[Coke] FROGGS: I think the typo is intentional. "this user knows so little about perl they misspell it" 12:48
sorry, I meant PERL, of course.
That's a shibboleth for me when looking at resumes. we don't perl here, but I don't want people who claim to have PERL'ed.
FROGGS yeah, that might be true 12:49

Ven [Coke]: might be, yeah
[Coke] Ven: I loved that quote!
also, if you speak haskell, do you want to try to get pugs back up on crutches?
Ven [Coke]: I'm not sure it's even kinda up-to-date enough for it not to blow up with recent ghc updates 12:52
also, I'm not smart enough
Ven notes - that looks like a really neat project to have, though ... 12:54
[Coke] ven - if you speak haskell, you're already a step ahead of me. 12:55
let me grab a snapshot of what the issue looks like here.

FROGGS Ven: I tried to fix a bug in pugs like two months ago, and I was able to build it but was not able to fix the bug 13:01
13:05 daniel-s_ left
Ven FROGGS: well, I'm just waiting for the day to end anyway, do you remember what the bug was ? 13:05
FROGGS ohh, now I remember...
it wasn't even a bug, I wanted to change sub "eval" to "EVAL"
but [Coke] has the problem that his pugs installation does not run the spectests... 13:06
so I dunno what is the problem there
13:06 iolympian joined, iolympian left
Ven FROGGS: you mean it refuses to *run* the spectests themselves? 13:07

no, it runs them, they just nearly all fail.

Woodi hmm, probably not if you ask Woodi :) 14:09
FROGGS Woodi: why not?
ascent_ what's in Poznan in May?
retupmoca on rakudo-moar, $?FILE is a relative path. Is there a way to get the absolute path to the current file? 14:10
FROGGS ascent_: the polish perl workshop
retupmoca IO::Path.absolute just gets me $*CWD ~ $?FILE
Woodi I didn't know that
14:10 jnap joined
Woodi now I will try to mess a bit there :) 14:10
jnthn hasn't been to Poznan before. :) 14:11
FROGGS me neither :o)
I was in Poland once but just because I was driving wrongish
Woodi heh :) 14:12

FROGGS dunno what that does in a .pm though
jnthn Same; it's about the original program 14:15
FROGGS it perhaps gives you still the script that invoked it
jnthn Is there a %*INC for "hwere did modules we used come from"?
FROGGS if we had CompUnitRepos in nom you could query that :o)
14:15 treehug88 joined
retupmoca if we had $?RESOURCES in nom/panda master I could use that instead :) 14:16
jnthn FROGGS: How far off are having CompUnitRepos in nom? :) 14:18
retupmoca yeah, it looks like $*PROGRAM_NAME just gives the .pl file 14:19
even when used in a .pm
jnthn $* means dynamically coped
*scoped
retupmoca yeah, that's what I expected
jnthn So not so surprising.
FROGGS jnthn: we would need to discuss its "design" 14:21
and then do some testing, but there is not that much left to do for it 14:22

FROGGS Woodi: it does not use panda, no

that tarball I created will not build rakudo, because of an outdated MANIFEST :/ 14:47

retupmoca timotimo: github.com/retupmoca/P6-Auth-PAM-Simple for usage example 18:48
(needs a NativeCall patch to actually install that library, though) 18:49
timotimo oh cool, pam authentication 18:50
hm, would we need one module for each PAM method, like fingerprint, smartcard, ldap, ... ? 18:51
18:51 hoverboard left
retupmoca well, Auth::PAM::Simple has an arg for the pam service to auth against 18:51
but honestly I have only a vaguely understand PAM. I just copy-pasted some C code so I could auth against the 'login' service 18:52
s/have only a/only/
timotimo oh, i didn't know you could re-route the library name of a sub at run-time 18:54
that's cool
retupmoca timotimo: that's a NativeCall PR I have up
doesn't work with HEAD yet
timotimo ah 18:55
yeah, i like that
retupmoca and after the PR is merged, doing &sub.libname = '...'; after you call it won't do anything
because the library has already been loaded
but this is my plan for fixing Imlib2 18:56
18:58 FOAD left
timotimo fair enough 19:00
how exactly does it have to be fixed?
retupmoca need to remove the existing Makefile and Build.pm and replace it with stuff that uses LibraryMake 19:01
then just need to add code to find the native library like Auth::PAM::Simple uses 19:02
there could be issues with the module itself, but this will get the native library compiled and loaded anyway
which is where it's breaking right now
timotimo well, i'm very glad you've created this 19:03
retupmoca LibraryMake.pm6 needs a couple of patches for parrot and JVM if you want to help (I'm not sure how to get the config for '-l' for them) 19:04
19:04 sqirrel joined
timotimo i haven't looked at that part of the whole thing yet :( 19:04
retupmoca for moar it's $*VM<config><ldusr>, and then strip out the %s
timotimo other than "inspect $*VM<config>", no clue
retupmoca gotcha
I may have to actually install rakudo-j and -p then
timotimo fortunately it's easy :) 19:05

FROGGS retupmoca: I think so
retupmoca well then, somebody needs to hurry up and implement that :P
lizmat I would assume a "resource" directory in the -I directory should work in that case
jnthn Well, I think in general we want to have a way to provide a mechanism to resolve a library 19:58
FROGGS because we then do our best to gather the information that would be collection during installation
so, if you had a META6.json we might consider it
lizmat I guess that makes sense, no?
FROGGS I think so, but my brane is somewhere else atm 19:59
lizmat you would only have a %?RESOURCE from an -I directory if there is a META6.json file in there that specifies it
I think that would make a lot of sense :-)

FROGGS yes

FROGGS gnight lizmat 20:05
jnthn o/ lizmat
retupmoca hmm, %?RESOURCE will probably have the same issue as currently though - at compile time the path will be different than run time
FROGGS retupmoca: %?RESOURCE will be made up when we load a module I think 20:06
and at that time we know its "path"
if it actually has a path, it can live in a database in theory
retupmoca FROGGS: right, but that will happen after the is native('...') path is compiled and set
FROGGS hmmm 20:07
damn
yeah
then you want to install compiled libs?
retupmoca yes - I'm using Build.pm to compile a library and put it into the lib directory
FROGGS and compile at the target location or so?
retupmoca when you do a panda install 20:08
but so far I haven't found a good way to find and load that library. I can find it at runtime, but NativeCall needs it at compile time right now
so I think it needs some kind of solution in NativeCall.pm6 - and I will defer to jnthn on the best way to do that 20:09
arnsholtAtHome retupmoca: Maybe a bit of a hack, but have you tried just doing "trait_mod:<is>(&my-sub, :native($libname))" at runtime? I think that should work 20:11
jnthn I'd like a solution that lets us get rid of the need to put the library name into "is native" every time also 20:12
arnsholtAtHome There is that too, though
retupmoca arnsholtAtHome: I haven't tried that. It would probably work, but I would rather figure out a "proper" way to do it 20:13
arnsholtAtHome I've been pondering maybe something like "module Library::Internals is native<libname>", but I'm not sure how feasible that is
20:13 denis_boyun joined
jnthn Well, I was wondering about something like 20:13
arnsholtAtHome Yeah, a proper way would be great too. But if that works you can keep on hacking and plop in the right way once we know what the right way is =)
jnthn sub res() is native_lib_resolver { return 'foo'; }
And then sub blah() is native { * } 20:14
And it'll use the resolver.
But needs some care over scoping.
arnsholtAtHome Yeah, that sounds neat
And maybe allow for sub res(&the-sub) { ... } as well? 20:15
jnthn And then you can write whatever code you want in there
20:15 kurahaupo left
arnsholtAtHome Yeah, I like that idea 20:15
retupmoca much cleaner than the current solution 20:16
+1 as long as it's runtime :P

arnsholtAtHome FROGGS: Won't work with current Zavolaj 20:17
FROGGS arnsholt: I know :o)
I just wanted to see how it explodes
if we wanna allow callables in that trait, it should perhaps get either the subname or the sub object as an argument 20:18
jnthn That would be another way 20:19
arnsholtAtHome That's not as useful though, since traits are applied at compile-time, not run-time
jnthn then you could
sub &imlib() { ... }
sub foo is native(&imlib) { * }
And it'd just stash a reference to the sub
and call it on first invocation 20:20
arnsholtAtHome Right. That'd work, of course

i see
rurban did you see fperrad's secret nqp already? github.com/fperrad/tvmjit/tree/master/t/nqp 22:29
22:30 mmachenry left
[Coke] i don't see any info about what kind of nqp that is. 22:33
rurban it written in tvmjit
it's written in tvmjit
and used by github.com/richardhundt/shine (which is nice) 22:34
timotimo secret nap? mhhh 22:36
rurban This is the src for his nqp: github.com/fperrad/tvmjit/blob/mas...mpiler.lua 22:40
timotimo suddenly a bunch of lisp
[Coke] I wonder if it's like parrot/nqp, perl6/nqp, one of the other nqps, or a new nqp. (in terms of what he's trying to support)
rurban yes, tvmjit is featuring a proper s-expr language :)
I guess it's his parrot project 22:41
[Coke] if perl6/nqp, I wonder how much effort it would be to add it as a backend.

raiph lue: comments added to your s32::Str gist 23:33
almost all nitpicky; main thing is confusion about your use of the word "codepoints" 23:34
lue raiph: codepoint is specifically a unicode codepoint; there should be no confusion with that term. 23:35
raiph that's what i thought, but i don't think your spec achieves that
lue well, it's not in isolation. S15 is the actual Unicode spec :) . 23:36
(besides, since NFG-only graphemes don't have codepoints, they don't count as one. I honestly don't see where confusion can arise.) 23:37
raiph Maybe you'll see what I mean when you've read the gist comment. If not, ping me again. 23:39
lue I've read through the whole thing; I still don't see how one could confuse "codepoints" to refer to things that don't have codepoint numbers (that is, NFG graphemes). 23:40
raiph k, let me try explain what's bugging me
"C< Unicodey> operates on the codepoint level as its view of what a character is. It doesn't enforce any particular Normalization Form on its contents."
first, are you counting NFG as a Normalization Form? 23:41
lue on the enforcement statement, yes.
(NFG isn't enforced any more than NFC or NFKD)
raiph so one could have something that does Unicodey that's in NFG? 23:42
and then do .chars on it 23:43
which will give a count of the graphemes
but your statement says Unicodey operates on the codepoint level as its view of what a character is
lue Ah, I think I see now. NFG is meant to be a specialization of Unicodey, so only Str would deal with NFG stuff.
s/Unicodey/Unicode/ 23:44
raiph or, tc: "Returns a string with each codepoint lowercased." 23:45
lue Unicodey and Uni are basically the same thing, fwiw.
tc shouldn't say that.
raiph but what if one is working at the NFG level?
I think it ought to say chars where you've got codepoints
(for tc and cousins)
23:46 stevan_ joined
lue Well no, for Unicodey "codepoints" is the correct term. I didn't think I'd have to restate every method on C<Str> to specify that it operates on graphemes in that class :( 23:46
[Coke] if it's universal, hoist it out and put it at the top. 23:47
said the guy who hasn't read the doc or the gist.

raiph lue: aiui tc and cousins work on "characters", not codepoints; if a string is NFG that'll be graphemes, if NFC it'll be codepoints, and so on. 23:49
lue raiph: yes, but the Unicodey role operates on codepoints. Only Str handles NFG graphemes. Those method definitions are attached the Unicodey role. Thus they are described as operating on "codepoints". 23:50
raiph gotchya, so Unicodey explicitly does not include NFG, right? 23:51
lue (note how Stringy's definition of .tc doesn't mention "title case", but rather "upper case", because ASCII has no notion of "title case". Stringy's method definitions don't try to generalize for all things that may do it; neither does Unicodey.)
raiph: yes, Unicodey is meant to be a Unicode-based role, so adding a non-Unicode extension to it is less-than-ideal. 23:52
raiph lue: gotchya 23:54
lue IIRC S15 explains all this already, and I tried to not re-explain things here (esp. stuff that doesn't really fit S32's purpose of laying out the API).
printf, pack, and unpack need expansion, I'll get to those later :) . 23:55
btw, I don't index and rindex have any RTL concerns; RTL text *looks* like it's going in the reverse direction, but the start of text is still at the left side in storage. 23:58
raiph lue: k 23:59
