eof is the a design document on the overall language grammar? 03:29
s/the /there /
Petr i cant find , when needed ... 03:30
eof there are several items that are explained as if they are a uniform self-contained construct but are clearly composed of many discrete lexemes such as the arbitrary base literals, which are presented as `:N<N>` while `:N('N')` will also work. This makes it rather difficult to write language support for editors...
of course, there are things like Perl6/Grammar.nqp 03:31
guifa I believe you're looking for STD.pm6 03:43
github.com/perl6/std/blob/master/STD.pm6
(I'm sure a Raku-renamed version is somewhere, but this grammar has been held to pretty well)
eof i think i can work off this 03:51
i think i may have run across it at some point
regardless, I need to refresh my understanding of some Raku grammar behaviors... 03:52

Xliff Hello! Precompilation has stopped working for me. 08:23
Meaning I am compiling compunits way too often.
I am unsing latest commit: v2021.09-277-gbc2cac136
lizmat Xliff: on master, spectest went back to Files=1349, Tests=117859, 346 wallclock secs 09:01
which is way better than Files=1349, Tests=117859, 616 wallclock a few commits back 09:02

lizmat moritz_ : could you also let Camelia run on #raku-beginner ? 10:28

moritz_ Oct 18 13:05:31 camelia bash[16842]: Server error occurred! Closing Link: camelia.detonation.org (This server is not accepting connections. Please reconnect to irc.libera.chat) 11:05
seems it doesn't work as well as I had hoped :-(
lizmat meh :-(
moritz_ there was an IPv6 address hard coded in the cameila config. Now trying with the FQDN instead. 11:32

first one is always slooow, maybe related to IRC rate limiting or so

moritz_ so they all say, and then I ask them to show me the function invocation object :D 11:48
El_Che defined? :)

ugexe Xliff: previously CURFS would load a module using a comp-unit-id that could be incorrect because it didn't account for changes in the repository chain. if you are now suddenly precompiling way too often i would guess you are changing the repo chain (adding -I's or `use lib ...`s) 11:54
Xliff ugexe: Yes, I am using -I when I need to make changes to upstream modules. 11:56
Which is unfortunately a very common case when developing this app server for $dayJob
Howver now, symbols are not getting recognized as well.
ugexe you could technically work around it by always passing the same -I's 11:57
i.e. always try to use the same repo chain
Xliff 'use B::I::Symbol; Symbol.new' <= now generates an error.
ugexe: The invocation is in a script which is what precompiles and executes. It is always the same -I list in the same order.] 11:58
ugexe and the script doesnt use `use lib ...`?
Xliff No
ugexe yeah i dunno then
Xliff Yeah. Figured that. New behavior over the last week. 11:59
ugexe i kind of wonder if you were somehow relying on buggy behavior
Xliff Last time I could run the app server was about this time last week. Not it won't run.
Let's see... I guess I can drop it back to...ff6951f59 12:00
?
But there was a crash bug for that so... later 12:01
ugexe for instance previous `perl6 -I foo1/ -I foo2/ -e '{ use Foo:ver<1>; say Foo::my-version(); }; { use Foo:ver<2>; say Foo::my-version(); }'` would print 1 twice instead of 1 2
because it was reusing the wrong precomp file
so its certainly possible there is new legit precompilation going on for you 12:02
Xliff Maybe I'll try 308d6856 and see if that works.
ugexe of course with how elaborate some of the things you appear to work on are it probably shouldnt surprise me if there is some weird edge case
12:02 reportable6 left
ugexe you'd want 8d1f24f or earlier 12:03
12:04 linkable6 left
ugexe you'll probably have to look at the RAKUDO_MODULE_DEBUG=1 output and determine what you think shouldn't be happening 12:05
i can give more insight then
Xliff ugexe: That's tricky ... cos github.com/rakudo/rakudo/issues/4570 12:10
Does 8d1f24f contain the fix?
I'd probably have to build from MoarVM in stages. 12:12
ugexe no, i made 3 revisions of my fix. that commit is prior to the first one
i dont see how it would help but i'd suggest s{/lib}{} where possible
i.e. -I. instead of -Ilib 12:13
point at the META6
Xliff There is no META6 for this project, as yet.
If I need to create one, I will
[Coke] Xliff: looks like 4570 was fixed?
Xliff [Coke]: Yes. In MoarVM
Howeever HEAD rakudo is now breaking things further for the same project. 12:14
ugexe Xliff, just revert the three commits by me from the last few days 12:22
Xliff ugexe: That's what I will try next after this last bit of debugging. 12:23
ugexe im trying it locally but i only got a few minutes before i need to get to other work 12:24
hmm, lots of dependencies im having to install one-by-one. maybe a meta6.json would be useful in that regard 12:30
Xliff ugexe: Thanks.
ugexe: There is an install-prereqs file
It's incomplete, you will need to add Method::Also and CompUnit::Util to the list
ugexe ah my moar-blead doesn't have the segfault fix 12:31
im out of time for now but if you could post the RAKUDO_MODULE_DEBUG=1 for when it works correctly vs incorrectly, as well as pointing out at what point you think its wrong, it would speed up my investigation 12:33
Xliff ugexe: if I have the time to do so, I will. 12:34
Thanks for all of the support.

guifa o.O 13:46
So after much wailing and gnashing of teeth, and flipping around different environments, etc. I think I finally tracked down the source of error (as well as fixed a ton of little calculation bugs that), and put simply, the bug may have nothing to do with new-disp, and somehow is caused by a difference in files generated by TZ's helper utility. Identical source files produced non-identical binary data files, the latter of which appear to b 13:54
truncated
lizmat yuck
problem with nulls in strings truncating ? 13:55
13:56 Sgeo joined
guifa I don't think so. The ZIC tool (converts a human readable format to binary) is pure C and when I run my updater script, it just downloads, compiles, and runs it, and I can't find any commits in their code that could result in different processing. 14:01
Hopefully I can find some time to build a bunch of different versions of ZIC and figure out where things went wrong — I can't imagine them having introduced such a radical bug and not have the mailing list blow up, so it's got to be something on me 14:03
14:05 reportable6 joined
guifa is mainly annoyed because he'd rather be having fun taking advantage of new-disp's fix on wraps lol 14:07

xinming_ SmokeMachine: in lib/Red/ResultAssociative.pm6 the method keys should returns(Any) instead of returns(Int), Because when people do DISTINCT, people do it on strings too. 14:52
DISTINCT on text too
Geth doc: 2d3d50c23b | (Peter du Marchie van Voorthuysen)++ (committed by Juan Julián Merelo Guervós) | 2 files
Document pop, shift, push and append more concisely

In the "Defined as" sections, use meaningful parameter names and omit multis that are implemented only for performance reasons. This should more clearly convey the intent of these routines.		 14:57
doc: 6686dfef35 | (Peter du Marchie van Voorthuysen)++ (committed by Juan Julián Merelo Guervós) | 2 files
Restore documentation of multis

All multi signatures found in the Rakudo implementation should be documented. Parameter names can be changed to fit the documentation.
doc: b2fa218803 | (Peter du Marchie van Voorthuysen)++ (committed by Juan Julián Merelo Guervós) | doc/Type/independent-routines.pod6
Restore a one-line example.

Not everybody agreed this example was redundant.
linkable6 Link: docs.raku.org/type/independent-routines
xinming_ Or maybe, We make it return Str, Which is more proper 14:58
[Coke] ^^ I disagree with the statement that "all multi signatures found... should be documented" - It's existence in Rakudo doesn't mean it's part of the spec. 15:19
I agree it's a decent first pass, however. 15:20
moritz_ if you have two signatures :($) and :($, $), you can also document it as :($, $?) 15:21
doesn't matter for the user that it's implemented as two multis
15:25 Xliff left
[Coke] Agreed. most tests in roast are checking to see if you get a certain behavior when you invoke a method, not that you get X methods with those signatures. 15:34
pandemic problems. new coworker (who is an ex coworker of mine as well!) wants to do a few hours in the local office... Guess who hasn't had to use his badge in 18 months and has no idea where it is today.. 15:37
SmokeMachine xinming_: yes, that makes sense, thanks! Would you mind to create a issue with that, please? 15:46

Kaiepi how will rakuast interact with existing slangs? 18:24
lizmat probably badly: they will probably need to be fixed when running 6.e 18:25
and possibly for lower language versions as well
Kaiepi i'm wondering because i have a Qw-like Quote slang i've been sitting on for a while that can be written without QAST, but idk if it's releasable or not before rakuast despite that 18:28
lizmat Kaiepi: that's a good question, I have no answer 18:33
