<chip> hi guys.  I'm lucky that I have signal atm, but I won't at 10.  I have a good chance to get to a network by about 10:30

% leo has joined #parrotsketch
<allison> hi leo
<leo> hi allison 
<leo> hi all
<allison> I guess no one else is here yet.
% pmichaud has joined #parrotsketch
<allison> hi patrick
<pmichaud> hello all, good to be back :-)
<leo> hi pmichaud - long not seen ;)
<pmichaud> yeah, real life intruded in unwanted ways
<allison> Jesse?
<obra> vert soory all
<obra> got caught ouyt
<obra> allison, can you ringlead on my behalf today?
<allison> afaik, it's only me, patrick, and leo here today
<allison> sure
<obra> chip said he'd appear in 15 more minutes
<allison> ok
<obra> he appeared +0 nin early and got hit by a tunnel
<allison> we'll start with patrick, in case leo has questions for chip
<allison> what've you been up to patrick?
<pmichaud> my report is short; for much of dec+jan I ended up with another project that ate up huge amounts of my time (as well as holidays and other family obligations)
<pmichaud> so, I only got started back on perl+parrot last week
<pmichaud> this past week I spent trying to diagnose the troubles that Allison was having with PGE related stuff.  That seems to be resolved :-)
<pmichaud> yesterday and today I responded to requests from audrey on p6c regarding the parsing of  $x:=[x]  in p6rules
<pmichaud> for the time being I've put in a patch that can at least parse that expression and do something reasonable without carping
<pmichaud> that was committed earlier this morning
<pmichaud> beyond that I'm reviewing allison's latest work on punie and continuing to build the components for the p6 parser
<pmichaud> end of report
<allison> are you blocking on anything?
<pmichaud> not any more :-)
<allison> are you having fun? :)
<pmichaud> (was never blocking on parrot-related stuff, just time)
<pmichaud> oh I'm always having fun.  
<allison> excellent
<allison> I'll give a quick report
<allison> I spent my time this week on debugging
<allison> with a couple of positive results
<allison> thanks to you both for hopping on the PGE bug
<allison> I think that must've been it.
<pmichaud> sorry it took me so long to get to it :-|
<allison> It was such an improbable sequence to trigger it.
<allison> I'm going to keep working on conditionals
<allison> The only thing I'm blocking on is the operator precedence parser.
<pmichaud> ...you need examples, or something that it won't do...?
<allison> I suspect the problem is in the grammar itself
<allison> I think what's happening is that it's going straight to the OPP, and not giving the grammar a chance to match things outside the OPP
<allison> the first bit of the source is a 'print', but it just complains that the OPP can't match at the first character
<allison> anyway, I dropped an email, and will leave it for now
<allison> EOR
<allison> leo?
<leo> - did a bunch of bug fixes, one bug was hidden by a wrong test
<leo> - limited clear_eh to exception_handlers of current context
<leo> - optimized recursive tail calls into loops (enabled with -Oc)
<leo> - and -Ofun overwhelmed me:
<leo>   implemented a lot of JITting simple PIR subroutines to native code
<leo>   including C-like argument passing and native C calling
<leo>   e.g. this sub:
<leo>   .sub __pic_test; .param int i; .param int j; $I0 = i + j; .return ($I0); .end
<leo>   is running fully JITted on x86 (it takes 14 x86 asm instructions, 31 bytes)
<leo> - most is working on ppc too (except argument passing from today)
<leo> - factored out JIT architecture config like, which registers to use,
<leo>   into a new structure jit_arch_info
<leo> EOR
<allison> okay, any questions for anyone who's here?
<pmichaud> my @questions = ();
<allison> I declare this meeting finished, but you may want to leave the window open in case Chip shows up a little later.
<allison> oh yeah, leo, are you blocking on anything?
<leo> blocking on nothing
<allison> and are you having fun?
<leo> see above ;-)
<leo> < leo> - and -Ofun overwhelmed me:
<allison> very good :)
<pmichaud> <allison> anyway, I dropped an email, and will leave it for now
<pmichaud> (did I overlook this email)?
<allison> I'll resend. It was just a reply on your previous message.
<pmichaud> okay, thanks
