colomon argh. I sometimes think the #1 problem I have with p6 is “Malformed UTF-8” 00:19
00:20 Tison joined
colomon ooooo. utf8-c8? 00:21
chansen_ LOL, blaming bad data on a programming language? 00:22
00:23 HaraldJoerg left
colomon chansen_: blaming the language for making it tricky to deal with bad data that I nevertheless need to process 00:24
timotimo utf8-c8 is exactly the tool for that, i think
colomon yeah, just tried it and it seemed to work pretty well.
timotimo just don't print it out by encoding it back to utf8 without -c8, that looks funny
00:25 markong left
colomon I don’t think I’m likely to ever use bits (at least for this task) which require actually looking at the non-utf8 data. 00:25
it’s just that those lines need to be read from the file without killing the import. 00:26
timotimo in that case, why not use latin1 as the encoding? :)
colomon …. that might work 00:29
timotimo latin1 is basically "i want this to behave like a Buf8, but i want to use string functions on it"
colomon that’s exactly what I need
timotimo++
timotimo utf8-c8 is similar, but it lets you not accidentally chop graphemes in half
colomon I mean, this is hypothetically ASCII, it’s just real world people don’t always sanitize their strings correctly ASCII 00:30
timotimo heh.
colomon and I can’t even really complain about that, because various of my own software had that same issue for probably at least 15 years. 00:31
timotimo :) 00:33
just don't get a Yutf8K bug in your program
00:33 cog_ joined
chansen_ Should I laugh or cry? 00:33
00:42 mack[m] left 00:46 Rawriful left
colomon do we have an unpack equivalent yet? 00:48
timotimo the experimental one, a module in the ecosystem, and nativecast
colomon (actually, I guess comb(/.8/) might work for my purposes?)
timotimo what is that supposed to do? 00:49
colomon the file format I’m working with is an old punched card style 80 character line
with (more or less) 10 8-char fields
timotimo in that case you will want comb(8)
colomon just 8? 00:50
timotimo because comb(/.8/) will give you all characters that are followed by an 8
including the 8
m: say "123456789012345678901234567890".comb(8)
camelia (12345678 90123456 78901234 567890)
timotimo m: say "123456789012345678901234567890".comb(/.8/)
camelia (78 78 78)
00:50 zachk left
colomon needs to brush up on his quantifiers 00:51
timotimo that's a feature of comb itself, not regex per se :)
colomon the comb(8) thing, yes
I was looking for something like… comb(/.{8}/) ?
the lazy way of writing comb(/…...../) 00:52
timotimo not quite ;)
m: say "123456789012345678901234567890".comb(/. ** 1..8/)
camelia (12345678 90123456 78901234 567890)
colomon that’s barely even lazy!
timotimo alternatively if you're certain the fields all are 8 long and there isn't one with only 7 or so
m: say "123456789012345678901234567890".comb(/. ** 8/)
camelia (12345678 90123456 78901234)
colomon comb(8) is faster anyway, yes? 00:54
timotimo oh yes 00:55
probably at least 100x

mryan_ s/done/don’t/ 09:55
jmerelo Let me see if I can address some of that.
mryan_: first, I don't think you need to define a whole grammar; it's probably OK if you just define a regex, token or rule. You can do that independently of grammars, as you probably know. 09:57
mryan_: In any case, it's better of you show us the examples. Also great if you post it in StackOverflow :-) 09:58
mryan_: also good: you can post whatever you've done as a pull request, and lest the rest interact with it. Maybe what you've done is good enough, documentation wise. We won't know until we see it :-) 09:59
mryan_ You and stack overflow…. :-) :-) 10:01
There’s a bit of a description of what the syntax does here: design.perl6.org/S05.html#Extensibl...%3C...%3E) 10:03
It’s definately a method call which implies a grammar for the method to live in (as far as I (don’t) understand it) 10:04

I fixed this section for several reasons:
1) The previous example could install the dynamic library but the DBIish example also requires MySQL server. 2) The MySQL APT Repository officially supports debian stretch (also it supports jessie and wheezy). 3) Even if an user use an older distribution, he/she can install the current version of MySQL easily.

Juerd lizmat: Why are those p5 functions all in separate modules instead of one slightly bigger p5func? 16:59
lizmat there is also a P5builtins 17:00
that gives you all
Juerd Still curious though :) 17:01
lizmat why ?
Juerd It seems like a lot of work, both for you and for the user. I'm sure there's a good reason for it but I couldn't think of one myself.
lizmat some people might just want to use localtime() in their Perl 6 code
El_Che maoschists 17:02
:)
s
Juerd Sure, but usually in Perl 6 everything is available even if you want to use only one function, so it seems to deviate from that :)
lizmat well, then `use P5builtins :all`
Juerd But my question is answered; thanks :)

camelia [[1, 2, 3], ["4 5", 6, 7]]
timotimo jmerelo: it's not about undefined return values, it's about exceptions being thrown
jmerelo timotimo: sorry, you lost me here 17:10
17:10 lizmat left
timotimo if the mapping function throws an exception, it'll descend into the argument if it's Iterable:D, otherwise it returns the original argument. if the mapping function returns a value, that value is used 17:10
Juerd m: say (Any, Str, Int).duckmap(-> $x { $x }) 17:11
camelia ((Any) (Str) (Int))
jmerelo timotimo: so duckmap is throwing the "oh no" exception if the number of elements is not equal to 2, in which case it's going a bit deeper 17:12
timotimo no, duckmap is catching the exception
jmerelo m: my $list = [[1, [2, 3]], [[4, 5], 6, 7]]; say $list.duckmap(-> $_ { if $_.elems == 2 { $_.Str } else { die "oh no" } }).perl
camelia ["1 2 3", ["4 5", 6, 7]]
Juerd Interesting hack.
jmerelo timotimo: right, the block is throwing the exception, duckmap catching it.
17:13 lizmat joined
timotimo m: my $list = [[1, [2, 3]], [[4, 5], 6, 7]]; say $list.duckmap(-> $_ { if $_.elems == 2 { $_.perl } else { die "oh no" } }).perl 17:13
camelia ["\$[1, [2, 3]]", ["\$[4, 5]", 6, 7]]
timotimo ah
here's the reason why this is useful:
jmerelo m: my $list = [[1, [2, 3]], [[4, 5], 6, 7]]; say $list.duckmap(-> $_ { if $_.elems == 2 { $_.perl } }).perl
camelia ["\$[1, [2, 3]]"]
jmerelo timotimo: no throw, no descent 17:14
timotimo m: my $list = [[1, 2, [1e9, 2e9]]]; say $list.duckmap(-> Int $foo { $foo + 1 }).perl
camelia [2, 3, [1000000000e0, 2000000000e0]]
timotimo you give it a function that only wants to handle Int, which means duckmap will leave everything else alone
jmerelo timotimo: that explains the "duck". It only works if it walks like a duck... 17:15

zostay When doing NativeCall, is there a way to handle structs returned by value? Or do I just need to write some C shims to handle it? 20:10

Do the curly braces around the condition ( $x >= 0 ) do something special?
I know the defined operator works with or without the curly braces around the condition but are they doing something extra behind the scene? 20:47
moritz they introduce a code block, which is the most general form to write a subset constraint
but you could also write it as
m: subset NonNeg of Int where * >= 0;

MasterDuke uzl: i'm couldn't explain exactly which and why, but some things you can do by leaving off the braces and using a * instead (like moritz's example). however, some need the braces 20:58
zostay lizmat: Sorry, but no. That shows CStruct being passed by reference, but I need to see a way to return a CStruct by value... i.e., a return causing a memory copy.
I can write a shim in C that performs a memcpy or something myself. I was just wondering if someone knew of a way to do that with NativeCall. 20:59
I don't think any such thing is in the docs.
cono uzl: MasterDuke difference is that {} <- is a Block and * >= 0, will create a WhateverCode instance.
zostay I'll write the docs if someone knows of it.
lizmat zostay: perhaps a syntax could be (--> TheStruct is copy) ? 21:00
21:00 uzl_ is now known as uzl
lizmat ah, no, we would have to change the Perl 6 grammar to support that 21:00
cono so this -> $a, $b { $a cmp $b } <- is a Block wich takes 2 arguments and returns Order enum as a result. * cmp * also returns Order and takes 2 arguments, but its an instance of WhateverCode

cono uzl: this graph illustrates Block and WhateverCode and their parent: docs.perl6.org/type/Code#Type_Graph
21:03 windyhouse joined
MasterDuke those are an example where braces (i.e., a Block, as cono++ explained) are needed, but i can't explain why the WhateverCode doesn't work 21:04
uzl Thanks to all!!! (sorry, I still do not how to mention particular users in irc)
I'll take a look at the graph.
skids lizmat: No, zostay is referring to things like function f () { struct timeval f; ... return f } where a struct is pushed directly to the stack with no pointer indirection. Last time I looked for that is was not supported by NativeCall, not for returns nor for params. 21:05
lizmat skids: but isn't that just the matter of needing a wrapper function ?
skids The wrapper functions would need to be in C, but yes. 21:06
lizmat ah, no, I see what you mean,
i was thinking a wrapper in perl 6
yeah, see the problem now
is there an issue for it yet ?
skids Not sure, but it's been intentionally NYI due to it messing with calling conventions I think. I forget where I read that though. 21:07
21:08 dataangel joined
skids General industry attitude has been libraries should not don't do that in API functions these days. 21:09
mcmillhj What is the idiomatic way to iterate over a list or array if I want to start at a specific index i.e. 1?
I don't see a traditional for-loop listed in the control flow docs 21:10
MasterDuke mcmillhj: it's called loop()
skids for list.tail(something) might be more idiomatic.
mcmillhj MasterDuke: oooh, thank you. I didn't think to look there I thought that was for a different purpose
MasterDuke or .skip 21:11

MasterDuke fwiw, .skip is probably a bit faster if it's possible to use it 21:19
but, TMTOWTDI 21:20
skids .skip would definitely be better if the length is not known (e.g. a Seq)
Probably the best choice overall. 21:21

comborico1611 Why does this return false? so 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'~~ rx {a..z} 21:37

timotimo comborico1611: that's a pattern that will match a11z or abcz or aXXz or something like that 21:38

lichtkind i get Math::Matrix is insufficiently type-like to qualify a parameter 23:19
why is that?
inside its won module this worked
why not outside?
or in other words what makes a package type like? 23:20
timotimo can you say the .HOW?
m: say Foo::Bar::Baz.HOW 23:21
camelia Could not find symbol '&Baz'
in block <unit> at <tmp> line 1
timotimo well, fair enough
m: try require Foo::Bar <Baz>; Foo::Bar::Baz.HOW
camelia Could not find symbol '&Baz'
in block <unit> at <tmp> line 1
timotimo *shrug*
lichtkind .HOW return to me: Perl6::Metamodel::ClassHOW+{AttrX::Lazy::LazyAttributeContainerHOW}.new 23:26
timotimo is that output from the same file you're trying to use it as a parameter type in?
lichtkind no Math::Matrix is in different file 23:28
timotimo well, outputting it in that file isn't very interesting
lichtkind it was weird i could not even use a sub from the Math::matrix even it was loaded
timotimo well, that sounds like your problem starts much earlier than the error you're getting 23:29
is the code on line so i can try it?
lichtkind i dont want upload broken code into github
timotimo i'd accept a tarball or zipfile too 23:30
lichtkind allright i have to churn some simple prototype to test what im tryin 23:31
timotimo, thanks but you dont have to bother its a decent chunk of code
timotimo can you tell me how you're pulling the module in? and is it in your META6.json's provides section?
lichtkind yes maybe there is a better way 23:32
main idea is the module gets longer and longer and i wanted put some methods in its own file
and this class is now attribute of main class holding the parent as reference 23:33
timotimo i meant more like "do you use a 'use' statement or 'require" or something?"
the error message you've pasted suggests to me that you're not getting what you're expecting from the import
lichtkind the parent uses the ::decomposition class
b2gills the way to split up methods into more than one file is to put them into roles, and compose them in 23:34
timotimo that's why i asked you to post the .HOW, to see what you get from importing
lichtkind so you tell me that i can not even call sub under its full namen when its not exported?
b2gills The default for subs is `my` not `our` like Perl5 23:35
lichtkind b2gills, yes your right
timotimo i don't think i've said anything about subs, or full names, or did you mean someone else?
lichtkind maybe i misunderstood but it sounded you implied this but its now clearer 23:36
i try to rewrite as role 23:37
23:37 kaare_ joined, mcmillhj joined
lichtkind timotimo, thanks 23:40
timotimo i still think your problem lies with the way you import it, something's going wrong there
i was hoping you could get the .HOW of Math::Matrix in the file you've included it into, to see if it maybe shows up as a Package for example
m: use Test; sub blah(Test $a) { } 23:41

timotimo it would look like that 23:41
b2gills lichtkind: I think you have one or more mistaken assumptions, and I would prefer to find out what they are so that we can help people in the future that may have the same assumptions 23:42
(Even Perl 6 “experts” sometimes have made assumptions that turn out to be incorrect) 23:43
23:43 yoleaux joined, ChanServ sets mode: +v yoleaux
lichtkind b2gills, well my idea was: class A has class B as an attribute, and i though in class B i can use A as type 23:44
but i could not
timotimo that sounds like a case of circular dependency, what do you have to break that? a stub somewhere? 23:45
lichtkind i dont understand
i mean the stub thing
skids Stubbed class name
timotimo well, you can't "use A" in B.pm6 and have "use B" in A.pm6 23:46
lichtkind this is what i found out
but i thought no problem its already loaded 23:47
thanks agoin but i think i have to learn more and some real bugs to fix first 23:49
b2gills You would need a `class A {...}` added to the top of B.pm6 23:54
