Set by moritz on 22 December 2015.
lucasb Most subs and methods in core P6 doesn't have a explicit return type constraint. But we all expect them to return sensible values. I'm not talking about return values in this .subst-mutate case. I'm talking about its side-effects: should it coerce the type of the subject to string or not. 00:01
RabidGravy timotimo, it just hits nanosleep and doesn't return 00:02
Rotwang RabidGravy: my last attempt: puts 00:03
: use NativeCall; sub puts(Str) is native returns int32 { * }; await start { puts("dupa") } xx 15
m: use NativeCall; sub puts(Str) is native returns int32 { * }; await start { puts("dupa") } xx 15
camelia rakudo-moar e95c62: OUTPUT«(signal SEGV)»
Rotwang if it doesn't convince you, nothing will [:
but, even if the function isn't thread safe, rakudo shouldn't crash 00:04
RabidGravy Rotwang, "const char *" argument
flussence that one works locally
Rotwang RabidGravy: so what?
RabidGravy: whats wrong with const cahr? 00:05
RabidGravy: you can't disagree with it, posix defines it as thread safe
it doesn't mess the internal rakudo loop
it just print to stodut
RabidGravy and it works fine here strangely
Rotwang and const char is a string in c
RabidGravy: try with more promises
many times
you'll hit it at some point 00:06
flussence I tried xx 3000
Skarsnik did you gdb where it crash?
Rotwang Skarsnik: I have a coredump
it is 300MB [;
Skarsnik Well good night, time to read/write ponies x) 00:07
00:07 uruwi left
RabidGravy woah, I do have a real genuine, non-threadsafe thing right in Rakudo though 00:08
flussence tried xx 999_999 too, just to be sure. oddly it's only using half my cores
eating quite a lot of RAM though... 00:09

RabidGravy now that my friends is a genuine, incontrovertible bug in rakudo without any dodgy native call antics required 00:11

RabidGravy It should really adjust itself somehow 00:12
may even be 8 by default
Skarsnik damn the explicitmanaged role is private in nc x) 00:13
RabidGravy but I'm going to RT that one as that is quite scary 00:14
timotimo RabidGravy: "doesn't return" is something with a very special meaning; is thatr eally what you meant? 00:15
RabidGravy yes
straced it
it doesn't return from nanosleep
timotimo in that case it can really mess with moarvm; but why wouldn't it return?
00:16 llfourn left
RabidGravy nanosleep may block the whole process not just the thread for instance 00:17
Skarsnik wtf is explicitly-manage
why does is create a new type
RabidGravy I'm not in the mood to look in the Linux kernel to find out how nanosleep works 00:18
flussence RabidGravy: doesn't return ever?
00:19 nzkindest left
RabidGravy well, greater than 100 times longer than I asked it to sleep 00:19
flussence ouch
RabidGravy I got bored after that
leont nanosleep shouldn't other threads, really
*sleep
timotimo shouldn't other threads? :) 00:20
RabidGravy yeah, you wouldn't have thought so
00:21 nzkindest joined, user74747 left 00:22 Skarsnik left
orbus stumbling into the middle of a conversation, but the manpage in ubuntu says nanosleep should only make the current thread sleep 00:23
it uses the term "calling thread" several times
actually I guess it only *implies* it should only make the calling thread sleep 00:24
it doesn't really say anything about its effect on other threads :p
RabidGravy yeah, it's surprising, but that's definitely what I'm seeing 00:25

orbus m: say $*KERNEL 00:28
camelia rakudo-moar e95c62: OUTPUT«linux (3.16.6.2.default)␤»
orbus hrm, camelia has a newer kernel than me, so if it's a kernel bug it's not a new one
I was able to reproduce your failed test on freebsd, for whatever that's worth 00:30
same error
actually that's on a single core vm so if it's a concurrency problem I'm not sure I'd expect it to show up there 00:31
unless the vm layer is doing something funny behind the scenes
RabidGravy no the kernel I have is even more recent 00:33
orbus it does it on freebsd too, so it's not just linux
orbus afks 00:37
RabidGravy yeah, it's in moarvm/libuv/pthread
flussence there was a bug with early versions of promises where the perl6-land sleep() would block every thread too, wonder if it's the same bug
RabidGravy entirely possible 00:38
00:39 TimToady left
RabidGravy I've RT'd the explicitly-manage thing as rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=127145 00:39

timotimo RabidGravy: camelia actually runs on a computer with 8 cores or so 00:42
Juerd m: my uint $a = 255; say ++$a;

Juerd Is ++$a in sink context implemented differently? 00:43
timotimo Juerd: i'm a bit surprised because ++ is implemented in terms of $foo = $foo + 1
oh
oh, yeah, timtoady put something in the optimizer for that
RabidGravy timotimo, but with a ulimit on memory/threads or whatever? There does seem to be a hard constraint that I don't see here 00:44
00:44 pkr joined
timotimo don't know about that 00:44
RabidGravy TBH I wouldn't take camelia as gospel on stuff like this anyway 00:45
pkr Good morning!
RabidGravy oops so it is
pkr Is this the right channel for a question regarding panda installer? 00:46
gfldex it is
timotimo that's right 00:47
i meant that as an answer to RabidGravy talking about camelia, but it also fits as an answer for the other thing 00:48
pkr I am just experimenting with it and wanted to find a remove option. Did not find one. Is there a way to remove a module not only from disk but also from the database list?
RabidGravy not currently
pkr After removing I would like to see only the name without status "Installed". 00:49
Juerd How do you run a test file manually, in a way that skips the "#?rakudo skip" things?
skids perl6 testfile.t
Juerd skids: That doesn't skip that thing
skids Not if you run the unfudged file
RabidGravy you need to run the test fudging thing
skids Oh you want to skip, sorry 00:50
Juerd Where do I find that, or documentation about it?
pkr I have installed Net::Curl but want to use the option --path in order to install it in /opt/rakudobrew all together wit perl6.
skids fudgeall rakudo file.t
(or rakudo.moar or something)
RabidGravy right, way past my bed-time, mouse and pumpkin already legged it
have fun 00:51
skids fudgeall is in roast which is c/o'ed in t/spec and it is in the base dir.

troydm is there a POE for p6? 02:47
02:47 ilbot3 joined 02:48 Guest26508 left
awwaiid troydm: there is a built-in event system using whenever blocks. Pretty different approach than POE though, I think. Room for contributions. 02:50
skids troydm: Perl 6 has it's own concurrency stuff built in. You can graft other event systems in using it.
02:51 kaare_ left
sammers good morning from Japan... question about modules... 02:51
troydm awwaiid: ic, okey
awwaiid How can I slurp ALL the arguments of a sub? I feel like sub foo(**@args){...} is supposed to do it, maybe I'm not using it right. I call foo(:x) and it doesn't do what I expect 02:52
troydm I haven't studied p6 concurrency yet,, i guess i'll take a closer look
skids awwaiid: sub foo(|c) { } will get a capture including nameds
sammers what are the advantages of using `unit module Foo::Bar` vs `class Foo::Bar {...}` when creating a module?
awwaiid skids: ok, I'll look into that 02:53
skids sammers: personally, I think just indenting. But it might help the compiler improve error messages too. 02:54
sammers to use Class?
skids No to use unit
sammers also, is there a way to include a local module using the full path?
ok
skids Oh, you would use "unit class"
sammers ah
skids module versus class is a different matter
sammers ok
02:56 kid51 left
gfldex sammers: you may want to have operators defined outside of the class, if you can't define a namespace that ain't class, where would you do that? 02:57
sammers ok, this is probably a dumb question, in regards to p6 being multi-paradigm "Perl 6 offers procedural, object-oriented AND functional programming methodologies." are there any examples of a module being completely written fp? 02:58
gfldex sammers: there may also be constants and other stuff you may want to export, that don't belong into a class
sammers: i have one that is nearly written FP, would that help? 02:59
sammers gfldex: that was going to be my next question
gfldex, that would be great.
I just want to compare these paradigms in p6...
gfldex github.com/gfldex/pod-to-bigpage/b...igPage.pm6
i pulled the counter out into a class because functional counting with concurrency is beyond my brains capabilities 03:00
awwaiid skids: interesitng. so if I do foo(|c) and then mess with c, I can either c.list or c.hash. I'd love to be able to call foo(:a, 5, 2, :zoo) and get those params as-is
gfldex sammers: also, that module got two entry points, depending on how you use it, see the README.md 03:01
03:02 SwellJoe joined
skids awwaiid: when inside .() named order is not preserved and duplicae names will cancel previous names. That's just the calling convention. If you need to work outside it you need to pass an array at the top level instead, or find some way to do something slangy. 03:02
03:03 vendethiel left
awwaiid skids: ok, thanks. I'm trying to do something slightly devious anyway, so that makes sense. I'm trying to pretend that a :foo pair is a ruby symbol, so I can do '[2, 4, 6, 8]':rb.push([:foo]).to_s and get "[2, 4, 6, 8, :foo]" back from ruby. Well -- I want to do .push(:foo) instead of .push([:foo]), that is. 03:04
skids awwaiid: Pair.new might work. 03:06
03:06 bpetering left
sammers gfldex: thanks for sharing this, so as modules go we don't need to declare that it is a module anywhere, `unit class` works as well? 03:07
03:07 noganex_ joined
skids class is a module is a package. 03:07
gfldex there is a class called BigPage around everything, what is a requirement for a POD renderer that is supposed to work together with rakudo 03:08
rakudo will do the parsing and then call render with the POD::* tree
03:09 noganex left
sammers ah, ok, so if there is a module tree already available, in this case POD::, you can create a branch under it using the same namespace... 03:12
does that work for any module tree? or only core?
gfldex any
sammers ok 03:13
is it ok to do `unit module Foo::Bar` for everything? without class? then just put all of the subs in the same file, then have other files that represent other branches? (Foo::Bar::Something, Foo::Bar::SomethingElse) without using class anywhere? 03:14
gfldex that will work 03:15
sammers is there any downside to doing it that way?
I guess what I am asking, is using `class` really just for convention? 03:16
03:16 colomon joined, psy_ left
gfldex a class is not just a namespace and it's getting a little late to name all properties of class on IRC 03:17
sammers yeah, understood.
skids sammers: class is where all the OO paradigm gets pulled in. With just a module, all you have is subs.
no instances, no methods, no inheritance, no roles. 03:18

sammers ok, regarding packaging, to do a fp module and package subroutines in separate files, you just create each file as its own module in the same namespace? 03:57
or for that matter, a strictly prcedural paradigm module. 04:00
skids m: package foo { sub a is export { 42.say } }; package foo { sub b is export { 43.say } }; import foo; a(); b(); # Yeah looks like that might work 04:02

I am really just asking out of curiosity... is there a way to include a local file using full file path? 04:04
Zoffix Are we able to change keywords? Like to rename `sub` to `λ` ?
sammers I want to see how to go about doing each of these paradigms in p6 before mixing or before just juming in OOP like most modules I have seen. 04:05

Add a :&where parameter to control how where clauses are gistperled

   If this returns Nil, the whole gistperl returns Nil, which can be
   used to detect where clauses when you want them to matter, such as
   in the metamodel Signature comparator to prevent false conflicts.
   Do so, fixing RT#127024 and RT#127025.
   Whether Signature eqv Signature should be changed to do this as

AlexDaniel Ulti: what? system is ‘shell’? 09:14
Ulti and that was after I already knew PHP, Java, C and JavaScript quite well... all those "modern" languages people are flocking to "nowadays"
AlexDaniel *shrug* think so
AlexDaniel if you call it with one long stringy arg then yeah
but otherwise not really
the thing is, system() is kinda supposed to run a program and pass some args to it, all that without using a shell 09:15
now, for whatever reason somebody made system() “smart” so that if you put everything into one long string (not multiple args) then it will do that through shell
Ulti system prefixes 'sh' ?
AlexDaniel so, perl5 ｢system｣ is more like ｢run｣ when you call it with multiple args 09:16
Ulti or at least used to before all the bash uproar a year and a bit ago, right?
AlexDaniel prefixes 'sh'? What does that mean? 09:17
09:17 justine_o left
Ulti as in runs via the shell 09:18
sh -c or whatever it is
AlexDaniel well it doesn't prefix it, it perhaps runs 'sh' and passes your string as an argument after '-c', yeah 09:19

arnsholt Opportunity cost is a good argument
And from my experiences working with Parrot vs. JVM/Moar, it's not gonna be easy to find someone who actually *wants* to do it
masak arnsholt: though the MoarVM case shows that sometimes it's a bet that pays off.
arnsholt Yeah, opportunity cost is definitely a hard argument 09:38
cxreg well, plus the never-aligned goals was a mood killer
arnsholt Very hard to predict the future dividends from two different options
cxreg but it was hard to align goals when perl 6 kept moving the goalposts?
could very well be that it's an easier discussion with p6.c 09:39
El_Che masak: ah. I took you for the panda author. Sowry :)
moritz cxreg: well, parrots goal were "support all dynamic languages, somehow" for a long time

moritz cxreg: so even if Perl 6 hadn't been a moving target, there wasn't much room for goal alignment
09:40 cognominal left
cxreg maybe the question is, is that still a worthy goal 09:40
possibly no since "all the dynamic languages" aren't the hotness they were 10 years ago 09:41
moritz also "all the dynamic languages" didn't give a good guide for what to do 09:42
cxreg allison is quite sure it directly influenced microsoft
donno if she's right or not
maybe Sun/Oracle too? 09:43
masak ISTR an article Allison wrote about "we succeeded, because we influenced other players" 09:44
cxreg yeah, and i talked to her irl about it too
masak I definitely don't want to rob her (or the Parrot people) of that definition of success
...so I'll say no more about it.
cxreg that's all that smalltalk people can claim (oh snap) 09:45

cxreg do you think it would make sense to have a trait that you have to declare, lest the compiler give you grief if you share a variable across multiple threads? 09:53
pmurias graal/truffle on the jvm seems to be the current iteration of the "support all dynamic languages" goal
cxreg or something like that anyway?

10:00 pmurias joined
timotimo yeah, it's probably a bit surprising that it closed over the value without explicit curlies involved 10:00
but if there were no implicit curlies there, your code wouldn't have multi-threaded period 10:01

except more complex 10:02

_mg_ Hello all. Will there be a rakudo-star release for 2015.12?
cxreg well, in this case it was a loop variable
timotimo _mg_: we've got a developer working on it
_mg_ timotimo: ok thanks 10:04
cxreg maybe that could be noticed
timotimo cxreg: loop doesn't necessarily mean you've got an int or something simple like that
but still ... yeah
in this case i'm really not sure
cxreg my $outer-whatever is intended-to-be-shared; # :) 10:05
but i guess you don't always know what you'll do
timotimo that's right 10:06
cxreg sure would be nice to have a noob mode that puts more guard rails on than an advanced user would want
timotimo "no noob" would be the new "use stict", eh?
cxreg heh.
could even be opt-in. is there a pluggable warnings / strictures system at all? 10:07
timotimo i was wondering why your code was starting at $i = 2, btw
was there a reason to be skipping the first Channel?
nine FROGGS: what rakudo version will star use?
FROGGS nine: 2015.12
cxreg it was not my code, it was jeek's. not exactly sure.
FROGGS nine: or was there a point release?
timotimo probably an accident? expecting lua-style array indices? 10:08
FROGGS: i don't think there was one yet. but there really should be, IMO
we have reasons to have one, at least
nine FROGGS: I really think we should do a point release first to include it in star. 2015.12 was...not that usable :/
FROGGS nine: sounds good to me
timotimo moarvm doesn't have commits critical to users, IMO 10:09
so we can at least skip that part of the release process without upsetting things too much 10:10
all nqp got was using \0 in char classes
and of course pmurias' tests and js implementations of ops
moritz so, start a release branch that sets NQP_REVISION back to 2015.12? 10:12
cxreg nine: did you ever see IPFS? 10:13
it occurs to me that you might find it interesting / relevant

cxreg nine: cool i'll look deeper at how curi works
masak doesn't Docker use something like that, too?
cxreg the general concept is "merkle trees" 10:35
the idea of using it as a global content distribution mechanism is nifty, the guy gave a good talk that i saw.
well, "global". lol. he imagines using it across light-hours.
timotimo the one at the congress?
hm, actually, i think that was just the lightning talk introducing it 10:36
nine The advantage of all those hashes compared to previous suggestions is that the repository's state is solely represented by the presense of files, not their contents. This means that a distribution package can just copy files and those file names should never conflict.
arnsholt FROGGS: Had to blow away the whole install/ dir, but that did the trick. Cheers!

lizmat second batch of moving stuff from S99 to doc/glossary
timotimo oh, OK :)

lizmat trying to read newbieish documentation
ah, no, I want to do an editorial review on the S99 entries before entering them into the doc/glossary

masak .oO( *REGEX* )
lizmat perhaps moritz is already aware of it, because it may be part of bigger problem at his $work ? 10:57
masak possibly. if he's back to $work already.
lizmat anyways, it seems that not having a Perl 6.0 out there, is *mighty* confusing to a *lot* of people 11:00
so I was thinking: why not name the next Rakudo * 6.0
timotimo it seems we now have a little bug fixed in nqp::join with regards to GC, so we may want to actually release a 2015.12.1 of moarvm
nine lizmat: which would be technically highly incorrect but could actually be helpful :) 11:01
lizmat it's all about marketing in this respect
and Rakudo * is really a bit like a Debian on top of the Linux Kernel
so it may well have it's own version numbering 11:02
and since we recommend Rakudo * to beginners anyway
it only seems *very* appropriate to name it 6.0
cxreg node.js went from 0.12 to 4.0 in one go
lizmat because that is what many people want to see
and we want many people to see Perl 6 :-) 11:03
timotimo what do we name rakudo stars after 6.0?
lizmat well, 6.1 ? 11:04
cxreg phones captain semver
timotimo that seems like a terrible idea
lizmat perhaps only switch major numbers on a language version bump
timotimo then we'll have 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, suddenly we have perl 6.d
11:04 crux left
timotimo so we'll have perl 7, perl 8, perl 9 for 6.d, 6.e and 6.f? 11:05
man is *that* going to make perl5 people mad
lizmat so this one would be 6.0.0, the next one 6.0.1
and when we get to 6.d, we go to 6.1
timotimo and we won't have 6.c.1?
masak timotimo: we should just release Perl 7, then Perl 8, then Perl 9. one each month. :P
AlexDaniel like a web browser! Great
lizmat well, you can take it into the absurd, but we *do* have a marketing problem 11:06
masak yes
lizmat to the point that one of the people doing marketing for Perl 6 is about to call it quits
because it cannot be explained to Joe Average
timotimo i must admit, i have no clue about marketing
11:07 TEttinger left
cxreg how do things like pypy and the like version themselves? 11:07

masak lizmat: no, of course not :)
cxreg imo, we're too overly concerned with the short-term reaction
masak lizmat: deliberate as in "6.0.0 would send the wrong signals, let's use the 6.c naming scheme instead"
timotimo cxreg: if we don't have any short-term reaction, we can't hope for a long-term development, though

i trust y'all much more than i trust myself to make decisions about this :)
lizmat masak: I think we need a bigger bus factor soon, because I detect signs of burnout 11:12
AlexDaniel actually, it would be nice to make the documentation less messy. e.g. if Sxx are not considered as a specification, then what are they and why do we keep touching them? So to me it makes sense to start moving stuff from synopsis into docs or into other places. For example, it can go like this: “is this part documented in user docs? Yes → delete it; no → move it into user docs. Are there any tests for it? No → wait, leave it here for
now.”. This way we will get more (potentially useful) stuff in user docs, less cruft in synopsis, and less people will think about synopsis as the specs for perl 6. Also, synopsis will become kinda-specs for not-yet-implemented stuff. Sounds great.
cxreg comes back to the killer app thing. make a great thing people want and they'll come asking how they howya the whatsits
masak lizmat: we always need more core developers. 11:13

nine masak: not just core developers 11:13

Zoffix Yeah, I will
moritz lizmat: 1) so that we don't have to explain three versioning schemes 2) so that it's obvious on which compiler it's based 11:59
Zoffix "Service Unavailable" stuff is cached so it takes a few score seconds before it starts showing things even after you start hypnotoad
lizmat I mean, if we have a bad compiler release for some reason, we might still want to do a Rakudo Star release because of updates in the modules
11:59 snarkyboojum left, lnrdo joined
masak I'd still much perfer Star to be clearly tied to compiler, version-wise 11:59
moritz lizmat: 3) people already recommend "rakudobrew build moar $compiler-version" and then panda install Task::Star; that won't work with separate star versniong 12:00
cxreg you could do a point release of the prior compiler's version? wait for the compiler to be fixed?
lizmat moritz: now *that* is a valid point :-)
DrForr Out of all the questions we'll get at FOSDEM, I don't think that versioning will be the first one on their minds :)
moritz cxreg: typically we either did a point release of the current compiler version, or skip the star release altogether
cygx moritz: does it work anyway without versioned Task::Star
12:00 xpen left
DrForr I rather suspect "Why?" will be :( 12:00
moritz cygx: the closer it is to a release, the better it works :-) 12:01

Which is kind of annoying
(And they're not the same is-approx as is specified in S24, but that's fixable) 13:17

14:10 pierre-vigier left
lizmat [Coke]: I only think the GC fix in MoarVM might warrant a point update 14:11
so maybe it could be as simple as an NQP version bump 14:12
[Coke] (stable release) we had an argument about that pre-xmas as well, and jnthn made a convincing point that we don't really want stable vs. dev releases, at least short term. 14:13

lizmat OTOH, we're only two weeks off from 2016.01, right ?

lucasb idk if it makes sense what I will say, but shouldn't 2016.01 monthly releases be targeting the upcoming 6.d version? moar, nqp and rakudo should all branch from xmas release to keep a 6.c compatibility branch. Only a few fix commits would have to be cherry picked, right? I think this is the only way possible for the language to continue evolve. 14:29

ZoffixW I'm here to score nine's extra points :) This works because it's the containers inside the arrays that get bound which is why assigning to @baz works.
Also +1 (no, +2) on using the [Stable] tags on releases. +1 on using [LTS] too, but maybe only in a year, when the dust settles a bit and things become more stable to support an LTS. I've actually not seen any confusion over actual versions and more about there being a version of the language + a version of a compiler + lack of a R* release you could just point people at. I think something tagged with '[Stable]' gives people a clear indicator of what
to download among the many options.
nine ZoffixW: right! :) 14:33
ZoffixW \o/
lucasb well, idk nothing really. I think there is this balance between language evolution and backward compatibility, and they contrast with each other. The last months of 2014 saw the most disruptive changes and I think it's silly to think that now everything is stable and frozen.

[Coke] m: sub a ($a;$b) { say "a" } 15:50
camelia ( no output )
llfourn what does ; do in a sig?
FROGGS pdcawley: the parser is designed to know where a safe point of statement parsing is... though, one would need to port that from STD to rakudo
[Coke] pdcawley: rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=112634
pdcawley [Coke]: Really? Stash the code in a buffer, attempt to execute it, if the error implies an EOF before the end of a parse, carry the buffer over to the next line.
llfourn i know what ;; does
FROGGS pdcawley: timotimo and me already tried without much success
pdcawley: IIRC it was about a magic "moreinput" token 15:51
timotimo nothing i try successes :)
FROGGS *g*
moritz pdcawley: it's not that easy; the regex engine uses length of the input string all over the place to check if stuff can match or not
pdcawley run the equivalent of perl -c on the buffer, only actually execute the buffer if the -c passes.
15:51 psy_ left
[Coke] pdcawley: please give it a shot. 15:51

awwaiid nine: come to dcbpw
yoleaux 08:03Z <nine> awwaiid: Congrats on your progress on Inline::Ruby! Piece of advice: don't map language constructs in one language to constructs in the other language unless they really match semantically. Because one day someone will use code that looks very closely and discovers you cheating.
08:21Z <nine> awwaiid: I was saying that if there for example is no "symbol" thingy in Perl 6, I'd write a class that mimicks its behavior and can be mapped back to Ruby symbols without ambiguity.
mspo or can vim just be the repl somehow? 15:56
stmuk_ :!perl6 % 15:57
nine awwaiid: I've never been to the US, and I'm not particularily attracted to crossing that border...
awwaiid yoleaux: good point -- what I've done in other cases is to make a separate "sugar" lib, and anyone who uses it is then opting-in to weirdness.
cxreg [Coke]: it's how node's repl works, you just get "... " forever. once you expect that the statement is done, if you still have "... " you can ^C to interrupt the broken input
mspo kind of like erlang and emacs

[Coke] pdcawley: yes. 16:34
pdcawley is confused. AFAICT, the master implementation of interactive does have logic for getting multiple lines....
Skarsnik [Coke], for me a major issue for the next rakudo release is being easily 'packagable'
timotimo pdcawley: i think that's for when you end your line in a backslash
[Coke] Skarsnik: how is the compiler not?
Or are you saying you want a Rakudo * ? 16:35
pdcawley timotimo: I thought I tried that...
cygx on the other hand, you'd then have to write something like sub foo(%opt = {}) {...} to get current %opt? semantics
Skarsnik there was some issue/bug with like bootstrap.pl or panda, that make the whole thing hard to package 16:36

pdcawley timotimo: Yup... the version that gets installed by rakudobrew build moar treats a \ terminator as an error. 16:36

lucs cygx++ Nice, thanks again.
timotimo pdcawley: hm, maybe it comes with Linenoise or Readline for some reason?
pdcawley Hmm... and a quick look at that source says that rakudobrew install moar is using \\ detection. 16:39
[Coke] timotimo: verified, ending with a \ works with linenoise.

hoelzro mspo: that too, depending on what you need to do 16:41
mspo find ./ -name "Compiler.nqp"|wc -l -> 8
pdcawley It'd still be nice to be able to copy/paste a chunk of code into the repl without having to fix it up first, but that's splendid.
hoelzro we could change the REPL so that if a chunk doesn't compile with an EOF encountered error, it automatically appends the backslash 16:42
mspo linenoise is referenced a lot in the code 16:43
why isn't it just installed by default?
hoelzro but that could cause problems with BEGIN
mspo: we don't bundle a lot of modules with Rakudo itself
just Pod::*, Test, and NativeCall, IIRC
Pod::* and Test for bootstrapping reasons, and NC because it's so tightly coupled to the implementation 16:44
timotimo OK
hoelzro when I wrote Linenoise, we thought "don't bundle unless we need to"
mspo but it's referenced by name all over the place 16:45
16:45 hahainternet joined
hoelzro it's loaded if available 16:45
so is Readline
pdcawley Hmm... I _think_ there's some weirdness going on between Perl6::Compiler and HLL::Compiler 16:46
16:47 lnrdo joined
hoelzro I wonder if $code ends with "\n" without Linenoise, and with "\\" with Linenoise 16:47
mspo hoelzro: if it's referenced by name and adds good functionality and is unlikely to be replaced by something else...
pdcawley when P6::C calls HLL::Compiler's interactive, it seems to be passing in a nqp:readlinefh rather than a bare fh. I can't spot the implementation of readlinefh, but I'd not be surprised to find that the simple variant is either doing something clever, or not clever enough.
hoelzro I'm not opposed to bundling Linenoise with Rakudo, but there's definitely not a lot of love for Linenoise among people I've talked to 16:48
mspo the current repl is rough without anything
hoelzro you can use rlwrap as well 16:49
mspo yes but why have these options with varying degrees of functionality? :)
hoelzro well, the reason for Linenoise vs Readline is licensing
pdcawley Hmm... tests imply that nqp::readlinefh($stdin) grabs the line _and_ the separator. 16:50
hoelzro we can't distribute Readline with Rakudo, afaik
pdcawley: that's consistent with my theory
mspo gnu readline?
hoelzro mspo: yes
mspo what about bsd libedit instead?
cygx mspo: windows support
hoelzro if someone writes a binding, we can use that =)
and what cygx said
pdcawley So simpleminded readlinefh(...) given "foo\\\n" won't match the check in HLL::Compile::Interactive

hoelzro do a make install at NQP
then a Configure.pl --gen-nqp && make install at the rakudo one
changing NQP will probably make rakudo angry with its current state

lucasb I tried to understand jnthn's gist but it was not clear to me *when* will rakudo stop targeting 6.c and start targeting 6.d 17:15

[Coke] lucasb: are we going to have separate releases of rakudo for 6.c and 6.d-pre, or a single release that does both? Or ...
The leaning before jnthn went on vacation was, I think, a single release. This has already been made difficult by the commits that have landed on nom. 17:18

17:28 wamba joined
lucasb just sharing a idea for repl feature: to support repl commands like ':set foo' or ',set foo'. and then have 3 modes: line mode, paragraph mode and dot mode. line mode ends at EOL. paragraph ends at empty line (two \n\n). dot mode ends in a line consisting of only a single dot '.', like ed text editor. then one could change the modes with commands ":set mode line", etc. 17:30
but anyways, this is not P6 specific, just a generic REPL idea.
17:30 pierre-vigier left
lucasb and maybe it's too much stuff for what one would expect from a simple repl 17:31
pdcawley Hmm... am I reading this right, the backend/stages as far as HLL::Compiler is concerned accept strings not streams? 17:34

pdcawley Because if they _could_ accept streams, then the repl could have some kind of 'code stream' that does 'readlines' on demand and let the backend pull code...
17:37 lnrdo joined
pdcawley (And if the stream 'knows' the parser it's feeding, could even vary the prompt on parser state). 17:38

hoelzro I'm actually not sure 17:41

hoelzro I would love it if we could have SAX-y grammar objects, that return a continuation or something when they can still parse more, yield action method objects to callbacks at certain levels, and discard the AST at certain points 17:44
mainly for writing things like an XMPP client
lunch &
pdcawley hoelzro: I don't even care about that. Just a grammar that consumes something that does a stream role would let the repl be more capable without having to talk to the grammar much at all. 17:45
hoelzro yeah, I'm just laying out my dream, which probably won't happen until (6.d|6.e) 17:46
pdcawley All it has to do is, when the grammar calls for more characters from the buffer and there is none, call readline
hoelzro the thing is, for stream-based grammars to work, you'd need the VM to understand streams
but what are streams but callbacks that yield strings?

pdcawley hoelzro: Assuming we don't do too much backtracking in the parse, the parser is essentially treating the code buffer as a stream. 17:48

TimToady to really be useful in stream parsing, we'd also have to implement <cut> to discard the front of a string, fsdo "discard" 18:42
pdcawley TimToady: do we actually have stream parsing? 18:43
TimToady not without Cat
just sayin' we also have to worry about sinks as well as sources
pdcawley TimToady: Am I misunderstanding the current implementation that seems to be implemented in terms of cursors?
TimToady well, a cursor has an offset into a string
pdcawley TimToady: internally, yes, but the interface that the parser works to? 18:44
TimToady yes, the API is mostly relative there, though we do expose .from and .to
those would need to be recase as 'offset since we started', not necessarily an offset from a memory location 18:45
*recast
18:45 nzkindest left
TimToady presumably a Cat that is emulating a string interface can have an initial offset to the head as well as a lazy tail 18:46
pdcawley So, no promises that you could actually get back to something you already read. If you need that, you hold onto it yourself, or hold onto another cursor.
TimToady <cut> is for explicitly throwing away the head
but nYI
pdcawley nYI?
TimToady not yet implemented
pdcawley Ah. 18:47

Cat has been specced for most of a decade already...

mojca moritz: "To install rakudo perl and panda: 'sudo port install rakudo panda'. To install modules: 'panda install Task::Star'."

stmuk_ maybe branch master from dev and revert the changes which break roast 6.c?
Skarsnik mojca, rakudo-star are a fixed release of rakudo + select module. Task::Star is not the same x)
stmuk_ s/dev/nom
mojca moritz: sorry, actually, "Rakudo Star" is not directly available
moritz mojca: I'm not a big fan of this approach; Rakudo Star is there to bundle versions of modules that work with a particular compiler version
mojca I only noticed that I tried to edit the sentence in the wrong way

mojca then maybe just mention installing rakudo alone
I tried to package rakudo-star, but the December release hasn't been available yet
TimToady perhaps Task::Star is a bit misnamed
19:07 raoulvdberge joined
mojca else, if someone can help me figure out how to package rakudo-star as an "add-on" to moarvm, npq, rakudo & panda, that would be great 19:08
moritz nine, stmuk_, TimToady: I've skimmed this proposal before, and mostly liked it. Now on second read-through, I'm not sure what we do when somebody does commit backwards incompatible changes to nom; if nobody takes "defensive" actions, there'll never be a merge into master again
mojca it would be a bit stupid to have two packages, rakudo and rakudo-star, conflicting with each other
moritz mojca: yes, we need to cut a Star release; it's absence shouldn't encourage us to write misleading documetnation 19:09
mojca it would be better to have rakudo-star depend on rakudo
19:09 protium joined
moritz mojca: right, that's the sane approach (rakudo-star being a kind of meta package that depends on rakudo + modules) 19:09
mojca but which modules?
how do I know what else to package and how? 19:10
ZoffixW Well, I give up with figuring out why www.p6c.org died. I see nothing in the logs other than testers.perl6.org barfing some sort of JSON into syslog, but that's been happening for ages. Nothing in web server logs. There's 1800MB of free RAM+swap, so all good. The last command I see was the start of the modules.perl6.org DB build and I reviewed all of its code and don't see anything that would make it use all of that RAM from its normal 180KB run
moritz mojca: star has a list of modules that it includes
ZoffixW ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
moritz mojca: github.com/rakudo/star/tree/master/modules
mojca: how? dunno; never packaged anything for the mac
mojca moritz, this is not a mac-specific question 19:11
I could ask the same question for linux
assuming that rakudo, nqp, moarvm, panda are already installed: what's the easiest way to install exactly the specified modules? 19:12
to match rakudo-star 201x.y
19:12 kjs_ joined
moritz mojca: well, with Debian packages, I'd create one package per module 19:12
mojca: and probably some tooling analogous to dh-make-perl to make that less arduous manually
mojca and then rakudo-star would depend on all those modules?
moritz yes
or, if that's too much work, one rakudo-star-modules package 19:13
or maybe rakudo-star contains them directly, and depends on rakudo to provide the compiler
you can get creative :-) 19:14
mojca in perl5 we are currently fighting because there are more than 1000 packages and hardly enough maintainers, so most modules get outdated very soon
so having some simple single package for now with these modules might be handy
[Coke] I still argue that making R* available via ports at all seems odd. if ports want to make a distro, they can. 19:15
moritz ... and probably be a nightmare to do properly because you have to track the license for each module etc.
19:15 MadcapJake joined
[Coke] (one package per module) that way lies insanity unless we have a way to automate it. (yes, I know people already do this, it's still crazy) 19:15
mojca all in all, would it be bad to list "sudo port install rakudo" on the website then even if rakudo-star won't be available as such 19:16
[Coke], for perl5 we have cpan2port to create a package, but it's a nightmare
19:16 FROGGS joined
[Coke] yah. I would like folks to think if there's ab etter way to handle modules when dealing with a packaging system than the status quo. 19:17
(I mean, there may not be.)
mojca in addition to well over 1000 modules, they would multiply with a factor of up to 7 (when we still provided perl5.8, 5.10, 5.12, 5.14, 5.16, 5.18, 5.20)
ZoffixW :o 19:18
mojca for perl6 we need to find a better way :)
FROGGS o/ 19:19
TimToady would be nice if there was a way to calculate maintrot
moritz mojca: and it already has great tooling, so "more automation" doesn't seem to be the solution
mojca the thing is, if some software needs a specific module, the package manager has to provide that module to satisfy the dependency
so again, would it be acceptable to list just "sudo port install rakudo" for now? It might take a while until we figure out the best way to package rakudo-star. 19:21
moritz I'm painfully aware of that (I maintain lots of internal debian modules for $work)
mojca: I can add that, yes
[Coke] so, TL;DR, I'm Ok with telling people that if they want something R* like, they can "sudo port install panda" and then "panda install Task::Star" until we think of something cleverer.

Make HLL::Compiler::readline chomp

Continued statement detection in `interactive` expects that any code read in

presumably Readline) do. However, the fallback readline doesn't.

like result.. I did not have a better idea
[Coke] lizmat: to what purpose? 20:10

lizmat to give credit to the people working on Perl 6 ?

nemo You know, I was reading doc.perl6.org/language/unicode_entry and I can't believe there's no mention of my very fav digraph system. XCompose! works in all my apps and has a nice config. I use it for emoji silliness like setting :D to 😃 20:14
moritz nemo: then please patch it! 20:15
nemo github.com/kragen/xcompose/blob/ma...otXCompose insanely large .XCompose
ZoffixW Skarsnik, for the API, I'd be returning invocants from the drawing methods so you could chain them as well as add a separate fg/bg colour-setting methods, so If I have to draw a bunch of rectangles then I don't need to specify the color all over the place. At least that's what I've done in my P5 PDF module (metacpan.org/pod/Mojo::PDF#SYNOPSIS) . Not sure how applicable that is for IRC art
nemo moritz: that probably requires registering for something 😝
<capslock> + :p = 😝 in mine btw 😃
and, yeah, »+« is just >>+<< plus hitting capslock twice 20:16
ZoffixW nemo, "for something" you mean github and you wish not do so?
nemo, there's an open Issue just for that that's dying for a contributor: github.com/perl6/doc/issues/286
nemo ZoffixW: oh. yeah, I technically have a github account, but never really used it
ZoffixW: not a fan of git, and their site in general sucks at degrading gracefully 20:17
[Coke] Note: I need to include our financial sponsors in an updated Christmas release notice. If you feel your employer made a significant contribution to the Perl 6 effort by contributing your time (or other resources), please privmsg so I can make sure they get considered for inclusion. Thanks. (This covers any of the related-to-p6 efforts going back to 2000)
nemo: It beats the alternative. 20:18
nemo [Coke]: mercurial?
[Coke]: Bugzilla?
[Coke] (which is: anything we would have to maintain ourselves)

[Coke] so, yes.

ZoffixW: just web "apps" and you kinda expect that
20:26 nzkindest joined
nemo ZoffixW: amusingly, some sites are more usable than if you, say, use privacy code... For example. If you don't whitelist google for fonts or javascript you might not get sites that render 'cause some idjit decided to avoid "flash of unstyled content" by *defaulting* to a hide css instead of adding it in in JS 20:27
ZoffixW: result, failure to load a remote resource can result in a blank page until you disable CSS
but shows up fine in w3m
firefox readability mode can help w/ that too

[Coke] I keep looking at it, but it's hard to break off a piece that is easy to speed up
I am tempted to make the build more ||, anyway. (whether in straight perl 6 or with a make file)
lizmat [Coke]: what is it exactly that you're running ? 22:13
[Coke] "make"

Rotwang is there moar/nqp hacking guide anywhere? I'm really struggling with making the thing to compile with my changeset 22:28
PerlJam Rotwang: there's github.com/edumentab/rakudo-and-nq...als-course 22:29
I don't think there's a "deeper" guide
Rotwang PerlJam: thanks 22:30
am I the only one who thinks that build scripts aren't wonderful?

geekosaur reserves judgement, having seen some rather heinous build scripts (and indeed sometimes maintaining them...) 22:32
well, makefiles
which is just a build script with a funny name, really
PerlJam and a funny syntax 22:33
and weird quirks
22:34 hankache left
Rotwang I've done tons of makefiles 22:34
make isn't that bad
PerlJam Clearly make has withstood the test of time (nothing has adequately supplanted it yet :)
masak nowadays, when I have a compilation error in a module that I `use` from a script, I get the same compilation error N times instead of 1 time 22:35
is anyone else seeing the same thing?
I suspect precompilation is trying and failing over and over along various `use` paths

RabidGravy, your last was 500th. There's one extra META line for same module with two different versions, for testing AFAIC
RabidGravy I also now have 31 modules, I may have to give up soon 23:08

RabidGravy also a lot of wheel reinvention

maybe replace the advent calendar box by modules.perl6.org plug? 23:27

Zoffix stmuk_, I call this the "Executive Syndrome". My bosses/sales reps always want $foo in the visible place (often on the home page). Eventually, the end result is a ridiculously overcrowded home page that's pretty useless as clicks on it confirm :)
stmuk_, I think that's a good idea; to do on 15th or so. Today's is first working Monday since release. To many the advent would be new
stmuk_ yes that's true 23:29
Zoffix Not to mention it has a lot of info not covered by docs
stmuk_ I did wonder why perl6.org/compilers/std-viv is linked when its not developed anymore
