Reduce overhead of loops with phasers by at least 5%

Completely re-imagines the IterateOneWithPhasers iterator:
  - set the FIRST phaser flag in .new
  - check for any iteration in .new, don't bother with much if none
  - keep the next value pulled as an attribute, which simplifies loops
  - add some helper methods to reduce bytecode footprint of the fast path
  - don't use any control statements
Also adds a Block.callable_for_phaser method that will return a Callable for the given phaser on the given block, or Nil if there are no phasers.

Stop generating MoarVM if_o and unless_o ops

These ops, along with istrue and isfalse, behave according to the object's boolification protocol configuration and may result in a method call. Said method call needs to be performed via the new dispatch mechanism.
For now, generate istrue + if_i/unless_i; the istrue will later become a dispatch op, so factor out emitting it in preparation for that.
12:36

Compile isfalse using istrue + not_i

And also prepare the compilation of istrue to become a compilation into a dispatch op.

patrickb Are there any graphics designers among us? I'd welcome someone to make the two images at github.com/patrickbkr/rakudo/tree/...ler-assets more shiny. (Gimp files are located one folder up in `raw-images`). Those are the backgrounds of the new MSI installer. 13:27

Fix next/last with Slip as value

The iterator handling loops with phasers would not properly handle a Slip passed as a value with next/last if the "pull-one" path was taken. Also make sure that the LAST phaser only will get executed if there actually was an iteration.
13:28
patrickb Please contact me before going at it, there are some conditions that should be met.
Geth rakudo/new-disp: 7d45745f6c | (Jonathan Worthington)++ | src/vm/moar/dispatchers.nqp

Always use new-disp based wrap on MoarVM

patrickb sena_kun: Am I right, that you use releasable for your release manager work? 19:41
sena_kun patrickb, correct. 19:49
patrickb, not sure if the both is meant or the ake script, but both.
patrickb both? What's that? I only knew about the ake file 19:50
sena_kun releasable6, status 19:51
releasable6 sena_kun, Next release in ≈13 days and ≈23 hours. 1 blocker. Changelog for this release was not started yet
sena_kun, Details: gist.github.com/b37d20f353565962f8...7cd30eb3ef
sena_kun patrickb, :)
oops, sorry
the first `both` is `bot`
patrickb Hm. It seems I know little about the release infra. So you don't use the Ake file? 19:53
ah
only the first :-p
sena_kun patrickb, I am using both the bot and the Ake file. 19:54
patrickb There was a request to also provide checksums for our release files. I now have a minimal sh script to sign and verify a file to be released. Do you mind if I try to integrate it into that ake file? Is there any thing else that needs to be done? 19:55
Also what's your thoughts on you / the Ake script also doing the precomp release builds? (It's an open question. I'm very willing to continue doing those.) 19:56
sena_kun patrickb, this can be done, yes. Patch the Ake file, then add another step to the github.com/rakudo/rakudo/blob/mast..._guide.pod if we're talking about rakudo (the most optimal way is to have this task under human-3 umbrella (see Ake script), but for documenting purposes.
patrickb, if you are thinking about moarvm too, then you'll need to add the script somewhere to the repo and update steps from github.com/MoarVM/MoarVM/blob/mast...e_guide.md 19:57
patrickb OK. I'll have a look.
Btw. The next release will have a shiny new MSI installer on Windows. :-)
sena_kun patrickb, can you please elaborate on precomp builds, like what exactly are they, what's required? 19:58
patrickb The tar.gz and zip files offered on rakudo.org which contain a readily compiled rakudo + zef. 19:59
sena_kun ah-ha
patrickb The process to build them is largely automated. One needs to (still manually) start an Azure CI pipeline run, wait 20 minutes, download the resulting files, sign, upload. 20:00
sena_kun patrickb, ah-ha, makes sense. can it handle building from branches? 20:01
patrickb It doesn't build from a repo. It works off of the actual source release. 20:02
When staring the pipeline run, one needs to provide a URL which I usually point to the new source release on rakudo.org.
sena_kun good 20:04
patrickb, it all sounds good to me, I don't mind taking this bit on me if it's at least somewhat integrated into the releasable.
patrickb I never tried it, but I guess it would also work when pointing it to one of those GitHub autogenerated branch archives.
sena_kun Would be awesome to ease your burden as well.
patrickb I'm not the releaser. So it's more of a more burden on you thing. 20:05
I actually don't mind continuing to do it, but I'd like for someone else to know what's going on.
sena_kun patrickb, alright, anything I can be helpful with? 20:08
patrickb OK. I'll have a look at that ake file and see if I can integrate the checksuming. 20:10
Can we maybe just do the next release together? Then you can show me how to do a source release technically and I can show how to do the binary stuff. I guess it wouldn't hurt to increase the bus factor in both directions.
sena_kun patrickb, sure, I'll ping you about the time 20:14
patrickb Sounds good.
