Set by moritz on 22 December 2015.
Zoffix hm, for some reason it stopped working. I run `resume` and it doesn't break at the breakpoint 00:00
00:00 mcmillhj joined
Zoffix 1) start the script; 2) start moar-remote; 3) type `assume thread 1`; 4) type `breakpoint "src/Perl6/World.nqp" 4240 1 1`; 5) type resume 00:01
Ah, it was a blank line in the code; I guess it gets eliminated 00:02
timotimo yeah, there's a missing feature
since we lazily deserialize frames and such, we don't immediately know what lines are even there to begin with 00:03
so currently we just accept anything the user throws at us
Zoffix still says lexicals 0; gonna try with --optimize=off... That's for rakudo, not MoarVM, right?
timotimo what we'll want to have is a way to figure out if setting a breakpoint on a given line that's a "hole" would want the previous or the next line, because it could be right on a routine boundary for example
that's for rakudo, yes
that should disable lexical-to-local lowering 00:04
in the future we'll be able to inspect locals, too, but that's a bit tricky
since at the time we're past the compiler, the names will have gone, and we'll have one register potentially storing the values for different local variables at different points in the bytecode
that'll be a bit of design work
anyway, yeah :) 00:05
00:05 mcmillhj left 00:07 vcv joined
timotimo oh, be warned: stepping is currently ... underimplemented 00:10
only "step into" actually does anything, and backtraces have super weird line numbers more than half the time
thankfully, "step into" is also what it does when you just "step" 00:11
00:13 skids joined
Zoffix Well, it still says no lexicals. And all lexicals says "Frame 0" is can_has_coercers, which is the method I got my variable's at: gist.github.com/zoffixznet/ed56853...-p6-p6-L23 00:13
But I don't see it anywhere in all lexicals: gist.github.com/zoffixznet/2bf444e...73c2498960
00:14 mcmillhj joined
timotimo hm, perhaps the $/ in number 213 is good enough? 00:14
since it'd mostly have parts of itself passed down to other action methods? 00:15
i do agree this sucks, though
i was close to implementing getting the arguments to any frame, but man our argument passing code is weird and i am too flu'd up to do well at this
Zoffix Ah right
I'm sick now too. I think I caught it from you!! 00:16
:)
timotimo nnnoooooooooo
was it because you forked my code? :<
isn't this how bacteria spreads? by forking themselves?
skids
.oO(why I so rarely go to cons)
 00:17
timotimo not actually sure whether i have a flu or a cold or whatever
i.e. bacterial or viral. none of this matters right now!
Zoffix timotimo: "once you have an object you're interested in". How do I get it? What's between `all lexicals` and `metadata` commands? 00:18
00:19 mcmillhj left
Zoffix Ah, the handle 00:19
00:19 comborico1611 left, markong left
Zoffix hahaha "p6opaque_ass_delegate" 00:19
and "p6opaque_body_replaced" 00:20
Do I want the ass or the body? ^_^
skids I hereby delegate my ass to...
Zoffix Well, metadata gave me stuff, but I don't know what's next: gist.github.com/zoffixznet/99bf8de...f54dd0ed37 00:21
timotimo you'll want "attributes 425" 00:22
the words that show up in the features field are also commands you can use on handles
Zoffix timotimo: what's next? gist.github.com/zoffixznet/9a028cb...9efef80d2a 00:23
timotimo looks like you want 430 and 431, the first one will let you "positionals", the second one will let you "associatives" 00:24
Zoffix Or is that it? It's an empty array which is why it was giving me null before? But then I don't get how that .dump turned up :/
Oh, wait we're dumping $/, not $target-el 00:25
timotimo here's where i'd love to tell you you can "reverse-cont", but time-travelling debugging is really not easy
Zoffix wait, it's working!! :D 00:26
timotimo YES! /o\
00:28 mcmillhj joined
timotimo if you do stuff with the debugger in the future, please be aware that having a handle on something will cause that object to be kept alive until the handle is released 00:28
releasing lots of handles is of course currently totally awkward :P
unless you "release all keep 1 2 3 4" (which only refers to the last command that gave you handles) 00:29
Zoffix Ohhhhhh. Now I freaking get it 00:31
It's a <colonpair> with an empty key,
timotimo this is potentially the first bug that really got nailed with the debug remote
Zoffix :D 00:32
timotimo i might already be asleep when celebration commences
00:33 mcmillhj left
Zoffix recompiles to see if the debugger was right :) 00:33
00:33 dugdig joined
timotimo the big strength of the debug remote will be that it'll reduce re-compile cycles to hopefully about 10% or something :D 00:36
Zoffix uhh, nope. I think I added a `[0]` that shouldn't be there 00:38
Zoffix re-tries
Herby_ timotimo: that's awesome :) 00:40
Zoffix oh, I may have misread the debugger... Re-reading the session and I don't see where I got the empty key from :P
timotimo oh no :< 00:41

Herby_ jmerelo: the "profile locally" section on this page docs.perl6.org/language/performance 05:20
I was thinking that a "the most basic example of how to profile" might be useful for beginners that stumble upon it 05:21
i initially saw all that sql stuff and my eyes glazed over
but its likely not a problem for non-novices
jmerelo Herby_: can you please write an issue for that? We'll try to fix it.
Herby_: well, nowadays with NoSQL and everything not everyone knows sql... 05:22
Herby_: This line "To learn how to interpret the profile info, use the prof-m: your code goes here evalbot (explained above) and ask questions on the channel." is kinda "Leave interpretation to the adults, don't even try..." 05:23
Herby_: so please create an issue in perl6/doc
github.com/perl6/doc/issues
Herby_ jmerelo: will do. I'm still a bit new to contributing to open source but tomorrow I will see if I can create a simple example of how to profile locally, and I will submit an issue for that blurb you mentioned 05:24

little too simplistic, though

gfldex woolfy: please note that TIOBE mostly measures ignorance
El_Che although Perl is loosing mind share

El_Che it doesn't
AlexDaniel Delphi is 11th, Go is 19th
woolfy The comments are very interesting... Choroba: "The site adds a “Related Jobs” frame that lists over 2400 open Perl jobs. There’s another possibility for developers and pros who still rely on Perl: stop reading Tiobe. Or maybe just come back for fun in 2028 to see what they predicted in 2018."
tadzik it's a measurement, but not exactly of language popularity
AlexDaniel “Perl” went from 10th to 16th, so still ahead of Go
woolfy Christian Walde: "TIOBE’s results are entirely bogus, because their method for ranking data is completely bunk. Anyone trying to draw any conclusions from their “work” might as well be reading tea leaves. Please stop reporting on TIOBE, or heck, maybe even write an article that investigates why it’s broken. Journalism and all that. I’d be happy to help."
tadzik rather "which language people google for the most when they struggle with it" 11:38
AlexDaniel do people struggle often with Delphi nowadays?
rly?
tadzik if your language has excellent documentation that everyone knows where to look for... ;)
AlexDaniel maybe I don't know something…
El_Che Go dropped also slightly, why it's seems more popular than before (looking at big name projects)
woolfy Struggle? With Perl 6? Nobody. It's the easiest!
El_Che woolfy: I woudn't call Perl 6 easy 11:39
woolfy (I mean, #perl6 and other Perl 6 irc channels (and other resources) are extremely helpful)

timotimo mr_ron: how does it backtrack ni the second one?
mithaldu_ jmerelo: which presentation was this? 11:46
mr_ron In the second param-x it does not backtrack, in param-y it backtracks after \w+

jkramer Is CPAN broken? :( search.cpan.org/search?query=gitlik...ode=module 11:46
timotimo what you're seeing there isn't backtracking
ilmari jkramer: search.cpan.org != cpan 11:47
jkramer: use metacpan.org 11:48
mr_ron I understand that moritz said param-y does not count as backtracking. Fine. Why can't it do the same for param-x though?
param-x first case ...
timotimo i may not be looking correctly
jkramer ilmari: Ah didn't know that, thanks
timotimo how does it "not do the same" there? 11:49
mr_ron In the case of the first param-x the first alternative partially matches but it can't back up to match the second alternative. 11:50
timotimo oh, i was only looking at the last two lines
i thought you had corrected the first line to get the second one 11:51
OK, not really sure what's up there 11:52
mr_ron No - its not a correction the first param-x has to back up to match the later alternative, the second param-x does not need to back up.
timotimo: thanks for looking. If nobody has a good explanation maybe I put in an RT / rakudo issue. 11:53
timotimo gotta go afk now, too 11:54

True
moritz mr_ron: here the first alternative matches, so the second isn't tried 13:53
mr_ron: but when the $ tries to match, the || would need to backtrack to try the second alternative
mr_ron: but the token explicitly disables this backtracking
that's why the regex as a whole doesn't match 13:54
mr_ron m: my token param-y { ^ [ [ \w+ {say 'matched first word'} '=' \w+ ] || <[ab]>+ ] $ }; say so 'a' ~~ /<param-y>/; # why different backtracking ?

trying both branches of an alternative is *not* backtracking
