timotimo it's kind of amazing that none of the ~5k gc runs that happen during masaks send-more-money-subs is a full collection 00:03
and i'm not 100% sure that's really a good thing
hm. the collection time or the number of gen2 roots doesn't decrease after a full gc, so it doesn't seem so bad 00:07
(i reduced the threshold for a full gc run to be triggered way down and made it to a single full collection)
hmm. it might be sort of interesting to have the profiler also measure what objects get promoted to gen2 00:08

timotimo there's an object that gets added to the gen2 roots that seems ... garbled 00:29
gist.github.com/timo/b3948e713e46d7923e39 00:30
its flags are "IS_STABLE" and "SECOND_GEN"
oh, an STABLE looks different from an object of course 00:31
the vast majority of things being added to the gen2 roots are MVMCode objects 00:34
at least during startup; when running the send-more-money-subs, more and more MVMCode get added, but also P6Opaque, VMArray, and a few VMHashes 00:35
i wonder if these MVMCode objects come just from taking closures?
jdv79 are a bunch of closures necessary? i haven't looked at that code. 00:36

JustThisGuy Hi all! What's the convention for posting code to ask a question about? 00:45
raydiak JustThisGuy: if it's more than a line, a github gist is common, or whatever pastebin you prefer
00:46 laouji joined
JustThisGuy OK, thanks. I'll be back in a few... 00:46
raydiak you're welcome
JustThisGuy OK, Here's the code: pastebin.com/raw.php?i=wm2jLWW3 00:52
When I run it through the REPL: my $gdbm = DBM::GDBM.new('foo', 0, 0o666); $gdbm.store('foo', 'bar'); 00:53
I get: Cannot modify an immutable Str in method store at /development/perl6/DBM-GDBM/lib/DBM/GDBM.pm6:66 in block <unit> at <unknown file>:1 in any <unit-outer> at <unknown file>:1
I saw in Arne Skjærholt's talk here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPuU_jTnJC...p;t=17m25s 00:54
That value structs are not yet implemented. Is that what I'm running into, or am I doing something dumb? (entirely possible since this is day 4 of using Perl 6) 00:55
00:58 BenGoldberg joined
JustThisGuy Oh, I should probably mention that DBM::GDBM.new actually creates the gdbm file 'foo', and it appears to be valid, but empty, as expected. 00:58
raydiak hm...well, line 66 doesn't match the paste and idk much about DBM, but I'd try changing the 'is rw's in store's signature to 'is copy' instead, since you're passing literal strings in instead of mutable containers 01:00
JustThisGuy Yeah, sorry, I hacked out a bunch of commented out junk. The line is: my datum $key_datum = datum.new(dptr => $key, dsize => $key.chars); 01:01
I'll give that a try... 01:02
Thanks!
Still got the same error. 01:03
timotimo if you .store('foo', 'bar') you're passing in constant strings, and if you somehow assign to them, that'll go boom. but i don't really see where that'd happen 01:05
JustThisGuy Yeah, that's what's confusing me. 01:06
timotimo you tried "is copy" like raydiak suggested?
JustThisGuy Yes, I get the same error.
timotimo you restarted the repl properly, too?
raydiak yeah I don't see what on that line is trying to change a string, either... 01:07
timotimo if you run perl6 with --ll-exception, the stack trace will also contain internal methods
JustThisGuy Yes, I did restart it. Just did it again to make sure. :)
timotimo that could help figure out where things are going wrong
01:07 zhanggong joined
JustThisGuy Hmmm... I did this: PERL6LIB=. perl6 --ll-exception -M DBM::GDBM 01:08
and still got the same error with no extra info.
timotimo that should have helped 01:09
can you try 'use DBM::GDBM' instead of -M?
JustThisGuy Sure...
Same result. 01:10
timotimo :o
hm, we do read from PERL6LIB, right? could you put a say statement into the mainline of the module so we can see if the right file is being used? 01:11
JustThisGuy Sure...
timotimo i'm not really on top of my debugging game; it's 3am, i should probably try sleeping instead
JustThisGuy Yeah, I got my "Foo!!!" as soon as I typed in use DBM::GDBM; 01:12
So it's definitely the right file.
timotimo OK, good
JustThisGuy LOL, don't let me keep you up timotimo. :) 01:13
timotimo "is copy" is the only thing you changed?
JustThisGuy Yes, except for the say line I just added.
I know this is probably bleeding edge stuff, and that combined with the fact that I don't know what I'm doing could be the problem. :) 01:15
Is there anywhere more persistent I can post this question?
timotimo we have [email@hidden.address] 01:16
fwiw, the nativecall stuff and CStruct classes have been around for a long time
JustThisGuy OK, I'll give that a try. Thanks timotimo!
timotimo but being able to mark parameters to "is native" subs to be "is rw" is rather new
JustThisGuy Oh, that's good to know.
timotimo hm, so, where do i get libgdbm.so.3 01:17
yum yum ...
JustThisGuy I'm running Linux Mint 17, and the package is called libgdbm3. 01:18
timotimo oh, i have .4 01:19
i can get compat-gdbm
Error: compat-gdbm-devel conflicts with gdbm-devel-1.11-4.fc21.x86_64
JustThisGuy Yeah, that's one thing I was wondering about is how to handle versioned .so files.
timotimo oh, that's funny! 01:21
JustThisGuy What's that?
timotimo this comes from a BUILD method 01:22
JustThisGuy I haven't learned about BUILD methods yet, so I don't get the joke. :) 01:23
timotimo the funny thing was i first thought it was something completely unrelated 01:24
JustThisGuy Oh, gotcha.
timotimo creating the first datum in the store method blows up
raydiak m: use NativeCall; class Foo is repr('CStruct') { has Str $.str }; Foo.new: :str<foo> # golf 01:25
camelia rakudo-moar c2a57e: OUTPUT«Cannot modify an immutable Str␤ in block <unit> at /tmp/Ft7xb6JrS3:1␤␤»
timotimo well, that's convenient
who broke that! :P
JustThisGuy Not me! I don't know enough to be dangerous yet. :) 01:26
timotimo well, this worked once
JustThisGuy Oh cool! So there's hope! 01:27
timotimo star: use NativeCall; class Foo is repr('CStruct') { has Str $.str }; Foo.new: :str<foo>

RabidGravy is there any particular reason there isn't a 'mode' to go along with 'chmod' in IO::Path or is it just no-one got to doing it yet? 08:27

RabidGravy and, except for the most simple cases, chmod isn't very useful without knowing what the mode of the file already was 08:40
moritz RabidGravy: I disagree; when deploying files, you usually want them to have specifically defined permissions after the deploy, indepently of how the copying mod()ed them before 08:44

FROGGS Woodi: and we support linking against packaged libtommath and other libs, so they dont have to use our patched versions
smls well, maybe I'm misinterpreting the design docs?
it's not super explicit about it. 12:39
masak "They parse the same as phasers" and `try` already working that way both seem to point to your conclusion. 12:40

arnsholt Wow. Return of vengeance of the Python object model 13:38
Because looking things up via the type hierarchy would be too easy: gist.github.com/arnsholt/a753bdbb8faf430a105b
masak .oO( Venceance of the Python object model II ) 13:43
arnsholt Yeah
That was an odd one 13:44
I thought instance creation was relatively simple, but turns out it isn't
masak waitwait 13:45
the more I look, the less surprised I am 13:46
arnsholt Oh, wait
I derped, didn't i?
Accidentally the inheritance >.<
masak the list of argument passed to `D(...)` has to match the __init__
in your first snippet, it doesn't.
13:47 espadrine_ joined
arnsholt If I add the inheritance (which is what I was supposed to be testing!) it works as expected 13:47
masak \o/
arnsholt I just happened to be a marroon
masak Python is less surprising than you started to fear! :P
arnsholt Oh. Except having an __init__ but not a __new__ actually has to do something like installing a __new__ for you 13:49
Since "class C: def __init__(self, a, b, c): pass; C()" doesn't complain about too many arguments
Hmm. 13:50
Woodi FROGGS: I didn't know that. so probably around January 2016 things will look better :)

masak arnsholt: nice :) 15:07
arnsholt: are you able to summarize it for us interested-but-lazy onlookers?
moritz speaking of python, OO, and confused... 15:09
in def __init__(self, stuff):\n super().__init__(stuff)
masak .oO( pythoonfused )
moritz where/how does super() get its reference to self?
RabidGravy magic 15:10
arnsholt moritz: It's the Zen of Python! Implicit is better than explicit!
(Or something along those lines ;)
masak :P
"magic" is the explanation I recall too, yes.
arnsholt But what RabidGravy said, more or less
masak arnsholt: by the way -- I didn't mention before -- as a Python 2 user I've trained myself to always inherit from object, so I don't end up with the old (non-)MOP. 15:11
arnsholt Basically a zero-arg call to a function named super() will magically get two arguments: the first argument passed (and looked up in the actually bound arguments, *not* by name!) and __class__
Yeah, I recently learned about old-style classes when trying to figure out why my descriptors weren't called 15:12
masak: Exegesis: github.com/python/cpython/blob/mas...3341-L3377 15:13
masak I just tried on the Python REPL.
apparently it's `super(D)` (for your class D)
and the object you get back is a <type 'super'>, that is, a special magic object
arnsholt Basically, object.__new__ compares cls.{__new__,__init__} to object.{__new__,__init__} and only complains in some cases 15:14
Oh, in this case Python 3 and Python 2 are different
Python 3 has a magical zero-arg super(), but Python 2 doesn't
masak aha.
arnsholt Because reasons, presumably 15:15
masak where does Python 3 get "the current class" from?
arnsholt It's implicitly inserted, of course! =)
masak but you can also provide it explicitly? 15:16
arnsholt If your function mentions super() or a variable __class__ you automatically get a variable __class__ (containing the current class, obv)
Yeah, there's a two-arg form of super too
"__class__ is an implicit closure reference created by the compiler if any methods in a class body refer to either __class__ or super. " 15:17
RabidGravy the bunch of __name__ things is what upsets me most about python
masak I used to not like them.
but then I realized they're basically equivalent to Perl's "pipes sticking out". 15:18
it's just that Perl likes symbols, like $. and $/
and Python really likes underscores

RabidGravy this is true 15:20

geekosaur hm, I'd have compared them to uppercase 15:30
they tend to be the magic names invoked automatically by various things
15:30 zakharyas left
masak that's also a nice comparison 15:31
except Perl 6 uppercases all kinds of things, like EVAL :P
arnsholt Yeah, they're not too bad. And descriptors are really neat 15:32
masak Python's attribute access feels very close to JavaScript's. but for some reason I like Python's better.
probably mostly because Python gets the "bound method" waterbed wrinkle very right. 15:33
JavaScript, Perl 5 and Perl 6 all fail at that, all in different ways.
rjbs descriptors? 15:39
Oh yes! 15:40
I had forgotten all about those, gosh.
arnsholt Yeah the whole method thing confused me a lot until I got it
15:41 smls joined
moritz it just seems weird that calling a method is accessing an attribute + calling it, but then there's magic (descriptors) to make the attribute access itself call a method 15:41

PerlJam masak: please blog on the subject and include (possibly rebut) moritz's observation :-) 15:46
