diakopter |
masak: I think that's the wrong perspective ("widely different world views")... where the rubber meets the road, what are the substantive, tangible differences? |
| 00:14 |
diakopter |
s/the wrong/an incorrect/ |
| 00:14 |
chromatic |
I can only think of one, and it's philosophical. |
| 00:16 |
masak |
Infinoid: #perl6 is enough, but #november-wiki is more important to me. |
| 00:16 |
chromatic |
Perl 5 adopted and spread Unix and Unix cultural inconsistencies to make the language more palatable to existing Unix users. |
| 00:17 |
masak |
diakopter: I can assure you I felt some tangible differences earlier this week. |
| 00:18 |
chromatic |
That might be a better way to phrase a similar idea though. Perl 5 has syntax compatibility with Perls 1 through 4. Perl 6 intends to provide the same Perlish nature with different syntax. |
| 00:18 |
Infinoid |
masak: can do. thanks |
| 00:18 |
masak |
Infinoid: thank _you_. |
| 00:18 |
masak |
chromatic: and different semantics. |
| 00:18 |
masak |
it's not just a surface change. |
| 00:19 |
chromatic |
Depends how deep you want to get into world views. |
| 00:19 |
masak |
one of the things I was asked on #perl was "can I still do <simple hello-world one-liner>?" |
| 00:19 |
masak |
I explained the syntactical differences, and got back a "so, no." |
| 00:19 |
masak |
that neatly summarizes my stay there. :) |
| 00:20 |
chromatic |
Baffling. |
| 00:20 |
diakopter |
I'm reluctant to let #perl (magnet or freenode or oftc or efnet or wtf other network) define the Perl 5 community |
| 00:21 |
masak |
oh, sure. |
| 00:21 |
masak |
I don't think for a moment they're some sort of average Perl 5 community member. |
| 00:21 |
chromatic |
Hence my concern for stage 2. |
| 00:22 |
pmichaud |
they may not be average, but they're surely vocal/visible :) |
| 00:22 |
masak |
yes, that's what distinguishes them. |
| 00:23 |
chromatic |
Maybe. Maybe we overestimate how vocal and visible most of us are to the wide world of Perl programmers. |
| 00:23 |
masak |
also, they type much faster than people on #perl6, because, as s1n++ pointed out "they don't have to think". :) |

i had the pleasure of explaining to someone last night what is going on with NQP-rx. they looked a bit disturbed |
| 01:16 |
dukeleto |
to someone that had not kept up with perl 6 in a few years |
| 01:16 |
japhb |
What did you tell them? |
| 01:16 |
dukeleto |
japhb: that we will have flying cars soon ;) |
| 01:16 |
masak |
why did they look disturbed? |
| 01:16 |
masak |
I mean, I thought everyone knew about Perl 6 and the flying cars. |
| 01:17 |
dukeleto |
japhb: just explained the reasoning for NQP and how it recently got a bunch of new features |
| 01:17 |
japhb |
ah |
| 01:17 |
dukeleto |
masak: i think the disturbedness was from not realizing how much has changed |
| 01:17 |
masak |
can someone help me see what I'm doing wrong here? note the indenting of the last M. http://gist.github.com/233491 |
| 01:17 |
dukeleto |
normal people seem to look at me like I have 3 eyes when I explain what NQP is to them for the first time |
| 01:18 |
masak |
dukeleto: I think most people are in that situation. Perl 6 is a black box. |
| 01:18 |
* japhb |
has been spending a lot of time keeping up with improvements to NQP-rx ... and pushing for even more. ;-) |

Just because you guys are talking about it, what -is- the purpose of NQP? |
| 01:25 |
arnsholt |
(I think I know, but now I'm not sure any more =) |
| 01:26 |
dukeleto |
arnsholt: it is a very easy to parse, fast-to-run subset of Perl 6 |
| 01:26 |
japhb |
arnsholt, what dukeleto said ... and yet, powerful enough to write other languages in (cleanly) |
| 01:26 |

nihiliad joined #perl6 |

arnsholt: it is a bootstrap language for Rakudo to be written in, and it is used in Parrot core as well, for our parsing engine (Parrot Compiler Toolkit) |

Yeah. Essentially for bootstrapping Perl 6, no? |

arnsholt, NQP is also used to implement Plumage |
| 01:28 |
japhb |

NQP is probably going to be the new language to write HLL's in |

Okay, now I'm confused |

I can't find the action method for infix:sym<~~> in NG |
| 07:46 |
moritz_ |
I don't think there's necessarily an action method for every infix operator |
| 07:48 |
moritz_ |
if there's no, it'll probably dispatch to infix:<~~> |

mst++ and masak++ for very constructive input regarding the relationship between Per 5 and Perl 6 |

I'm going to stop describing Perl 6 as the next version of Perl |
| 10:29 |
mberends |
I also think, seeing the problems mentioned, that we should seriously consider renaming Perl 6 to something else, for example Camelia |
| 10:30 |

in my everyday lingo I usally say "rakudo perl" |
| 10:32 |

mberends: Is it not true then? |
| 10:33 |
mberends |
Su-Shee: Rakudo is only one *implementation*, remember the others too. |
| 10:33 |
Juerd |
Really, if Perl 6 isn't supposed to supersede Perl 5 (eventually), then the name with a version number makes even less sense. |
| 10:33 |
mberends |
Juerd: +1 |
| 10:33 |
Su-Shee |
mberends: I know, but interestingly, it sneaked into my wording. somehow, it feels natural. there's perl and there's rakudo perl. |
| 10:34 |
Su-Shee |
mberends: like british english and us english. |
| 10:34 |
mberends |
haha |
| 10:36 |
Juerd |
I wish I could convince myself to just say "Rakudo" when I mean Perl 6. |
| 10:36 |
huf |
it's not good enough of a name |
| 10:37 |
huf |
it's fine for a compiler, but not for the language |
| 10:37 |
huf |
it's too damn long for one |
| 10:37 |
Juerd |
Well, it's not the name of the language. But people will use it as if it is, anyway. :) |
| 10:38 |
Juerd |
No, "Visual Basic" and "ECMA Script" are too long. |
| 10:38 |
Juerd |
Rakudo isn't |
| 10:39 |
Su-Shee |
why don't we leave it to the natural evolution of language what "it" eventually will be dubbed? :) |
| 10:39 |
huf |
Juerd: it's 3 syllables. that's an eternity. you need something with at most 2, preferably 1 ;) |
| 10:40 |
huf |
or is that 'u' silent? |
| 10:40 |
Juerd |
Su-Shee: Because there is no such evolution just yet, but the current naming is causing confusion. |
| 10:42 |
carlin |
Call it Klingon; we have phasers, blorsts, borgs and nqp-rx is alien technology ... so it fits |
| 10:42 |
Su-Shee |
huf: no, slightly muted in japanese. the u isn't spoken very clear. |
| 10:43 |
Su-Shee |
carlin: and eigenstates. |
| 10:43 |
Juerd |
carlin: Well it wouldn't help to pick *another* already-existing name. |
| 10:44 |
carlin |
Google did ;-) |
| 10:44 |
Juerd |
Did it help? |
| 10:44 |
moritz_ |
notreally |
| 10:45 |
Su-Shee |
now that I think of it .. before I already usally said "pugs perl". |
| 10:45 |
Su-Shee |
moritz_: if you speak german, what do you call it? |
| 10:45 |
moritz_ |
"Perl Sechs" |
| 10:45 |
Su-Shee |
hm. ok. |
| 10:46 |
moritz_ |
or just "Perl", depending on context :-) |

phenny: tell masak over the weekend I might find the time to write something about the relation between Perl 5 and Perl 6. Do you think it's a good idea to step forward with this, or rather wait a bit more? |

phenny |
moritz_: I'll pass that on when masak is around. |
| 10:53 |
* moritz_ |
already has a conjectural title: "A bright future for Perl 5 and Perl 6" |
| 10:53 |
Juerd |
It would be the nth writing about Perl 5<->6 |
| 10:53 |
huf |
call it perl6i, that way it's not larger than perl5 ;) |
| 10:53 |
Juerd |
And someone googling will find all the different ones, that were written over time. |
| 10:55 |
moritz_ |
is that an argument for or against anything? |
| 10:56 |
Juerd |
Argument for amending historic posts, mostly |
| 10:56 |
Juerd |
Which is practically impossible. |
| 10:56 |
moritz_ |
well, I can only ammend what I have access to |
| 10:56 |
Juerd |
And it's silly all over the place. |
| 10:56 |
moritz_ |
and hope that I get a decent google ranking |
| 10:56 |
Juerd |
But then, so is the whole issue. |
| 10:56 |
moritz_ |
silly, but important |
| 10:57 |
Juerd |
Important? Do you think that it's even possible to convince the average programmer that 6 !> 5? |
| 10:57 |
moritz_ |
I think it's important to reduce the bad blood between the 5 and 6 communities |
| 10:57 |
Juerd |
The values of numbers are too much set in stone to ever change how people will see it. |
| 10:58 |
Juerd |
I don't think bad blood that is still there, can be reduced by clarifying the relation. Which is not meant to discourage you - by all means, please do try. |

I guess it's just 'cus I'm British, but Austrian and German look terribly alike to me even in their non-flipped forms. |

re-reading the mst privmsg discussion, I see that he has a concept in his mind called 'the new wave of CPAN'. could someone tell me more about that? |
| 14:37 |
PerlJam |
you'll probably have to ask mst about the stuff that's in his head :) |
| 14:37 |
colomon |
If I remember correctly, my impression was that he was talking about things like Catalyst and Moose. |
| 14:38 |
colomon |
CPAN projects that are the product of active development communities rather than just isolated hackers. |
| 14:38 |
PerlJam |
colomon: If I had to guess, I'd say it has something to do with Moose and the Mooseification of CPAN. |
| 14:39 |
masak |
is it somehow related to "Enlightened Perl" and "Modern Perl"? |
| 14:39 |
PerlJam |
(I don't see how Catalyst would come into play really other than it's an example) |
| 14:39 |
colomon |
an example, exactly. |
| 14:40 |

masak: modern perl is the chromatic stuff; enlightened perl is the organization to which mst is related afaik. |

Su-Shee: so it's possible that "Enlightened Perl" is related to "the new wave of CPAN"? |
| 14:41 |

posits that speculation is less useful than asking mst directly |

But then, I admit I'm trying to read mst's mind, and I can't begin to understand why someone would choose perl 5 over a properly functional perl 6, so I may not be the right person to understand him. |

let me phrase is that way: the contemporary perl 5 seems to evolve perfectly fine with moose and family and moving towards p6 without breaking old stuff and with all the flexibility CPAN has to offer. so, think along the lines "why p6 instead?" |
| 14:42 |
Su-Shee |

Su-Shee: yes. believe me, I understand that train of thought. :) been talking to mst lately. |

that one is a little trickier to imagine. do we have a short example? |

jnthn |
pmichaud: It feels like precedence. |
| 14:56 |
arnsholt |
colomon: Indeed. My particular fave, being a linguist with a penchant for formalisms, is the grammar stuff |

mine is the "compactness" of writing code. |

Reading the spec made me think along the lines of, "Why hasn't anyone thought of this before?!" |
| 14:56 |

Symbol '$b' not predeclared in &foo |

jnthn |
I think that is the really incriminating one. :-) |
| 14:57 |
pmichaud |
easiest is to look at the parse tree |
| 14:57 |
arnsholt |
Ain't that the truth. And just like regexes in Perl 5, it's very excellent that the syntax is integrated in the language |
| 14:57 |
colomon |
arnsholt: and proper classes and operator overloading and metaoperators... it's like a dream come true for me. |
| 14:58 |
jnthn |
Sorry, that last one isn't confused, it gives the error I showed... |
| 14:58 |
PerlJam |
what does <EXPR('i=')> mean exactly? |
| 14:58 |
|
orafu joined #perl6 |
| 14:58 |
pmichaud |
parse down to the 'i=' precedence level |
| 14:58 |
pmichaud |
which (as defined above) should be item precedence |
| 14:58 |
jnthn |
pmichaud: Yes, parse tree shows that it's swallowed up the "1, $b" |
| 14:59 |
pmichaud |
so whenever the operator precedence parser encounters a token with a precedence of i= or below, it should stop. |
| 14:59 |
arnsholt |
Reading the spec on metaoperators was fun as well. Insane stuff |
| 14:59 |
jnthn |
where it = default_value |

In my mind, if I have to pick one thing that makes Perl awesome, it's the influence from functional programming |

about the endless Go discussion: i thought jnthn might find this interesting: http://golang.org/doc/go_lang_faq.html#overloading |
| 15:06 |
jnthn |
Woodi: The answer is that we don't know the full answer to that question yet. Perl 6 provides a bunch of places for declarative parallelism (junctions, hyper-operators, etc). async blocks for spawning threads seem to be commonly recognized as likely. STM has been posited, but may or may not be the way to go. Part of the problem is that we just don't have an implementation where we can actually experiment with this stuff yet. |

someone refresh my memory on how foo {*} #= bar works. As soon as "foo" is parsed, a method named for the rule within which foo appears is fired with 2 args $/, and "bar" yes? |
| 15:30 |
[particle] |
correct |
| 15:30 |
[particle] |
in old nqp. std doesn't use #= anymore, and i don't know if nqp-rx uses it |
| 15:31 |
jnthn |
Yes, it's still available. |
| 15:31 |
jnthn |
We use it in maybe one or two places in Rakudo's grammar in ng. |
| 15:31 |
jnthn |
(Where we want to pop into the action method at somewhere other than at the end of the rule.) |
| 15:31 |
[particle] |
that makes sense, because otherwise it wouldn't be drop-in replacement |

Yes, there's that angle too. :-) |

I don't remember where I read it or what, but there was some company that had a bad reputation and they did a study on how much they'd have to spend to fix it. The study concluded that they could spend their entire marketing/advertizing budget on it for the next 100 years before it would make a dent in public perception. |
| 15:44 |
PerlJam |
Their solution was to change names. (which worked) |
| 15:44 |
PerlJam |
As long as perl 6 isn't irrevocably damaged, we shouldn't change the name IMHO |
| 15:45 |
diakopter |
or break it up into a bunch of littler pieces with more functionally descriptive names. |

PerlJam: you mean for all the other 3458604396 perls coming up next week? :) |

perhaps what we could lightly suggest is that Perl 5 get an additional "tag name" (more) |
| 15:49 |
PerlJam |
(unless that's the goal, shift all the bad vibes to a new name and then abandon the name) |
| 15:49 |
pmichaud |
there's already Vanilla Perl, Strawberry Perl, etc. |
| 15:49 |
PerlJam |
Perl 6 == Ueber Perl |
| 15:49 |

in the case of Perl 6, we refused to have an official Perl 6 -- so we have Rakudo, Pugs, Elf, etc. |

* Su-Shee |
already says rakudo perl in every day talks about perl 6. |
| 15:49 |
PerlJam |
Perl 6 == Super Perl (comes with a cape and theme music) |
| 15:50 |
pmichaud |
maybe (and I do mean *maybe*) perl 5 could start doing distributions as well |
| 15:51 |
PerlJam |
perl is already chopped up for linux dists, we might as well exert a little control over that process by doing the chopping ourselves |
| 15:51 |
Woodi |
Perl 6 is like ISO standard.. Rakudo is like GCC.. |
| 15:51 |
PerlJam |
(at least that's how I'd pitch it to p5p) |
| 15:51 |
pmichaud |
perhaps the conversations could shift away from "Perl 5 versus Perl 6" to things like "Rakudo Perl versus Strawberry Perl" ? |
| 15:51 |
pmichaud |
which more explicitly recognizes that different distributions would be more suitable to different applications |
| 15:52 |

re: 'That doesn't solve the problem that the language still needs a name.' - okay. how about CORE, since that's what the setting calls itself |

I love ternary! |

I can uncomment a bunch of stuff. |
| 16:49 |
jnthn |
pmichaud: I seem to haz a fail in "is copy"...after fixing that, Rat might work. |
| 16:49 |
pmichaud |
[particle]: you mean that goes into the parrot repo? I think we should have the sources themselves as separate files. |
| 16:50 |
pmichaud |
the purpose of having the original source is so that parrot could fix a minor bug independent of the nqp-rx repo |
| 16:50 |
pmichaud |
so for that, the actual files are better |
| 16:51 |
[particle] |
ok, then how about line# annotations? |
| 16:51 |
colomon |
jnthn: Is there any real reason for "is copy" to be there in the Rat constructor? I know pmichaud did that, but I never understood why... |
| 16:52 |
jnthn |
pmichaud: Because it modifies the gcd |
| 16:52 |
jnthn |
gah, wrong sentence, wrong nick |
| 16:52 |
jnthn |
colomon: Because we use gcd and then modify $numerator in the routine. |
| 16:53 |
colomon |
jnthn: that makes perfectly good sense. (Though I think the is copy was there before the GCD routine was...) |
| 16:53 |
jnthn |
colomon: Aye. I'm not sure 100%, there may well be a reason. |
| 16:54 |
jnthn |
pmichaud++ tends to have reasons for doing things :-) |
| 16:54 |
colomon |
He may have just expected the gcd bit would be coming soon... |
| 16:54 |
jnthn |
maybe ;-) |
| 16:55 |
pmichaud |
it's possible that I did copy to avoid attribute initialization problems also |
| 16:55 |
jnthn |
ah, ok |
| 16:55 |
pmichaud |
anyway, do whatever makes sense for the new implementation :) |
| 16:55 |
jnthn |
I'm lazy...dragging in code we know works makes sense to me. ;-) |
| 16:55 |
pmichaud |
unless that code was based on cheats or incorrect assumptions, though |
| 16:56 |
jnthn |
oh crap...I broke the build I think. |
| 16:57 |
jnthn |
pmichaud: Is the rw flag just "rw" or "$!rw"? |
| 16:57 |
pmichaud |
I think it's just "rw" right now |
| 16:57 |
jnthn |
And does it have to be a true value, or just non-null? |
| 16:57 |
pmichaud |
I'm fine with switching it |
| 16:57 |
pmichaud |
I think we want it to be true |
| 16:57 |

pmichaud |
[particle]: aren't the line numbers in the source already? |
| 16:59 |
[particle] |
maybe i missed them. i'm looking at a diff of nqp-rx in the parrot repo, and it's impossible to see what actually changed |
| 16:59 |
pmichaud |
yes, it's very hard to see the changes from the source diffs |
| 16:59 |
pmichaud |
if we had the full source tree there, it'd be easy to see. |
| 16:59 |
[particle] |
yes, that's true |
| 16:59 |
pmichaud |
but seeing changes in generate code is likely to be really hard no matter what we do. |
| 17:00 |
[particle] |
it would be easier for me to search for /^[-+]#/ |
| 17:00 |
[particle] |
that's why i suggested the comments, but source is easier still |
| 17:01 |
pmichaud |
well, the line numbers generally appear as '.annotate "line", ##' |
| 17:01 |
pmichaud |
although I might not have the source files in place yet |
| 17:01 |

class Foo { }; multi bar(Foo $x) { }; bar(Foo.new) # fail - the loadinit that builds the class ends up coming after the one for building the signature of the sub. |
| 17:23 |
pmichaud |
huh? |
| 17:23 |
pmichaud |
that doesn't seem right. |
| 17:23 |
pmichaud |
loadinits are supposed to be generated in the same sequence the blocks appear in the tree |
| 17:23 |
pmichaud |
is something happening that causes the loadinits for class Foo to be attached to something other than its block? |
| 17:24 |
pmichaud |
oh |
| 17:24 |
pmichaud |
I know what it is |
| 17:24 |
pmichaud |
it's that the loadinit for bar() is being attached to its outer scope |
| 17:24 |
pmichaud |
because it's now lexical |
| 17:24 |
pmichaud |
we need to do the same for the module loadinits |
| 17:25 |
pmichaud |
(we'll have to do that when we get to lexical classes anyway) |
| 17:26 |
jnthn |
Yeah |
| 17:26 |
pmichaud |
so, instead of putting the class setup code on the .loadinit for its block, put it on the other block |
| 17:26 |
jnthn |
That'll be the fix. |
| 17:26 |
pmichaud |
that should fix it. |
| 17:26 |
jnthn |
*nod* |
| 17:26 |
pmichaud |
(and it'll be more correct when we do lexical classes) |

so can core.pm depend on the deps list too? |
| 19:07 |

that's a bit hard to do in a Makefile |

basically you need to make it depend on the Makefile |

| 19:17 |
jnthn |
pmichaud: OK, here's what I'm running into...maybe you know The Answer. |
| 19:17 |
jnthn |
pmichaud: I moved the decl code for the class into the enclosing package's loadinit. |
| 19:18 |
jnthn |
pmichaud: It fixes the issue I found, but we now have a new one. |
| 19:18 |
jnthn |
The init code for the method emits: |
| 19:18 |
jnthn |
get_hll_global $P367, ["Object"], "true" |
| 19:18 |
jnthn |
Which is handing back null, since we don't put the thing in the namespace (no nsentry) |
| 19:18 |
pmichaud |
"true" is wrong. |
| 19:18 |
jnthn |
Worse, the loadinit is looking it up that way too, rather than by subid. |
| 19:19 |
jnthn |
Trying to look it up in the namespace at all is wrong, no? |
| 19:19 |
pmichaud |
there is no "true" in the namespace |
| 19:19 |
pmichaud |
there is no "true" |
| 19:19 |
jnthn |
Right. |
| 19:20 |
jnthn |
That doesn't really help me. :-) |
| 19:20 |
pmichaud |
what is generating that code? |
| 19:20 |
pmichaud |
whatever is generating that statement is wrong. |
| 19:21 |
jnthn |
The PAST tree I build has the loadinit of the package containing the class we're declaring. |
| 19:21 |
jnthn |
It has a call to add_method, and that's where the PAST for the method is living. |
| 19:21 |
pmichaud |
let me restate what I think you just said (or intended to say) |
| 19:22 |
jnthn |
However, since the loadinit we're putting this into is outside of the namespace, we have to set .namespace on the methods's block. Otherwise, the method is in the wrong ns and "export" doesn't work. |
| 19:22 |
pmichaud |
okay |
| 19:22 |
pmichaud |
thinking |
| 19:23 |
jnthn |
However, then the call to add_method gets emitted with a get_hll_global. |
| 19:23 |
pmichaud |
the PAST tree you build is the one for the class declaration |
| 19:23 |
pmichaud |
yes? |
| 19:23 |
jnthn |
Yes. |
| 19:23 |
pmichaud |
it contains the add_method calls, yes? |
| 19:23 |
jnthn |
Right |
| 19:24 |
pmichaud |
and the add_method calls are also the things that handle is export |
| 19:24 |
pmichaud |
? |
| 19:24 |
jnthn |
No |
| 19:24 |
pmichaud |
I mean as part of the class declaration |
| 19:24 |
jnthn |
is export is done from the loadinit of the block itself. |
| 19:24 |
pmichaud |
oh |
| 19:24 |
pmichaud |
put the class declaration into its own block with an appropriate namespace setting. |
| 19:24 |
jnthn |
The thing is that is export, afaik, cares about what namespace it's called from. |
| 19:24 |
pmichaud |
(immediate block) |
| 19:24 |
jnthn |
Yes, that's what we used to do. |
| 19:24 |
pmichaud |
I'm saying do that again. |
| 19:25 |
pmichaud |
I'm saying there are two blocks |
| 19:25 |
pmichaud |
one for the class declaration, one for the package body |
| 19:25 |
pmichaud |
the class declaration one is executed at .loadinit |
| 19:25 |
pmichaud |
(as part of its outer package's .loadinit) |
| 19:25 |
jnthn |
Oh, you mean we call it from the outer package's .loadinit? |
| 19:25 |
pmichaud |
the package body one is treated like a normal bare immediate block |
| 19:25 |
pmichaud |
yes. |
| 19:25 |
jnthn |
Ah |
| 19:25 |
jnthn |
That would work, I guess. |
| 19:26 |
pmichaud |
the alternative is to find a way for the 'export' handler to figure out the namespace of the thing it's adding |
| 19:26 |
jnthn |
Yeah |
| 19:26 |
jnthn |
But unless it lives in that namespace...that's awkward |
| 19:26 |
pmichaud |
right |
| 19:26 |
pmichaud |
I feel more comfortable if the loadinit block lives in its own namespace |
| 19:26 |
jnthn |
Plus we actually for "our" scoped methods will want a namespace entry too. |
| 19:27 |
jnthn |
Yeah |
| 19:27 |
pmichaud |
we just invoke it from the other namespace's .loadinit |
| 19:27 |
jnthn |
Well, the block that loadinit calls, but yes. |
| 19:27 |
pmichaud |
to preserve the order-of-initialization |
| 19:27 |
jnthn |
Yup, which was the original problem I was trying to solve. :-) |
| 19:27 |

might be a good argument to be made that the P::C::Package should generate its own PAST::Block |
| 19:28 |

(that is then attached to the .loadinit of the outer package) |
| 19:28 |
pmichaud |
er, it's own *initializing* PAST::Block |

several items |
| 20:29 |
pmichaud |
since NQP and the regex engine are self hosted, the two grammars aren't 100% compatible |
| 20:29 |
pmichaud |
so using the old engine to compile a grammar with the new semantics doesn't quite work |
| 20:29 |
pmichaud |
so I have to get <abc=.def> to work first |
| 20:29 |
pmichaud |
then bootstrap |
| 20:30 |
pmichaud |
and then I can enable <abc=def> |
| 20:30 |
pmichaud |
with its new semantics |
| 20:30 |
jnthn |
oh! |
| 20:30 |
pmichaud |
so, all of the existing instances of <abc=def> have to be converted to <abc=.def> |
| 20:30 |
pmichaud |
then recompile |
| 20:30 |
pmichaud |
and re-bootstrap |
| 20:30 |
pmichaud |
then I can work on getting the new meaning of <abc=def> in place |
| 20:31 |
pmichaud |
but this means that <OPER=infix=infix> also has to work for <OPER=infix=.infix> |
| 20:31 |
pmichaud |
so it just gets a bit dicey |
| 20:31 |

the new implementation will be much cleaner with the new semantics; it's just getting from here to there that is tricky |

perhaps there's some relationship between packages and exportable lists |

I guess that's not very different from saying constants are "our" though |

TimToady: Why did constants become our scoped? |

We've been through enum element and role so far, so I guess constant is fine too. ;-) |

Anyway, I guess in that case, yes we'd like Bool::True to be visible. |
| 21:06 |
jnthn |
I wonder if part of the issue is that we're treating constant as a scope declarator. |
| 21:06 |
jnthn |
So we thus don't have the option or "our constant" or "my constant" |
| 21:06 |
TimToady |
they could be considered to be in the sub slot instead |
| 21:07 |
TimToady |
or equiv to the subset declarator |

The latter is more along the lines of what I was pondering. |

| 22:46 |
pmichaud |
that answer feels very wrong |
| 22:46 |
jnthn |
pmichaud: Well, the existence of the optimization at all could well be argued to be wrong... |
| 22:46 |
pmichaud |
it could be, yes. But I'm not sure it is (more) |
| 22:47 |
pmichaud |
the "optimization" is the only way to get to a :anon sub without using a constant lookup |
| 22:47 |
pmichaud |
i.e., for a long time, parrot's model was that one would get to an anon sub by name |
| 22:47 |
jnthn |
I'm not quite sure relying on a mis-applied optimization for a feature is a great plan... :-S |
| 22:48 |
jnthn |
pmichaud: You can do it by subid now, no? |
| 22:48 |
pmichaud |
put another way, assuming that 'foo'(3) always goes through the namespace isn't/hasn't been Parrot's model. |

jnthn: you can do it by subid by doing a constant lookup, yes. |

|
fax joined #perl6 |
| 22:48 |
pmichaud |
my point is that the change you're proposing almost absolutely requires a deprecation cycle |
| 22:49 |
pmichaud |
because the classic way to get to anonymous subs is through the "optimization" |
| 22:49 |
jnthn |
Ouch. |
| 22:49 |
pmichaud |
(it was the only way to do it before we had subid) |
| 22:49 |
jnthn |
*sigh* |
| 22:49 |
jnthn |
We've had subid for quite a while though. But yes, people may have come to rely on it. |
| 22:49 |
chromatic |
Let's see what the change breaks in Parrot's test suite first. |
| 22:50 |
pmichaud |
chromatic: that's reasonable, although I'm sure I've written a fair bit of code that uses :anon subs in exactly this way. |
| 22:50 |
jnthn |
pmichaud: Turns out whipping setting .name out of routine_def fixes the problem (but of course, causes other ones). |
| 22:51 |
jnthn |
pmichaud: I'm not quite sure what the next most desirable workaround is. |
| 22:51 |
pmichaud |
a flag on a sub that says "never short circuit to me" ? |
| 22:52 |
pmichaud |
or perhaps the existence of some other flag can indicate that |
| 22:52 |
jnthn |
I had thought :anon was such a flag, but now you've made me think again on that. |
| 22:52 |
pmichaud |
no, :anon is definitely *not* that flag :) |
| 22:52 |
pmichaud |
at least, not historically |
| 22:53 |
jnthn |
IMHO, the current semantics should be deprecated. But I can understand that they may need a deprecation cycle. |
| 22:54 |
pmichaud |
we're clearly talking subs here, not methods? |
| 22:54 |
jnthn |
Yes. |
| 22:54 |
pmichaud |
exported or no? |
| 22:54 |
pmichaud |
i.e., with the & sigil or no? |
| 22:54 |
jnthn |
The problem (and I went tracing through the multi-dispatcher before realizing this) is that we construct and install a Perl6MultiSub in &infix:<+> |
| 22:55 |
jnthn |
But then within core, calls to that are getting re-written to the top candidate. |
| 22:55 |
jnthn |
So we never - within core - enter the multi-dispatcher. |
| 22:55 |
jnthn |
It's actually not a problem outside of core, because it's a separate compilation unit. |
| 22:55 |
pmichaud |
ah, and they're being rewritten because the subs don't have :multi |
| 22:55 |
pmichaud |
the existence of :multi also disables the optimization, fwiw |
| 22:56 |
jnthn |
I guess maybe that woulda suppressed it too... |
| 22:56 |
jnthn |
hmm |
| 22:56 |
jnthn |
Not really sure I want to go that way though. |
| 22:57 |
jnthn |
But it explains why we've not hit this before. |
| 22:57 |
pmichaud |
we'd also end up fixing it if we turned them into lexicals (which needs to eventually happen to), but I think it's a bit premature to be doing that |
| 22:57 |
pmichaud |
*too |
| 22:57 |
jnthn |
oh, and then they're exported? |
| 22:58 |
jnthn |
Yeah, I fear so. |

Does it actually have to be done like that? |
| 22:58 |
pmichaud |
CORE is a lexical scope, yes. |
| 22:58 |
pmichaud |
it's not a package. |
| 22:58 |
jnthn |
ew |
| 22:58 |
jnthn |
OK. |
| 22:59 |
jnthn |
Actually, though, we still need to solve the general problem, or it'll impact user's code. |
| 22:59 |
pmichaud |
the nicest approach going forward (from the PIR side, not necessarily IMCC) would be to have a flag that says "don't optimize calls to this sub" |
| 22:59 |
pmichaud |
i.e,. to take it out of consideration for the optimization |
| 22:59 |
pmichaud |
of course, we'd end up using that flag on basically, everything. :) |
| 23:00 |
jnthn |
Yeah. |

| 23:00 |
pmichaud |
another way could be a pragma that turns off that particular optimization altogether in IMCC |
| 23:00 |
jnthn |
That could be cleaner. |
| 23:00 |
Wolfman2000 |
crying wolf? I don't like the sound of that |
| 23:00 |
masak |
Wolfman2000: it's about Armero, not about Web.pm :) |
| 23:00 |
pmichaud |
so IMCC defaults to its current behavior, but with the pragma in place it never performs the direct-call-to-sub optimization for things in the compilation unit |
| 23:00 |
pmichaud |
the pragma sounds bestish |
| 23:01 |
jnthn |
Alternatively, we teach PAST to never emit 'foo'() but always find_name... |
| 23:01 |
pmichaud |
I don't want to do that in PAST, though. |
| 23:01 |
pmichaud |
that removes a capability. |
| 23:01 |
jnthn |
Hm |
| 23:01 |
pmichaud |
We could set a flag in PAST that says to always do find_sub_not_null |
| 23:01 |
jnthn |
.oO( removes a bug ) |
| 23:01 |
jnthn |
;-) |
| 23:02 |
jnthn |
Yeah, we could do that but...well... |
| 23:02 |
pmichaud |
I'll do that if it's the best approach, but I'd prefer an imcc-level fix, since it's an imcc-level thing we're trying to address |
| 23:02 |
jnthn |
Yeah, agree. |

I really, really don't want a PAST-level flag for this. |

Anyway, the upshot is that we're going to kinda block on a resolution to this. |
| 23:04 |
jnthn |
Whichever one we end up going for. |
| 23:04 |
pmichaud |
chromatic: any opinions about an imcc pragma to disable this optimization versus other approaches? |

What's it actually called? CET or so? |

Central European Time? |
| 23:06 |
masak |
aye. |
| 23:06 |
jnthn |
It's called that in Sweden too? :-) |
| 23:06 |
masak |
CET is either GMT+1 or GMT+2 depending on season. |
| 23:07 |
masak |
jnthn: what are you implying? :P |
| 23:07 |
masak |
some parts of Sweden are Central European! |
| 23:07 |
jnthn |
masak: That there's a disconnect between the geographical region known as "central Europe" and the timezone. :-) |
| 23:07 |
pmichaud |
jnthn: I have to leave shortly -- can I leave it to you and chromatic to work out the details? If an imcc-level flag isn't likely, I'll see about a PAST fix of some sort. |
| 23:08 |
jnthn |
I guess there's more than one definition of Central Europe though :-) |
| 23:08 |
jnthn |
pmichaud: Can do. :-) |
| 23:08 |
pmichaud |
or you could just emit bogus subnames |
| 23:08 |
masak |
jnthn: given how the time zones span the Earth, I think a horizontal interpretation of Central is in order in this case. |
| 23:08 |
pmichaud |
and use :nsentry() |
| 23:09 |
masak |
s/a horizontal/an East-West/ |
| 23:09 |
jnthn |

that's one of my character flaws. |
