comborico1611 Can someone check out a little program from Think Perl6. 00:56
?
I use slightly unconventional style. But I've double-checked the code, and I'm getting a bazaar output. 00:57
timotimo feel free to upload it and send us the link
comborico1611 You mean on Github?
Hmm. I'll see if I can figure it out realquick.
Thanks! 00:58
timotimo you can just gist it
gist.github.com
doesn't even need a github account
00:59 mniip left 01:00 astj joined
comborico1611 Okay, thanks! 01:01
timotimo if you paste the link with "m: " in front on the channel, camelia will pull the code and run it for us
comborico1611 That's pretty crazy. 01:03

comborico1611 Yup. Same output as my end.
It is suppose to be a picture frame drawing.
timotimo you're calling print-grid before any of the variables have been assigned to 01:06
so you're getting the default value for all of them
comborico1611 Hmm. I didn't think that was an issue. 01:07
timotimo since those are definitions, you may want to use "constant" instead of "my" here
that makes them evaluated at compile time, so they'll have their value immediately
comborico1611 It's just a little sample problem. I just like to keep the "fluff" under "Definitions"
timotimo then you can have the program begin like:
comborico1611 Hmm. Interesting.
timotimo sub MAIN { print-grid( ); }
because the MAIN sub is called for you after the program's body has been run, so all the variables will have their values already 01:08
you can directly edit the gist on the site and put the link in here again to run it a second time 01:09
comborico1611 I see. I learn first on C++, so I think most in that way. 01:14
Let me see if I can find the part in the book that gave me the impression that order of execution wasn't an issue.
01:14 mniip joined, cdg joined
comborico1611 Here it is, "You don't have to create a subroutine before you can run it; the function definition may come after its call:" Is this correct? 01:14
01:14 unicodable6 left, benchable6 left, bloatable6 left, reportable6 left, committable6 left, quotable6 left, jferrero left, huf left, huf joined
geekosaur strictly true. it says nothing about what's *used by* that subroutine though 01:14
01:14 cdg left 01:15 jferrero joined
comborico1611 Something is going over my head. MAIN is main( ), right? 01:15
01:16 statisfiable6 left, nativecallable6 left, releasable6 left, nativecallable6 joined, statisfiable6 joined, releasable6 joined, ChanServ sets mode: +v releasable6
TimToady in C/C++ main() s the first (user-defined) thing that is called; in P6, it runs the whole program, then calls MAIN 01:16
geekosaur no, it is MAIN
like anbything elkse that is auto-called
01:17 unicodable6 joined, ChanServ sets mode: +v unicodable6, committable6 joined, ChanServ sets mode: +v committable6, quotable6 joined, ChanServ sets mode: +v quotable6
comborico1611 I think because the variables are important to the subroutine, therefore they must be declared first. The author is speaking strictly of subroutine calls and their definitions. 01:17
So in P6, main( ) is out of the user's defining, and calls MAIN? 01:18
Regardless, of the MAIN issue. I do believe I understand the main issue. 01:19
TimToady m: constant c = say "constant"; ENTER say "ENTER"; LEAVE say "LEAVE"; say "normal code"; sub MAIN() { say "MAIN" } 01:20
camelia constant
ENTER
normal code
MAIN
LEAVE
geekosaur in perl 6, main() would be a normal user-defined function 01:21
01:21 dct left
comborico1611 Oh no, not the codal explanation again. Hahaha. These tend to lead to more confusion. 01:21
geekosaur *anything* that is called automatically by perl 6 has an all-uppercase name.
comborico1611 OH! I see.
geekosaur this includes MAIN(), which is modeled after the way C/C++/Java use main() 01:22

comborico1611 Well, it works in my terminal. 01:25
TimToady your terminal knows what a newline is :)
comborico1611 I see. Thank you. 01:26
geekosaur so does mine :)
(IRC text handler that inserts an actual newline after the \U+2422) 01:27
TimToady lucky you
01:27 Actualeyes joined
geekosaur and, the actual problem here is that initialization of variables is done at runtime at the script location. so at runtime, it calls print-grid, then *afterward* runs the variable initializations 01:28
running through the script in order
01:28 kerframil joined
comborico1611 So, why is it printing two window-frames? And why is the 2nd one slightly longer on the right side? 01:30
I definitely prefer my code against the author's. lol 01:32
I do see how his is more advanced in capturing and building elements, whereas mine is crap that will only work on simple entries.
Oh. My comment's aren't blocking. #begin #end? Hmm. 01:34

buggable New CPAN upload: App-Assixt-0.1.0.tar.gz by TYIL cpan.metacpan.org/authors/id/T/TY/...1.0.tar.gz 02:08
02:12 kerframil left 02:18 Zoffix joined
Zoffix bdmatatu: that's a deprecation warning. Looks like it's missing the stuff that it's the ":buffer" argument that's deprecated. You need to use ":out-buffer" 02:18
bdmatatu Thanks zoffix -- I was confused since it references src/core/io_operators.pm 02:19
Zoffix Yeah, I think I tested it printed right location only with the method call and forgot about &open. My bad. 02:22
bdmatatu Okay...so somewhere in my code (or its dependencies) there must be a call to &open that is sending :buffer instead of :out-buffer..? 02:23
tyil isn't zef supposed to show a list of the deps it couldnt find here: travis-ci.org/scriptkitties/perl6-...1237#L1317 02:24
Zoffix bdmatatu: yeah
bdmatatu got it, thanks
Zoffix Filed an issue to improve our deprecations as R#1362
synopsebot R#1362 [open]: github.com/rakudo/rakudo/issues/1362 Make Deprecations skip core locations by default
bdmatatu Great 02:26
Zoffix tyil: it should but sometimes it doesn't. When that happened to me, I installed a couple of modules separately and it worked. My wild guess is it's failing to detect deps that are being installed as part of the command or something
Last time it happend it was Cro and IRC::Client that I installed separately and then the rest got installed just fine
tyil if I install Dist::Helper first, the rest installs with `install --deps-only .` 02:28
the only diff from Dist::Helper and the rest is that Dist::Helper is recently uploaded
(tested installs locally after removing ~/.perl6) 02:29

tyil so I added some dd calls in Zef::Client to figure out why its failing to resolve all deps, but has no unresolved deps 10:16
it seems theres 12 entries in @needed, 11 entries in @prereq-candidates 10:17
which makes it fail the dependency resolve
but the grep call on @needed (whose output is stored in @not-found) returns an empty list 10:18
and it tries to output the @not-found list with the error

sumdoc If I try to execute this code in Perl 6 notebook `for 1..6 {say "Hello"}` it shows weird output. 10:27
DrForr What "perl6 notebook" is this? 10:28
sumdoc This is what output I get imgur.com/XOyJLmH
DrForr: This one sumdoc.wordpress.com/2018/01/04/us...in-binder/ 10:29
DrForr Never tried that. Looks though like there might be some wacky side effects from capturing Perl output using Python. 10:32
sumdoc DrForr: OK then I will file an issue with Brian Duggan. May be he will fix it then github.com/bduggan/p6-jupyter-kernel 10:35
It could be issue with the kernel then 10:36
DrForr That's all I can suggest, not having used it. It's interesting that there appears to be one 'hello' then the first line of output, followed by another 'hello' and 2 lines of output, and so on. 10:38

Ulti if you do print "Hello" in the jupyter notebook it gives you more clues 11:57
its concatenating the output per iteration for some reason
and storing it as a list too 11:58
probably a relatively simple bug in the kernel somewhere
oh sumdoc isnt here
I'll take a look later since I've been over this code before 11:59

Ulti I've used audacity to clean up the audio on some P6 talks just so I could listen to them 12:09

DrForr Well, having been dragooned into volunteering for FOSDEM audio a few times I'm amazed anything gets out at al, but it's *not* anything to do with the people, it's amazingly hodgepodge equipment. 12:11
Which isn't a great surprise, given budgets.
Ulti a cheap bluetooth mic on the speaker and a smartphone would be better than most of what I've seen.... it has to be a hodgepodge of 90s era "pro" equipment thats now far worse than any consumer grade stuff 12:13
DrForr Pretty much.
Ulti sounds like ambient mic on a dedicated camera at the back of the room
with someone fiddling with a coin on the same desk the camera is resting on 12:14
DrForr Yep. I think they miked the speakers last year but the audio went walkabout.
Ulti :Z
maybe we can have a whip around? 12:15

jast to be honest, I'm not entirely sure how this is related to the issue you linked to. I don't see anything involving warnings going on there. 14:32
DrForr If you're treating the string as something that just goes into a 'perl6 -e' block, then the warning you're getting is perfetly understandable.
bduggan's reply makes sense to me. I think what he's saying is $*OUT isn't being captured correctly, it's actually the return from the print() statement, *not* the output text on STDOUT. 14:34
Does that help? 14:35
14:37 domidumont joined
DrForr So when it goes to the jupyter console, you get the $*OUT stream of 'hello'..'hello' that you expect *and* the return result from print(), which you *don't*. 14:37

I just learned something important. This is a no-no: do-four-times( &print-bottomless-grid( ) ); 16:30
I'm just use to referring to functions with the ( ).
I prefer the extra reminder of the ( ) to notify me that I'm dealing with functions.
( ) bit me on Parrot. And now () bites me on Rakudo. Heh. 16:31
moritz in Perl 6, () is (nearly) always an invocation 16:33
(as a postfix, that is)

Improve the $! section.

Explain that $! holds the exception, with link to the documentation(s). Provide a simple snippet to introduce the usage of $! as an object.
comborico1611 I see.
If you aren't busy, could you explain what is going on with the sub here: 16:37
sub say-four-times( $value ) { do-four-times( sub {say $value} );
(2nd sub)
moritz well, there appears to be a sub do-four-times, to which you can pass another subroutine, and it calls that passed subroutine four times 16:38
so now you declare a subroutine say-four-times with an argument $value 16:39
and it doesn't do the looping itself, it calls the do-four-times function to do the actual looping
and it creates an anonymous function that prints $value, and passes that to do-four-times 16:40
comborico1611 so "sub" is a declaring a parameter for an argument that is a function?
moritz no 16:41
"sub" declares a function, and also returns it
you can use it anywhere that a value is expected
comborico1611 sub is declaring the anonymous function?
moritz yes
comborico1611 Hmm. I'll meditate on that. I'll even put your words in a comment of the program for reviewing later. Thanks! 16:42
moritz you're welcome 16:43
16:45 scimon left
comborico1611 Correction: You called $value an argument when it is actually a parameter. 16:46
Geth doc: 8effa8516a | (Luca Ferrari)++ | doc/Language/exceptions.pod6
Small changes to exception introduction paragraph.

Specify a little better what an exception object is and which kind of information it can handle.		 16:47
synopsebot Link: doc.perl6.org/language/exceptions
comborico1611 Moritz, so it is the "sub" part that enables do-four-times to pass another subroutine? 16:48
moritz it's say-four-times that passes a subroutine to another subroutine 16:50
comborico1611 Is "sub" being used to return anything here? I know you can't see the other function, but just guessing. 16:53
moritz the declaration that starts with "sub" returns the function it declares 16:54
16:54 khw joined
moritz but that's orthogonal to whether any of the functions involved return anything 16:54
comborico1611 Okay. Thank you for your time. Something isn't quite making sense. But I understand more than when I started. Lunch time! 16:56

BenGoldberg Now this is just strange, why does the output of dd come before and after like that?
timotimo dd uses stderr, while say goes to stdout 20:23
i believe the bot doesn't synchronize that properly
jnthn dd outputs to stderr, there's output buffering when the output isn't a tty, and the thing that collects the output isn't a tty, so it sees the effects of the buffering
20:26 comborico1611 joined
BenGoldberg wonders if it would be worth someone's time to set up a pty, or alternatively have the eval-ing subprocess deliberately turn buffering off. 20:27
comborico1611 I'm confused by Rakudo tarball instruction. I believe I need --prefix in "perl Configure" command, but I'm confused by the value for --prefix. 20:28
moritz where do you want rakudo to be installed?
comborico1611 i guess /opt/perl6 20:29
moritz then you need to run perl Configure.pl --prefix=/opt/perl6
comborico1611 Whenever i can get system-wide PATH
moritz and of course, you need to make /opt/perl6 writable for the current user 20:30
comborico1611 Sudo
And this will give me PATH?
The guys in the instructions used --prefix=$INSTDIR. Super confusing. 20:31
moritz this will install rakudo in /opt/perl6, so /opt/perl6/bin/perl6 20:33
comborico1611 That is what
BenGoldberg m: my &lfsr = BEGIN { my uint $state = 1; sub { my uint $xor = ($state +& 1) ?? 0x800000000000000D !! 0; $state +>= 1; $state +^= $xor; $xor ?? 1 !! 0 } }; my &goldbb = BEGIN { my uint ($zeros, $ones); sub { my uint ($b, $mask); repeat { $b = lfsr; $b ?? ++$ones !! ++$zeros; $mask = $ones +& $zeros; } until $mask; $ones -= $mask; $zeros -= $mask; $b } }; print goldbb for ^100;
camelia Cannot invoke this object (REPR: Uninstantiable; Callable)
in sub at <tmp> line 1
in block <unit> at <tmp> line 1
moritz so you need to add PATH=$PATH:/opt/perl6/bin or so to /etc/profile or something else that is read at startup 20:34
comborico1611 The address i use to assign into PATH?
moritz comborico1611: I don't understand your question
comborico1611 Okay. I'll try it! 20:35
You answered it.
Thank you!
That command will look /perl6/bin to etc/profile ? 20:36
Look = link
moritz no 20:38
comborico1611 Is there another step after PATH= ?
20:39 novalinium left
moritz you might need to login again for the new PATH to take hold 20:40
or start a new login shell, with "bash -n"

geekosaur (note that "my $days, $hours" parses as "((my $days), $hours) = 22:16
which is actually sensible in a number of cases, and lets you deconstruct e.g. a list while declaring on the fly any variables that weren't already. this is not all that unusual in perl 5 code, for example 22:17
therefore probably also in existing perl 6 code

geekosaur I would file that as a rakudobug, btw. include the [LTA] tag in the subject. 23:40
comborico I don't know how. 23:41
geekosaur if nothing else, it should not be talking about unit scope without an explicit "unit" declaration. (that's a holdover from before it was decided to add "unit", because of conflicts between unit scope and forward references)

or some such
comborico [LTA] Vague error message: Semi-colon at end of header in a subroutine definition 23:51
I guess LTA handles the vagueness part.
geekosaur it's not vague, it's just meaningless if you don't know both the current implementation of rakudo sub declarations and the history behind them 23:54
