RakuAST Fix stub packages preventing declaration of the real package

This is not yet 100 % there as we still run the BEGIN handler on the stub package. It's hard not to, because that's run before we even parse the package body, so we cannot know yet that it's just a stub.		 07:39

RakuAST: fix canonicalization for non-literal colonpair values

If a name part doesn't have a simple compile time value, all we can do is deparse for canonicalization. Needed for e.g. Int:D(Cool)		 08:20
08:23 Geth left, Geth joined
nine m: use MONKEY-SEE-NO-EVAL; EVAL Q[my Int:D(Cool) $i = "1"].AST 08:24
camelia Use of Nil in string context

Use of Nil in string context
in any IMPL-QUOTE-VALUE at src/Raku/ast/pair.rakumod line 55
Type check failed in assignment to $i; expected Int:D but got Str ("1")
in block <un…
nine Finally found a test that breaks because derived types don't stack yet
lizmat but: isn't my Int:D(Cool) wrong? Shouldn't it be Int(Cool) ? 09:31
I mean, we can only coerce instantiated values, no?
09:34 ab5tract joined
ab5tract nine: Is it possible to convert a `RakuAST::Declaration::External::Constant` into an actualy type object? I ask because the refinee of a SubsetHOW is a type object. I don't see any mention of the refinee in either base or ast QAST. 09:39
nine lizmat: that's from a spectest 09:47
ab5tract: .compile-time-value 09:48
Yeah, you will only find such details in the meta object itself, not in the QAST
09:49 sena_kun joined
ab5tract nine: thanks! 09:50
nine In general: from within the node (e.g. I need the code object this RakuAST::Routine represents) it's .meta-object and from outside it's .compile-time-value 09:53
ab5tract Very helpful, thanks! 10:05
Well, I've got it doing just about everything! ... except actually working
nine err...wat? 10:06
err...wat? 10:26
~. 10:29
ab5tract :) 11:04
I mean, it compiles, the QAST looks mostly good. It works when the subset is declared in packages. It just always fails the type check 11:05
nine Does it run the where expression? 11:07
ab5tract From what I can see, no. 11:09
no, it does not (according to my uber-sophisticated debug logging of inserting a 'say' into the where block) 11:11
lol 11:20
it was a matter of passing the `$!where` to the SubsetHOW.new_type generator before `$!where` was defined. Moved the assignment from PRODUCE-STUBBED-META-OBJECT to PRODUCE-META-OBJECT via a new method `set_where` on SubsetHOW and voila! 11:23
There's some copy-pasta in there that might appreciate some guru-level inspection, but otherwise this is looking good 11:24
lizmat ab5tract: please don't forget to add deparsing and tests :-)
or tell me to do it :-)
ab5tract yeah, that might be a bit tricky... so I take it tests are separate from the current test suite? 11:31
nine It's just tests in t/12-rakuast i.e. tests that create RakuAST nodes manually and check if they do the same as the parsed AST. 11:32
ab5tract Okay, interesting. 11:34
and deparsing?
damn, there's something broken about using WhateverCode with where 11:37
and setting a parameter to a subset type doesn't seem to do the check either 11:38
nine That's basically included in those tests. 11:39
I'd try it first with an explicit block. Then when that works move on to thunking 11:40
ab5tract yeah, using an explicit block doesn't do anything WRT parameter type checking 11:47
I do see in the source "# Do type checks.\n # TODO really more involved than this"
for `RakuAST::Parameter` 11:48
11:51 raschip joined
nine It already is much more involved than when that was written :) But anyway, what about my subset Foo where { $_ > 5 }; my Foo $i = 10; 11:53
ab5tract yeah, that works fine 11:57
as does `my subset Foo where 5; my Foo = 4` 11:58
nine Including running the where block?
ab5tract yes, the where block runs, according to any `say` implanted there 11:59
12:00 reportable6 left 12:01 reportable6 joined
ab5tract branch is now fully up to date 12:04
lizmat ab5tract: if you feel up to writing tests, please do 12:05
if you'd rather attack another piece of RakuAST, lemme take care of the tests and deparsing then, for efficiency's sake :-) 12:06
nine Well first that thing has to work anyway :) 12:07
ab5tract okay, sound good.
yeah, there's that lol
it also fails with confused when running: `'my subset Foo where { $_ > 5 }; my Foo $i where { $_ < 15 } = 10; say $i' 12:08
TIL you could double constrain like this
12:09 kjp left 12:10 kjp joined
nine The add-trait loop should be in actions. It's like that for all other trait holders 12:20

RakuAST: Add support for "use MONKEY"

The other MONKEY-... were already supported		 12:21
nine Determining the current-package must be done in attach, not PERFORM-BEGIN. You don't know where we actually are when BEGIN is triggered. In attach you're guaranteed to get the right answer. 12:23
ab5tract ok, will make that change 12:24
Geth rakudo/main: 886a00d1cc | (Elizabeth Mattijsen)++ | 6 files
RakuAST: Add Nqp and Nqp::const classes

  - create new source and test file
  - move nqp logic from Call::Name to Nqp
  - add direct support for nqp::const in grammar
  - add deparsing
  - add tests
ab5tract it looks like the ast fails for `my $i where { $_ < 10 } = 5`, so it's not specific to subsets 12:25
s/the ast/RakuAST/
nine What does RakuAST::VarDeclaration::Implicit::Constant have to do with the traits in Subset? 12:26
ab5tract Nothing, that was just a thinko 12:27
You're referring to the comment about it maybe not being necessary?
nine yes 12:28
ab5tract Yeah, that's just a brain fart. Please ignore 12:31
Moving all current-package related stuff to `attach` results in "Lexical 'Foo' already declared" for 'my subset Foo of Int where { $_ > 5 }; my Foo $i = "6"; say $i.raku' 12:45
nine Err..."all current-package related stuff" what does that mean exactly? I said "determining the current-package". That's precisely what I meant ;) 12:48
ab5tract (^_^) 12:51
nine Does your PRODUCE_META actually get called when you try it on a parameter? 12:53
ab5tract checking 13:05
yes, it does 13:08
13:10 evalable6 left 13:13 evalable6 joined
ab5tract okay, this is interesting... 'module M { module N { subset F where { say "in where!"; $_ == 5 } } }; -> M::N::F $w { say $w }("w")' --> prints 'w' 13:14
adding 'of Int' a la 'module M { module N { subset F of Int where { say "in where!"; $_ == 5 } } }; -> M::N::F $w { say $w }("w")' --> dies with exception in binding parameter 13:15
but the exception mentions `Int`, not `M::N::F` as in base 13:17
nine Yes, that exception is due to failure to match the nominal type 13:18
The old frontend does generate QAST for doing that subset match: 13:19
│ │ │ - QAST::ParamTypeCheck
│ │ │ - QAST::Op(istrue)
│ │ │ - QAST::Op(callmethod ACCEPTS)
│ │ │ - QAST::WVal(Foo)
│ │ │ - QAST::Var(local __lowered_param__2)
ab5tract so, it's interacting with the subset to some degree, to get that nominal type? just not enough to actually run the where block.. 13:20
also: how does one generate a QAST::Var of "local __lowered_param_2" from code? 13:22
nine I think src/Perl/Actions.nqp:5956 is responsible for that. It adds the type as post constraint if its nominalizable 13:24
Oh, don't worry about that. That's the result of $get-decont-var() which you can just use as is. See related code in RakuAST::Parameter::IMPL-TO-QAST 13:26
ab5tract ok, nice! 13:27
Nemokosch ab5tract++ 13:28
ab5tract does `nqp::istype()` include all of the `is` classes in its lookup? I noticed this returned false for a `RakuAST::Trait::Of` when checking against `RakuAST::Trait` 13:38
erm, sorry. that might be a bit confusing: `nqp::istype($object, RakuAST::Trait)` returned false when $object was a `RakuAST::Trait::Of` 13:39
I'm wondering if something similar is happening when a `CurryThunk` is used as a where clause when it checks whether the type is `RakuAST::Code` 13:41
nine Hm....may be a good time to point a serious gotcha when working in NQP: it doesn't care if a multi part name actually exists. So it will happily accept I::Dont::Exist and just evaluate it to NQPMu
ab5tract that's very good to know 13:42
not sure if it applies here though? I tried using `set-traits($traits)`. That code checks whether every element in the list is of type `RakuAST::Trait` but failed when a `RakuAST::Trait::Of` element was found. 13:45
Rather than hacking that, I just unwrap the list and add the trait manually
but yeah, if `nqp::istype($thing, RakuAST::Code)` fails for a `RakuAST::CurryThunk`, it might explain what's going on with wheres and whatever codes at the moment. 13:47
Sorry, I'm jumping around between problems and questions that have come up while hacking on this 13:48
nine So it could be that OAOB
ab5tract hmm, my font is missing some crucial characters for rendering that line
nine Oops...sorry, very spotty connection on this train
It could be that you need some forward declarations for these types. 13:49
type.rakumod comes before code.rakumod in tools/templates/raku_ast_sources 13:50
ab5tract will plain old stubbing do? or do I need to do some fancy nqp magic 13:52
strangely enough, it does DWIM when I pass it an honest `RakuAST::Code` 13:56
a la `subset F where { $_ == 5 }` 13:57
FWIW, '-> Str $w where *.comb == 1 { say $w }("w")'' fails with the new frontend: 'This type cannot unbox to a native integer: P6opaque, WhateverCode' 13:59
okay, well I'm pretty stoked to have gotten subsets semi-working :D 14:00
current issues:
1) WhateverCode doesn't work
2) It doesn't work with parameters
nine Ok, disrecard the subbing thing. The RakuAST compiler does that already 14:12
And other classes like BeginTime refer to RakuAST::Code without doing anything special
14:16
~,~.
ab5tract ah! `* ~~ 5` is not a RakuAST::Code, its a RakuAST::ApplyInfix 14:17
Nemokosch very fortunate; it would make typegenning for s/// and m// smartmatches to something other than ACCEPTS 14:19
ab5tract Nemokosch: I don't totally understand what you mean 14:20
tellable6 ab5tract, I'll pass your message to Nemokosch
Nemokosch sorry, this was somewhat off-topic 14:23
simply put, I'm very unhappy with the way 'foo' ~~ m/o/ and the likes work. Not the outcome per se but the technical implications of it 14:24
and the way RakuAST is designed could help saving the end-user behavior without the bizarre implications 14:25
nine Pro tip: when connected to the Wifi on a German train, set wireguard MTU to something smaller! 14:27
ab5tract: * ~~ 5 needs to be thunked 14:28
"thunking" basically means wrapping it in a block, so it becomes a code object 14:29
But then I see you already have code that should do that
Btw. your visit-children is incomplete. It's missing 2 children. All RakuAST nodes stored in your node must be visited 14:36
ab5tract good to know! 14:44
nine: something is broken with the current thunking WRT to WhateverCodes. The place I lifted my "thunking" from (signature's handling of where) is also broken for whatevercodes 14:45
shouldn't I be able to simply call $!expr.IMPL-CURRY ? 14:46
nine I am less than surprised :D 14:47
Currying should be done automatically by BEGIN handlers.
It's quite possible that we don't curry everything yet. Only infixes and postcircumfixes AFAIK 14:50
ab5tract infixes should cover Applyinfix, or is it just regular infixes at the moment? 15:11
nvm, I can look into the source :) 15:12
I can't see why this little thunk-wrapper isn't working as expected :/ 15:30
nine Of course it's always possible that the expectation is wrong 15:31
ab5tract how do you mean? 15:33
nine Maybe nothing. What t^Hdoes the QAST look like? 15:38
I see a big difference between the result of * == 5 and * ~~ 5 15:41
ab5tract indeed. There's a WVal(Regex) in the smartmatch 15:47
And both base and * == 5 include a 'QAST::Op(chain &infix:<~~>)' 15:48
(* == 5 includes 'QAST::Op(chain &infix:<==>) ', of course 15:49
15:50 AlexDaniel joined
nine Subset must not handle ApplyInfix any differently. If it needs to we have problems elsewhere 16:10

[Coke] AlexDaniel++ 17:28
ab5tract nine: Could the issue be that typename in Actions isn't attaching a RakuAST::Type::Subset? 17:41
unlike all the other type options, there is nothing from syntactically that we can use to distinguish whether the parameter type is a subset 17:43
eg, it checks for colonpairs and then creates types that care about definedness, coercive when there is $<accept>, etc 17:44
nine But you already verified that Subset's PERFORM-BEGIN gets called even for a parameter, didn't you? 17:46
Ah, wait, that made no sense. Declaration vs. use 17:47
ab5tract right, was just realizing that
nine When the name is resolved, you know that you got a Subset type
ab5tract the where block definitely doesn't get called for parameter
Do you mean nominal types won't resolve? Or am I misunderstanding you 17:48
ie, are you proposing a way to know whether to create a Subset vs creating a Simple? 17:49
nine subset Foo where * == 5; sub foo(Foo $i) { } 17:54
When we parse the definition of foo, we encounter parameter $i and its type. We then resolve the name "Foo" and get a RakuAST::Term::Name that is resolved to the RakuAST::Type::Subset 17:56
I.e. in RakuAST::Parameter $!type.resolution gives you that Subset node. And $!type.meta-object gives you a SubsetHOW object 17:57
In RakuAST::Parameter::IMPL-TO-QAST we already check whether a type is archetype definite or archetype generic. Maybe we need to be even smarter there 18:00

nine ab5tract: in the old frontend I see something about nominalizable types getting pushed as post constraint on parameters 18:16
src/Perl6/Actions.nqp:5956 18:17
And in :10073 we generate an ACCEPTS call for each post constraint that isn't just a literal 18:18
While in the current RakuAST implementation only $!where gets that treatment 18:19

not enough 18:47

nine lizmat: not sure it's worth it. But then I said the same about Stubs and you proved me wrong :) 23:11
ab5tract: inconsistent bind result appears when meta data (i.e. the Signature object) suggests a bind will be successful, but when we do the call, the parameter check fails 23:12
Nemokosch fyi I'm working on a fix for the map store breakage; for now it will probably be a quick-and-dirty solution, like moving the method declaration to Map might be enough 23:15
it would be good have systematic test cases for all possible storage scenarios which, if I can count, matches the nick of our beloved RakuAST expert 23:16
nine
.oO(how many cases are a jnthn full?)
 23:17
Nemokosch 🤣 23:18
tbh it could be organized into not more than three individual tests probably 23:20
nine ab5tract: so if I understood you correctly, it accepts an acceptable argument and refuses an unacceptable one but when refusing does so with an inconsistent bind result. Then the Parameter meta-object needs adjusting so it's clear the bind will not be successful.
Nemokosch storing a list with a Map, a Hash and a Hash::Object into a) a Map b) a Hash c) a Hash::Object
