She found the 'quantified' clause to be unintuitive and wondered if it would be possible to modify it to produce Match objects and to reserve Array only for noncontiguous same-name subrules. Patrick R. Michaud and Flavio S. Glock made some alternate suggestions. More recently Audrey replied to the thread, wondering if there was a hidden cost to making `/+/` always react so that `$.from` returns something. Masak preferred the proposed semantics and asked if the question had been discussed off-list. - date_from: 1159069747 date_to: 1159069747 hidden: minor commit message_id: 20060924034859.ACFD2CBA4D@x12.develooper.com posters: - email: audreyt@cvs.perl.org name: audreyt subject: '[svn:perl6-synopsis] r12347 - doc/trunk/design/syn' summary: '' - date_from: 1159103595 date_to: 1159103595 hidden: minor commit message_id: 20060924131306.8655BCBA4D@x12.develooper.com posters: - email: audreyt@cvs.perl.org name: audreyt subject: '[svn:perl6-synopsis] r12348 - doc/trunk/design/syn' summary: '' - TAMARA: 'todo, still very active (and long)' date_from: 1159167687 date_to: 1159316051 hidden: ~ message_id: 45177E12.3030707@vilain.net messages: - 4517E9D1.1050808@barco.com - 4517F42B.2050208@puremagic.com - cda42dbb0609251928me9f1efex82b69b4c074a4723@mail.gmail.com - 'p06230901c13e461a8ded@[192.168.1.101]' - 4518E13B.3070503@vilain.net - 'p06230901c13f65ae5407@[192.168.1.101]' - 4519C246.6080702@vilain.net - 4518DDCA.7000901@vilain.net - 4518E034.6090506@barco.com - 4519ACAF.8040806@vilain.net - 4517FB69.1010907@barco.com - 45184721.8070209@vilain.net - 4519073E.30708@barco.com posters: - email: sam@vilain.net name: Sam Vilain - email: Thomas.Sandlass@barco.com name: TSa - email: miro@puremagic.com name: Miroslav Silovic - email: ashley.winters@gmail.com name: Ashley Winters - email: darren@DarrenDuncan.net name: Darren Duncan subject: 'Nitpick my Perl6 - parametric roles' summary: |- Sam Vilain sent some code on Perl 6 core types as collections and asked if anyone would like to poke holes in it.

Reed subject: 'RFC: multi assertions/prototypes: a step toward programming by contract' summary: |- Aaron Sherman wrote to suggest a signature prototype that all multis defined in or exported to the current namespace must match, as a means of implementing the paradigm of programming by contract. Trey Harris felt that the point of multiple dispatch is that arguments are not bound to a single type, and the proposal might defeat this use, although junctive types, subsets and roles make 'single type' less of a constraint. Miroslav Silovic was bothered by the possible duplication of functionality and believed that declarative requirements should go in to roles. Many other people responded to this thread. In addition, there was a discussion on the terminology of libraries in Perl 5 and Perl 6--'package' being the Perl 5 term, and 'module' the Perl 6 term. The definition of 'programming by contract' was also discussed. There was also a discussion on whether 'package' implied a Perl 5 library and 'module' suggested a Perl 6 one. Larry Wall attempted to clarify. - date_from: 1159383580 date_to: 1159388161 hidden: ~ message_id: 20060927185932.44245.qmail@web56205.mail.re3.yahoo.com messages: - 20060927201553.GI12205@host.pmichaud.com posters: - email: dbrunton@yahoo.com name: David Brunton - email: pmichaud@pobox.com name: Patrick R.

He listed the seven special named assertions found in S05, and the twenty-four found in `docs/Perl6/Overview/Rule.pod`. He found another one in `t/regex/from_perl6_rules/stdrules.t`. In his opinion, it was worth creating a single place in S05 where all of these named assertions are listed. Patrick R. Michaud disagreed with the inclusion of `<'...'>` and `<"...">` as named assertions. He stated that he would compare the list with what PGE has implemented and report differences. Mark A. Biggar noted that the documentation should distinguish between pre-defined character classes and special builtins. Patrick responded with PGE's view on what constitutes a special builtin. - date_from: 1159391491 date_to: 1159392190 hidden: duplicate of 20060927185932.44245.qmail@web56205.mail.re3.yahoo.com message_id: 092720062112.16933.451AE9220004F1C50000422522070209539D0E0909070DD20ED2059D0E03@comcast.net messages: - 20060927212300.GA3363@host.pmichaud.com posters: - email: mark.a.biggar@comcast.net name: mark.a.biggar - email: pmichaud@pobox.com name: Patrick R.

She requested feedback, especially on which lightweight concurrency model to use for asynchronous operations. She also asked for a reaction on async ops returning status objects while sync ops return integer error codes. chromatic suggested that ops could always return PMCs, and simply check the intval if required. Tim Bunce wondered if speed-sensitive ops which might be used in loops could be given the PMC to reuse. Leopold Toetsch remarked that he did not like I/O opcodes and explained why. chromatic disagreed with one of the arguments and Leopold replied. Joshua Hoblitt asked for more details on Allison's comment about concurrency models: was she speaking of the Parrot API, the actual implementation, or both?
