Larry Wall replied that `===` was correct, but that the decisions on sorting may need to be rethought. Jonathan thought that not only was the current description suboptimal, it might not even be possible. Darren Duncan added in his opinion that .keys should return a Set. Jonathan had some concerns about the idea. Meanwhile, Paul Seamons made another suggestion based upon Template Toolkit's handling of the concept. This week, Darren went in to more detail on the methods which ought to be available for Set, Seq and Bag.

Allison Randal thought it sounded like a bad idea to simply remove opcodes because they were broken. She wanted to know what problem they were intended to solve, and what the replacement strategy for is. This week, Matt explained what he knew about the history of the opcode. Allison agreed with him that `set_pmc` needs to be split from `assign_pmc` and that they may need to be renamed. She asked for a more complete proposal for creating the new reference pmc so that the effects can be carefully considered. - date_from: 1163547178 date_to: 1164042060 hidden: ~ message_id: rt-3.5.HEAD-2974-1163854028-271.40884-15-0@perl.org messages: - rt-3.5.HEAD-25797-1163959485-802.40884-15-0@perl.org - rt-3.5.HEAD-1713-1163543770-1644.40884-72-0@perl.org posters: - email: parrotbug-followup@parrotcode.org name: Paul Cochrane via RT rt_ticket: 'perl #40884' subject: '[perl #40884] [CAGE] update parrothist.pod from email archives ' summary: |- Earlier, Paul Cochrane took a stab at ticket , which was Chip Salzenberg's request for Parrot release names to be recorded.

He hoped for some feedback at an early point to prevent him from wasting effort on useless patches. He proposed extracting as much functionality as possible in to subroutines which are then placed in a package. He also wondered about some options which were described in the documentation but didn't appear to be used. This week, James clarified that `gen_def()` is indeed not used. Jonathan Worthington took responsibility for this, and said that he thought it was unneeded. James stated his intention to deprecate it. Allison Randal advised James to begin with an extensive and tested refactor, with Particle's help. - date_from: 1163880892 date_to: 1163880892 hidden: 'nothing new, not sure how this got included' message_id: rt-3.5.HEAD-32013-1163880845-843.40937-72-0@perl.org posters: - email: parrotbug-followup@parrotcode.org name: Will Coleda rt_ticket: 'perl #40937' subject: '[perl #40937] bad links in docs/ROADMAP.pod ' summary: '' - date_from: 1163881385 date_to: 1164031056 hidden: "no need to summarize 'thanks, applied'" message_id: rt-3.5.HEAD-2974-1163881339-1384.40938-72-0@perl.org messages: - rt-3.5.HEAD-32013-1163903859-1938.40938-14-0@perl.org posters: - email: parrotbug-followup@parrotcode.org name: Nuno Carvalho - email: bugs-parrot-track@netlabs.develooper.com name: Patrick R.

In it, he explained the relationship between namespaces and subroutines. Namespaces contain subroutines, and subroutines are anchored to namespaces. Matt wrote that anonymous subroutines should not be in a namespace, but should still be anchored to one; in Parrot this is not the case. He included a test case to demonstrate the problem. Although the issue was resolved in r15674, this ticket generated some discussion. Allison Randal replied that she thought anonymous subroutines should not be anchored to a namespace. She thought that what Matt had in mind was a new concept, and asked for code examples and use cases which would allow her to define the concept better. Matt responded with a Perl 5 example, and Allison replied. She proposed starting a new thread, which Matt did with ''. Ben Morrow also replied to the original ticket-based thread. - date_from: 1164061270 date_to: 1164061270 hidden: ~ message_id: rt-3.5.HEAD-25797-1164061227-723.40958-72-0@perl.org posters: - email: parrotbug-followup@parrotcode.org name: Patrick R .

Matt Diephouse tried to explain the anonymous subroutine namespace issue he is experiencing from the perspective of what Tcl needs. He posted some examples of the Tcl PIR. Allison Randal replied that it seemed like the same problem as Perl 5's 'main' routine. She also tried to explain why having anonymous subroutines anchored to a namespace would cause problems in Parrot. She suggested a feature which allows a post-compilation modification of the namespace a compilation unit uses for default lookups. - date_from: 1164215044 date_to: 1164234081 hidden: ~ message_id: rt-3.5.HEAD-1641-1164215008-1277.40968-72-0@perl.org messages: - 200611222103.10633.lt@toetsch.at - 200611222320.59050.lt@toetsch.at - 200611222103.10633.lt@toetsch.at - 200611222320.59050.lt@toetsch.at posters: - email: parrotbug-followup@parrotcode.org name: Patrick R .
