»ö« Welcome to Perl 6! | perl6.org/ | evalbot usage: 'p6: say 3;' or rakudo:, or /msg camelia p6: ... | irclog: irc.perl6.org or colabti.org/irclogger/irclogger_logs/perl6 | UTF-8 is our friend!
Set by moritz on 22 December 2015.
Xliff perlawhirl: It's not a bad idea from my viewpoint. 00:47
The only problem is I don't know if p6 can pass expressions as arguments to be evaluated.
I haven't progressed that far into the language, yet.
perlawhirl well, yeah i asked my question earlier, because if i knew how to make it into a module i would. 00:48
perlawhirl it's more of a question of whether the parser can understand it, but the subset syntax is fairly unique, so it shouldn't be a problem to differentiate the use of `where` elsewhere 00:50
geekosaur that requires a macro normally (note that macros are still rather slushy) but * can make autoclosures under some circumstances
Success p6: say 3; 00:51
camelia rakudo-moar e57e63: OUTPUT«3␤»
geekosaur so in the subset syntax `where * < 5` the expression is a WhateverCode, which is a closure
perlawhirl yes... but it's also a Whatever closure when used in a grep method: @list.grep(* < 5) 00:52
Xliff > sub test($a) { say $a.WHAT }; test(* %% 2); 00:53
(WhateverCode)
Neat
Problem now is how you evaluate what's in $a over a list. 00:54
perlawhirl the functionilty is there. it's called grep, i'm just suggesting an additional name for it 00:56
sjn is there actually a way to "alias" function names in Perl 6?
perlawhirl well, that was my original question, but i go no real response 00:57
geekosaur sjn, for global functions yes, methods are a harder issue
"global"
Juerd m: sub foo { 42 }; my &bar = &foo; say bar() 00:58
camelia rakudo-moar e57e63: OUTPUT«42␤»
Juerd Although := more closely resembles aliasing:
m: sub foo { 42 }; my &bar := &foo; say bar()
camelia rakudo-moar e57e63: OUTPUT«42␤»
perlawhirl yeah, i know i can do it with functions 00:59
Juerd But?
perlawhirl m: my &where = &grep; say where { $_ < 5 }, ^10
camelia rakudo-moar e57e63: OUTPUT«(0 1 2 3 4)␤»
perlawhirl but who uses grep as a function any more :D
Juerd Can you repeat your question then? 01:00
perlawhirl originally... i asked "am i able to rename a method (eg. grep) to something else... or rather, create a method that basically points to grep" 01:01
Xliff Juerd: perlawhirl wants to add a .where alias to the List class
Juerd Ah. I don't know.
Xliff Which just points to .grep
Juerd I think 'where' would be confusing, because it already means something else
perlawhirl Juerd: did you read my gist? gist.github.com/0racle/ea0523759e2da15758d4 01:02
sjn .inwhich
.assuming
sjn .lookingfor 01:02
Xliff .seek
Juerd perlawhirl: Will do so now
Xliff O WAI.
That might get confused with IO ops. 01:03
timotimo .getFeeder.getHand.bite()
perlawhirl one of the design principle i read somewhere was about reusing syntax. there's also things about perl6 being less unix centric, and prior art with unix-y operators given friendlier names
Xliff timo x 2: nom nom nom
Juerd perlawhirl: I've read it now. I don't think it's very useful to rename or alias it.
perlawhirl: I think it's entirely okay if the proverbial 7 year old girl learns a tiny bit of unix :) 01:04
geekosaur assuming is taken
perlawhirl hah!
Juerd Besides, I like infix ops for grep more than methods, I think
geekosaur and I think the problem with obvious ways to alias or rename something is that it's Difficult to capture both named and positional parameters and pass them on properly (although Captures are likely part of the solution) 01:05
Xliff Anyone else have Match eqv examples that I can test?
Juerd m: method infix:<having> (@list, $match) { @list.grep: * ~~ $match }; say ^23 having /^2/;
camelia rakudo-moar e57e63: OUTPUT«5===SORRY!5===␤Two terms in a row␤at /tmp/mDjRrhLsCv:1␤------> 3ch) { @list.grep: * ~~ $match }; say ^237⏏5 having /^2/;␤ expecting any of:␤ infix␤ infix stopper␤ postfix␤ statement end␤ sta…»

Juerd Er.
Oh, d'oh 01:06
sub, not method!
m: sub infix:<having> (@list, $match) { @list.grep: * ~~ $match }; say (^23) having /^2/;
camelia rakudo-moar e57e63: OUTPUT«(2 20 21 22)␤»
Juerd m: sub infix:<except> (@list, $exception) { @list.grep: * !~~ $exception }; say (^10) except 5; 01:07
camelia rakudo-moar e57e63: OUTPUT«(0 1 2 3 4 6 7 8 9)␤»
Juerd :P
Xliff is still getting used to the ^.... 01:08
m: say ^5
camelia rakudo-moar e57e63: OUTPUT«^5␤»
Xliff m: say (^5)
camelia rakudo-moar e57e63: OUTPUT«^5␤»
geekosaur the problem with that is that except to me reads like a trait
Juerd m: say flat ^5
camelia rakudo-moar e57e63: OUTPUT«(0 1 2 3 4)␤»
perlawhirl geekosaur: yes, i understand that doing this in the language currently is difficult due to the way methods like grep are implemented. i guess my fantasy is that a guts dev sees my proposal, likes it, and eventually makes it's way into the languange proper :D
geekosaur (is, does, where, except...)
perlawhirl a guy can dream
Xliff Juerd: Well FINE! Be that way! =)
Juerd perlawhirl: Changing a keyword can't be done because it would break compatibility. Aliasing doesn't fix the alledged problem because programmers will still encounter the original name, except if you deprecate the original. But usually things have to be a lot more wrong than this, for them to be deprecated. 01:09
I think that you're just a bit too late to the party for this change. But of course you can try 01:10
perlawhirl well, i'm not suggesting a removal of grep at all! just a friendlier nickname 01:12
Juerd perlawhirl: If it's an alias you need to learn both. 01:12
That makes learning the language harder, not easier.
Xliff So this is my Match infix:<eqv> attempt. Any thoughts? -> pastebin.com/ct76gh5H 01:13
perlawhirl well, the context that this magical .where method is used in virtually identical to the context it's used in subset definition, so not really much more to learn. 01:14
i understand that post 6.c, changes (additions?) like this are unlikely
but truthfully, if it existed, i would use .where over .grep any day, cause it reads nicer 01:15
Juerd There's already a 'where' in the language. 01:15
Don't you think that it would be confusing to have a method with the same name?
m: my Int $foo where * > 5; $foo = 6; $foo = 3;
camelia rakudo-moar bff643: OUTPUT«Type check failed in assignment to $foo; expected <anon> but got Int (3)␤ in block <unit> at /tmp/FnEhiy7Km0 line 1␤␤»
Xliff m: my Int $foo where * > 5; $foo = 6; 01:17
camelia ( no output )
perlawhirl not so much, not if the method serves a very similar purpose
tablets.perl6.org/tablet-1-language...imum-reuse
Xliff m: my Int $foo where * > 5; $foo = 3;
camelia rakudo-moar bff643: OUTPUT«Type check failed in assignment to $foo; expected <anon> but got Int (3)␤ in block <unit> at /tmp/MAyzfpdRpm line 1␤␤»
geekosaur where could be both method and trait_mod, I think
Xliff Oooooo
perlawhirl "Not only is syntax reused to minimize the stuff you have to remember, but concepts are reused also, wherever possible."
the concepts are virtually identical 01:18
Xliff I am not a fan of golf. 01:21
I like readable code.
But even I have to admit the Jelly solution here was awesome. 01:22
codegolf.stackexchange.com/question...-bit-array
perlawhirl i almost feel like all these stack based golfing langs should be exempt from the competition, or they can have their own leaderboard 01:24
Xliff LOL
perlawhirl does anyone use the Stylish browser plugin. i'm using it with the GitHub Dark theme. browsing github is now much easier on the eyes 02:16
timotimo where can i find this thing? (also, i am on chrome) 02:18
geekosaur started using that a couple months ago. helps a lot when I'm being photophobic...
timotimo found it
geekosaur timotimo, Tampermonkey
timotimo github.com/StylishThemes/GitHub-Dark - stylish is linked to from here
perlawhirl yep... try it out, promise you'll love it 02:19
geekosaur oh, and Stylish exists for Chrome
perlawhirl unless you're one of those sick individuals that doesn't like dark themes
geekosaur only problem is github keeps changing things and you can get glitches until the theme is fixed
perlawhirl the colours it uses for syntax highlighted code is nicer too.
perlawhirl yeah. github is nowhere near as bad as cisco.com. i think cisco employs a team of people who's job is to move and change shit every few weeks 02:20
timotimo at least you have no reason to look at cisco.com more than once a month, right? 02:21
perlawhirl not unless you manage hundreds of enterprise networks... like me 02:22
timotimo oof
perlawhirl support is a better word... i don't manage shit :D
such is the wonderful world of managed services
perlawhirl fun fact: when i started this job we had to audit newly transitioned sites for one of our larger customers. new sites would come in every few weeks/months... 02:24
i was trying to automate the config audit with autohotkey... one of the guys i worked with said "why don't you learn perl"
Xliff github.com/dnmfarrell/Perl6-One-Liners <-- fun reading 02:24
perlawhirl i thought to myself "nah, that's a proper language, not smart enough".. but i learned it and loved it and never looked back 02:25
that was about 3 years ago
so i'm a late comer to perl
AlexDaniel Hotkeys_: here? 02:26
Xliff And they said Perl was dead.
AlexDaniel Hotkeys_: I have found an undocumented feature!
m: printf(“%08b\n”, 5)

Xliff installs Stylish 02:27
AlexDaniel Hotkeys_: ah no, it is actually documented 02:28
Xliff reloads open GitHub page.
Xliff 's eyes THANK HIM. 02:29
Hotkeys_ lol AlexDaniel
perlawhirl haha, now look at a readme with a code snippet an feast your eyes on glorious muted orange and purple hues 02:29

about using %b

AlexDaniel Xliff: codegolf.stackexchange.com/question...-bit-array
Xliff Yeah. I ref'd that earlier, so the examples looked.... eeenteresting.
Still ♥ the Jelly solution. 02:35
AlexDaniel we should probably make a new language for golfing 02:35
perlawhirl Xliff: you keep talking about it... you sound... jelly
AlexDaniel where one unicode character represents the whole solution to some specific golf problem
Hotkeys I don't like any golf languages 02:36
so
Xliff We have enough unicode characters for that to work.....for a while.
I don't golf unless it involves hitting rubber balls with long sticks.
And I'm even dangerous at that (balls go backwards)
You don't want me golfing.... of any sort.
>_> 02:37
<_<
Xliff waits for the inevitable response from the gutter....
AlexDaniel and then we be like “look, this problem is solved in 1 character in GOLFLANG!!!”
it will make all other golf languages obsolete
Xliff But keeping track of it alll....oh, the humanity! 02:38
AlexDaniel in fact, we don't even have to do anything… we can just use one of the submitted solutions!
just copy-paste it and there you go! 02:39
Xliff Was it ₤ or ¤.... or ←
Oh, the options are ENDLESS!
Xliff wonders if the person who introduced him to WinCompose realizes the monster he has created.
Hotkeys Wincompose is wonderful 02:40
Hotkeys AlexDaniel: that doesn't work when the languages has to be a version that came before the question was asked 02:40
:p
otherwise it's noncompeting 02:41
Xliff You've got ✉
AlexDaniel Hotkeys: what? There's actually a requirement like that?
Hotkeys yeah the language (version) can't be newer than the question
unless it says otherwise
Xliff ✱_✱
AlexDaniel so we can't solve any of the existing problems with v6.d ?
Hotkeys not in a competing way 02:42
AlexDaniel well, okay
then we will just release a new version yesterday
geekosaur pah. slangs 02:43
Hotkeys meta.codegolf.stackexchange.com/que...tion/10#10
see this
Xliff Damn. There was a webpage that tested installed fonts to see if a unicode character worked by fonts.
Can't remember it now.

AlexDaniel I do have a SO account, but at some point I realized that I didn't write any answer in like 2 years yet my score more than doubled 03:07
and after considering other issues with SO-like systems I decided that I will try not to participate in that… 03:08
Hotkeys alright 03:09
AlexDaniel I *do* downvote shitty answers though, yes! 03:10
and sometimes I upvote good ones too, but that's like 1/20 of my downvotes…

Hotkeys I really need to add the Q|| unicode quotes to my compose file
AlexDaniel ｢｣ these ones?
perlawhirl ｢]
oops｢｣
AlexDaniel Hotkeys: ‘’ are good too
Hotkeys I have those 03:20
and “”
AlexDaniel use 'em!
Xliff skids: Updated with your suggestions.
perlawhirl does anyone else have issues in the repl with unicodey chars?
dunno if it's a prob with Linenoise
Xliff What is linenoise?
Xliff looks. 03:21
perlawhirl if i type something like ｢this｣ hit enter, when i hit up arrow, i get ｢this｣ followed by 2 spaces, when i backspace, it deleted ｣
so it's like there are additional hidden characters
i though maybe it's my term emulator, but the same thing doesn't happen in the python repl (though python doesn't know what ｢this｣ means)
AlexDaniel Hotkeys: I really like how this one ended up. It is more readable now 03:22
perlawhirl Xliff: Linenoise is a lightweight Readline-like lib
Xliff Ah. I already have Readline. Thanks.
perlawhirl yeah... i tried installing it and i got errors, so went with linenoise 03:23
Xliff perlawhirl: How are you doing the angled quotes?
skids Xliff: We'll have to see whether it is best to have the .made in there or not -- e.g. what will people want to use Match eqv Match for... likewise with the WHAT. Those two I'm not sure what people will find useful.
Xliff skids: OK. Thanks for looking! 03:24
perlawhirl Xliff: not WinCompose. I am using AHK, but i always have a script running anyways... i have a bunch of hotstrings and keys i use for work. no point running wincompose as well when my persistent ahk scripts is always running
this is my work laptop, btw... ssh'd into a linux vm
using SecureCRT terminal emu 03:25
Xliff I have AHK script too. Forgot what for.
Mine isn't persistent, though. I think I have a script for killing that stupid rename extension dialog.
perlawhirl i have a bunch of things for work... j@ prints my email address, or name.surname@aw print [email@hidden.address] 03:26
Xliff ｢ <- What is the name of that, though?

Xliff Oriental quotation marks. 03:29
perlawhirl Xliff: i think you mentioned a couple days back issues installing Shell::Command ? 03:32
was that you?
and if so... how did you resolve it
Xliff perlawhirl: I am. I fixed it.
perlawhirl .HOW 03:33
Xliff Used rakudobrew and installed to ~/.rakudobrew
So my entire perl6 install is local to root, but everything works.
perlawhirl oh, i built all my shit to /opt/* (ie, /opt/rakudobrew)
is it statically looking for something in ~/.rakudobrew ? 03:34
Xliff If you need perl6 for multiuser. Install into a regular user and have everyone else source the "rakudobrew init"
perlawhirl but... 777 home permissions... bad 03:34
Xliff perlawhirl: I don't think so. My issue was that the Ubuntu package had a b0rked @INC 03:35
Hotkeys <Xliff> ⌈ceiling and floor⌋
not the same ones
perlawhirl ahh! no i think i know the problem
Xliff HotKeys: Ah well. They look close.
Hotkeys yeah
Xliff perlawhirl: K-tell?
Hotkeys p6 doesn't do em though
Xliff perlawhirl: You wouldn't need 777 home permissions, I don't think. 03:36
You'd only need that for package installation and that would be done by root, anyways.
s/would/should/
perlawhirl oh, ok, so i only need to do this to build packages?? i will punch some keys and see what happens 03:37
Xliff skids: Weird. WinCompose != Proper unicode naming,. 03:38
Either that or ⌈HALFWIDTH LEFT CORNER BRACKET⌋ isn't included, yet. 03:39
Xliff Oh wait. There are two versions. 03:40
skids en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IDN_homograph_attack <-- one of the scarier aspects of unicode :-)
Xliff Oh wow! You're right. 03:41
skids That might make a nice Perl 6 module -- punycode activated by a safety policy. 03:45
timotimo we do have a punycode module already, at least 03:47
timotimo xn--rl6-qdd8c.org/ - aka Реrl6.org 03:52
skids It really perterbs me that fonts that mix up 1 and l or 0 and O still end up as defaults many places. 03:55
timotimo yeah :| 03:56
skids You'd think that would have made some UX checklist top 100 by now.
Xliff skids: People never learn. 04:05
perlawhirl I'm back! Readline fixed the unicode weirdness 04:06
Xliff perlawhirl++
perlawhirl so year, fyi, repl using Linenoise doesn't like unicode
Xliff: fwiw my probs installing it were because root user wouldn't switch to the same version of perl6 as my user
ie, it was on 2016-01, instead of nom 04:07
timotimo oh, yeah, linenoise is a bit shitty about unicode ;(
perlawhirl it wouldn't obey global or switch directives... but local seemed to work
timotimo as long as you don't backspace over chars, you'll be fine ...
perlawhirl haha
that was the EXACT problem i was having
thanks for telling me timotimo... after i switched to readline :D
Xliff heh 04:08
(timo x 2)++
That made me laugh.
perlawhirl so are we expecting a 2016-03 cut sometime in the next week? 04:10
perlawhirl i can't remember what i was trying to do with it now, but it would be nice if succ took an integer so i could increment string literals by arbitrary amounts, ie 'a'.succ(25) # output: 'z' 04:14
though i can't remember why i wanted to do it, so it's probably not that useful 04:16
Xliff m: say ('a'.ord + 25).chr 04:18
camelia rakudo-moar 6732d2: OUTPUT«z␤»
perlawhirl slaps forehead 04:19
that's how i'd do it in perl5... but my perl6 brain reached straight for .succ for some reason
jdv79 what's the best material to get into the newer async stuff? 04:20
are there docs that cover it well yet or just hit roast?
skids I did some work on the design docs, but not await(). 04:21
Xliff Is there a way to extend methods on built-in classes?
*sigh* mouth before brain.
Is there a way to add modules to built-in classes? 04:22
ARGH!
Is there a way to add methods to built-in classes?
timotimo yeah, with "augment"
skids jdv79: gist.github.com/jnthn/a56fd4a22e7c43080078 except for some bits and S17 itself.
jdv79 augment/monkey-typig
Xliff Whoop!
Xliff goes to read.
timotimo but currently you'll have to call .^compose on every class that's derived from the class you're augmenting
because we don't properly propagate the info there yet 04:23
skids At some point I'll have to try to work a full "subclass of Int" out so math works with Int. 04:24
jdv79 skids: yeah. i remember that. was looking for a comprehensive view.
Xliff Er.
Why "MONKEY-TYPING"?
Wait. Is that an evolution joke? 04:25
jdv79 why the flag or why the name?
Xliff The name.
skids doc.perl6.org/language/concurrency looks to have been freshened up at least to the point of Supplier. 04:26
timotimo Xliff: because it's usually called "monkeypatching" 04:27
perlawhirl i think it's a play on 'monkey patching'.. and also the joke about monkeys typing for 1000 years would not be able to write shakespeare
Xliff timotimo, Still confused. But this should not surprise you.
timotimo heh.
dangerous things are supposed to stand out 04:28
skids Xliff: because it's throwing a monkey wrench into the system, ruins optimizations/etc.
Xliff perlawhirl, that's the direction I was heading... yes.
geekosaur so all the MONKEY* names mean doing Bad Things
timotimo that's why we have MONKEY-TYPING-OH-MY-GOD-WATCH-OUT as well as EVAL
also MONKEY-GUTS
Xliff MONKEY-SUCKS?
MONKEY-STOOPID?
perlawhirl Xliff: if you want to use EVAL you have to 'use MONKEY-SEE-NO-EVAL'
Xliff (I like that last one)
skids STOOPID-MONKEY was trademarked :-) 04:29
Xliff LOL
perlawhirl the monkey things are a playful way to remind you you're doing something potentially dangerous
geekosaur monkeying around with innards
timotimo it took me a few months to get that "SEE NO EVAL" was a play on "SEE NO EVIL"
Xliff skids: And I can guess by what. Great show, though. They are playing close to the Things That Cannot Be Done on TV
jdv79 dangerous may not be entirely accurate. unwise/abnormal/suboptimal maybe.
Xliff s/Cannot/Should Not/ 04:30
timotimo well, right
that's also why our phasers are upper-cased
Xliff timotimo, Is that a euphemism for "set to kill"?
timotimo a bit, yeah
geekosaur right. augment isn't strictly speaking dangerous, but it kills optimization and has the potential to confuse other modules
Xliff =)
timotimo the piece of code after a phaser is called a "blast"
because it's either a "BL"ock or "A STatement"
Xliff =P 04:31
skids Xliff: I have to remind myself to put on my desensitizer so I can enjoy that show :-)
timotimo we also have "blorst", which is "BLock OR STatement"
jdv79 its not blorst anymore?
Xliff Well, at least you were consistent there.
timotimo both
Xliff skids: I'm shocked it's still on the air.
jdv79 oh, you said that already. i wasn't looking close enough. 04:32
Xliff "It is also possible to extend classes via the augment declarator, but that is considered somewhat antisocial and should not be used for forward declarations." 04:37
HUH?
perlawhirl there's a '.^add_method' i played with once, but jnthn advised i should not use it in normal code. he also advised "If you stick that code in a module, that module will not be able to support precompilation." 04:47
Xliff My first gist -- Y'all have seen it already. 04:51
gist.github.com/Xliff/2907106c84e9eb14d4c0
Feel free to comment, though! :) 04:52
Xliff :( 04:52
Oh well. There Is More Than One Way To Do It.
Although I am all for syntactical sugar.
skids Xliff: you may want to repost that during the day when more core devs are awake for more feedback. I could see it making a passable PR. 05:01
Actually, though, ditch the "return"

sortiz Don't like much the idea that perl6's DBIish depends of an "external" module. Should move NH::Blob to perl6? 10:09
moritz what's NH::Blob?
sortiz NativeHelpers::Blob
moritz *shrug* we can have a dependency, just need to remember to add it to R* 10:10
if it becomes widely used, we might want to fold it into NativeCall 10:11
jnthn DBIish depending on other modules feels reasonable enough to me
You're never going to get something with "Helpers" in its name into core. :P
It's one of those "I didn't know where to put this code" names :)
Some of the functionality it has, otoh... :) 10:12
sortiz I expect that all of its functionality will be in NC some day. :-) 10:14
pmurias is there a way to measure what my NQP program (nqp-js) is using memory for? 10:15
jnthn pmurias: If it's running on Moar, then there's a heap snapshot thing and a very early analysis tool (existing as of yesterday) 10:19
pmurias jnthn: it's running on Moar. I should just look at the recent commits? 10:20
timotimo all you need is --profile=heap and jnthn/p6-app-moarvm-heapanalyzer off of github 10:21
jnthn pmurias: Yeah, HEAD of Moar, HEAD of Rakudo, and use-setdebugtypename branch of NQP
And then what timo said
It's very early work, don't expect polish :)
pmurias jnthn: if "git diff" doesn't help figure out why nqp-js started eating all memory while compiling itself I'll try this tool 10:28
sortiz moritz, jnthn, NH::Blob is mainly for workaround current deficiencies of CStruct vs Pointer and Blob/Buf 10:36
sortiz Btw, DBDish::mysql now uses Buf.allocate, not available in pre 2016-03, should emulate to stay compatible? 10:42
moritz sortiz: that would be nice, yes 10:43
jnthn Yeah
timotimo it's not necessarily easy enough for people to just grab the version out of rakudo star if they have a not-up-to-date rakudo
jnthn We should travis modules against a Rakudo release that first supported the Perl 6 version they express a dependency on, really 10:44

t\04-nativecall\19-function-pointers.c 11:08
Unhandled exception: Bytecode stream corrupt (missing magic string)
jnthn o.O 11:09
No
fireartist hmm, I get that same error message when I manually run any test file with moar.exe - so that's maybe not what the test suite is failing on 11:10
fireartist I tried running > c:\rakudo\bin\moar.exe t\04-nativecall\19-function-pointers.c # should that "work"? 11:11
timotimo no, definitely not
you don't run moar.exe on a regular file
and those .c files aren't meant to be run via the test harness
they are meant to be compiled and then used by the corresponding .t file, which is perl6 source code in that case 11:12
fireartist the .c is my bad - darned cmd.exe's tab-complete
timotimo in that case, it's still wrong, because moar.exe expects a .moarvm file as argument :) 11:13
fireartist can I run `perl6.bat testfile.t` ?
timotimo should be possible, yeah
you'll probably have to "make install" before that
fireartist ok, I just did `gmake install`, then `perl6 t\04-nativecall\19-function-pointers.c`, and got the following error... 11:16

but running that .t (!) file with the newly built & installed perl6.exe passes all tests ok
timotimo how about "gmake t\04-nativecall\19-function-pointers.t"? 11:20
does that also fail?
fireartist running `gmake test` now passes all tests - I'll try deleting c:\rakudo and starting from scratch, to see if I can get the error again 11:22

RabidGravy anyway off out to the farm shop to get vegetables 11:47
fireartist yummy - have fun!
perlawhirl what are these ｢vegetables｣ you speak of?!
fireartist: have you looked at Cmder. it's a nicer console made up from several other projects (namely conemu, clink, plus msysgit and bits from mingw) 11:50
perlawhirl the console alone is pretty worth it. i've tried conemu and clink before and didn't love them, but this is all nicely packaged and makes using the console on windows way less annoying 11:51
plus you can keymap a quake-style dropdown animation, if that kinda thing floats your boat 11:52
fireartist perlawhirl: thanks, I'll look at it - I normally use 'git bash' when I need a command line, but its perl is too old to build rakudo - however something better would be good
perlawhirl yeeeah, i think this only comes with 5.8 too, which is a shame. but yes, it comes with bash shell and git. the older version used to defautl to bash, but now i think it defaults to powershell 11:53
still can open a 'cmd' tab and use bash 11:54
yeah just checked, perl 5.8.8... as i think that's what is bundled with msysgit 11:55
fireartist am downloading now - just the kind of distraction I needed for lunch ;-)

mojca in /usr/bin, but perl5.22 is listed as dependency of panda 13:22
when is "prove" called?
geekosaur it's how perl5 and perl6 modules are tested 13:23
it's the program that runs the *.t files
so it sounds like the test wants the prove from perl5.22 but is finding the one in /usr/bin from apple's perl5.10 instead of the one in /opt/local/bin from perl5.22 13:24
depending on a version does not change $PATH or change what /usr/bin points to
er what files in /usr/bin point to 13:25
teatime DrForr: still here? 13:25
mojca what could change the path? 13:26
I see some code running prove in lib/Panda/Tester.pm 13:28
but it's not exactly clear to me how it works 13:29
teatime Also, there's a grammars/regexes question embedded in this: paste.debian.net/418535/ 13:29
abraxxa sortiz: comments about what? 13:34
mojca geekosaur: thanks for the initial pointers, I'll wait until the package gets build on my old 10.6 VM and then try to look into it 13:36
geekosaur mojca, are you doing this from a Portfile or the shell?
mojca on the buildbot it's being run from Portfile
I didn't run it from shell yet
but I could if it makes any difference 13:37
geekosaur my point there is that the port command controls $PATH
it is NOT the path from your dotfiles
and Portfiles expect that if you want to run a specific version of a command (here, "prove") then you will arrange for that specific version to be run, not trust $PATH 13:38
Xliff Hi. I've boiled down my Match infix:<eqv> to the following. gist.github.com/Xliff/2907106c84e9eb14d4c0 13:39
geekosaur in particular you should not have it run "prove" as it does now, nor even "/opt/local/bin/prove", but "/opt/local/bin/prove-5.22" 13:40
this may require patching lib/Panda/Tester.pm

gflohr can I find out inside a method whether it was invoked on a type object or an instance? 16:09
MadcapJake for some reason, on github this rule: github.com/MadcapJake/language-per...1601-L1620 is being skipped where in Atom it works just fine.
gflohr self.WHAT === self 16:13
is that the correct way?
hoelzro gflohr: self.defined should do the trick
although a type *could* override the defined method, but that's a jerk move 16:14
you could use a multi as well: multi my-method(Class:D:) { #`(on an instance) }
gflohr hoelzro: thanks! and what about my approach?
jnthn gflohr: It works, but it's not very idiomatic 16:15
gflohr: Also there are with/without blocks
with self { ...in here it's the instance... } else { ...in here it's not... } 16:16
And without to negate it
Xliff takes note.
jnthn without self { ... } is quite a lot shorter than if self === self.WHAT { }
gflohr jnthn: okay, I'll try that 16:17
RabidGravy and of course if this is a method then it's probably neater to provide a multi with :U: and :D: invocants

jnthn teatime: Do you have || rather than | for a reason?
teatime: If | would work then you could consider protoregexes
Which are like an alternation with a single short name
teatime jnthn: in some cases, because I want to make sure it takes the first if it matches (DEFINE_OBJECT, then try DEFINE_SIMPLE); in others, because only one branch can possibly match, and I figured it'd be faster than | 16:25
jnthn: although, | should work for the DEFINE case... since OBJECT is longer than SIMPLE.
jnthn: you're saying, so that it can be subclassed, right?
jnthn But the other thing you can do is [ <directive=.COMMENT> || <directive=.IFDEF> || <directive=.DEFINE> ]* in TOP 16:26
Then just $<directive> in the actions
teatime ahh, nice.
jnthn Here's an example of the proto approach: github.com/jnthn/p6-docker-file/bl...e.pm6#L257 16:27
teatime also, just out of curiosity... I plan to eventually use this on a long file with parsefile() 16:28
so I hope that will perform OK.
in this case I could easily read lines and feed lines to parse(), if necessary
jnthn Depends how long is long :)
teatime but I was curious how one would handle "\␤" if using parsefile()... if you were reading lines to feed to parse(), you'd check after each line read if the last char was a \, and if so, read another line and append 16:30
but to deal w/ it in the grammar, I can't figure it out
jnthn: (long == 2500 lines in this case, but I was hoping parsefile() had more smarts than just "slurp file, call parse" to make it a viable way to parse large files.) 16:31
jnthn It's no smarter than that at present
teatime ah, alas.
jnthn otoh, we use a Perl 6 grammar to parse Perl 6 itself, and the CORE.setting (built-ins) come to a 37,000 line file :) 16:32
So I think 2500 should be OK :) 16:33

teatime will <?after "\n"> work if the preceeding newline has already been consumed by a previous submatch?
Xliff masak: pastebin.com/q27qWY82
Your lawyers will have to throw down with mine. I will make popcorn and we will watch. (⌐■_■) 16:52
TimToady teatime: yes, we usually avoid 'after' for that very reason, because it defeats any escaping mechanism you might have 16:53
'before' does not suffer this problem 16:54
teatime hrm, I don't completely understand.
oh, wait, maybe I do 16:55
teatime <after "\n"> would match even the preceeding was \␤ 16:55
TimToady right 16:56
teatime k, thanks.
TimToady and it does you no good to check add a check for \ to the 'after', because what if they said \\ before that, or \\\, or \\\\ 16:57
teatime TimToady: any thoughts on how one would implement C-like "\␤" to a grammar, assuming one wanted to parsefile() and not read lines manually?
TimToady basically, switching from left-to-right parsing to right-to-left parsing doesn't work out
teatime assuming most things can break across lines as if \n were any other whitespace, but where some things (preprocessor directives) are required to start on a new line. 16:58
TimToady newline is just like any other character, you just skip a . after
you can always limit the rules that recognize line beginning things with ^^ 16:59
or however you say that in English
there's plenty of prior art for all this in the Perl 6 grammar
teatime oh, I didn't realize that was re-definable
kk, thanks again. 17:00
TimToady so, for instance, token my-directive { ^^ '#stuff' } will only match #stuff at the beginning of a line 17:01
pod directives work this way in the p6 grammar 17:02
teatime oh, that's exactly what I wanted when i was asking about <after "\n">
TimToady in that case, just make sure you don't call <my-directive> where you don't want to match it because it's a line continuation 17:04
(if you want the line escape to take precedence) 17:05
((maybe you don't))
anyway, newlines are only a little bit special, mostly you can just treat them as a particular kind of whitespace 17:06
if you need to not match a newline, \N is useful, so \N* gets you the rest of the current line, for instance
but . doesn't care (unlike in many other regex languages, including p5's) 17:07
TimToady the modal flags /m and /s in p5 were replaced by explicitly different matchers in p6 17:08
so we distiguish ^ from ^^ and $ from $$, as well as \n vs \N vs . 17:09
Xliff So no need for the p5 /o modifier, now? 17:10

hoelzro *nod*
RabidGravy I'm a bit disappointed that fedora is stuck on 2015-11

AlexDaniel nine: having v6.d in debian stable is a good idea, yes 20:21

MadcapJake I wonder if it makes sense to use xdg-app to install rakudo. 20:22
AlexDaniel nine: rushing – not so much. But as far as I can see 2016 is a year of speeding things up, so there's not so much to rush, I guess. At least right now it looks good
perlpilot Why the fuss about 6.d? Does anyone even know what that means?
nine 6.d will be the point where we will have 2 language versions for the first time ever. We don't even have the infrastructure for that in place yet and no one is working on that.
RabidGravy and there's a lot of stuff to be written before then 20:23
AlexDaniel nine: You're right. Having 6.c in debian stable will get us lots of testers who will be using v6.c, so that we can get the infrastructure right for v6.e… 20:25
jnthn There'll be 6.c.1, etc. so folks can depend on the numerous fixes/improvements in their META.info. If we were to do a 6.c.1 based on current roast then it'd not need any infrastructure. :) 20:26

AlexDaniel there we go
Xliff .U 2309 20:55
yoleaux U+2309 RIGHT CEILING [Pe] (⌉)
Xliff The problem with Debian based installations is either: 21:01
1) the module include path is wrong in the perl6 bin 21:02
2) The package maintainer has installed modules going into the wrong directory.
That was my introduction to perl6. Fortunately there was rakudobrew and #perl6.
pmurias jnthn: not sure why it happens, seems to be a problem only when using a lot of largish strings 21:03
teatime Xliff: it seems likely that every distro's packages will be too old to be useful, anyway 21:04
and rakudobrew was painless
MadcapJake AlexDaniel: I got an email back from the webmaster (wrt to issue submitter email), guess what he suggested? 21:05
AlexDaniel MadcapJake: to use github? :) 21:06
Xliff Is this the way to get rakudobrew to build from the latest commits to head: "rakudobrew build moar head"
MadcapJake Bingo!
AlexDaniel
.oO( again, why are we stuck with RT? Hmm… )
 21:07
MadcapJake He also asked why I need an email address, maybe I don't understand this well enough, if I want to send emails, I either need to setup my own SMTP server or use someone else's which means I'll need an email account there, right? 21:08
MadcapJake My plan was, using the SMTP Perl 6 module, access the perl.org SMTP server, and send emails as [email@hidden.address] and cc the user's email if they added theirs in the email field. Is that reasonable or am I missing something here? 21:09
MadcapJake anyone have some thoughts on this? 21:12
.seen ZoffixW 21:13
yoleaux I saw ZoffixW 22 Mar 2016 13:49Z in #perl6: <ZoffixW> .tell lizmat if you're looking for content for the next Weekly, you could post the MeetUp for March 30th Toronto Perl Mongers. I'll be giving a "Wow, Perl 6!" talk that will go over the cool bits of Perl 6: www.meetup.com/Toronto-Perl-Mongers...228600742/
Xliff Is anyone else disturbed that "build moar head" is syntax for rakudobrew? 21:18
masak ...no? 21:19
we do need to build more heads. we're running short on heads.
masak .oO( it's an arms race )
Xliff MadcapJake: If you don't plan on receiving mail sent to that address, then no. You should not need an account. You will need a properly configured mail server to allow whatever machine you are sending from to relay. 21:20
MadcapJake Xliff: but I want to allow the user to submit anonymously.
Xliff masak: Not the "head" that I was thinking of... but I'll allow it.
Xliff attempts to extract mind from gutter...
perlpilot Xliff: the gutter is fine sometimes as long as you don't get stuck there :) 21:21
Xliff MadcapJake: By far the easiest thing to do is to have an account on the SMTP server itself.
perlpilot, then I'm totally fucked.
MadcapJake Xliff: can I avoid having a properly configured email server and just use perl.org's :) that's my goal, is it possible?
Xliff 8-)
MadcapJake, If you plan on relaying through perl.org, then you will need the admin of perl.org to set that up for you. 21:22
MadcapJake Xliff: there's already an SMTP module for perl 6 so I was just going to use that to login to perl.org's email server and send an email via [email@hidden.address]
Xliff: ok that's what I thought, I'm in the midst of replying to the admin right now.
Xliff You just can't point an SMTP client at a server and send mail willy nilly.
perlpilot
.oO( not anymore ... )
 21:23
Xliff Used to be nobody cared. Then the spammers came along and all of the open relays died.
kmwallio can anyone think of a reason why a Perl 6 test wouldn't exit cleanly when ran remotely?
not a brain teaser...
I'm trying to call xclip using shell and q:x, and it runs fine locally 21:24
Xliff Was that issue fixed with "rakudobrew look" hanging any subsequent call to the perl6 shell until the rakudobrew session was terminated?
MadcapJake Xliff: ok that's what I thought, so I'll need to get some login details, I'm a little irked that the reply so far seems like "I don't really want to deal with this right now" but hopefully I'll get a better reply after my response.
masak m: say Regex ~~ Method
camelia rakudo-moar 8df1a6: OUTPUT«True␤»
Xliff Who is running perl.org, these days? 21:25
MadcapJake Xliff: someone at the other end of [email@hidden.address] is named Robert :P
perlpilot "rakudobrew look"? ITYM "panda look" as I don't think rakudobrew has a "look" command
Xliff Develooper LLC?? 21:26
perlpilot, Whoops! You are correct sir. It was "panda look".
If I do a "panda look" and in another shell try and execute "perl6" in shell mode, the perl6 process would hang until the panda session had finished. 21:27
kmwallio that might be part of it, but it looks like travis is running prove -v -r --exec=perl6 t/ 21:30
I did have a panda installdeps . earlier
RabidGravy ooh, the fedora package of icecast doesn't create the /var/run/icecast so it doesn't create a pid file 21:52
timotimo so it uses systemd? 21:53
RabidGravy well it's managed by systemctl 21:59
moritz and systemctl is a part of systemd 22:02
RabidGravy yes 22:04
teatime Can you say (in grammar) proto token Escape { ｢｣ 22:05
whoops, hole on a sec
RabidGravy anyway, create the directory "systemctl restart icecast" and lo! the .pid file appears and I can tell monit about it 22:06
teatime Can you say (in grammar) proto token Escape { ｢\｣ * }; token Escape:sym<"> { <sym> }; -- and then in actions, do something like this: -- method Escape:sym ($/) { make $<sym> } 22:08
hakonhagland /msg NickServ VERIFY REGISTER hakonhagland ibduavjxxfey 22:25
TEttinger ibduavjxxfey is an interesting choice. 22:26
hakonhagland Seems like I added a space in front of \msg
teatime heh 22:28
masak watches Ovid's www.youtube.com/watch?v=hR9UdvxMAbo and thinks "wow, this Perl 6 thing is *great*" 23:03
masak 'night, #perl6 23:26
