geekosaur doesn'tt hat type have to be something like Hash{Routine} instead of square brackets? 02:45
SmokeMachine geekosaur: camelia was trying to compile the file with the output... 02:48
geekosaur: what I can't get is: the %funcs seems to be populated... why the `say "exported-EXPORT: @funcs[]; %funcs<>";` says it isn't? 02:50
geekosaur looks to me like you are producing a reference to a sub that needs a 'my' variable. whose value doesn't exist any more because sub EXPORT has returned 02:56
pretty sure it can't close over %funcs just because you returned a reference to a sub object that uses it 02:57
probably need either "our", or some other way carry the scope with exported-EXPORT. possibly use the assuming method to pass it in? 02:59
SmokeMachine geekosaur: that makes sense... 03:04
geekosaur: thanks! 03:05
geekosaur: using assuming didn't help... but the error changed... 03:07
now it dies with:
www.irccloud.com/pastebin/PAMwEWAB/
there's no `$res` on my code
geekosaur well, that sounds like it at least tried, but wasn't expecting what you did. I had been wondering how it would deal with that, tbh 03:08
might have to unroll it into the call since it again doesn't exist. ($res is probably from the hackery 'assuming' does) 03:09
yes, it is. and that hackery is …fragile 03:12
(it's sprintf-ing an anon sub and EVAL-ing it. ick) 03:13
so something went wrong generatingt he anon sub and its internal $res ended up out of scope 03:14
might be easier to return an anon sub yourself. 'EXPORT' => sub { exported-EXPORT(%funcs) } # ? 03:15

moritz rba: I think so, yes :( 07:53
rba: I'm curious, what's your use case of zip over MSI?
chsanch rba: probably is the best option, not sure why you can't use MSI 07:54
rba moritz: Sitting in front of enterprise windows, where I'm not allowed to install msi myself.
moritz: So I will install the msi on my private machine and then smuggle the binaries on that system, I guess...
chsanch rba: www.codetwo.com/kb/msi-from-exe/ maybe with 7-Zip (I don't use windows, so not sure if that could work) 07:56
finanalyst good time-of-day. Having a problem with CompUnit::Repository. The repository is providing an old handle even when :since is set. I think this is a bug, but I wanted to check. Pastebin of code and result pastebin.com/wtA9a0nP 07:58
moritz rba: but can you install files to C:\rakudo in your enterprise windows? 08:00
rba chsanch: Tried to unzip it using 7-zip already, yet all the files have filenames like "fil<hex-uniq-id>".
El_Che moritz: colleagues using Windows use lots of portable apps (because their installations are restricted to sillyness).
moritz rakudo is not relocatable :(
El_Che but the not relocatable thing makes this argument moot
El_Che is a Linux rebel at work, with an illegal OS on his laptop :) 08:01
rba moritz: so then I'm lost anyway. I have no rights to write to c:\ 08:02
El_Che it sounds like we work on the same place or we have the same crappy desktop admins :) 08:03

Zoffix xinming: that article lists <> as decont, simply 'cause it's easy to remember (it looks like a squished box) and unlike `[]` zen slice that's often used to interpolate `@-` vars in strings, the `<>` is seldom used. The reason `<>` or `[]` work as decont is they simply return `self`, so even a `.self` method call will decont. 10:34
xinming: also, they're currently not the same. `[]` caches the Seq, while `<>` doesn't. The `[]` was made to cache very recently, and now I'm questioning whether it was right... 10:36
10:36 AlexDaniel left
Zoffix will open an Issue, but will default to reverting the caching of `[]` 10:36

atroxaper It's me again :) Yesterday I asked about wrap and signatures (stackoverflow.com/questions/529898...wrap-sub). Today I have try to find a workaround and found that it is not because wrap but because CALL-ME method;
sub s(:$arg) {}; say %(:arg(3)) ~~ &s.signature; say &s.^find_method('CALL-ME'); &s does role r { submethod CALL-ME(|) {} }; say %(:arg(3)) ~~ &s.signature; say &s.^find_method('CALL-ME');

False
CALL-ME

Zoffix jkramer: yeah, it's already filed as github.com/zostay/p6-DOM-Tiny/issues/12
jkramer: IIRC I just stuck DOM::Tiny into a separate file and exported just the DOM::Tiny class from it 12:37

pmurias masak: have you seen the java pattern for doing code-generation where you put annotations on a class and a preprocessor (which you write in java) takes those annotations (it also can read the signatures of method etc. of that class) and generates a class that inherits from it 12:43
masak pmurias: I had not.
pmurias the oracle people tend to use it in their truffle languages (so I have borrowed it for the nqp truffle backend) 12:46
masak ah, I see 12:47
in 007 I'd be more tempted to, you know, *transforming code* on the AST level ;)
for example, I think class declarations themselves (with or without annotations) will end up desugaring to MOP calls 12:48

$self->SUPER::method_from_parent
jkramer zostay: Should this already work in DOM::Tiny? $d.at('html > meta > link[ref=canonical]') 13:04
Seems like the attribute matching isn't working, also tried with "canonical".

masak pmurias: you can probably do that exact things by walking up .^mro 13:06
pmurias: but a more idiomatic use would maybe be something like nextsame() 13:07
depends if you really want to call another method, or the same one
timotimo you can self.ClassName::methodname() 13:12
masak oh, even for class names? 13:13
timotimo as strings?
i haven't tried, actually
masak m: class C { method foo { say "C" } }; class D is C { method foo { say "D"; self.C::foo() } }; D.new.foo

masak: i'm watching your talk and i'm wondering, how hard would it be to port over NativeCall and CArray and friends? :) 13:28
masak timotimo: heh
timotimo: I have no idea ;)
timotimo have you done any performance comparisons between p6, nqp, and 007? 13:29
surely it's a bit better than nqp when it comes to math, because nqp still goes between int and num and back all the time
masak the short answer is "007 is ridiculously slow"
to be clear, the current 007 *interprets the AST* 13:30
timotimo oh no
oh, i hadn't realized that
masak and speed hasn't been a priority at all
timotimo that's sensible
masak because the goal is to explore macros
what I personally look forward to is to land infix:<ff> (in the short term) and `is parsed` (in the longer term) 13:32

azawawi timotimo: the problem is libclang is also parsing cursors to nodes by value to callbacks... 16:43
parsing=passing
16:43 robertle joined
timotimo so the problem is that it passes structs to you, but you want to change the data locally, but not change what you got passed? 16:43
oh
it passes structs without a pointer
i think only returning structs is problematic 16:44
16:44 p6bannerbot sets mode: +v robertle
azawawi timotimo: true... CStruct objects are passed to native functions by reference and native functions must also return CStruct objects by reference 16:46
anyways without wrapping CXCursor passing-by-value, I get silent & random segmentation faults. 16:47
github.com/azawawi/scripts/blob/ma...ibclang.p6 # so far
once libclang is wrapped, we can traverse the nodes... and basically output nativecall stuff... like bindgen in rust. 16:48
parse C/C++ headers easily... automate nativecall boilerplate and provide another way besides gptrixie 16:50
stuck now in the final node traversal (callbacks) 16:52

timotimo i see your problem
you are using ""
look at the code that perl6 is echoing back at you
it sees "my = Foo.new" 20:09
that's because your shell doesn't have a $f defined, so it replaces it with the empty string

MasterDuke ah
timotimo or even pack/unpack 21:36
avuserow I worked on a p6 module inspired by Python's Construct module as Binary::Structured
it's a class-based approach for representing binary data 21:37
MasterDuke eco: Binary::Structured 21:39
buggable MasterDuke, Binary::Structured 'Read and write binary formats defined by classes': modules.perl6.org/dist/Binary::Stru...n%20Kreher
