<Leonid> Hi all. I want to contribute code to the parrot project. Where do I start ?
<Coke> Hi, Leonid. What languages do you know?
<Leonid> c++
<Leonid> perl
<Coke> ok.
<Coke> there are a ton of perl modules used to build and test parrot; the VM itself is written in C, not C++: do you have some comfort there?
<Leonid> I am a little bit newbie to the open source contribution. I will be glad a more "in depth" explanation :)
<Leonid> Yeah C is good.
<Leonid> btw why C and not C++ ?
<Leonid> any special reason ?
<Coke> Yup. moment.
<kj> I think it's in the FAQ...
<kj> http://www.parrotcode.org/faq/
<Coke> http://www.parrotcode.org/faq/#What_language_is_Parrot_written_in?
<shorten> Coke's url is at http://xrl.us/bhuwr
<askie> :D
<Coke> not an in depth answer, but there you go.
<Leonid> ok I will read it... I am at work now :)
<Leonid> So what my futher steps ?
% skids has left skids!bri@140.232.205.194
<Eevee> echoing Leonid, although I was going to lurkmore for a while first
<Coke> Most of our "todo" work is listed in the ticketing system, but it can be hard to find something to work on.
<Coke> https://rt.perl.org/rt3
<kj> Leonid: why does Parrot interest you? (this might help in deciding what you want to do)
<Coke> Looking for new/open tickets with [TODO] or [C] or [Perl] in the system is a good first pass, and pretty much what I was going to do.
<Leonid> Because I love perl and the Idea of VM for it ..... wow :)
<Coke> reading through docs/ (after you build) and src/ to look around if you just want to jump in the deep end.
<Coke> There is the core parrot stuff to work on, or various HLL's that need work. If there's one of those you're interested in, that might be a better place to start.
<Leonid> Do I need to get an UserName or something ???
<Coke> No.
<Coke> (you can browse rt as a guest)
<Coke> (that may be the wrong the url for that. :)
<kj> Leonid: (love perl and VM for it) that's pretty general :-P 
<Leonid> OK after I will get around .... How I inform you ppl I am started to working on one of the tasks ?
<kj> you probably have questions by then ;-)
<Leonid> after I will resolve all the questions ? I just want to understand the procedure .
% sjansen has joined #parrot
% skids has joined #parrot
<kj> well, depending on what you do; for instance, suppose you want to do some code-cleanup (layout, maybe you found a bug), then you can create a patch and send it to the mailing list (you'd need to subscribe to that beforehand)
<kj> if the patch is sane it'll get applied by someone with commit rights
<Coke> if your patch is for an existing ticket, you can add it via the web interface, also.
<Coke> get enough patches applied, you can eventually get a commit bit.
<Leonid> ohh cool :)
<Leonid> The link you sent me is the bugs page ... do you have any TODO list too ? or is it the same ?
<kj> it's an issue tracker
<kj> "issue" is a better word, as it contains not only bugs, but also proposals and other... ehm.. issues :-)
<kj> but to answer your question: yes, that's the todo list (is the same)
<Leonid> The best way to start is to download the code and compile it first ... right ?
<kj> yes
<kj> and run make test
<Leonid> understand how to work with it and then start to add my own nasty things :)

<Coke> Infinoid: isn't there a tool to regen that portion?
<barney> I added manifest_tests to 'make fulltest'
<Coke> barney: ... so it's your own fault then, ok. =-)
<chromatic> Coke, if control flow crosses the C/PIR boundary too often, that could slow you down.
<Coke> chromatic: ... ah. analagous to SQL + PL/SQL.
<Coke> doesn't each opcode invocation cross that boundary?
<chromatic> I'm thinking more specifically of marshalling/demarshalling into and out of PCC.
<Coke> (ignoring JIT)
<PerlJam> chromatic: you said something about profiling PIR earlier ... do we have a way to profile PMCs?
<chromatic> Profile them how?
<Coke> the only profiling parrot has right now is with -p, which, as I recall, is opcode level.
<chromatic> I use Valgrind/Callgrind and that's pretty good at the C level, but connecting that to the PIR level is not always easy.
<PerlJam> chromatic: well, profiling (from the parrot perspective) how much time is spent in each PMC's methods (for instance)
<chromatic> Callgrind works pretty well for that.
<PerlJam> okay, I'll add that to the big-list-of-things-to-learn  :)
<chromatic> It's fairly easy.

% slightlyoff has joined #parrot
<Coke> Is there a nice analizer for the resulting callgrind file?
<chromatic> callgrind_annotate
<chromatic> If you want to profile Tcl, dump the Tcl code to a PIR file and profile that.
<chromatic> Otherwise you'll spend a lot of time in TGE/PGE.
<Coke> chromatic: callgrind shows # of invocations, not time spent?
<chromatic> RIght.
<chromatic> Number of virtual processor cycles.
<Coke> ... ok, that sounds closer to time than # of invocations.
% svnbotl has left svnbotl!diakopter@feather.perl6.nl
<chromatic> Yeah, it's more accurate across runs than counting u-secs.
<Coke> ok.
<Coke> of course, I suspect I'm going to run this and find I'm spending lots of time in RPA:get_int_keyed_pmc or something.

<Coke> how much longer can I expect something to take with callgrind?
<ambs> Plug and Pray?
<chromatic> A couple of orders of magnitude.
<Coke> perhaps I will re-do this on something smaller. =-)

<chromatic> STRINGs yes.
<chromatic> We can probably fix the overhead of parrot_assert with judicious macroing.

<CrawfordComeaux> Anyone around that might be able to answer some gsoc questions?
<chromatic> What would you like to know?
<CrawfordComeaux> What concerning perl6 implementation is needed and who would the mentor be?
<chromatic> The mentor would likely be particle.
<chromatic> Implementation-wise, I'm sure you could pick just about anything you want.
<chromatic> Do you have a particular interest?
<chromatic> http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl5/index.cgi?gsoc2008_projects#perl_6_and_parrot_projects
<shorten> chromatic's url is at http://xrl.us/bhv9n
<chromatic> If you have a particular Perl 6 feature in mind, you could implement that.  That's a fairly nice self-contained step actually.
<Eevee> is there a concise list of what's done and what's not?
<Eevee> or would that be the test suite
<CrawfordComeaux> ...beat me to the question
<Limbic_Region> getting rakudo to past more of spectest would be really cool from my perspective
<chromatic> The tests that pass are done, and what's left isn't done.
<chromatic> Not much of an answer, but the line changes every couple of days.
<Eevee> fair enough

<CrawfordComeaux> How can I go about finding out which tests pass and which don't?
<chromatic> If you have a Parrot download, build it, then go to languages/perl6 and run make spectest.

<CrawfordComeaux> Thanks, chromatic 
<chromatic> You're welcome.  When/if particle shows up, he's the likely mentor.

<Infinoid> I believe the official definition of "perl 6" is "any implementation that passes all the tests", so they try pretty hard
<Eevee> well, 70% pass!
<Eevee> unless mass numbers of them are todo'd
<Infinoid> awesome
<Eevee> but given the gsoc list I take it the tests are far from comprehensive
<diakopter> Larry estimates the test suite is about 1/3 complete
<diakopter> the one in the pugs repository

<diakopter> don't let that dismay you.  Eevee: what's your language implementation fancy?  parser/grammars?  object models?  test suite completeness?
% jrockway has joined #parrot
<Infinoid> allright.  I'm not a big fan of the "no cuddled elses" rule, but pdd07 is nonspecific about language, so I've expanded the test to cover perl files as well.
<Eevee> I'm not entirely sure yet; haven't really gotten into language design/compiler writing before
<Infinoid> Eevee: its funner than it sounds :)
