Make spurt() a few % faster

Mostly because of fewer object allocations by adding specific candidates. This should also help introspection and catch typos in the named parameters at compile time.

rba patrickb: When we like to go this route, we need to make sure the builds are automatically tested and gpg signed as well... 16:09
patrickb Good point. Didn't think about that. They are tested already. But signing is a different beast. 16:10
It seems to be possible to automatically sign stuff: docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/dev...ure-devops 16:12
The key will have to reside on azure servers though.
rba I would rather prefer you upload the files yourself directly. 16:13
patrickb I think a group of possible uploaders is a good thing to have. The last few releases it always took me 2-4 days to find the time to do the build. So having a bit of redundancy might be good. 16:15
(Up until now building on Windows still needed to be done manually. That's now also automated, so the effort ofdoing a build has sunk considerably.) 16:16

Avoid StringIndexOutOfBoundsException on Windows

On the JVM backend, nqp::backendconfig doesn't tell us the OS name.

patrickb bartolin_: Thanks for tackling this! 16:34
rba patrickb: github.com/rakudo/rakudo/blob/mast...elines.yml Wow. Good work... 16:38
patrickb It's kind of a monster I have created there. More than one facepalm happened during the process. 16:39
rba patrickb: When I played around with azure build pipelines it took me plenty of time to get things to work properly. 16:41
patrickb I hope it'll be a long time before we do the next switch of CI pipeline. :-) 16:42
rba patrickb: We may adopt this for the star release as well... 16:43
bartolin_ patrickb: do you know if it is possible to tolerate the failures during 'make install' for the JVM backend on Windows for now? For the record: For travis we allow failures for the JVM backend. (Though it might make sense to change that.) 16:59
patrickb bartolin_: I have discussed this a bit with sena_kun. It's not easy to tolerate only some failures. AzureCI is missing a feature there. 17:01
Altai-man_ bartolin_, it is kind of "all or nothing" situation.
patrickb We could just not test that combination. That would be easy.
Altai-man_ bartolin_, is it an absolutely mad wish to have JVM backend build-able? It might be hard to un-bitrot it, but once it's done, it will be much easier to fix it again if something regresses because you have the exact commit and know a single fix is necessary. 17:03
17:03 Altai-man_ is now known as sena_kun
bartolin_ no, no, nothing mad about that ;) It even builds, so I hope it's not too hard to make it installable, too. 17:04
it only makes me a bit uncomfortable to see the failing builds all the time ;) 17:06
sena_kun bartolin_, you mean the builds will faill all the time until JVM backend will be un-bitrotted or there is something more?
bartolin_ timotimo: do you have a commit or issue for "allow decode to push into already existing array"? It looks like the problem only happens on Windows ... 17:07
sena_kun: I was just referring to all those red marks at github.com/rakudo/rakudo/commits/ 17:08
sena_kun: it makes it harder to see other (new) problems 17:09
sena_kun bartolin_, I would not mind them as long as we are moving to the right direction. I mean, we had the same thing for a month or something until niner++ has fixed SEVG on Windows and not a lot of people complained about it.
patrickb sena_kun: How would you approach retiring the other CI backends? My proposal is to give it a week or so time to see whether any other problem come up and then just remove the other CI integrations. 17:10
bartolin_ bartolin_: well, ok :)
sena_kun bartolin_, how much can it take to get it green? In rough terms, of course.

MasterDuke if we only have limited resources on any one provider, maybe we can split up the higher level work. e.g., test the build/install on each commit with azure, do coverage reports on a not-quite-as-frequent bases with appveyor, ...
sena_kun patrickb, I suspect enabling them back is just a click or ten, so sounds reasonable. But I would put it into Weekly or something so that more people wouldn't be too surprised. So "posting in a weekly" + a week of time.

bartolin_ sena_kun: I really don't know. It might be a matter of a few hours. But I can't promise anything, since my time resources for hacking are limited 17:16

This reverts commit 4bdc9d68db8e99fa0bd4e1250339aca2c9408a82.
Turns out one can mixin the enum True into a type object, making it true. There was no spectest for this for so(), bit there is one for prefix:<so>. So reverting.

Use hllbool(istrue) for so() and not() in the end

Turns out that *is* the fastest way to get a Bool for an expression. The ternary case appears to call "identity" according to the profile, whereas the hllbool case does not. Although this may be an artefact of the profile, it does show that it is doing more for the ternary case, then it is for the hllbool case.

lizmat goes off to think about that some more 20:36
timotimo lizmat: "identity" is what a return type check often turns into, and should in theory be completely tossed out by spesh, but i think a single "set" instruction remains an between prof_enter and prof_exit 20:57
sena_kun "NMAKE : fatal error U1077:" is not cool, but I'm looking at azure builds right now and this looks VERY helpful. 21:13

bartolin_ well, the JVM build that is used by camelia is from 2018-07 ... 21:26
there are more native string arrays in Rakudo::Internals::JSON. Maybe those are causing the trouble. 21:27
