Set by Zoffix on 25 May 2018.
Zoffix lembark: don't see a way to exclude that path with compile time options, so I filed an Issue: github.com/rakudo/rakudo/issues/1936 R#1936 00:03
synopsebot_ R#1936 [open]: github.com/rakudo/rakudo/issues/1936 Wanted configuration option to exclude home dir from repos
Zoffix jnthn++ # responding to R#1289 \o/ 00:05
synopsebot_ R#1289 [open]: github.com/rakudo/rakudo/issues/1289 [6.d][severe] [6.d BLOCKER] Implement a Way to Know Caller's Language
Zoffix Makes me think we should trim the list of 6.d changes and push anything affected by the blocker to 6.e 00:07
Zoffix .tell moritz reminder that you're listed as Stake Holder for making @/%/& sigils reject :U stuff by default: github.com/perl6/6.d-prep/blob/mas...te-objects 00:15
yoleaux Zoffix: I'll pass your message to moritz.
Zoffix .tell samcv reminder that you're listed as stake holder for brackets stuff github.com/perl6/6.d-prep/blob/mas...rsbrackets 00:16
yoleaux Zoffix: I'll pass your message to samcv.
samcv yeah that's been fixed 00:16
yoleaux 00:16Z <Zoffix> samcv: reminder that you're listed as stake holder for brackets stuff github.com/perl6/6.d-prep/blob/mas...rsbrackets
samcv should i move it from the file? i had aleady noted it was completed at the end 00:17
Zoffix oh, OK. I'll move it to the COMPLETED.md file 00:17
samcv ok thanks :)
Zoffix: is there a way to see whether we're on 6.d or not yet?
from rakudo code that is 00:18
samcv that's this issue? github.com/rakudo/rakudo/issues/1289 00:18
i'll check it out some
Zoffix samcv: yeah, that's the issue. When compiling, you can use the newly available $*W.lang-ver-before('d'), for lexicals, you can just stick them in a file in src/core.d/*, but the rest (such as finding caller's lang version), that's what the Issue is about. 00:20
samcv Zoffix: so that would wok in rakudo code or no? 00:20
*work 00:21
Zoffix samcv: yeah
samcv i need to control whether .decode is strict or lenient in the decoding same with encoding
ah ok cool
Mark04 forgot quite how long compiling rakudo takes on a raspberry pi :)
Zoffix samcv: that probably is part of the Issue, because you need to know the caller's lang to figure out how to make that method behave
Mark04: took like 25 minutes on mine 00:22
samcv ah yeah
Zoffix Mark04: using these instructions: github.com/MoarVM/MoarVM/issues/34...-395962001 with swap increased to 2GB 00:22
Mark04 Zoffix: hum good tips, I'm already at 2GB swap, but I'm using the arch user repository package for rakudo, and other than changing the architecture to support arm I haven't changed anything so I'll let you know how long it takes :) 00:25
Zoffix ok :)
My build was on B+ Pi 00:26
Mark04 (although I'm loosing already cos it's like 40 minutes already… :P ) 00:27
Zoffix :o
Mark04 Pi 3 B on my end
(fiou, and that's one hour, I'm off to bed!) Thanks again for the help, will be back if I can't figure out what was up. 00:45
Zoffix \o 00:46
Zoffix New blog post: "Perl 6 CaR TPF Grant: Monthly Report (June, 2018)": blogs.perl.org/users/zoffix_znet/20...-2018.html 00:49
Geth doc: 74902c6eb7 | (Timo Paulssen)++ | doc/Type/Real.pod6
add method Complex to Real

to explain how an Int, for example, becomes a Comeplex number via this coercer.		 01:13
synopsebot_ Link: doc.perl6.org/type/Real
Kaiepi i'm experimenting with dynamic variables and eval in grammars and i'm a bit confused 01:27
i wrote this hastebin.com/ayutuyagut.pl, but i'm not sure what <?{}> or <!{}> are doing or why they work
Zoffix <?{}> is a successful match if the code inside the curlies returns a true value. <!{}> is the same, except false value 01:28
And in `token type` you probably meant to use just a bare block? So it's executed when that branch matches? 01:29
Xliff If a subrule in a rule has multiple matches, how do I access each individual match? 01:30
timotimo yes, that's why you have to put an ! when you have = 0 and a ? when you have a = 1
Kaiepi ohhh
Xliff I am trying $/<rule>[], but that doesn't seem to be working.
Kaiepi when would i be able to use <{}>? 01:31
Zoffix Kaiepi: when you're returning something to match 01:32
m: say "foo" ~~ /<{'f+'}>/
camelia ｢f｣
timotimo <{ }> uses the return value of the block and treats it as regex syntax
Zoffix uh
ah
m: say "foo" ~~ /<{'f.+'}>/
camelia ｢foo｣
Kaiepi oh that's perfect for the grammar i'm trying to write for net::telnet
Zoffix Kaiepi: like gist.github.com/zoffixznet/0431129...a9fdbf4f06
Xliff: FWIW, $/<rule> can be written as just $<rule> 01:33
Xliff: what's the .gist of $/ ?
timotimo Xliff: does .gist of the match object help figure out the ... yes
i can also recommend Data::Dump::Tree for dumping match objects
Zoffix I think that module still fails on newer rakudos 01:34
Xliff I am using Data::Dump::Tree
And I am using subrules that are matched via [ <s1> <s2> ]+ % [ ',' \s* ]
Zoffix Xliff: what's the .gist of $/ ? 01:35
Xliff So if I gist, I get alternating lines of s1=..., s2=...
Kaiepi this would be equivalent right? gist.github.com/Kaiepi/420265032e1...4326a6d38a
Xliff Zoffix: One second.
Zoffix m: say "foo" ~~ /<{Empty}>/ 01:36
camelia Nil
timotimo Kaiepi: depends on how the regex engine interprets the return value of a non-taken if or unless
Zoffix Kaiepi: looks like it
Kaiepi what do you mean timotimo?
timotimo m: say "Empty" ~~ /<{Empty}>/
camelia Nil
timotimo m: say "()" ~~ /<{Empty}>/
camelia Nil
timotimo m: say Empty.Str 01:37
camelia
Zoffix m: say "foo meow ber" ~~ m:g/<{<foo bar ber>}>/
camelia (｢foo｣ ｢ber｣)
Xliff Zoffix - pastebin.com/yc10i6uv
timotimo well, it'll interpolate an empty string in that case, it looks like
Zoffix timotimo: I think it's treated as a list of alternatives to match, not just a plain Str
timotimo ah, an empty list, that's better
i forgot we have that feature. it's a good feature. 01:38
i'm going to bed, good luck!
Xliff Zoffix: Any ideas? 01:39
Zoffix Xliff: in $/<rule>[0] 'rule' is what? 'type' in your gist? 01:40
Xliff Yes.
OK. Is there a way to iterate? Does $/<rule>[0] do Iterator?
Because when I do $/<rule>.elems, I get 1
Zoffix I get 2 01:41
timotimo just checking, @<rule> makes no difference?
Zoffix m: say "foo 42, bar 100" ~~ /[$<type>=<[a..z]>+ \s+ $<rule>=\d+]+ % [","\s*]/; say $<type>.elems
camelia ｢foo 42, bar 100｣
type => ｢foo｣
rule => ｢42｣
type => ｢bar｣
rule => ｢100｣
2
Zoffix m: "foo 42, bar 100" ~~ /[$<type>=<[a..z]>+ \s+ $<rule>=\d+]+ % [","\s*]/; say $<type>.elems
camelia 2
Zoffix Xliff: so it *would* be $/<rule>[0], etc.
timotimo Xliff: do you know of GPTrixie? you might be reinventing it 01:42
Xliff timotimo: No, that gives me an error.
Zoffix m: "foo 42, bar 100" ~~ /[$<type>=<[a..z]>+ \s+ $<rule>=\d+]+ % [","\s*]/; for $<type> { say $++ ~ "th type is $_" }
camelia 0th type is foo
1th type is bar
Zoffix eco: GPTrixie
buggable Zoffix, App::GPTrixie 'Generate NativeCall code from C headers file': modules.perl6.org/dist/App::GPTrixi...ail.com%3E
Xliff Ooh! I did NOT know about $++
timotimo is it supposed to put the whole email address in there, too?
Xliff Thanks!
Zoffix timotimo: it's using `author`, but it should be using `auth`, which AFAIK currently is poorly specced. 01:43
But then, nothing stops people from putting email addresses into auth either, I guess
timotimo OK
seeya later 01:44
Zoffix \o
Xliff: it's `$` actually. An anonymous state variables. The `++` is an op.
And since you ain't got a name for the variable you can only access it up there once, so ++$, --$, $++, $-- are the most common operations to do on it 01:45
MasterDuke Xliff: fyi, i'm not sure exactly what state it's in, but nativecallable is meant to be sort of a frontend for GPTrixie 01:50
lindylex I am trying to write a script to check for palindromes. When i compare a string I flip it gives me a False even when the string is the same. pastebin.com/vKt3xwit USAGE :: ./palindrome.pl "Baby Bab" 01:59
lindylex I tried this $reverseSendHalf.fc eq $firstHalf.fc; that did not work. 02:04
MasterDuke lindylex: $reverseSendHalf has a space at the end 02:06
Xliff MasterDuke: nativecallable? Sounds interesting! :) 02:08
MasterDuke nativecallable6: help 02:09
nativecallable6 MasterDuke, Like this nativecallable6: <some C definition> # See wiki for more examples: github.com/perl6/whateverable/wiki...vecallable
AlexDaniel nativecallable6: struct s {char b[];}; 02:16
nativecallable6 AlexDaniel, /tmp/gptnc.h:4:16: error: flexible array member 'b' not allowed in otherwise empty struct␤struct s {char b[];};␤ ^␤1 error generated.␤class s is repr('CStruct') is export {␤ has NYIRP6(Array with size) $.b; # char[1] b␤} 02:17
AlexDaniel nativecallable6: struct s {char b[42];};
nativecallable6 AlexDaniel, class s is repr('CStruct') is export {␤ has NYIRP6(Array with size) $.b; # char[42] b␤}
AlexDaniel I guess it does work a bit :)
nativecallable6: struct s {char b; float c; int d}; 02:18
nativecallable6 AlexDaniel, gist.github.com/dc53310c0a50104d3e...599341b6c2
Util lindylex: When I add this code: `say [:$firstHalf, :$reverseSendHalf].perl;` , 02:28
I see: [:firstHalf("bab"), :reverseSendHalf("bab ")].
That space is your problem.
So either the answer *is* false because 'y' is not ' ',
or you need to remove embedded blanks, like `my $without_whitespace = $sring.trans(' ', '')`
lindylex Util: thanks I was trying to figure out what is wrong and how yo see that blank space. 02:29
Util Oops, that should be `.trans(' ' => '')` 02:30
When debugging, use `dd` or `say $something.perl;` , so whitespace is easy to see. 02:31
lindylex Util thanks for that tip.
Util m: my $a = " a b c d e f "; my $b = $a.trans(" " => ""); dd $a, $b; 02:32
camelia Str $a = " a b c d e f "
Str $b = "abcdef"
Util lindylex: yw
lindylex Util: I love this say $secondHalf.perl; Thanks so much, 02:38
Kaiepi evalable6, say 1 03:47
evalable6 1
Kaiepi evalable6, my $c = IO::Socket::INET.new(:host<telehack.com>, :port(23), :encoding<latin1>); my $fd = $c.native-descriptor; $c.close; say $fd
evalable6 -1
Kaiepi evalable6, my $s = IO::Socket::INET.new(:localhost<127.0.0.1>, :localport(8000), :listen); my $fd = $s.native-descriptor; $s.close; say $fd 04:01
evalable6 -1
Kaiepi i'll need to check if that's supposed to be -1 or not
araraloren_ It's -1 on my notebook too 04:09
Geth doc: Kaiepi++ created pull request #2106:
Document using dynamic variables for state in grammars		 05:58
Kaiepi is there a way to configure the default flags used with Configure.pl? 06:13
typing out "./Configure.pl --gen-moar --moar-option=--has-libuv --moar-option=--has-dyncall --moar-option=--has-libtommath --moar-option=--has-libatomic_ops --moar-option=--cc=egcc --prefix=$HOME/.perl6" is ridiculous
El_Che Kaiepi: I habe never used that many flags 06:34
Kaiepi the only ones necessary for moar to build properly are --moar-option=--has-libuv, --moar-option=--has-dyncall --moar-option=--cc=egcc --prefix=$HOME/.perl6 06:37
but it's still a lot of typing 06:38
El_Che I build moar properly without any of those switches (except prefix, because I am creating packages) 06:49

Marcool Hi all, I've been struggling with a simple script which is causing perl6 to throw "MoarVM panic: Internal error: Unwound entire stack and missed handler" 08:40
I've reinstalled rakudo, reinstalled both modules that it uses (LibCurl::HTTP and JSON::Fast) and no improvement…
Should I file a bug?
(when I say reinstalled rakudo I mean re-compiled and installed)
Marcool perl6 --version -> This is Rakudo version 2018.05 built on MoarVM version 2018.05 implementing Perl 6.c. 08:41
uname -a -> Linux hostname 4.14.49-1-ARCH #1 SMP Fri Jun 15 02:09:36 UTC 2018 armv7l GNU/Linux
Zoffix was very helpfull last night with a bunch of suggestions to try and get better output but I can't get it to fail with anything better than that message 08:42
El_Che Marcool: when in doubt, file a bug, I would say 08:43
Marcool FWIW the same script works fine on a macOS 10.13 machine :/ as it did on Ziffix's setup
El_Che: right, I just wanted to see if there was anything else could be suggested, above --ll-exception and MVM_SPESH_DISABLE=1 08:44

hankache hello #perl6 11:23
jmerelo Hi naoum!
hankache hi jj
Anyone interested in translating perl6intro to Russian? 11:25
jmerelo hankache: I know a few Russian users; I don't know how often they hang around here.
.seen shitov
yoleaux I haven't seen shitov around.
jmerelo hankache: maybe create an issue in perl6/marketing? 11:26
hankache jmerelo: I just had someone on GitHub request a Russian translation.
github.com/hankache/perl6intro/issues/184
jmerelo: no need to put it in perl6/marketing since there's already an issue open for it in perl6intro 11:28
jmerelo Besides Andrei Shitov, there's Andrei Melezhik... To reach them, the best might be either issue or contacting them via Twitter (or the Perl 6 facebook group)
hankache: The only thing with perl6/marketing is that quite a bunch of people get notifications. But of course, do whatever you think it's best. 11:29
hankache jmerelo: Gracias! 11:30
jmerelo jmerelo: un placer. Buena suerte :-) 11:31
frankjh Hi I am trying to get a native module of mine installing again. I am 11:40
using 'panda' and I think I have to support 'zef' now.
Currently I can compile the native code, but the perl6 code does not
pick up the shared library object.
jmerelo frankjh: right. Panda is deprecated. 11:41
frankjh: did you setup all paths as indicated?
frankjh jmerelo: Probably not, but I do not find the issue. pastebin.com/raw/zPrx51K9 11:42
jmerelo frankjh: you can use the whole path to the library: docs.perl6.org/language/nativecall..._and_Names 11:44
frankjh jmerelo: Yes, but how would that then work for people not on my machine? I thought zef should pull from github 11:46
jmerelo frankjh: when you say native, you mean as in NativeCall or simply native as in written totally in Perl 6? 11:47
frankjh: right, I see. It's not finding the .so. 11:48
frankjh jmerelo: Sorry I meant NativeCall. It is this module github.com/soundart/perl6-tweetnacl
hankache frankjh: maybe this can help: github.com/retupmoca/P6-LibraryMake 11:49
jmerelo frankjh: not sure zef is ready for installing .so files... Or to keep track of them.
jmerelo goes AFK for now and thanks hankache for following up on this...
hankache frankjh: LibraryMake is being used in such cases 11:51
frankjh hankache: Thank you, I followed this example basically. However in Makefile.in the target for the shared object did not work 100% 11:51
frankjh hankache: The line "%DESTDIR%/resources/libraries/%chelper%:" from the example produced a file called %chelper% so. I changed it to "%DESTDIR%/resources/libraries/libtweetnacl%SO%" 11:53
hackache: in the pm6 file the line "constant CHELPER = %?RESOURCES<libraries/chelper>.absolute;" Does not seem to include the full %DESTDIR% part. 11:55
It was compiled to /home/user/projects/perl6-tweetnacl/resources/libraries/libtweetnacl.so and loaded from: /home/user/projects/resources/libraries/libtweetnacl.so
Somewhere there is the disconnect.... 11:56
hankache frankjh: I am not really sure what's going on. 12:01
frankjh hankache: thanks you. Me neither. Currently I am searching for another nativecall based library which compiles its own lib and which works with zef. 12:10
hankache frankjh: There's this github.com/hoelzro/p6-linenoise 12:11
frankjh hankache: ah very good. Thank you! 12:18
Util docs.perl6.org/type/Promise#sub_await says: 13:19
multi sub await(Promise:D --> Promise)
But this code:
m: my $p = start { 1 + 2 }; my $a = await $p; say .WHAT.perl for $a, $p;
camelia Int
Promise
Util indicates that `await` is operating as `await(Promise:D --> whatever_the_result_type_of_the_threaded_op_was)`
, as I would expect (and have relied on in some of my code)
Is this a doc problem, or something I am mis-understanding? 13:20
jmerelo my $p = start { 1 + 2 }; my $a := await $p; say .WHAT.perl for $a, $p; 13:20
evalable6 Int
Promise
jmerelo Util: might be a doc problem. Also automatic coercion. At any rate, it does not work as expected, so maybe it's the best to create an issue 13:21
jnthn Util: Doc problem

MasterDuke Kaiepi: btw, i don't think any flags are actually required for MoarVM's build 13:57
Kaiepi some are on my system 14:02
libuv's broken with ipv6, dyncall's broken with nativecall callbacks, gcc's too old iirc 14:03
MasterDuke some sort of BSD, correct? 14:04
Kaiepi yeah, openbsd
MasterDuke doesn't Configure.pl have autodetection of OS and then do some things differently? 14:05
Kaiepi it does, but the issues are in the libraries, not the build script 14:06
MasterDuke Kaiepi: btw, changing topics, it's probably good to get in the habit of using '{*}' (i.e., no spaces) for your protos 14:07
ah
Kaiepi github.com/MoarVM/dyncall/commit/a...716d0b4c5a fixes the issues i was having with dyncall
why {*}?
MasterDuke if you ever want to change the proto to put some actual code in it, you'll need to add a '{*}' 14:08
so it's easier to just use that from the beginning, then you can just put some other braces around it if/when you're adding other code 14:09
Kaiepi you can put code in protos?
MasterDuke yeah

doing it
Kaiepi ah 14:13
b2gills Kaiepi: I have an example where I used `proto sub MAIN (|) { try { say +{*} } or say $!.message }` gist.github.com/b2gills/93d1e2aa6583b95315b2 14:29
Basically all of the `multi MAIN` subroutines return something that will numify into the number of bytes. 14:30
Kaiepi looks like it could be useful for some nativecall stuff 14:36
[Coke] tries to figure if the guy in the cowboy hat is timtoady or a lookalike. :)
Kaiepi wait that's just in proto, never mind 14:38
jmerelo [Coke]: Maybe he's cosplaying

  [CaR Grant] Rewrite section on constants
lembark Q: is there any way to configure NativeCall to prefer /lib64 instead of /usr/lib64? 17:12
Problem installing readline: it finds /usr/lib64/libreadline.so, which is an ld script on my system. Leaves me without a working readline. 17:13
hoelzro whoa, that's interesting 17:15
MasterDuke isn't there some sort of LD_LIBRARY_PATH env variable that might be useful? 17:28

Fix example error

  `my $list = ('b' => 2);` is not a List but a Pair, which makes the

Be more precise in description of `|` in arglists

Not all the time would it mean to slip in *named* argms		 18:20
perlpilot Is TPC streaming any talks?

Streaming? I don't think so
They are still trying to get video volunteers for straight recording, I think.

Zoffix How to make it happy?
m: sub meow ( :@list ($z, $second, |) ) { say $second }; meow :list<a b c>; 19:25
camelia b
Zoffix This does the trick, but is there any way to do the same without having to declare @list? 19:26
s/declare.+/have @list available/;
moritz a sigiled, named anonymous parameter?
i don't think so :)
Zoffix No, it would have the sigil 19:27
Like, how to make my first example work, where it's just `:list` and `@list` is not available in the bodyt
s/would/would NOT/;
I guess that's impossible. 19:31
Perl 6 clearly isn't advanced enough for the high demands on the modern day programmers!
:) 19:32
m: sub meow (:list(:@ ($, $second, |)) { say $second }; meow :list<a b c>;

Unable to parse named parameter; couldn't find right parenthesis

------> 3sub meow (:list(:@7⏏5 ($, $second, |)) { say $second }; meow
Zoffix kinda would've thought this syntax would've worked... :list is an alias :@ is the name, which is then unpacked 19:33
m: sub meow (Positional :list( ($, $second, |))) { say $second }; meow :list<a b c>;

lindylex I would like to understand why I can not output the value of the class variable pastebin.com/xwiP2Fea 20:04
[Coke] the class isn't constructed at that point. 20:06
at compile time, you're in the middle of constructing the object; are you trying to find that value out when the object is instantiated?
lindylex [Coke] I see. 20:07
I would need to do it in initme
jmerelo [Coke]: When would that code be actually run? Theoretically any code in class scope will be run in compile time?
Zoffix lindylex: you can just stick that linto into `submethod BUILD` to do so: submethod BUILD { say $!halfLength.perl }
That's also a pretty huge way to write a pallindrome checker 20:08
[Coke] jmerelo: I believe it's getting run when the class is being constructed. not sure which phase, but "early".
Zoffix m: subset Pallindrome of Str where .flip eq $_; say $_ ~~ Pallindrome for <foo []][ moom> 20:09
camelia False

jmerelo [Coke]: but it would be a place to do stuff with class variables or class-scoped variables.

lizmat [Coke] thats probably the result of a rather large batch size, with not a lot to do, so that a job is already done before another thread gets started 21:30

[Coke] I can't seem to force anything with degree or batch. wondering if race is just being smarter than I am. 21:39
so, with :1batch, with one of these, I can see some variance at element 99. I feel better, now 21:41
