pmichaud TimToady (and others who want to contribute): github.com/perl6/specs/issues/18 01:43
(just made a minor edit; reload) 01:44
colomon plan? 01:45
pmichaud .plan is the lazy form of .push
perlcabal.org/syn/S32/Containers.html#plan 01:46
colomon bless you.
errr, rather, pmichaud++
pmichaud afaik it's nyi in rakudo, but can be easily made into yi
colomon so plan will definitely do the job, right?
pmichaud yes, but I'm not sure that's really intended to be the canonical way of combining the elements of two lists 01:47
(or more)
colomon I don't know about that (don't know enough about .plan to judge yet) but it does kind of feel like there ought to be a graceful operator to do this. 01:48
pmichaud oh, and actually plan (as defined in S32) *won't* do it, because it flattens. 01:49
I'll update the ticket.
updated. 01:50
colomon++ 01:51
colomon so, graceful operator? 01:52
pmichaud I don't know yet. :-)
colomon almost seems like the pipe operator should do this? 01:53
pmichaud I'm hoping that's not the case. It may be the case.
colomon (I mean, not that it's implemented that away now, but could be.)
pmichaud (|@x, |@y) concerns me a little bit because it'll mean we need "lazy Parcels". We might need them anyway, but that will mean I get to start bugging jnthn++ about it :) 01:54
i.e., the binder would have to know how to deal with Parcels that have "bare" active iterators in them. 01:55
01:56 dukeleto left, Exodist left, plobsing left, aloha left, rsimoes left, c1sung left, baest left, domidumont left
pmichaud ...although I guess it would really end up being (|@x, |@y).list ... which doesn't frighten me _quite_ as much. 02:03
but our mechanism for piping things is currently eager-ish.
colomon pmichaud: just so it's clear, I'm proposing we spec an operator to do this. I don't know what we've got now that can implement it, other than brutally using gather / take. 02:04
pmichaud colomon: okay, good clarification. I suspect "spec a new operator" falls into TimToady++ realm. 02:05
colomon and it seems like a low-level approach is likely to be best, anyway.
pmichaud yes
colomon (implementing it, I mean)
colomon suspects infix:<followed-by> is a bit long 02:06
pmichaud in some way it feels similar to the metaops, like reduction or zip or something, since we're doing something to multiple lists 02:07
colomon agreed
infix:<ZZ>?
colomon is sure TimToady will swoop in and fix an inelegant solution sooner or later. 02:08
pmichaud well, it's more like a reduction
[followed-by] @a, @b
but without the flattening that reduction implies :-)
anyway, yes, I'll await the swoop. 02:09
colomon [,] @a, @b
?
pmichaud Knowing the answer to this question may speed me a fair bit along on fixing some of the other List issues
(...and it may not :-)
colomon ah, I was proposing we just come up with something in the full knowledge we'll probably have to do a search and replace when TimToady++ gets involved. 02:10
pmichaud [,] is already specced to mean "make a new Array"
well, I don't need the answer so much for an immediate code problem as I do for the overall question of improving the List implementation 02:11
I mean, I could just define a @x.CONCAT(@y) and patch it all up internally and it wouldn't really answer my overall understanding of flattening behavior 02:13
that's why the question is more about the canonical answer than "let's just make something that works"
02:14 mucker left
colomon It's just I get the urge to implement something when I realize there's a hole, you know? :) 02:14

pmichaud I've updated the original issue to clarify that I'm looking for the canonical answer and the underlying reason for the question. colomon++ again. 02:16
colomon btw, this conversation is memorialized anyway, no? ;) 02:18
pmichaud yes, but it's less formal than a conversation in an issue thread, I think.
it's more conducive to back-and-forth discussion, as we've been having here.
a reply in an issue thread might be taken as "here's the answer" even when it's meant to be more speculative :) 02:19
my main intent for putting things into specs/issues is to keep a list of the outstanding questions, so they aren't forgotten 02:20
secondarily, they can record the major points of decision and discussion
for back-and-forth discussion and brainstorming/exploration, I feel like IRC is better suited for that

06:39 stepnem joined
thou hmmm, seems that offline-bootstrap didn't install anything in ~/.perl6, so i'd have to point PERL6LIB at ~/.panda/src/* or some such to get at my modules. FYI, test is simply: rm -rf ~/.perl6 ~/.panda; perl6 bootstrap.pl; perl6 $HOME/.perl6/bin/panda 06:47

[1] officially, there is no "str" type, even if rakudo supports it and niecza plans to
hoelzro are there any known bugs in the regex engine? maybe some that have been fixed since Rakudo * 2012.06? 08:13
I'm making use of a fairly trivial one, but the program locks up when matching
and the problem is *really* hard to duplicate outside of my program
moritz hoelzro: the common cause for infinite loops in the regex engine is quantification of zero-width matches 08:15
hoelzro: if you do <.foo>+ and foo can match zero characters, it loops
08:25 kresike joined
kresike hello all you happy perl6 people 08:25
hoelzro =( 08:31
moritz: the regex is just /^ bot <[:,]>/
and it only triggers when invoked at a certain point in the call stack 08:32
moritz hoelzro: that's very odd
hoelzro moritz: you're telling me =) 08:33
moritz hoelzro: what string or object are you matching on? 08:34
hoelzro moritz: just a string
"yo"
moritz yo, that's weird 08:35
hoelzro indeed 08:36
any recommendations on how to debug this? 08:37
I might try running it with rakudo HEAD when I get home
moritz try to make it reproducable
and give masak++ or me a tarball
and then one of us will try to golf it down 08:38
hoelzro yeah, I'm trying
the problem is it's an XMPP bot
and when I give the bot a "fake" connection that creates the same messages, the regex magically works
moritz oh 08:39
hoelzro: try $str = $str.encode.decode; before matching against $str
hoelzro: it could be some oddity related to internal representation of the string 08:40
hoelzro moritz: thanks, will do

hoelzro: do you get that string from $socket.recv? 08:42
hoelzro moritz: sort of; it was created from JSON parsed from a string from a socket
moritz hoelzro: then it's kinda surprising that the JSON parsing worked, but the regex match didn't :-) 08:43
hoelzro it's really odd
I think I was testing for the lock up wrong on this machine
so now I have to go back and check =/
moritz anyway, the good news is that there's a parrot branch that makes IO a bit more sane
hoelzro I was doing say 'before'; return unless $msg.body =~ /$re/; say 'after' 08:44
ok, cool
moritz the bad news is that it will be merged after this month's parrot release
hoelzro meh, I can wait
moritz so it'll be in rakudo 2012.09
erm, 08

Coleoid I'm looking at roast/TODO and seeing numbers a la r28344, which I cannot find in rt.perl.org... 09:40
Have I gone astray in some part of this, or should this work?
sorear things that match r\d+ are SVN revisions 09:41
Coleoid Ahh...
moritz Coleoid: those notes are probably out of date :( 09:42
they were commits to the synopsis, at the time when the synopsis were still in svn
sorear historically #perl6 has used the Parrot SVN repo, which contained Parrot and Rakudo, and the Pugs repo, which contained *everything else*
moritz (and even before that, the synospis were in their own svn repo somewhere on svn.perl.org) 09:43
Coleoid I recall, wayback, the specs being in pugs, and rakudo being in parrot...
sorear but in the last few years we've 1. split the repos into more managable pieces 2. moved everying onto github
Coleoid So is there a process to resolve these links, 09:44
...to current git change IDs, or are many of these likely to be done already? 09:45
moritz you can do a 'git log' in the specs repo, and search for the SVN revision number (without the leading 'r') 09:46
sorear github.com/perl6/specs/commit/5665...1378e33874
on a lark I checked 'specs' first 09:47
it's there.
moritz but it is unlikely to give you good ideas what to work on
Coleoid Is there a more up-to-date source of test/spec TODOs?
moritz Coleoid: I think currently the best idea is to look at the last few months of spec commits, and check the tests if they have been updated 09:48
Coleoid (Checking...) 09:51
moritz usually I have a huge load of roast tasks in the back of mind 09:52
I'm surprised to find that I can't seem to remember any
Coleoid Please let me know if some return to roost.

because the tickets only mention what the stuff should *not* do

arnsholt I really need to clean up some warnings in nqp_dyncall.ops just too hard to find the errors among all the warnings 10:35
jnthn: Is there an easy way we can stash the stuff created for a callback after it's been created? 10:43
If there isn't, I think we'd be forced to leak some memory for callbacks
Speaking of memory leaks and such, is there a chance that anonymous subs can get GCed? 10:45
jnthn Anonymous subs certainly can get GC'd, yes. 10:46
sorear it depends on how they are created 10:47
jnthn And closures taken of them very certainly can.
sorear anonymous subs created by closure cloning can be GCed
anonymous subs created by the compiler for 'eval' cannot
(don't use eval.)
arnsholt I was thinking of something like this: native-func(sub(int $ival) { say $ival }) 10:48
jnthn Yes, that's at risk.
arnsholt 'k. Hopefully not a big deal, at least initially 10:49
jnthn I mean, if it's called back during the call to native-func it's OK
If the callback is stashed somewhere and invoked by a later native call, that could be more problematic.
arnsholt Indeed. File under "manually managing memory" I suppose 10:50
But the other thing: Is there some place we can easily stash a few pointers of data about a sub? 10:51
jnthn Does dyncallback not give you a way to keep some data around and have it passed back to you when the callback is invoked? 10:52
arnsholt Sure, that's not the problem
jnthn Yeah, userdata 10:53
arnsholt The problem is that we don't know whether a callback will be invoked several times or only once, so it's not safe to free the data in the callback handler
jnthn Ah, I see.
So we'd end up leaking that.
arnsholt Currently we'll allocate a string, a struct and the callback function itself every time a sub is passed as a callback arg
So, depending on the size of the callback function, a few hundred bytes a pop, I guess 10:54
jnthn Well, you can keep an array of pointers to that userdata
Just in a static or something like that. 10:55
And maybe some op to free things up afterwards.
In general, we can't know when it's OK to free it. We'll probably have to provide a way in Zavolaj for the user to give hints. 10:56
arnsholt Yeah, we'll probably want a few toggles to mark the C data in structs and arrays as freeable as well I think 10:58

tadzik it may be a Parrot VTABLE, but I'm not sure

bbkr How can I slurp png image into variable? I added :bin flag to open but slurp tells me "This type cannot unbox to a native string" 11:33
moritz I don't think we do binary slurp yet 11:34
you probably need my $f = open :bin, $filename; my $buf = $f.read(1e32); $f.close or so 11:35
cognominal__ apparently I can pass a compare func :)
bbkr moritz: I need to endode it for transport using Base64, which accepts only string. And binary buf will not decode to Str for the same reason that slurp failed :( 11:37
moritz bbkr: erm, what?
bbkr: how are you calling decode? 11:38
(the obvious fix is to implement base64 encoding on buffers)

tadzik that sounds infuriating 11:54
moritz still the error is LTA
tadzik however you write that
yep
bbkr reports
thanks :)
moritz it should eithe constrain the type to Str, or should coerce to it
tadzik the first thing we ever put into Perl::Critic is checking for things like this 11:55
subcall (foo); "please write me as subcall((foo)) to not confuse everybody"
bbkr everything works now, including slurp and base64 on binary data 12:04
felher I just read that a Hash is a EnumMap. But a EnumMap is supposed to be immutable according to specs, while a Hash isn't. If i create a sub like 'sub some-sub(EnumMap $em) ', i'd expect $em to be immutable. Which it doesn't have to be, because i can put a Hash in it. Is it supposed to be that way? 12:05
Or maybe i got something wrong?
moritz felher: well, the expection that $em will be immutable is simply wrong

that's not how Liskov works 12:06

felher moritz: you're right. That isn't how Liskov works. But i find it to be odd nevertheless. Like if there were a subclass of String in the standard Java library, that is mutable. Well, not that bad, but it may be the same direction. 12:14

felher moritz: okay. What do you think about mentioning it in the EnumMap spec, that Hash is a EnumMap, but not immutable. So that noone comes across EnumMap and thinks it's a good idea to have a class that gets EnumMaps and uses them while relying on them being immutable? 12:30
moritz felher: that's something that belongs in user docs, not in the specs 12:31

sirrobert Apparently .can does not recognize fallback methods set up with .^add_fallback (gist.github.com/3105446). Is that intended? 15:23
jnthn Hmmm 15:25
Lemme see what S12 says on .can
Yeah, it probably should. Looks like NYI. 15:26
.oO( Not that .^add_fallback is in any way spec'd... )
TimToady does that add a method, or a place to look for methods that can be modified after the fact, as CANDO specs 15:27
jnthn TimToady: It's more in CANDO space.
TimToady: It's the guts behind "has $!a handles *;" style wildcarding constructs.
TimToady: Which now seems to have scaped into people's code. :/ 15:28
TimToady ah, good
jnthn Despite me insistently saying "please, do it with handles if you can" :)
*escaped
TimToady I mean, the semantics, not the escape :)
jnthn I'm a bit hazy on CANDO.
TimToady well, maybe it's an eval-class escape valve
jnthn Yeah, I guess. 15:29
Well, I'm a bit hazy on .^can too.
TimToady we should probably look at where it escaped, and why
diakopter scaped indeed
jnthn Well, in at least one case when I enquired the answer was, "oh, I didn't know about handles *"
TimToady the intent of can is to be lazy with respect to fallbacks 15:30
jnthn Do we expect .can to return something you can invoke?
Or something you can iterate that produces things to invoke?
Or both?
15:30 cognominal_ joined
TimToady both is usually nice, except when it isn't... 15:31
jnthn In b we tried to make it both and it got horrible.
In nom I stripped it back to "an iterable thingy"
And haven't heard yelps of surprise
Mostly because it gets used in boolean context.
TimToady iterable is more important than invokable, I suspect
jnthn And "has no elements" is false, as desired. 15:32
TimToady and there's always [0]()
jnthn Well, you can .^find_method if you just want to get something invokable too :)
I guess a related question is, should .+ and .* operate in terms of .^can? 15:33

masak not sure. 18:46
I thought the first arg to .bless wasn't an object so much as an underlying representation. 18:47
jnthn It's a candidate.
masak whether "underlying representation" is what jnthn calls "repr", I don't know.
moritz so, what exactly is a candidate?
jnthn Soemthing that CREATE gave you back
moritz is it an object?
jnthn Normally you pass * there and it calls CREATE for you.
Yes.
moritz so, what kind of object? 18:48
jnthn It just hasn't had any initialization work done yet.
Whatever type you called CREATE on.
moritz so, CREATE is the closer equivalent to p5's bless

p6eval rakudo 74e183: OUTPUT«Any()␤42␤» 18:49

p6eval rakudo 74e183: OUTPUT«A()␤A()␤»
jnthn What do you want to call it? :)
I agree it's different to what Perl 5 does. 18:50
GlitchMr bless is confusing with Perl 5
moritz jnthn: INIT_ATTRIBUTES or so
jnthn moritz: eww, no
moritz also
jnthn moritz: It's what you call in a custom .new
It's quite user facing.
moritz if the candidate is already a proper object, we could just make .bless a method on that object 18:51
jnthn True
moritz then you could write self.CREATE.init(|%attrs) or so
or maybe s/init/INIT/
jnthn It shouldn't be uppercsae since you call it yourself and it isn't magical :)
BUILDALL and BUILD are uppercase 'cus they get called for you and are magical in that sense. 18:52
moritz well, 'bless' is good in the sense that it's unlikely to collide with user-supplied methods 18:53
jnthn Today you can write self.bless(*, |%attrs), which means you don't have to chain methods.
Yes, that too :)
moritz OTOH it's a constant FAQ what that * means, and what you could pass to it instead
jnthn True. You normally don't care to do anything other than the default 18:54

well, it would be *much* easier if array-variable interpolation was supported 19:42
jnthn Yeah. That's tricky to get right.
due to
a | @a | bc
Style things
moritz and especially if we had some API that also gives us the index of the matching array element

jnthn moritz: Is that in S05?

moritz "An interpolated array using junctive semantics is declarative 19:45

jnthn Oh. 19:46
moritz but TimToady++ said that in general there's still LTM between the array elements
jnthn Oh, wait
iiuc 19:47
moritz so a | @b | bc is more like [a | b] || [|@b]
jnthn a | @a | bc /
er
/ a | @a | bc /
I don't think it's saying you don't get LTM semantics even if @a isn't known until runtime
Notice the "external" bit
token x { <y> }; token y { a | @a | bc } 19:48
moritz external = external to the array, in my reading
jnthn Here, it's not be incorporated into x's LTM
Oh, I read it as "external to this rule"

masak but the A.new()(); these is necessary.
which indicates the first line gets run. 20:08
r: use Test; class A {}; (-> &c, $m { CATCH { default { ok 1, $m } } })(A, "")
p6eval rakudo 74e183: OUTPUT«(signal SEGV)»
masak I stand corrected. :)
that explains a lot. the CATCH catches binding errors.
and then the $m never gets bound, because the binder wasn't done!
moritz erm, what?
masak I couldn't have trolled Rakudo better if I had wanted to! :D 20:09
moritz a CATCH block catches... no way
masak yes way.
that's what happens.
moritz I... hope that it's not supposed to catch those.
masak it's so obvious now.
no, I don't think it is.
moritz ah, and that's why I got the null PMC access
masak but I can see why that falls out. I think binding is lexically done inside of the callee. 20:10
moritz r: sub f(&x) { CATCH { default { say "OH NOES" } } }; f 3
p6eval rakudo 74e183: OUTPUT«===SORRY!===␤CHECK FAILED:␤Calling 'f' will never work with argument types (int) (line 1)␤ Expected: :(&x)␤»
jnthn Huh, I thought exception handlers weren't set up until after the binding...
moritz r: sub f(&x) { CATCH { default { say "OH NOES" } } }; f Mu.new
p6eval rakudo 74e183: OUTPUT«OH NOES␤»
moritz that's a short version :-)
masak++ 20:11
masak now without the segv :)
moritz aye
masak crypt++ # found it while hacking around with real code
moritz the rest was probably just necessary to turn a Null PMC Access into a segfault, or so
sorear masak: man 3 crypt? 20:12
moritz sorear: nope, his adventure game
masak I don't know what I was thinking when naming it... 20:13
apparently I wasn't thinking of man 3 crypt. :) 20:14
moritz its setting is a crypt?
masak the innermost room is a crypt, yes.
you haven't played it yet, moritz? :)
20:14 lichtkind joined
moritz masak: no 20:14
jnthn: looking at the generate code, it seems it 1) does a capture_lex 2) sets up the exception handler 3) calls perl6_take_dipatcher 4) declares $_, $/, $! and call_sig and 5) calls bind_signature 20:15
jnthn hah 20:16
Good news: block and exception handlers got a divorce in QAST :)
*blocks
moritz new $P1043, 'ExceptionHandler' 20:17
set_label $P1043, control_1042
$P1043."handle_types_except"(.CONTROL_ALL)
I guess the binder does not generate a CONTROL exception
jnthn Yeah, ain't it f**king wonderful that we have to make a PCC method call to set up an exception handler :/
I...don't think they should be control exceptions. 20:18
Failing to bind is a real exception.
masak don't swear in an RT ticket! :P
moritz thinks so too
jnthn It's that the handler shouldn't be set up at that point.
moritz jnthn: so, that's another GCable just for the call that sets up the exception handler?
jnthn Yeah
moritz would it help if i convinced the parrot folks to provide an op that does it instead? 20:19
jnthn It'd probably be more efficient that way but...dunno how interested I am in opening the exceptions in Parrot can of worms. 20:21
lichtkind jnthn: great grant report 20:22
does it mean we can have widgets soon?
jnthn lichtkind: widgets?
moritz: Provided there was such an op I guess it'd be easy to update the code gen to use it. 20:23

TimToady++ pointed that out a couple of weeks ago :) 21:19
jnthn pmichaud: Yes, moritz++ pointed me at the conversation :)
pmichaud good deal. Yes, that makes arrays a lot easier, although we'll need some dynvars to let us know if a given array is in | or || context
(when the regex is being compiled)

pmichaud they have to have been declared constant at compile-time

[Coke] cannot figure out how to get phenny to respond to help queries. 21:21
