dwarring LibXML's t/11memory.t seems to suddenly running, much better, just since since the 2021.08 release and blead 00:44
tellable6 2021-08-05T00:43:49Z #raku <Xliff> dwarring Thanks!
dwarring test is disabled by default and needs to have environment variables set to run it:
(export AUTHOR_TESTING=1 MEMORY_TEST=1; prove -e'raku -I.' -v t/11memory.t) 00:45
results...
on 2021.08: Total Mem Increase:64116 kB, Avg-Objects:873, Lost:719 Objects (0.25%) 00:46
on v2021.08-8-g5492452b2: Total Mem Increase:5612 kB, Avg-Objects:101, Lost:14 Objects (0.00%) 00:47
The count is of LibXML native objects, which get freed when DESTROY is called 00:48
call to DESTROY isn't being missing and is tending to get called earlier 00:49
leading to flatter memory usage and fewer live objects

dwarring test was ported from Perl, btw 00:52

kybr if i have the name of a method as a string in $method, how might i call that method on $foo ? 00:57
00:57 pisa joined
dwarring $foo."$method"() 00:58
pisa hi, is there some advice for raku binding for c++ template ?
kybr dwarring: wow. thanks
dwarring: wow. thanks 00:59
dwarring I haven't used the c++ bindings myself 01:04
I do know you want to use the CPPStruct representation
class C is repr('CPPStruct') {...} 01:05
some tests in github.com/rakudo/rakudo/blob/mast...mangling.t
That should automatically mangle Raku method names to C++ symbols 01:06
pisa that test just for CPPStruct repr, but no template 01:12

dominix hi everyone, quick question, what do you guy have as newsfeed regarding Rakulang ? 01:46
tellable6 2020-09-28T01:49:13Z #raku <tbrowder> dominix: what kind of package sys does clear linux use? is it fedora or debian based?
2020-09-28T01:56:01Z #raku <tbrowder> dominix: never mind. i see the problem i would have with clear linux. i, being retired, would have the luxury of telling my client "no" to clear linux, but he's paying for that agony.
2020-09-28T01:57:37Z #raku <tbrowder> dominix: but your client wants you to use raku? maybe client will pay for a clear linux raku pkg.
2020-09-28T08:08:22Z #raku <El_Che> dominix It looks like Clear Linux uses flatpack as pkg format. Timotimo just release a rakudo release oin that format
2020-09-28T08:15:54Z #raku <El_Che> dominix: nevr mind about the flatpack. However precompiled non-pkg release can be found here: github.com/nxadm/rakudo-pkg/releas.../v2020.09, just untar-gzip this: rakudo-pkg-mooarvm-2020.09-01-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
kybr how about if i wanted to get a reference to the function/method with the string name in $function? 01:49
timo that depends on how you can reach it. it mayb e enough to just get my $func-obj = ::($function) 01:50

lizmat Am I going crazy or is Twitter all of a sudden equating #raku with Camelia? twitter.com/search?q=%23raku&s...amp;f=live 10:41
keutoi Most of the uses of #raku seem to be either pottery or rakuten 10:46
lizmat yes, and that's fine, but *I* only see tweets with Camelia in them now :-) 10:50
El_Che_ that's why someone on twitter is consistently adding #rakulang to all conversations :P
She shall not be named 10:51
10:51 patrickb joined
lizmat twitter.com/search?q=%23raku%20-ca...amp;f=live # only #raku 10:52
FWIW, I love pottery in general 10:53
and Raku pottery even more so
having lived with a potter for 5 years made me appreciate the inspiration and sweat that goes into making pottery 10:54
not unlike the Raku programming language, actually :-) 10:55
El_Che_ but with less drama :P 10:56

raydiak wrt stackoverflow.com/questions/687619...-execution fwiw I don't agree with the existing behavior. imo, arguments should be evaluated in source order regardless of R metaop 13:04

raydiak lizmat: wrt rakudoweekly.files.wordpress.com/2...5847-1.jpg maybe after the 15th iteration in 2 years its time to change the default post image? even though I do understand and identify with the symbolism :) 13:12
lizmat raydiak: yeah, was thinking about that... haven't been able to come up with a suitable replacement yet 13:13
raydiak no great idea here either, though off the top of my head I think of a bunch of people with ores rowing a boat 13:16
not exciting enough though 13:17
people rowing a boat over the edge of a waterfall is more exciting, but the connotations are a bit negative 13:19

tib lizmat ++ 13:31
raydiak one real idea, perhaps something similar to thisadventurelife.com/wp-content/u...8/para.png would be appropriate and resonate with our predominantly european community? 13:34
lizmat++ thank you as always for the weekly
lizmat raydiak: that does not convey the feeling of "we're all in this together" 13:35
at least not to me
raydiak hm. does but doesn't. I do see what you're saying
13:36 Sgeo joined
raydiak they're all doing the same thing in the same direction, but independently. whether that's more appropriate or less, is a matter of opinion :) 13:37
anyway, that's all I had for now. been up all night. good * lizmat and #raku o/ 13:38

moon-child lizmat: any idea about the error message there? 19:11
kybr lizmat: thank you. i need to look into what ::() does. yesterday i had a question about how to get a reference to a built-in function/method given its name as a string. 19:12
lizmat m: BEGIN my $op = "+"; infix:«$op»(2, 3).say
camelia 5
lizmat moon-child: apparently the $op is interpolated at compile time if you write it like that
so that's before the "+" assignment, hence the error message 19:13

tbrowder wow, i see tonyo just took care of 2 issues as i asked him about a new one! what a meeting of interests! 22:53
i don't know why jmerelo hasn't been on irc in a long time, but i know he is very busy with his $dayjobS (note the plural) 22:56
i wish he were here to talk about public-facing docs. i still don't like it that documentable doesn't properly consider user desires of alpha sorting of topics on major groups on the Language page. 22:59

Explain behavior of non-alphanumerics in <[ ]>

The docs previously mentioned that you can use \ to escape characters inside <[ ]> ; this commit adds the fact that you don't need to escape most non-alphanumeric characters the way you do in the portion of a regex outside <[ ]> and that you must escape (rather than quote) characters inside <[ ]> for them to have their literal meaning.		 23:02
