rikashore Is there an action for raku grammars that get called when all rules fail 10:33
like a fallback case I can use to handle the failure and move on?
for context I'm building a lexer using raku grammars and I want to be able to produce "error" nodes while then continuing to lex further 10:34
nemokosch when all rules fail to match, not when there is no action defined, right? 10:35
rikashore yeah 10:37
nemokosch Not that I know of 10:39
the grammar of Raku itself definitely uses no such thing, it just mixes in statefulness or outright calls error handlers 10:40
rikashore I see 10:41
I'll probably have to rewrite the lexer then into something more manual
or maybe do some DFA construction and use that, we'll see
nemokosch I think there are conceptual problems with recovering from syntax errors as well
it implies you know where the faulty part terminates 10:42
in which case you can write a rule exactly for that - "eat up everything until this certain pattern where the error must end"
rikashore yeah this is not for full syntax, its just for tokenisation though
and since the tokens are small enough, I can just assume every unknown character is an error token 10:43
nemokosch in that case you probably really know where a token can end 10:44
rikashore yeah
although I've been meaning to play around with lexer construction through automata
so might be a nice detour to try and implement that
nemokosch fair enough 10:45
a plain DFA might have less overhead anyway, when implemented at a sufficiently low level
rikashore yeah true, perf isn't my main goal however right now but I see what you mean 10:46
nemokosch fair enough 10:47
antononcube @rika "Is there an action for raku grammars that get called when all rules fail." -- I think FALLBACK can be used. In the package "FuncitonalParsers" for the ability to generate grammars from a BNF I had to deal with the cases when the BNF is incomplete, and used FALLBACK. 12:41
Now, in "FunctionalParsers" the generated random sentences generation code uses FALLBACK , but that should work for grammars too. 12:42
@rika Actually, I am not sure I got it right. Where do you want the fallback to happen? In the grammar <TOP> grammar rule you can always define a fallback match, like, TOP { [<rule1> | <rule2> | <rule3>] || <fallback-rule> } 12:46
Also, see this discution: stackoverflow.com/a/49200368/14163984 12:47

nemokosch This is why I asked whether it's about fallback to the matching or fallback to the actions ^^ 13:51
rikashore I see 14:38
thank you
.ohnowendigo How do I check if a list is an element of another list? I tried l1 (elem) l2 but it always returned false. 16:29
m: say <1 2> (elem) (<1 2>, ❤️ 4>) 16:30
Raku eval Exit code: 1 ===SORRY!=== Error while compiling /home/glot/main.raku Bogus term at /home/glot/main.raku:1 ------> say <1 2> (elem) (<1 2>,⏏ ❤️ 4>) expecting any of: infix infix stopper prefix statement end statement modifier statement modifier loop term
.ohnowendigo m: say <1 2> (elem) (<1 2>, <3 4>)
Raku eval False
nemokosch It's because the list have referential identity 16:31
m: say <1 2>.WHICH, <1 2>.WHICH
Raku eval List|6362861461664List|6362861461760
nemokosch There is a module called ValueList with the promise that it would get added natively to the next language version 16:32

wambash m: say (|<1 2>) (elem) ((|<1 2>), (|<3 4>)) 18:17
Raku eval True
nemokosch This hack used to work but it was decided that it shouldn't 18:18
github.com/Raku/problem-solving/issues/372 18:19
wambash oh, that will breake a lot of my code. 18:23
nemokosch I have also used it tbh 18:24
18:27 Chopchop left
librasteve this (|<1 2>) is a Slip, right? so what is the connection to the Capture discussion in that problem solving issue? 19:39
.ohnowendigo m: say (|<1 2>) (elem) ((|<1>), (|<2 3 4>)) 20:08
Raku eval False
librasteve yeah - same for me with (|<1 2>) (elem) ((|<1 2>), (|<3 4>)) is False 20:11
I am on Rakudo™ v2023.08. 20:16
.ohnowendigo Anyway I figured out how to do it wo! 20:20
m: say so (<1 2>, <3 4>).first(<1 2>) 20:21
Raku eval True
librasteve nice! 20:24
21:08 stanrifkin left 21:10 saint- joined
nemokosch m: |<1 2> andthen .&dd 21:18
Raku eval slip(IntStr.new(1, "1"), IntStr.new(2, "2"))
nemokosch m: ((|<1 2>), (|<3 4>)) andthen .&dd 21:19
Raku eval (IntStr.new(1, "1"), IntStr.new(2, "2"), IntStr.new(3, "3"), IntStr.new(4, "4"))
nemokosch not sure why this would ever work
I didn't notice it was with | and honestly I think that was a thinko in the first place 21:20
(1, 2) was the one that "used to work" (it still does) but shouldn't 21:21
|(1, 2) would have never worked
discord ate the backslash up
so, \(1, 2) was the one that did kinda work
(|<1 2>) is just <1 2> with extra steps 21:22
oh right - probably @wambash also used the backlash, and it also got absorbed 🤣 21:23
ha, take this, I can see invisible backslashes
this will work but this is will be a plain linear search, for the record
I wouldn't know by heart but probably it uses smartmatching 21:24
m: say so (<1 2>, ❤️ 4>).first((1, 2)) 21:25
Raku eval Exit code: 1 ===SORRY!=== Error while compiling /home/glot/main.raku Bogus term at /home/glot/main.raku:1 ------> say so (<1 2>,⏏ ❤️ 4>).first((1, 2)) expecting any of: infix infix stopper prefix statement end statement modifier statement modifier loop term
nemokosch bruh
m: say so (<1 2>, <3 4>).first((1, 2))
Raku eval True
nemokosch m: <1 2> eqv (1, 2) andthen .say 21:26
Raku eval False
nemokosch yes, it must be smartmatching
m: say so (<1 2>, <3 4>).first((1, *)) 21:28
Raku eval True
