TimToady well, I already implemented tests, but only for exchange on Pair, which, er, was the only one specced... 00:31
and I asked for use cases for anything else...
er...speculated... 00:33
00:33 spider-mario left
TimToady it is not, in particular, clear whether .exchange is the opposite of .pairs, or the opposite of .invert 00:35
if people expect the latter on a list of pairs, they'll be very surprised to get extra keys 00:36
in particular, I was thinking about it as the opposite of invert, not the opposite of pairs, or I'd've named it something different 00:37

Negative binary shifts are indeed tested in roast, so whirl them

useful on infix:«<+», so mention that. (The :signed and :unsigned adverbs are currently only in spec not in roast/implementation)		 03:04
TimToady alternately, we should make that decision based on the left-hand type 03:05
skids Yes it makes no sense for Int. 03:08
But maybe better as a runtime error, rather than requiring tight typing? 03:09
TimToady actually, shifts are fine for Int 03:10
skids Yes, but :unsigned isn't 03:11
erm :!signed
dalek ok: 5a4285b | (Christopher Bottoms)++ | src/operators.pod:

TimToady m: say 1 +< 30 03:16
camelia rakudo-moar 3eb446: OUTPUT«1073741824␤»
skids Right so :!signed would either be mute, or should be an error.
*moot
TimToady would like to avoid adverbs entirely if we can make it type based
likewise if we ever get rotate instructions 03:17
skids The point of the adverb is kind of to override signedness of the type, I thought.
TimToady see rosettacode.org/wiki/Bitwise_operations#Perl_6 03:18
03:18 Patterner joined
TimToady notice how we cheat on the unsigned rightshfit 03:18
and the rotates
that could easily be determined by the native size of the left though
well, called to dinner & 03:19
skids I think that's the intent of the language in specs -- the left hand type determines which adverb would be needed to break the rules. 03:20
03:22 Psyche^ left
skids FWIW if anyone ever wants to rewrite asm in perl6 they would probably also want a "with carry" option on shifts and rotates. 03:22

japhb Does Rakudo have any way to take a path containing .. and properly resolve it? For example, given ('../foo/bar' relative to '/a/b/c/d/e'), which absolutifies to '/a/b/c/d/e/../foo/bar', where any segments of that path could be links (symbolic or otherwise), allows you to do .parent.parent.parent and get a sane result?

timotimo nine_: it's kind of sort of similar to the grammar highlighter
masak you have this wonderfully extensible language where, at the snap of your fingers, you can turn it into what you want.
and then people want to stuff their favorite DSL into core, or they refuse to play.

09:06 rurban joined
raydiak mostly out of a desire to not write code which is difficult for people who are not me to follow. if I came up with an idea with a more tangible benefit, I'd likely use it, but for .&up, which is hard for me to type in the dark anyway which was my original problem? no, the ratio does not meet my own personal threshhold. sorry if that makes anyone frown. 09:07
masak sorry for the rant. it's not just you. 09:08
of course "it doesn't cross my personal threshold for ease/readability" *is* a respectable argument.
raydiak no biggie. I know it's a common thing, and I'm sure more than none of it is still the same stuck-in-the-past thinking which you're rightly opposed to 09:09
masak but I do recommend freely creating ops and functions in small scopes when you need them. it becomes addictive, and it changes the way you think about the code :)

smls "* vendethiel would really, really like to have :D as the default" -- same here, though I agree with TimToady that the :_ syntax is not great. 10:30
Especially since the concept of "whatever / I don't care / all of the above" is usually encoded using an asterisk in Perl 6, not an underscore.
Although :* won't win any beauty contests either.
masak I always thought it was a bit of a nod to p5 that the thing passed in can be either a type object or a concrete object. 10:31
smls Maybe call it :UD or :DU instead?
timotimo :DUI?
smls ;)
or :U:D to make it look like stacking adverbs 10:33
masak doesn't feel quite right, though. 10:34
timotimo i dislike how that collides with the final : for invocant
then you could have Dog:, Dog:D:, Dog:U:, Dog:D:U and Dog:D:U:
masak I think the consequences of making :D the default should be seriously thought through. regardless of what syntax ends up replacing :_ , if any. 10:35
smls if the invocant : requires a space after it, it might not be so bad
masak feels to me that making :D the default "hides" type objects quite a bit further back in the language.
smls: that feels weird, especially for invocant-only methods.
smls one disadvantage of making :D the default in function signatures, is that it doesn't make sense to also make it the default for my declarations 10:36
which, in the general case, are also signatures 10:37
so either it's inconsistent, or one of them is suboptimal
my ($x, $y); # a "type check failed" error here would be rather WAT 10:38

timotimo did moritz already implement that, or only suggest? 10:58

timotimo OK 10:59
10:59 Kristien left
smls timotimo: Once good Perl 6 syntax highlighting proliferates, the different kinds of : will hopefully be less confusing. 11:01
e.g. "Dog:U:" --> "<typespec>Dog:U</typespec><interpunctuation>:</interpunctuation>" 11:02
timotimo i disagree with requiring to have syntax highlighting to make code understandable
smls Well there are different levels of understanding 11:03
If newbies can recognize a construct and even use it without understanding the more general rule of how it is contructed from its parts, that's ok imo
vendethiel psch: the problem is -- "evalp6code" will be a real performance problem :) 11:04
psch vendethiel: to the extend that 'perl6-j' is a performance problem, yes 11:08
vendethiel *g* 11:09
no, to the extend that the jvm can't optimize it

jnthn is gonna have to update the native-ref branch with nom before his next test run, after all these patches :) 11:33
But first, get the JVM porting done... :)
itz is native-ref to be used for NSA? 11:35
timotimo itz: indeed
Mouq: you're wrapping $past with &HYPERWHATEVER near the bottom of whatever_curry after the annotations have been set that are used for inlining curries into each other; do you know if that has negative effects? 11:36
itz [ptc]: I was wondering whether panda should record installed files with SHA256 sums maybe in a JSON structure
jnthn itz: Yeah, it's one of the main building blocks I needed for native arrays, but it also takes care of many language usability issues with native types 11:37
Like the infamous "wtf I can't $native-int++"
timotimo yes! 11:38

smls jnthn: If @a is a compact array of native int's, what will @a[0] return? Some kind of Proxy container? 11:43
timotimo a native reference to the int in the array 11:44
it is "a kind of container", but not really
smls Is that specunspecified on a language level and users are told to think of @[0] = 4 as magic syntax and not introspect it?
jnthn Well, it is a container in the same sense Scalar is
itz m: my int $i=2; $i++
jnthn Just doing a rather different thing when you store into it
timotimo itz: camelia needs a restart right now, nine isn't at the computer to do it right now, though 11:45
jnthn The key thing is that for common cases, the compiler can elide a lot of the reference takes.
itz ah
11:45 Kristien joined
jnthn And Moar will be able to eliminate a bunch more, especially in combination with inlining. 11:45
11:46 lizmat left
jnthn smls: Well, you can expect some kind of "first class" l-value thing 11:46
smls ok
jnthn smls: But the spec doesn't nail down details beyond that.
smls Currently @a[$i] already returns a proxy for out-of-bounds elements, right?
to make autovivification work
jnthn Yes 11:47
> my int $a = 42; my $b := $a; $b++; say $a;
43
That's one example of the "first class" nature of the refs
smls nice 11:48
timotimo that's supposed to work for compact arrays, too, right?
jnthn Not quite sure how horribly that will fall out of the optimizer, but in combination with lowering to locals and the stuff spesh does, the answer may well be "just fine"
timotimo: Yeah, and already does in native-ref if you count Buf as a kind of native array 11:49
timotimo neato!
jnthn > my $b = Buf.new(1, 2, 3); my $x := $b[1]; $x++; say $b;

jnthn timotimo: Umm...at some point maybe 12:03
