ryn1x Is there a more concise way to write this?: with $chan.poll { if $_ { print $_ } } 02:28
Juerd if $chan.poll -> $x { print $x } 02:29
ryn1x ah that works. thanks! 02:30
I was trying this: if $chan.poll{ print $_ } 02:31
Juerd "if" doesn't set the topic like "with" does
You could do so explicitly: if $chan.poll -> $_ { print $_ } 02:32
Or, when using print as a method: if $chan.poll -> $_ { .print } 02:33
But personally I prefer setting a variable with a meaningful name. I used $x in this example because I don't know what kind of thing your channel would provide.
Also note that if $chan.poll{ print $_ } is missing whitespace after "poll", turning {} into a postcircumfix operator instead of if's block. 02:35
ryn1x ah yeah... that was just a transcrption error. it is working in the real code.

I am trying to figure out IPC with a python program using stdin and stdout. I have the Supply from the Proc::Async being tapped to a channel. Not sure if this is a good idea though... Playing around with reading and reacting to what is in the channel now... 02:38

AlexDaniel in a regex, how can I match a string returned from a block? <{ }> almost works but it EVALs (which I don't need), and $() doesn't work because I can't access already matched parts like $<foo> 02:44

there's probably a way to do without but I'd much rather not

AlexDaniel ryn1x: what about the big example here: docs.perl6.org/type/Proc::Async 03:37
ryn1x: most parts of that example you probably don't need, so it will end up being shorter 03:39
ryn1x: but react/whenever is what you want to use, IMO
that way you can easily avoid infinite loops like the one in your example 03:40

ryn1x AlexDaniel: thanks. not sure why I haven't played with that example yet... I was skipping around the docs looking for what I thought I needed and missed it... I haven't used react/whenever yet... looks cool 03:45
Is there any reason to choose $proc.put: 'command' or $proc.write: "command\n".encode ? Does binary vs UTF-8 matter for ipc to a program expecting commands via stdin? 03:58

github.com/Xliff/p6-GtkPlus/commit...617bfcc9a4
ryn1x: react/whenever is an interesting construct. I've just recently started with it, myself. Using Proc::Async, as well. 04:07
AlexDaniel: That example formed the basis of the process monitor I am using to monitor my builds. 04:15
github.com/Xliff/p6-GtkPlus/commit...617bfcc9a4
Er... not that link 04:16
github.com/Xliff/p6-GtkPlus/blob/m...onitor.pl6
AlexDaniel ryn1x: it depends on what kind of data you are sending
if it's text then probably no need to use :bin
ryn1x AlexDaniel: ok, that's what I figued, just saw an example somewhere using write and then encode so wasn't sure what I was missing 04:17
AlexDaniel Xliff: I'm glad that people find that example useful. In my eyes it is way too complicated, but I don't know any easy way to simplify it 04:18
Xliff Well, there were a few traps I ran into, mostly due to my still-limited understanding of react/whenever. 04:19
For example, react is blocking, so it took me a minute to determine my $*SCHEDULER call needed to be BEFORE, not AFTER the block. 04:20
Would react/whenever work inside a Promise?
AlexDaniel what do you mean? Inside a promise? 04:22
Xliff my $proc = Proc::Async.new: :r, <my command here>; my $prom = start { react { whenever this { }; whenever that { }; whenever $proc.start { } }; 04:24
I wouldn't want to "await $prom" because the whole point is to make the react/whenever non-blocking
Or am I missing something? 04:25
AlexDaniel sure, that will work just fine
Xliff Cool! Thanks. 04:26
ryn1x AlexDaniel: Xliff: Ok.. so this react/whenever construct is interesting and I have it working, but if I wanted to leave a react block, do some other stuff, and come back to control my Proc::Async that is still running later, it seems that is not possible? 04:27
Xliff ryn1x: Heh. That's kinda touching on what I was just talking about.
AlexDaniel ryn1x: can't you just add another `whenever` to do the stuff you need? 04:28
Xliff ryn1x: Are you trying to run code periodically? 04:29
ryn1x: If you have code written, that would help a lot. :) 04:31
ryn1x I want to control another program (the async process) and then leave it running because it has a lot of start-up over head.... go do a bunch of unrelated things ... come back to controlling the async process.
But playing with react/whenever it seems like I need to wrap my entire program in the react block which seems wrong... 04:32
Xliff I would say: whenever $proc.start { my $promise = start { # do unrelated things here }; } 04:33
AlexDaniel Xliff: but that means that the proc has finished
Xliff Oh.
Well see! I am still learning. :P 04:34
Heh :)
Then: my $promise = start { # do unrelated things here }; }; react { ... }
AlexDaniel ryn1x: I guess you'd need a `start` block somewhere. Either `start react { … }` or start your bunch of unrelated things before going into react
ryn1x Is the proc killed when you call done() to exit the block? 04:36
Xliff The proc should have exited before that happens. 04:37
To exit the proc, you should use $proc.kill.
AlexDaniel I'm actually not sure 04:38

AlexDaniel ryn1x: ↑
and note that you can still communicate with channels or anything else you need 04:43
m: my $c = Channel.new; start react { whenever Promise.in(2) { say ‘we are reacting to things!’ }; whenever $c { say “we got $_” } }; say ‘we are here’; $c.send: 42; sleep 3; say ‘byeeeeeeee’
camelia we are here
we got 42
we are reacting to things!
byeeeeeeee
ryn1x AlexDaniel: That looks really close to what I need... I just need to be able to send commands to the process whenever.... Is it possible to and execute the `start react {...}` and still `$proc.put: "command"` from outside the react block somehow? 04:47
AlexDaniel ryn1x: I'm pretty sure you can $proc.put from anywhere you want 04:48
ryn1x AlexDaniel: Ok cool. This was really helpful. Thanks! 04:49

AlexDaniel ryn1x: instead of `whenever $proc.Supply.lines` I think you can do just `whenever $proc` 05:22
ah
actually
`whenever $proc.lines` ?
↑ that's the one, I think
ryn1x Ok. I'll play with that tomorrow. Time to go to sleep now. Thanks again. 05:23
AlexDaniel ryn1x: instead of `until $isready {};`
use `await $proc.ready`
because that won't eat cpu needlessly 05:24

my $a = %(a => 1); my $b = { a => 1 }; Are they the same?

xinming Got it, %() is recommended to be used for creating hash, { } is for creating blocks

there is some speculation about adding a "as" parameter to use statements, if I recall correctly

zashi hi 11:03
I'm trying to parse command line arguments via MAIN and pass that to a second perl app that will parse it the same. The main app is only a redirector to the other apps. Example "rep init file.c" will exec rep p6 which will exec rep-init p6 as "rep-init file.c" (sort of git behavior). The first main is multi MAIN($action, Bool :v=False, *@args). The problem is that after using :named-anywhere, any unknown flag is thrown as error and not
Example: "rep -v init file.x" and "rep init -v file.x" also works as expected, but "rep -v init file.x -unknown" does not.. I would like any unrecognized flag to be slurped in order to be transmitted to the second app to have a chance to be recognized later by the second app.

11:35 patrickb left, Ven` left
zashi and the communication between the main p6 and subcommands p6 is by running it as a command because now it's a p6 but a user might decide he wants a specific subcommand to be done in another language, sort of like linux philosophy 11:35

ryn1x Do you guys thing porting Graphics::TIFF from perl5 to perl6 would be difficult? The source code looks pretty short... I think I would just need to learn how to wrap a C library with NativeCall? metacpan.org/pod/release/RATCLIFFE...cs/TIFF.pm 16:27
hahainternet ryn1x: i'm only passing through, but extremely simple 16:28
ryn1x I just need to figure out how the Perl5 xsloader code convertes to NativeCall I think... they both perform similar functions right? Access to C libraries... Haven't used either and I don't know Perl5 so this make take more time in reading/researching than coding. 16:30
hahainternet i don't think you want to waste your time learning XS or how to translate 16:31
consider just using nativecall directly and attempting to manipulate a test file w/tifflib or whatever directyly 16:32
i am not an authority though, just giving you my perspective
ryn1x Ok. That sounds like a good idea. I start with reading up on NativeCall. 16:33
leont That's rather outdated XS too -_-
I know little about NativeCall, and more than I should about XS. I'm not sure how one would do all those constants with NC. Calling most functions should be trivial though 16:34
ryn1x Hmm.... Are you saying I might have to redefine all the constants and their values in regular perl6 code because native call can't use the ones defined by the c library like xs (apparantly) can? 16:36
geekosaur nativecall and xs are very different things 16:41
16:42 cog left 16:43 moony_ joined, p6bannerbot sets mode: +v moony_
lizmat ryn1x: it is my understanding that NativeCall is mostly runtime 16:43
so it won't be able to "see" constants, unless they're also public symbols 16:44
ryn1x hmm ok..
lizmat and I may also be talking pretty much nonsense here (with regards to public symbols)
ryn1x so NativeCall is still what I would want if I need to start from stratch to provide perl6 bindings to the C libtiff library though? 16:45
I have to eventually run this code on a windows machine so it seems really weird to do the alternative and inline::perl5 to then call a c library... especially since windows has to have stawberry perl installed separately 16:47
sena_kun Yes, it is likely what you want. As far as I know, you can use NativaCall on windows too, though it might be a bit more tricky to ship your .dll file than on unix-like. 16:49
As in nice gnu/linux if necessary .so library is already installed in some default location, you don't need to do anything to use it with NativeCall. 16:50
ryn1x Story of my life... I get everything working on our Linux/macOS machines and then have to struggle on windows. 16:51
Although I just got WSL running... playing around with that... 16:52
sena_kun Absence of sane "/lib" on Windows is not something to be fixed by this community. If it can be fixed.
but that's another question. anyway, I just wanted to write that docs for NativeCall is what you want. You can look at someone's library using NativeCall to get some ideas about that, also don't hesitate to ask questions if there will be any tricky places. 16:54

Altreus anyone know whether anyone is working on LDAP? 17:37
bagsy not it 17:38
El_Che whatdoyamean
modules? product?
client? server?
Altreus some sort of module/s yeah 17:39
El_Che Net::LDAP
Altreus ... I mean I was thinking client
but server
interesting idea
it's done?
El_Che A perl ldap server?
moritz btw python'3 ldap3 seems to be pretty good 17:40
Altreus modules.perl6.org/search/?q=ldap
El_Che (openldap has a perl backend by the way)
moritz if you plan to do some ldap stuff, I'd recommend looking at it for inspiration
Altreus we wanted to use it for auth in a cro system but I really don't get on with LDAP myself
El_Che Altreus: I tried a little, but didn't have the time for something usefull 17:41
I played with libldap and nc
Altreus it seems liek a large undertaking
El_Che but it's a lot of work
indeed 17:42
libldap has many opaque datatypes
Altreus and logic
El_Che Also, NC and versioning is a pain 17:43
some time ago I wanted to write a small project in perl6 or go, but ended writing it in perl 5 because of the lack of good ldap libs 17:45
So, yes, it's a bad combination of needed and not easy to implement 17:49

El_Che My computer just told me there was an update of the "Rakudo Perl 6 runtime" :) 18:58
It means the repo is working fine
Altreus I did think of just having a RESTful microservice for LDAP creds 19:03
El_Che Or go the oauth/openid-connect/saml route with a ldap backend 19:04
is the way to go as you don't have to handle secrets
(but it's something on the org level) 19:05
(as it needs work and admin care)
Altreus: I have been thinking of a rest service for ldap as well, but because we have a saml infrastructure (and since shortly openid-connect one), the hasn't been enough reason to do the work 19:11

jc_denton1 Hello, 20:44
I'm working on a small project using IO::Socket::Async. I'm trying write some tests to make sure I'm handling a connection loss properly but my intial atempts didn't go as planned. I thought using a QUIT phaser would work but that didn't give any response in the tests I tried closing the supply but that isn't giving the results I was hoping for. Can someone point me in the right direction on how to handle a connection loss with IO::Socket
::Async?
ryn1x El_Che: *@ does not work... get the error: Too many positionals passed; expected 2 arguments but got 3 20:47
El_Che yeah, expected something like that :( 20:49
ryn1x suprised it isnt mentioned in the nativetypes doc page ... it seems to be used all over c libraries 20:50

iirc, the outlook was bad, 5 months ago
El_Che good memory 21:00
tobs I'm afraid the best suggestion was to supply a small C library with your module which wraps the variadic function and provides something non-variadic interface for your NativeCall
ryn1x tobs: thanks 21:01
El_Che yeah, that would work, but it gets us closer to XS territory

Allow some tests to compile-check solo.

Allows us to test items that might interfere with other tests when run in a giant EVAL'd environment.
  (E.g. having multiple exports of the same name that are
only conflicting across multiple files)
solo implies that don't have to wrap the code in anything.		 23:20
