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

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

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

timotimo itz: camelia needs a restart right now, nine isn't at the computer to do it right now, though 11:45

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 before removal it'd've been something like call(clone(QAST::BVal(reference_to_block)))
unfortunately, the compiler gets very upset when a block had been added to the World and it's no longer around when we get to compiling 15:07
so what we do is replace the block's contents with just a quick die statement
15:07 diana_olhovik_ left

Hmmm, that leaves me with a question, though ... such a feature allows me to detect if an op is supported ... but what happens on a backend that doesn't support it? Will the *compiler* complain that nqp::readlink isn't a known op, even if I make sure it never gets executed on that backend? 17:15

japhb nod 20:41
What should .resolve do with paths that don't exist past some point? realpath(3) will error, realpath(1) can work in "resolve symlinks, error on fake paths" or "don't resolve symlinks, but don't error on fake paths" mode. 20:42
20:43 Ben_Goldberg joined
japhb I was thinking about a DWIM: Start in "Resolving symlinks, handling real paths" mode, and the first time it hits a path element that doesn't exist, just append the rest of the path elements as-is except for dropping // and /./ 20:44
This has the downside of possibly leaving /../, but iff that could not be successfully resolved.
Which means if the missing intermediate path element were created later, the partially-resolved path would still be correct, and (more-)fully-resolvable. 20:45
20:46 BenGoldberg left
japhb So if /usr/bin/X11 -> /usr/bin, then /usr/lib/../bin/X11/foo/../baz would return /usr/bin/foo/../baz, which could later be resolved completely if /usr/bin/foo were created as a directory or as a valid symlink. 20:48

japhb Hmmm, there's also the case of /dir/dir/file/bar/baz to contend with ... :-/ 20:58
Oh, actually, we probably want to let that slide, because 'file' can be a ZIP or TAR file that the filesystem can mount as a dir ...
geekosaur there's also streams in NTFS and HFS+ 20:59
japhb Yeah, the more I think about this, the more I think it's a good idea to be more lax ... after all, if the user wants to be sure the resolved thing is "real", they can always .IO.e on the result. 21:06
Ben_Goldberg On windows "//" right at the beginning of a path name has a special meaning. 21:10
Specifically, all named pipes start with \\ or, equivilantly, // 21:12
geekosaur UNC paths 21:13
/host/share/path 21:14
er
//host/share/path
right, my mental automatic doubling at the start of the line doesn't quite work if it's starting with // for other reasons :p
Ben_Goldberg Err, actually, \\ is the windows equivilant of unix's /dev/ 21:15
Windows named pipes start with "\\<ComputerName>\pipe\" .... and there are other devices in addition to pipes in the \\ namespace. 21:16
geekosaur right, it's a variant of UNC paths 21:17
"pipe" is a virtual share in UNC syntax 21:18

lizmat japhb: re .resolve, I'd be very interested in trying that out 23:19
as a status update re the newio branch: I sort of hit a blocker on how to handle symlinks that point to non-existing dir entries 23:20
now that stat() is the default on Moar (as opposed to lstat before)
one of my assumptions was that any dir() entry that I get, by definition exists 23:21
this is no longer true if it is a symlink to a non-existing dir entry
in that case -e is false, and -le is trie
*true
now, one of my speedups was that one would not have to check existence on dir() entries 23:22
and now one needs to :-(
which sort of kicks the legs out from under the whole idea for speedup that I had
still pondering on how to continue...

lizmat just before you want to check if something is a regular file or a directory, e.g. 23:26
