<kid51> jmcadams:  I just re-built and re-made Parrot on Darwin.  With one exception, all of the tests that failed for you are passing for me.
% particl1 is now known as particle
<kid51> Getting failure in t/examples/library.t.
<jmcadams> i did a distclean and am rerunning it all now
<kid51> But t/examples/library.t failure is probably left-over from a lot of work that Coke was doing this weekend on tests of .pir files.
<kid51> The file underlying the failure in library.t is examples/library/ncurses_life.pir.  AAMOF, Coke has got this marked as an expected failure.
<TimToady> @tell mncharity a heads-up: I'm moving the @fate parameter to the front of the arg list so that I can use the variadic part of the list to emulate named args under p5; can't also use variadic for @fate, so now it's a fixed arg

% cotto__ has joined #parrot
<davidfetter> hello
* jonathan is happy to see particle++ hacking on Rakudo :-)
<davidfetter> having heard 1/2 of allison's talk, i was wondering about how to use parrot machinery in grammars for other things
% cotto_ has left cotto_!~cotto@tide502.microsoft.com
<davidfetter> other things being my usual hobby elephant, postgres
<davidfetter> right now, pg uses flex and bison in a fairly byzantine fashion to do SQL
<jonathan> If you're embedding a Parrot, you'd be able to load PGE and run it to parse stuff.
<davidfetter> hrm
<tewk> PGE has gotta get a lot faster first :)
<davidfetter> pge?
<purl> pge is Parrot Grammar Engine, the regexp, er rule compiler or dealing with globs. or pacific gas & electric or (: pge park) or very smart in that it knows about bsr tailcalls or Portland General Electric
<jonathan> tewk: Yeah, tell me about it...building rakudo's action.pm takes a little while on my poor old laptop...
<PerlJam> Has anyone done any profiling to see where the bottlenecks are?
<jonathan> PerlJam: Not yet, but it would be a Good Idea.
<jonathan> Well, I'm not *aware* that anyone has, anyway.
<jonathan> Somebody may have but I never saw the results.
<PerlJam> yeah, even if whoever did the profiling doesn't have time to work on optimizing, it would at least give others the right places to look if they want to.
<jonathan> I think part of it is that PGE hasn't been hugely optimized yet, but I suspect Parrot slowness may well be part of it too.
<particle> even simple optimizations haven't been done to pge yet
<jonathan> OK, PGE hasn't been at all optimized then. :-)
<particle> eg boyer-moore
<jonathan> Sure.
<jonathan> Well, get it working, then get it fast, and all that lot.
<TimToady> that's part of why I'm working on the longest-token matcher
<particle> TimToady: i'm curious as to what you need in order for that to work in rakudo
<TimToady> I'm sure pge is doing a lot of thrashing trying to match rules that can't possibly match
<particle> i know pugs' speed is slowing you down
<PerlJam> particle: BM is more of a parrot-optimization isn't it?  And in light of unicode, I don't think it's that simple :)
<TimToady> well, that's what I'm trying to figure out  :)
<particle> it's want() all over again!
<TimToady> BM is for when you're scanning through lots of text for something
<TimToady> not for lexers
<TimToady> lexers always just want to know the next thing
<TimToady> probably the main thing pge will need to do is to make a way to pass a "fate" down that tells a rule how it's going to match when we already know from the lexer
<TimToady> I basically already know how to autogenerate the lexer, plus a set of fates for a given set of alternatives
% amoore has joined #parrot
<particle> cool.
<PerlJam> TimToady: there you go again speaking some language that looks remarkably like english, yet I still don't understand it.  :)
<TimToady> what makes you think I understand it?  :)
<PerlJam> besides, aren't there some instance where PGE does do something akin to "scanning through lots of text for something"?  Like balanced quoting constructs and such?
<jonathan> TimToady: Sounds like some interesting work; I get the basic idea, though I'm happy to spare my brain the details. :-)

<TimToady> PerlJam: even when you're scanning for a string terminator, it's usually just .*? followed by a lexer attempt for escapes
<TimToady> and escapes and the terminator are usually just single characters, for which BM does nothing
<particle> are there simple optimizations which you might suggest for pge?
<TimToady> I'm not familiar enough to know which optimizations it already tries
<particle> did you say trie? :)
<jmcadams> in t/perl/Parrot_IO.t i'm failing on a test:
<jmcadams>     161 $f = Parrot::IO::File->new( catfile( 'lib', 'Parrot', 'IO', 'File.pm' ) );
<jmcadams>     162 ok( $f->has_svn_id(), 'has_svn_id' );
<jmcadams> i'm pretty sure it's because I checked this out using git-svn
<jmcadams> any workarounds for this?
% silug has left silug!~steve@ppp-70-225-44-146.dsl.covlil.ameritech.net

% kid51 has left kid51!~jkeen@pool-71-247-51-110.nycmny.east.verizon.net
<jmcadams> jrockway: so, i see what you are doing... guess I need to do that when a '.git' file is present?
<particle> or create a has_git_id sub in Parrot::IO::File and also check for that
<particle> has_svn_id | has_git_id
<jmcadams> there isn't a git id that i know of?
<jrockway> i wouldn't stress myself out about the build system if i'm just hacking on some random part
<jrockway> Someone Else's Problem (tm) ;)
<jmcadams> of course, i'm fairly new to the git system
<particle> i don't know git, but there should be something to check for
<jmcadams> jrockway: i'm just randomly pushing buttons... no real goal
% peeps[work] has joined #parrot
<jrockway> git revision numbers are mostly meaningless
<jrockway> they're just the sha1sum of the current "commit" object
<particle> jmcadams: what do your source files say, on any line that starts with "$Id:"
<jmcadams>    2 # $Id$
<particle> ok, so they're not expanded
<jmcadams> yup
<particle> we need to skip that test (and possibly others) when the working copy isn't from svn
<jmcadams> what would be the best way to detect that?
<jmcadams> just a lack of .svn dirs everywhere?
<particle> Parrot::Config or Parrot::Distribution should provide a method to let you know if you're in an svn working copy
<particle> i don't know if there is one, but i think that parrot's configure process should store that info so it can be checked later
<particle> yeah, that method belongs in Parrot::Distribution
* jmcadams is looking
<particle> something like 'is_svn_co', 'is_git_co', or having 'co_type' return 'svn' or 'git'
<PerlJam> Why does parrot care if it's a subversion working copy?
<PerlJam> Just for the keyword expansion?
% GeJ has left GeJ!~geraud@edna.nealab.net
% GeJ has joined #parrot
<particle> some tests care
<particle> 'parrot' doesn't care.
<jmcadams> particle: is something like this what you were talking about:
<jmcadams>     161 SKIP:{
<jmcadams>     162     use Parrot::Distribution;
<jmcadams>     163     my $d = Parrot::Distribution->new();
<jmcadams>     164     skip 'This is not a subversion checkout', 1 unless $d->is_svn_co;
<jmcadams>     165     $f = Parrot::IO::File->new( catfile( 'lib', 'Parrot', 'IO', 'File.pm' ) );
<jmcadams>     166     ok( $f->has_svn_id(), 'has_svn_id' );
<jmcadams>     167 }
<jmcadams> the is_svn_co is just:
<jmcadams>     279 sub is_svn_co {
<jmcadams>     280     my $self = shift;
<jmcadams>     281     return $self->directory_exists_with_name('.svn');
<jmcadams>     282 }
<particle> jmcadams: looks like a good start. feel free to submit that as per docs/submissions.pod
<jmcadams> will do
<jmcadams> thanks
% jhorwitz has left jhorwitz!~chatzilla@pool-68-236-59-167.phil.east.verizon.net
<PerlJam> A better is_svn_co test might be to run "svn info" and see if svn doesn't carp with '.' is not a working copy.
<PerlJam> (maybe)
<jmcadams> so shell out and run that?  i can give it a whirl
<particle> that'll fail if svn isn't installed
<jmcadams> yeah, i'm thinking that the wimpy 'is the dir there' method will catch most cases
