(Hash)␤»
timotimo m: say {foo => "bar"}.perl
camelia rakudo-moar 795a32: OUTPUT«{"foo" => "bar"}␤»
jnthn I think the implicit use of $_ there should count
So I'd have taht as a bug.
timotimo hm, okay 13:46
jnthn I think there's an RT
Ulti I think its the {} looking hashy before they look blocky
that makes the => a hash rather than a pair
I mean this is what the * is kind of for 13:47
but I can't use it :'(

brrt thanks :-) i'll think about a good title. I was preparing to write about the JIT / spes logging stuff 14:18
in the sense of 'how to see what spesh/JIT does for you' 14:19
or would we lose too much readers that way? :-)
masak write about somthing that piques your interest, is the main thing 14:20
if it's interesting to you, and it comes through, chances are it's interesting to a reader 14:21
brrt ok, i'll try

moritz brrt: a bad post doesn't make us lose readers; if people don't like it, they move on to their next tab 14:28
brrt that is true
moritz brrt: ... you just shouldn't insult them :-)
brrt that is easy
i don't know them

ssqq why in perl6, 1.1+2.2 == 3.3, but in NQP, 1.1+2.2 > 3.3, they have same backends, only with different grammar and action. 14:34
jnthn ssqq: Because 1.1 is not a floating point number in Perl 6
brrt 1.1 in perl6 is (iirc) a rational 14:35
jnthn And in NQP we cheat and make it one.
moritz ssqq: the difference is that 1.1 in Perl 6 is a Rat, which can store the 1.1 exactly
ssqq: but it's not a VM-level type, so NQP doesn't have it
jnthn We could just forbid 1.1 in NQP and force writing 1.1e0 if we want to really force Perl 6 compatibility
But I've barely cared; floating point isn't very useful in compilers, generally.
moritz (and it's not needed much for writing compilers)
timotimo aye
jnthn Sometimes I wonder if NQP could get away with assuming all math is integers and you have to write the nqp::add_n if you want the floating point. 14:36
brrt as in, completely untested by any part of the compilation stack
jnthn We'd generate better code that way. :)
brrt jnthn - i think you could and it would simplify stuff
jnthn It's tempting. :)
brrt very
jnthn After all, the point of NQP is to build compilers and other related runtime bits, not to be general purpose like full Perl 6. :) 14:37
ssqq jnthn: yes, I think float is useless to hack compilers.
14:45 brrt left
masak I'm surprised floats were put into NQP in the first place :) 14:45
14:46 atroxaper joined
moritz having floats is kinda useful for math that generates floats :-) 14:47
masak I guess...
moritz but I think it was really just parrot/PIR legacy 14:48
masak ...but even that explanation feels non-obvious to me. mixing levels, kind of.
moritz well, before NQP, rakudo was written in PIR (shudder) 14:49
so it's kinda obvious to have NQP provide all the PIR features that easily map into a HLL
[Coke] pmurias: pong
masak yeah.

masak ooh, I got a case where adding Grammar::Tracer changes the outcome of a parse :> 15:27
jnthn So Grammar::Tracer is SO good it not only helps you debug your grammar, but magically makes it work too? :P 15:29
masak no, it fails with a different failure.
guess that qualifies as a Heisenbug.
jnthn Well, more likely a Grammar::Tracer spoiling something bug...
masak I took a snapshot of the files -- will look at it later. 15:32
right now it would be a detour.
timotimo masak: could be an optimizer bug
oh, wait
yeah, maybe 15:33
masak no matter what the cause, it would be interesting to track it down.
timotimo some time ago i had to teach the optimizer to just ignore the kinds of nodes the debugger adds to regexes
otherwise it wouldn't turn a beginning-of-string anchor at the beginning into a direct fail instead of scanning through the whole string 15:34

smls Ulti: «$seq.Bag.pick($seq)» can be written more simply as «$seq.Bag.pick(*)» (in your advent post draft) 15:42
[Coke] .tell pmurias maybe just leave me a message this way. :) 15:43
yoleaux [Coke]: I'll pass your message to pmurias.
[Coke] .tell pmurias we don't currently smoke nqp, just rakudo. I can see about setting up an nqp-only smoker, but the last time I tried to get nqp-js to work, I kept getting failures. 15:44
yoleaux [Coke]: I'll pass your message to pmurias.
smls Ulti: «token record { ">"<id>" "<comment>"\n"<sequence> }» might benefit in readability from adding a space between each subrule. 15:45
moritz and that's just style, but maybe use single quotes? 15:47
token record { '>' <id> ' ' <comment> \n <sequence> } 15:48

yoleaux 15:43Z <[Coke]> pmurias: maybe just leave me a message this way. :)
15:44Z <[Coke]> pmurias: we don't currently smoke nqp, just rakudo. I can see about setting up an nqp-only smoker, but the last time I tried to get nqp-js to work, I kept getting failures.
pmurias [Coke]: what sort of failures are you getting?
[Coke]: 'make test' works here so failure are interesting for me 16:02
[Coke]: smoke testing for nqp-js would solve the most common 'missing dependency' style failures 16:04

perltricks Hey y'all, are there any docs that descrbe the naming rules for variables? (other than S02) 16:51
masak what are you after that you're not finding in S02? 16:52
16:53 ajr_ joined
smls doc.perl6.org/language/variables explains the twigils 16:53
(but not the rules for underscores/hyphens/apostrophes in custom variable names) 16:54
perltricks masak: i'm looking for rules in terms of what are legal names. I'm actually looking for module name rules, but assumed vars and modules/packages have the same rules.
masak yes. we call the common denominator an "identifier". 16:55
16:55 Grrr_ left
Ulti nooo my grammar doesnt work 16:57
so now I'm debugging it before the post :(
masak perltricks: the rule is this: alphanumerics and underscores are allowed, but the first char must not be a digit. before an alphabetic char you may also insert a single apostrophe (`'`) or hyphen (`-`).
vendethiel Ulti: grammar::debugger is very good :p
masak (but not before the first char)
perltricks masak: thank you! 16:58
masak m: my $_-_-_-_ = 5; say $_-_-_-_
camelia rakudo-moar 795a32: OUTPUT«5␤»
masak make that "before a non-numeric char".
m: my $don't-try-this-at-home = "!"; say :$don't-try-this-at-home.perl 16:59

gtodd perltricks: it's not a built in to the language rule perse but in PBP (or was it Advanced Perl Programming ...) I remember recommendations like: %hash = (a => , b=> 2); and $hash_ref = \%hash ; ... etc. (quasi guidelines for naming scalars used as references) ... I like those for self-documenting code etc. but with Perl6 ... hmm 17:08

timotimo ugexe: huh? 17:08

gtodd perltricks: references are different or ermm everywhere but the idea of names that help document what is going on still applies ... I'd like to see a P6BP article about that :-D 17:10
on perltricks.com ...
perltricks gtodd: $++ thx for the tip 17:11
gtodd after alll ... perl ... it's not really all that tricky ... :-D
but still thanks for the tricks ... great site ++ 17:12
Ulti sooo this is weird my grammar is working but something is still borked
Ulti scratches his head
smls Ulti: «.grep({ .value (cont) $phospho_site })» can be written as «.grep(*.value (cont) $phospho_site)» , and in «... if ($p53_gene (cont) $snp);» you can leave off the outer parens. 17:14
masak ugexe: no, $_-_-_-_ is a different variable, no relation to $_ 17:15
17:15 gaussblurinc_ left 17:16 zakharyas joined
Ulti smls yeah but you can't for the other ones so I wanted to be consistent 17:19
out parens on the if is a good call though
ok so in a grammar what is the syntax for an optional grouping of tokens 17:20
I have a feeling shoving a ? where I have isn't doing what I think it does
smls [ ... ]? 17:28
Ulti well that was fun :D 17:30
so this grammar for the advent cal is better than the one I've been using for a while lol
should probably improve the tests
smls Ulti: With «token record { ^^ ">" <id> [" "<comment> "\n"]? <sequence> }» it can parse the snippets from the FASTA wikipedia page 17:31
Ulti but yeah I didnt parse a FASTA without a comment before
so that was fun
smls yeah the idea is to have something a little more neat 17:32
perltricks gtodd: thx!
Ulti I also needed to change token to rule for the proto sequence bit because that obviously needs backtracking
also the order was wrong
(these are all good points to make)
Ulti gets writing 17:33
masak Ulti++
Ulti also jnthn++ for Grammar:Debugger its chuffing useful 17:34
