Hotkeys timotimo: no I'm not really experienced with optimizing yet 00:31
haven't even tried --profile
I was just going off of some stuff suggested in the original paper for the algo
timotimo yeah, though you may run into some opposite-of-good spots in rakudo performance if you're not aware of those pitfalls 00:38
Hotkeys I'm not really sure how to use the profiler data 00:46
00:49 kid51 joined
timotimo what i always do first is open the "routines" tab and sort by "exclusive" 00:52
that'll put the routine where most time is spent at the top and you can see if that makes sense
in the allocations tab you can see if some kind of "underlying" object gets allocated way too often
in the GC tab, usually you'll have almost completely green bars. if you don't then something may be not-so-good 00:53
Hotkeys alright 00:55
fewer deoptimizations is good right?
llfourn m: { my module Rat::Exterminator { } }; say Rat::Exterminator; # lexical packages aren't lexical if the name exists outside the lexical scope 00:58
camelia rakudo-moar e93a06: OUTPUT«(Exterminator)␤»
yoleaux 18 Feb 2016 20:11Z <sortiz> llfourn: That the loader doesn't create unneeded package stubs looks good to me, so appending to those provided by settings can't be a problem, unless we want "reserved" namespaces.
llfourn the above worries me a bit
timotimo deoptimizations aren't usually terribly bad 01:00
sortiz llfourn, Yes, but that is an orthogonal problem. 01:01
llfourn sortiz: which problem is it orthogonal to? 01:02
sortiz That the loader don't create unneeded stubs. 01:03
llfourn in the context of require?
sortiz Yes.
llfourn what's the unneeded stub in this case? 01:05
sortiz None in this case (Rat::...)
llfourn you mean require CompUnit::Util doesn't create a CompUnit package that is UNIT scoped
like in the UNIT's globalish 01:06
01:06 raiph left
llfourn to me they are no orthogonal problems they are caused by the same thing. Scoped packaged declarations leak into the .WHO of SETTING:: stuff 01:07
whether it's our scoped in a compunit or lexical scoped in a block they are both ending up in the SETTING packages 01:08
Hotkeys does anyone know if there is any performance difference between doing type constraints with 'where' inline vs making a subset?
llfourn Hotkeys: pretty sure it's the same
Hotkeys alright
sortiz In the IO::Socket::SSL case IO::Socket can't be "created", they already exists. So, after require IO::Socket::SSL, what can I expect to be in the lexical scope? 01:09
llfourn sortiz: you can create lexical versions of packages 01:10
m: my class IO::Socket { }

AlexDaniel how can I smartmatch without writing $_ ~~ ? 01:15
llfourn AlexDaniel: when
AlexDaniel right
thanks
sortiz llfourn, yes, but seems that that "special lexical package" don't exists yet. :) 01:16
AlexDaniel whan about negated when?
llfourn AlexDaniel: I have said that I wanted a negated when b4 but didn't get much enthusiasm :P 01:17
AlexDaniel :/
llfourn sortiz: I think the way forward is for me to RT and we can discuss further :)
AlexDaniel: I made some kind on incomprehsible gist here: gist.github.com/LLFourn/9e08d3a94b08af9d5c38 01:18
sortiz llfourn, Totally agree.
llfourn AlexDaniel: I suggested ¬, which would create a negated subset of the thing it's in front of 01:19
Hotkeys we could call negated when "nguyen" 01:30
(nwhen)
llfourn: AlexDaniel:
AlexDaniel nguyen ???
01:31 parisba_ is now known as parisba
skids "never" 01:32
Hotkeys It's a popular vietnamese last name
sounds more or less like "nwen" out loud
AlexDaniel oh wow! It takes forever for JSON::Tiny to spurt a json with a simple array of size 6000
Hotkeys what about with JSON::Fast 01:33
llfourn Hotkeys: I think there should be a general way to negate something in terms of ACCEPTS. I think I'll make a module eventually. 01:34
AlexDaniel Hotkeys: if only there was JSON::Fast::Pretty 01:35
Hotkeys Make it :D

Hotkeys when should I use := over =? 02:20
skids When you do not want a container. 02:21
orbus is still trying to wrap his head around containers 02:22
the current documentation could probably be improved
skids docs.perl6.org/type/Scalar is a good place to start.
02:23 molaf left
orbus yeah, I more or less understand the simple case 02:26
02:27 stmuk_ joined
orbus $a = 1; $b := $a; $b=2; now $a is 2 as well 02:27
but not sure I really understand what's actually going on under the hood
the Scalar docs explain it, but could maybe be a little clearer 02:28
skids m: my $a = 1; my $b := $a; $a.VAR.WHICH.say; $b.VAR.WHICH.say; # Maybe that makes it clearer? 02:29

Juerd orbus: Think of a container as a place in memory where a value can be stored.
orbus right, well in that case it seems more accurate to say that := makes a variable point to an already existing container 02:38
Juerd That's right. 02:39
llfourn sortiz: rt.perl.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=127569
skids Well, if the riht hand side is a container.
orbus true 02:40
Juerd Unlike actual pointers to memory, though, binding gives you a new variable, which can have extra information attached to it, like 'access to the container is read only'.
orbus yeah
like I said, I more or less understand the simple case
Juerd Subroutine parameters use the same thing as :=
orbus but not sure I fully understand all the implications 02:41
Juerd There aren't a lot of implications, except the lack of a copy being made :)
orbus well the Scalar docs mention some stuff around lists 02:42
Hotkeys So is it faster to use binding when possible?
orbus and flattening and whatnot
Hotkeys performance wise
Juerd After "my $a := 42", it makes little sense to assign a new value to $a, because you equally wouldn't assign a new value to 42.
Hotkeys or is the difference negligible 02:43
sortiz llfourn++
Juerd orbus: There are ways to destructure when binding. So you can unpack named arguments, or unpack arrays and lists to individual variables.
Hotkeys: I think it should be faster but I haven't benchmarked it.
sortiz llfourn, To me, there are a clash between 'my' and named (with ::) symbols.
Juerd I'm inclined to say that if you like to use :=, you should probably use it whenever you don't need a copy. So that is, prefer := over = 02:44
llfourn containers + autovivification do interesting things
m: my %h; my $a := %h<foo><bar>; $a = "win"; say %h.perl
camelia rakudo-moar e93a06: OUTPUT«{:foo(${:bar("win")})}␤»
02:45 ilbot3 left
Juerd Or, put differently, use := when you need easier access to something, and = if you want something's value to change. 02:45
orbus how does := interact with objects? 02:46
llfourn sortiz: there certainly is in the implementation. I think the idea is that it's perfectly valid.
orbus for example
Juerd orbus: It doesn't send them messages.
llfourn orbus: everything is an object :P
orbus well, in principal yes
Juerd Not just in principle 02:47
02:47 ilbot3 joined
Juerd You have to dig deep to encounter something that is not an object. 02:47
skids natives aren't properly they just box that way. 02:48
sortiz llfourn, See my example above, an Stash was created, but I can't access it, and in MY a funny named was created.
Juerd skids: I think natives are digging deep.
orbus m: my $c=Channel.new; my $b=$c; my$x=start $b.send(1); put $c.receive; await $x
camelia rakudo-moar e93a06: OUTPUT«1␤»
Juerd skids: I never said you couldn't use an easy-to-use machine to dig. ;)
orbus like in this example
$c and $b both point to the same Channel
llfourn looks 02:49
02:49 yqt left
skids Actually $c and $b each point to Scalars, and each of those two Scalars point to the same Channel. 02:49
orbus see that's where I'm not sure I fully understand the implications 02:50
I read that
but I'm not entirely sure I fully understand what it means
since Scalars are mostly invisible
Juerd orbus: I don't think it's necessary to understand what it really means. I didn't know this at a level that I could explain it to someone, yet when using Perl 6 all of it just did what I wanted it to do. 02:51
orbus yeah... that's the problem
Juerd But if you really want to know it all, there's the source... :)
orbus it usually does what I want it to do, until it bites me in the butt
Juerd I found Perl 5's model easier to understand, but I find Perl 6's model easier to work with, even though I don't really understand it yet. 02:52
orbus perl5 references had their own failings 02:53
geekosaur p5's model is easier o understand until it suddenly isn't and you find yourself pitchforked into weird, idiosyncratic internals
Juerd geekosaur: I can't recall a single time that this has happened to me.
Whereas I keep getting bitten by subtle bugs in rakudo/moar
llfourn m: my $a = "foo"; my $b = $a; say $a.WHERE; say $b.WHERE # '=' doesn't copy values 02:54
camelia rakudo-moar e93a06: OUTPUT«140356844017296␤140356844017296␤»
geekosaur you usually have to be messing with the weird corner cases to start with. like dualvars
timotimo Hotkeys: i'd be very interested to hear how you went about optimizing; were you able to get anything out of the profile at all? 02:55
geekosaur also, as for bugs, kinda unfair to be comparing a language that was just released to one that's been around for years
decades even
skids m: my $c = (1,2,3); my $d := (1,2,3); sub a ($l is rw) { $l = (3,4,5) }; a($c); $c.say; a($d); # One implication of a Scalar
camelia rakudo-moar e93a06: OUTPUT«(3 4 5)␤Parameter '$l' expected a writable container, but got List value␤ in sub a at /tmp/Sih95IepCq line 1␤ in block <unit> at /tmp/Sih95IepCq line 1␤␤»
Juerd geekosaur: It would be unfair if I didn't compare it to anything else. 02:56
geekosaur: Really, we need the comparisons to improve Perl 6.
orbus we're at the stage now where fixing implementation bugs is top priority
well that and performance
now that the design is more or less finalized 02:57
Juerd orbus: It might be, but not many people actually do that. It's hard to find people who have the right skill set and enough time.
orbus that is of course true
Juerd I don't know if there's a solution to that problem 02:58
orbus but really goes for the whole task of implementing a language, top to bottom
Juerd Yep.
llfourn is amazed how some core devs have jobs but still manage to contribute so much
orbus I know my rusty C skills are nowhere near sufficient
I barely remember how pointers work
Juerd orbus: A lot of Perl 6 is written in Perl 6!
02:58 wamba left
orbus I know - I've dug into the internals somewhat 02:59
Juerd Usually not very readable Perl 6, because it has to perform well, but at least it's much easier than C.
orbus at least in a few areas
I used to be pretty good at C
but it's all flown out of my head
need to pull out my K&R book and re-read it sometime
I still remember that book having the most concise explanation of pointer syntax I've seen anywhere 03:00
Juerd I'm excited that in a minute or so, the robot vacuum cleaner at the office will do its thing.
Nobody's there
Our first robot :)
orbus nobody's around - it might decide to murder you
keep an eye on it
Juerd It's a vacuum cleaner. I'll hear it coming :) 03:01
orbus and yet you don't fear it, so that might not be enough
you aren't expecting murder, even if you hear it coming
Juerd Apart from its lithium batteries I don't think it has any equipment that could actually hurt someone.
orbus might just be an advance scout for the robot legions
Juerd It would make a good scout 03:02
geekosaur xkcd.com/1558/
Juerd It maps every part of the floor.
orbus I thought about getting a roomba before, but my house has way too many obstacles
Juerd I didn't get a roomba for the office. 03:03
There are two kinds of roomba: the very expensive one, and the brainless one that just bumps at random.
orbus this is the former I take it? 03:04
Juerd We got a neato. It's about as cheap as the cheaper roombas, but it actually has a lidar 03:05
It came in today and I've let it do the entire office twice already. Probably spent at least half an hour just watching it. 03:06
Could have vacuumed the entire floor myself in that time... :P 03:07
orbus will it get faster after it's completed its reconnaissance?
Juerd Yes. First it goes around the edges, bumping into things. Then it zigzags through the area quite fast. 03:08
Hotkeys timotimo: eh not really, I just got rid of the hashmap I was using and just used the arrays instead
orbus oh, but it doesn't remember the map of the area between runs? 03:09

Herby_ Evening, everyone! 03:09
Hotkeys (I was sticking input -> expected out into a hash)
hello Herby_
skids Speed doesn't really matter with those things, as long as it is fast enough to get the job done without getting underfoot.
Juerd No, but it will charge and continue where it left off if the area is too big for its battery.
Herby_ \o
Juerd Hi Herby_
Herby_ o/
I see your Perl 6 entry is the top solution :) 03:10
Hotkeys timotimo: I did acquire ~20 1.2mb profiles though :p
skids wonders whether SLAM algorithms are at all interesting for discovering Perl 6 idioms.
Juerd The botvac will also divide an area into rectangles, imagining a wall at the edge of it. It's interesting to see it do a long hallway.
skids: Ooooooh. Probably! 03:11
timotimo Hotkeys: yeah, they tend to be quite big. they contain the whole call tree :S
03:11 adu left
Hotkeys timotimo: that's fine, I have plenty of space 03:11
timotimo if someone would be so fantastic as to make the "finite callgraph depth recording" branch work, we could profile the compilation of the core setting 03:12
Hotkeys if anyone can take a cursory look at my Porter module to see if there's any glaring optimizations I could make I'd appreciate it :) 03:16
timotimo goes to bed 03:17
i'm super late already ;)
Hotkeys sleep well
github.com/johnspurr/Lingua-EN-Stem-Porter if anyone's interested
it did about 3000 word per second in my wordlist test which seems reasonably quick 03:19
I don't really have a comparison 03:20
I suppose I could test some other implementations that have been done as a benchmark
maybe I'll do that tomorrow
skids Hotkeys: It probably won't make a difference, but maybe make e.g. %step2hash a Map instead of a Hash? 03:29
AlexDaniel Herby_: hi 03:31
Hotkeys skids: I'll try that
AlexDaniel Herby_: see my solution here: gist.github.com/AlexDaniel/b952b73284a083973802
sortiz Finally I could answer private messages, shame on previous attempts.
Herby_ AlexDaniel: I was gonna ask if you figured out the other half of the diagnol 03:32
AlexDaniel Herby_: I haven't really found any easier way to find diagonals, but that's still pretty short
Herby_ its a working solution?
AlexDaniel yes
Herby_ Nice!
You gonna post it?
AlexDaniel skids got it better with something like: my @ax = |(([\,] ^@map).cache), |((^@map).tail(@map - $_).cache for ^@map); (@ax.reverse »,« @ax);
it is a bit shorter but it is not really correct 03:33
Herby_: I don't have a reddit account and I am not going to make one for that. So maybe you can post it?
skids Hotkeys: are the things like 'ous||ive||ize' required to be tried in order?
Herby_ I can post it and give you the credit 03:34
Hotkeys not in that one
Herby_ one sec
Hotkeys is it faster to do an alternation with | ?
skids Maybe try | instead, might be better, might be worse.
(More likely to be better with more alts) 03:35
AlexDaniel Herby_: actually wait 1 second I think that I found a tiny bug :)
Herby_ k
AlexDaniel Herby_: fixed, same link 03:36
03:36 synopsebot6 joined
Herby_ k, bout to post 03:36
Hotkeys hmm the map thing didn't change the times really 03:38
let's try the alternation thing
Herby_ AlexDaniel: got it posted. Let me know if you want to change the description :) 03:40
AlexDaniel Herby_: it's great, thanks
Herby_ this week's [Hard] puzzle will be posted tomorrow, if you get bored 03:41
AlexDaniel Herby_: getting diagonals is really hard, such a pity :(
what I don't like about my solution is that these two lines are basically binary blobs, heh 03:42
Herby_ I'm not sharp enough to fully understand the solution, but it looks good compared to the others
Hotkeys hm yeah neither of those made any noticable difference for better or worse
thanks anyway skids
AlexDaniel Herby_: well, the idea is that when you do ｢for @map｣ you are iterating over rows 03:43
Herby_: so if you want to change any cell you just write back and that's it
Herby_: so it says ｢<-> $cell｣ and then just ｢$cell = ‘*’｣ 03:44
Herby_ hmm ok
AlexDaniel Herby_: surprisingly, we can do ｢(@map[*;$_] for ^@map)｣ and it will give us the columns
Herby_: but not just the columns, but a writable slice from the original array
Herby_: so if we do $cell = ‘something’ it will actually write it back!
so the question was how to get slices diagonally… and I kinda did that. It is just a bit unreadable :( 03:45
Herby_: but other than that the code does not really care if you are operating on columns, rows, diagonals, or any of those in reverse
which is really cool 03:46
03:46 Khisanth joined
AlexDaniel Herby_: not sure if you are actually following me but what I was trying to say is that this solution is dead simple if you just take my word that these two lines return writable diagonal slices :) 03:48

10:24 synopsebot6 left, synopsebot6 joined 10:25 TEttinger joined
jnthn Just <&callwith> ? 10:26
But yeah, I can kinda see why it may not work out. 10:27
llfourn same as <.&callwith>.
jnthn Yeah 10:28
Makes sense
Trouble is that you end up passing the cursor in such cases, but callsame/callwith don't expect that
llfourn but isn't the token expecting the cursor? 10:29
jnthn Yes. But think about how you usually call callsame (as a sub, without args)
<&callsame> compiles into callsame(self) 10:30
Not just callsame()
Because that's what you usually want
llfourn callwith() as well right?
jnthn Yeah, same problem, you don't callwith(self, ...) in a method, just callwith(...)
and callwith resolves the self
llfourn makes sensish. I also tried doing a doing a more manual call of a token like token delegate { { something.($¢) } } 10:33
which kinda worked but I could't get the match state returned from something($¢) into the $/ after the block was over
jnthn No, short of .make you can't really do that :) 10:34
llfourn oh ok 10:35
nine The files seem to be encoded with x264 - core 142 r2431 a5831aa - H.264/MPEG-4 AVC codec
jnthn In theory we could add callsame and callwith tokens in Grammar.pm, so grammar tokens inherit them, and do what trickery is needed there, if there's a strong enough use case. Then a simple <callsame> would work. 10:37
I'd like to hear what TimToady thinks about it first, though :)
llfourn jnthn: this is actually in the context of a slang of Perl6::Grammar. I was looking for ways to call the original token I had overriden. 10:39
it would be cool if it worked :)
the slang is getting kinda big and I actually want to write it in a .nqp file. I'm loooking into how to do that now. 10:40

El_Che let's see 11:25
rudi_s How can I safely write to IO::Handle (or IO::Pipe) from a native call with a function which uses .native-descriptor and from Perl6 itself? I want to write to stdin from a program I spawn with run with a native function. 11:28
nine rudi_s: how do you define "safe"?
rudi_s It won't cause problems with Perl6 internal buffering and similar. "safe" as in all writes will be complete and not intermix when I write from Perl6 and NativeCall in different order. 11:29
jnthn rudi_s: Best is probably to make sure you call .flush on the Perl 6 handle before using it with NativeCall, and call the native flush also. 11:31
(Before using it with Perl 6 I/O again) 11:32
rudi_s Good. Thank you.
El_Che nine: maybe what bites is that the changes in the new version are in the script file and not in the lib/. I see perl6 populating the cache for everything in lib 11:33
jnthn rudi_s: Note that reading is a totally different kettle of fish. You almost certainly shouldn't mix between native and Perl 6 there. 11:34
dalek kudo/nom: cd62316 | timotimo++ | lib/NativeCall/Types.pm6:
replace unwieldy Proxy with atposref in int/num typed CArray
rudi_s jnthn: Yeah, I thought so. Thanks. 11:35
timotimo ^- i haven't measured this - especially since my code directly hits ASSIGN-POS anyway - but it should be a bit snappier than what it used to be
and once spesh knows about atposref and the other kinds of refs, it'll be even better when inlined

moritz and btw, GPW2016 is full (reached the 100 people limit imposed by room capacity) 11:49
stmuk_ moritz: we dreamed of continuous delivery .. reality was "change control"
timotimo jnthn: the next thing that sticks out is 31% exclusive (37.5% inclusive) time spent in postcircumfix:<[ ]>
moritz stmuk_: one of my main points is that you can introduce it gradually; first automate the build step, then the upload to a repo, then the installation etc. (and you can still have manual approval before deploying to prod) 11:50
stmuk_: and change control and CD are rather complementary, not contradictory
stmuk_ moritz: ok ok I'll attend your talk :) 11:51
timotimo jnthn: it's hitting the "(\SELF, int $pos, Mu \assignee) is raw" candidate that directly calls SELF.ASSIGN-POS($pos, assignee), so i'm not sure why it'd take so long 11:52
lizmat timotimo: int candidates are slower because spesh doesn't know about them yet ? 11:53
timotimo i'm not sure that's it; that candidate gets 100% jitted and there's not enough IntLexRef being allocated for that to be the particular problem here 11:54
jnthn Odd...is there a bounds check (for < 0) in the postcircumfix:<[ ]> ? 11:55
timotimo the code is a 2-dimensional loop that fills a CArray of "raw pixel data" with black or white pixels; the outer loop gets entered 11280 times in this particular piece of code, and that's also how many IntLexRef are being allocated
jnthn: not in this candidate, no
postcircumfix:<[ ]> is being invoked 3609600 times, for comparison
ASSIGN-POS is invoked 3609835 times, where the difference is probably due to spesh warm-up time 11:56
11:56 Amendil joined
timotimo and ASSIGN-POS is where the 6.14% inclusive & exclusive time that were the difference between exclusive and inclusive in the postcircumfix come from 11:57

jnthn I think it comes under the more general "write bytecode instrumentations in a high level language" goal for Moar 12:01
arnsholt jnthn: Speaking of deploying with rsync, I recently worked on a project where my boss basically expected the SVN checkout of the repo to be deployable in our production environment =)
timotimo hm. but GC runs isn't a thing where the bytecode instrumentation could easily hook into 12:02
RabidGravy Oh I've so worked places like that
timotimo arnsholt: as long as that's clearly communicated and people are allowed to work with branches, what's the problem with that?
jnthn timotimo: Yeah, I'm thinking of it more generally as a meta-VM API. :) 12:03
arnsholt It made it a bit of a pain to test things locally
timotimo OK
jnthn So there'd be callbacks on various interesting events
timotimo SGTM
arnsholt And branches in SVN are kind of annoying, although I had git-svn, so I had ninja branches locally
timotimo i'm not quite certain why the GC runs are all about 15 miliseconds each for this particular benchmark 12:04

12:04 ely-se left

jnthn OK. Probably need a C-level profile to understand that better. 12:05
sortiz Skarsnik++ # The fix for nativecall docs
timotimo ah, sure, can do that!

timotimo github.com/MattOates/BioInfo as well as github.com/cjfields/bioperl6
yo stmuk_ did you see my issue on vimcolour?
[Coke] (stmuk_) so rakudo-latest will always be targeting the HEAD of 6.c-errata for its 6.c support. 15:36
if we have to change the 6.c tests too much, we'll do so with a 6.c.1 tag (and then errata until the next version) 15:37

jabowery I've installed rakudobrew sometime back (there is a fully populated ~/.rakudobrew directory) but for some reason nothing the environment doesn't let me execute anything -- not 'perl6', not 'rakudo', not 'moar' and not even 'rakudobrew'. Clearly there was some step in the installation process that set up .bashrc or something with environment variables that got trashed. Any ideas how to recover, or should I just blitz that dir and 16:07
reinstall?
s/nothing// 16:08
timotimo yeah, you have to have ~/.rakudobrew/bin in your PATH variable for it to work
if it's quite old, you would probably want to "rakudobrew self-update" or what it's called after you set up the PATH
(that gets you the newest version of rakudobrew itself)

is there something similar to kwargs in Perl6?
as in , in Ruby i can do def foo(*args, **kwargs){ } ; foo(1,2,3,{a: 1, b:2}) 16:13
timotimo of course, it's spelled *%foo in our case
just like *@bar is for positional arguments
gregf_ oh so foo(*@bar, *%baz) would be it? 16:14
RabidGravy yep
MadcapJake Which one in this SO answer is Rakudo? stackoverflow.com/a/749218/1274498 16:15
geekosaur but there's also proper declared keyword arguments
gregf_ timotimo: RabidGravy : cheers 16:16
geekosaur MadcapJake, 4 but barely as the JI is still young
*JIT
timotimo right. we don't outperform native compilation often yet
MadcapJake I was thinking either 3 or 4, but can you explain what JIT really does? Or more, how does Rakudo's JIT work. 16:17
timotimo easy peasy
when the VM decides some piece of code is worthy of JIT compilation, it takes the bytecode that was used so far and turns that into native code. after that, instead of letting the interpreter go through that bytecode, it'll instead just jump right into the native code 16:18
reality is, of course, much more complicated
geekosaur also, rakudo itself doesn't do JIT. it compiles to moarvm or JVM bytecode, and JIT is implemented at that level (in moarvm or JRE)
MadcapJake neat, so it searches for particular patterns that would benefit from being completely native and compiles and runs them as such?
16:19 prammer left
timotimo something like that, yeah 16:19
16:19 Cheery left
timotimo in MoarVM, deciding what benefits and what doesn't is simply "how often has this piece of code been run yet?" 16:19
and the current jit works on a per-frame level
so a single pair of curly braces, usually. but we often in-line curly braces into their "parents", and we try to inline small subs and methods that get called into the caller's code as well. 16:20
16:20 khw joined
MadcapJake neat! 16:20
any idea where the name "Just In Time" came from? I'm not really seeing the connection to what it does in practice. 16:21
timotimo well, regular compilers are often called "Ahead Of Time"
perlpilot timotimo: and where are the language level hooks so that I can tweak the when and what gets jitted? ;)
MadcapJake ahh i see, makes sense when you consider that 16:22
timotimo perlpilot: not yet, but a language-level API for instrumenting bytecode is planned
16:22 pmurias joined
geekosaur I think it was borrowed from manufacturing, actually. Just In Time there is an inventory system which aims to ensure that raw materials needed for manufacturing arrive Just In Time for the manufacturing step, because having to store them in inventory is fairly expensive. 16:22
when translated to virtual machines, that means generaitng native code Just In Time for it to be run insead of ahead of schedule 16:23
MadcapJake geekosaur, fascinating!

jnthn stmuk_: The answer to "what linux distributions target" is generally "what they decide, but I expect most will go for LTS releases"
pmurias MadcapJake: the main reason for generating code JIT is that more information is available at runtime
ugexe what is the sequence consumed in the second example, but not the first?
why^ 16:26
jnthn ugexe: Once to boolean test it, and then the assignment also wants to consume it
MadcapJake pmurias, what do you mean by "more information"?
perlpilot MadcapJake: you know how the code is *actually* being used at runtime.
jnthn ugexe: You'll need a .cache for that
geekosaur and in btoh cases if it turns out your JIT was wrong (or manufacturing, wrong or out of spec material; for VMs, you generated code that works for some cases but not the current one) you incur a stall. it's somewhat cheaper to recover in the VM case, though, so that's in some ways considered a feature. in particular you can if necessary fall back to running the bytecode if it's a special case that only comes up once, while leaving the JIT code for
the common cases
jnthn MadcapJake: Consider trying to compile a sub foo($a) { $a.bar }. Even if we compile that to native code, we can't do a very good job, because we don't know anything about $a, let alone the nature of the receiver of a bar message sent to it. 16:27
MadcapJake: If we put of the compilation until runtime, we might know $a is nearly always a Pub object, and that its bar method is a cheap accessor, so we can devirtualize the method call and inline the cheap accessor, for example. 16:28
MadcapJake so upon arriving at that bit of code you would check the scope for $a and what it is? 16:29
geekosaur you need to check that anyway
MadcapJake sure but is that check where the decision to devirtualize would happen? 16:30
jnthn MadcapJake: We record call counts, and then we start logging what actual types show up, yeah
Then we generate optimized versions of the code by type
And within those sections they can make a bunch of assumptions

El_Che is there an obvious ways to remove perl6 modules. I am building a docker image for a perl6 app, I the standard way is to get rid of everything that the app doesn't need. I used panda at build time. So I'd like to remove it after I get my application and it's dependencies. With .precomp I am kind of lost
timotimo El_Che: since .precomp is just a cache, you can just delete every .precome folder on your whole system (provided rakudo's the only one who uses .precomp) 16:37
oh, btw, maybe we should rename .precomp .p6precomp or something?
ugexe if you use zef you don't even have to install it
El_Che ugexe: I tried zef today while experimenting but it got stuck in Text::CSV 16:38
ugexe but if you do it can also uninstall (if you are using a rakudo from the last weekish)
El_Che ugexe: zef supports uninstalls?
|Tux| El_Che, my fault?
ugexe if you have a rakudo from the last weekish, yes
timotimo CompUnitRepo recently got a .uninstall folder. i only saw mention of that scroll through the backlog, but i assume panda could be made to easily support that 16:39

Woodi hi #perl6 :)
perlpilot ugexe: I wonder what multi actually executes?
timotimo gregf_: you're measuring mostly start-up time there
potentially
gregf_ hmm, possibly 17:09
timotimo you could try running foo for ^10_000 and just stringify, but not print the kwargs
perlpilot gregf_: also ... rakudo still has some optimization to do, so it will (probably) get faster.
timotimo yes, it will 17:10
Woodi lizmat: optimizations like "replace small amount of code with page or two" are well beyoud my brain capacity :) lizmat++

timotimo usually, Pointer; you can always nativecast afterwards 17:44
gregf_: also, the perl6 code in your benchmark isn't the same as at least the python code, because the perl6 version gives the %kwargs as the return value of the function you declared
AFK for a bit
rudi_s Basically a char * pointer but not encoded/decoded. On the perl side I have Buf. 17:45
How can I pass that as "raw" value to the C function?
(Btw. how can I convert a Str to a Buf?)
timotimo there's a helper module for things like that in the ecosystem 17:47
you'd use a CArray for that in NativeCall
pmurias jnthn: how does nqp::callercode work with inlining?
timotimo because you cannot create a Buf without knowing the length of the thing
gregf_ timotimo: gist.github.com/anonymous/b3cfa48fdbba487aa3a2 *looks better*
timotimo gregf_: it'd be interesting to see what time perl6 -e 'say "hi"' gives you

gregf_ sure
timotimo used to be at 0:00.10 not long ago. i wonder what changed
rudi_s timotimo: CArray of which type?
timotimo doesn't really matter. probably int8? or uint8? 17:49
if you want to see the most terrible thing ever created to get a void ** to work, have a look at this: github.com/timo/SDL2_raw-p6/blob/m...ise.p6#L37
stmuk_ timotimo: textbox is worth a look as a more modern and simplier ncurses
gregf_ timotimo: nope. its slower :/. almost 3 seconds
timotimo github.com/timo/SDL2_raw-p6/blob/m...aw.pm#L190 - this is the declaration of LockTexture to go with that
gregf_: how can say "hi" take 3 seconds, but a hundred thousand calls to foo take less than one second? 17:50
rudi_s timotimo: I'm confused about the "doesn't really matter". Won't this be represented as a char * internally - otherwise passing it to the external app won't work.
gregf_ timotimo: anyways, gtg, thanks. *later*

rudi_s timotimo: Sorry. I'll explain again. I have either a Str or a Buf and want to pass that "raw" to a C function which takes a void * and a length and then writes this data somewhere.
timotimo ah 17:53
gregf_: no, i meant before that. when you got a parrot-based rakudo
rudi_s (I just learned that I can encode a Str to a Blob, so the question becomes how to handle a Buf or Blob and pass that.) 17:54
timotimo rudi_s: i'm not 100% sure about how to pass a Buf. theoretically, it should work as-is, but i suspect it isn't implemented yet
otherwise, have you checked out that nativecall helper module i talked about earlier?

though i hope i won't leave it unmaintained for that long :)
maybe something more "complicated" than just a single version would be interesting to have in the "perl" field
nine Of course newer versions of your module will be well tested with newer versions of Perl6 by then. But the old version won't.

sjn what features are affected by that speedup? 20:02
lizmat tr/abc/def
moritz lizmat: is there anything special post-christmas that I have to be aware of when splitting test files? 20:03
in particular I want to split up t/spec/S06-operator-overloading/sub.t into several files
because it's so memory hungry
Woodi moritz: 71s: it means newer openstack software or just new instance ?
lizmat I think that's fine, jnthn [Coke] objections ?
[Coke] moritz: you can do whatever you want on roast/master - it's not 6.c
lizmat moritz: it's about the test, not where the test lives 20:04
El_Che lizmat: stop making rakudo fast otherwise won't get the grant ;)
[Coke] if you want to split it for 6.c, that's also possible, on the 6.c errata branch, as long as the tests themselves don't change.
rudi_s timotimo: Regarding my problem above (passing Buf/Blob to external function with takes void *), just using Blob as parameter works fine.
moritz Woodi: it means that $work is testing a new openstack cluster, and I got free access, so spun up a new instance 20:05
Woodi bruteforce... 20:06
Skarsnik rudi_s, yes, I think Blob and Buff work as sub argument (but not return, or struct) 20:07

ugexe HEAD~2 to HEAD
lizmat hmmm... that could only be the bump in nqp/moarvm then
ugexe 65a2e89 to 120347b
rudi_s Skarsnik: Depends on the system. I guess I can't get this portable. 20:25
Skarsnik You could write a small C helper
or add the type in rakudo and co if it's a serious concern 20:26
lizmat ugexe: fwiw, I'm seeing a 1.5x slowdown for Juerd's atbash example :-(
ugexe i only checked because i knew it used trans (actually it was to-json but i didnt know that before checking) 20:27

that could also explain why my white noise code was so heavy on malloc and free

And just have a handful of tests for in/at on the ThreadPoolScheduler itself that really try and test it does something sensible with time.
Everything else builds atop of .cue in ThreadPoolScheduler.

lizmat as for .throttle ?
jnthn *nod*
I want to try and design a nice enough one that I can put it on modules.perl6.org too, as well as including it in the spectest repo
