tellable6 2022-10-06T11:51:46Z #raku <lizmat> Nemokosch: fwiw, with static optimization enabled, a -1 will be codegenned as a WVal of -1
Nemokosch m: my @test = <1 2 3> X[&slip] <a b c>; dd @test; 10:15
camelia Array @test = [slip(IntStr.new(1, "1"), "a"), slip(IntStr.new(1, "1"), "b"), slip(IntStr.new(1, "1"), "c"), slip(IntStr.new(2, "2"), "a"), slip(IntStr.new(2, "2"), "b"), slip(IntStr.new(2, "2"), "c"), slip(IntStr.new(3, "3"), "a"), slip(IntStr.new(3, …
Nemokosch why can't it unroll the slips?
if I copy the output as a literal, that will unroll
using <== instead of = also doesn't help 10:17
lizmat I think the X metaop doesn't honor the special functionality of slip :-( 10:18
perhaps something we forgot in the GLR
this off the top of my hat 10:19
Nemokosch is there maybe a way to command a list to unwrap the slips inside? 10:20
lizmat mm: my @test = <1 2 3> X[&slip] <a b c>; dd @test.flat; 10:21

lizmat eh
meh
Nemokosch from what I see, the Scalar container shouldn't be a problem with slips 10:30
lizmat a Slip in a scalar container won't slip 10:33
m: my $a = (1,2,3).Slip; .say for $a
camelia 1

3
lizmat hmmm
Nemokosch m: dd [$(slip(1, 2)), $(slip(3, 4))] 10:34
camelia [1, 2, 3, 4]
lizmat hmmmmm
Nemokosch I don't know if that's two wrongs or one wrong but the behavior of X still seems magic 10:37
lizmat agree 10:41
Nemokosch it must be a data structure, though, because it can be copied/fed into other variables and it preserves the same format 10:47
it's stable in this regard

El_Che no irc in community on new site? 13:57

Nemokosch it's just like the current site 14:09
except the link was wrong, I already opened a PR for that
Rog ugexe: I’m on zef 0.13.8 14:22
Are you sure zef uses TMPDIR? I set that but it’s still downloading to the default location 14:26
14:28 dakkar left 14:29 Sgeo joined 14:34 habere-et-disper left
Changed it in the config file, but still getting the same error. Maybe it’s not a path length thing? 14:34

^^ seeing this on windows, btw.
btw, I was able to do my windows install with no errors (tried again today) 14:52
no change to tmpdir or anything.

tbrowder .tell tonyo FYI i've been beating my head about the formatter unique class issue and no matter what i do, the symbols leak into the scope of any using program. i am now using a random class name based on a modified uuid from module UUID::V4 since the class name doesn't actually show in user output. that seems to work well so far. 16:01
tellable6 tbrowder, I'll pass your message to tonyo
tonyo you mean trying to make them unique each time the generator is run?
tbrowder yes
16:02 Kernspin left
tonyo Okay, in a meeting so give me a few 16:04
tbrowder you or lizmat or other guifa (or other expert person) may be able to short cut my hack somehow, but it's good enough i think for me to finish the using module. 16:05
s/other guifa/guifa/ 16:06
perryprog there's multiple guifas?!
tbrowder not afaik, hence the attempted correction 16:08

ugexe Rog: i think the TMPDIR= thing is gonna require a more recent version of zef 17:05
but yeah it might not be a path length thing. i'd probably try to run that synposis code example for Zef::Extract and maybe print out the command being used so you can run i by hand 17:06
tonyo .tell tbrowder you can remove the `use nqp;` and the `nqp::clone` call and it will still work fine 17:30
tellable6 tonyo, I'll pass your message to tbrowder
tbrowder ok, i;; 17:31
erg, i'll try it...

guifa tbrowder trust me I understand that. I do so much rewriting, at a certain point I need to just settle for good enough lol 21:54
hythm is there a rakuish way to delete a file at the exit of a program (the file should be deleted in all cases, if the program ended normally or due to unhand-led exception)? 21:55
tbrowder 👍🏻
guifa: ^^^ 21:56
21:56 melezhik joined
melezhik o/ 21:56
tbrowder \o
hythm m: my $file will end { .unlink } = '/tmp/file'.IO ## doesn't work but I mean something like this 21:57
camelia Some exceptions were thrown in END blocks:
X::Method::NotFound: No such method 'unlink' for invocant of type 'Any'

melezhik I am reconsidering all my previous experience with Sparrow and creating a design draft for SparrowCI - completely new CI system built on top of Sparrow/Sparky - ideas, comments are welcome - github.com/melezhik/SparrowCI
all low level building blocks are already in place , so it'll be relatively easy to build a new system, however I want to spend to more time on end user API 21:58
21:58 labster left
melezhik this is where I'd need help from community 21:58
the main idea this is going to be completely language agnostic system with many languages support, built however with Raku. ... 21:59
tbrowder melezhik: i wish i had time to set up and use yr stuff because it would help ease the burden of multi remote servers for sure. good luck. i’m still going thru recent raku con video stuff. did you do one on sparky and friends? 22:01
melezhik I did one on Tomtit, not Sparky/Sparrow however, Tomtit would give one a sense of Sparrow 22:02
lizmat hythm: END $file.unlink 22:04
hythm: END (ENTER my $file = $*TMPDIR.add("foo")).unlink 22:05
tbrowder melezhik: thnx 22:06
hythm lizmat thanks, that worked. 22:12
 I tried that before and it wasn't working for me. but I have explicit `exit 1` inside the CATCH block, that is probably the reason why the file wasn't deleted when an exception occur 22:14
after removing the explicit `exit` the file got deleted 22:15
22:16 habere-et-disper left
lizmat m: END say "goodbye"; CATCH { say "caught"; exit }; die 22:17

goodbye
lizmat hythm: that's strange, that should have worked
hythm will try to do a gist and if confirmed will create an issue 22:18
lizmat ++hythm
22:19 melezhik left
hythm sorry for the confusion, I was using `LEAVE` not `END` 22:22
m: LEAVE say "goodbye"; CATCH { say "caught"; exit}; die
camelia caught
lizmat yeah, exit does bypass LEAVE, not END 22:26
hythm got it, thanks 22:27
lizmat m: LEAVE say "goodbye"; CATCH { say "caught"}; die # just don't do exit
camelia caught
Died

hythm another question, when I use something like `END self.some-method()` I get an error for the first run only, and no error for subsequent runs `X::Method::NotFound: No such method 'some-method' for invocant of type 'VMNull'`. is there a way to avoid that error? 22:33
lizmat: unfortunately I need to use exit to specify the exit code 22:35
