This change renamed `leave` to `give` and modified `give` to always give the final value of the innermost block. `$context.give()` will always give the final value of the context. Instead of repeating the context selector interface, the object is now used. Loop labels are considered sufficiently OO to allow `LABEL.give` within the lexical scope of the labeled statement. Additionally, feed operators were clarified; their intent is to allow parallelism with minimal sharing, along the lines of the UNIX pipe model. Smylers thought that most people would probably want to filter an array without retaining the original array, something that Larry had labeled as 'probably impossible'. Larry replied that people probably would want the form, but that mutable data is coupled to realtime but lazy data is decoupled. He thought it might be able to make the syntax `@data <== grep { $_ % 2 } <== eager @data;` work, but that care would have to be taken with the identity of the container and its data. In a later commit (''), Larry decided to change `give` back to `leave`, on the grounds that `give` can be confused with `given`. Some of Smyler's comments were taken into consideration in ''. - date_from: 1171299691 date_to: 1171299691 hidden: merged with 20070212081006.3F479CBA1B@x12.develooper.com message_id: 20070212180119.6F84ECBA1B@x12.develooper.com posters: - email: larry@cvs.perl.org name: larry subject: '[svn:perl6-synopsis] r13583 - doc/trunk/design/syn' summary: '' - date_from: 1171326289 date_to: 1171326289 hidden: merged with 20070212081006.3F479CBA1B@x12.develooper.com message_id: 20070213012443.DDDA3CBA1B@x12.develooper.com posters: - email: larry@cvs.perl.org name: larry subject: '[svn:perl6-synopsis] r13584 - doc/trunk/design/syn' summary: '' - date_from: 1171433242 date_to: 1171433242 hidden: ~ message_id: 20070214070702.88E0ECBA1B@x12.develooper.com posters: - email: larry@cvs.perl.org name: larry subject: '[svn:perl6-synopsis] r13585 - doc/trunk/design/syn' summary: A commit by Larry Wall removed the `quote` declarator. - date_from: 1171434131 date_to: 1171434131 hidden: ~ message_id: 20070214072206.92F5FCBA1B@x12.develooper.com posters: - email: larry@cvs.perl.org name: larry subject: '[svn:perl6-synopsis] r13586 - doc/trunk/design/syn' summary: Larry Wall's commit changed `:to` to be the short form for `:heredoc`. - date_from: 1171569908 date_to: 1171569908 hidden: ~ message_id: 20070215210459.01266CBA1B@x12.develooper.com posters: - email: larry@cvs.perl.org name: larry subject: '[svn:perl6-synopsis] r13587 - doc/trunk/design/syn' summary: |- Another commit by Larry Wall made a series of changes to S02, S04, and S12.

As an example of a use, he gave data fetched from from a database which is used to create reports. He also explained why he felt that the `readonly` trait and the `VAR` macro were not suitable. TSa thought that `constant` did what Steve wanted. Larry Wall clarified that `constant $temperature = getValue()` would evaluate `getValue()` at compile time. Larry noted that the specified `my $temperature is readonly = getValue();` would probably suit Steve's need. Smylers agreed with Larry and asked Steve some questions about Steve's proposal for `readonly $-temperature`. Steve replied that he had overlooked the specification Larry mentioned, and that he was willing to drop his proposal. Larry Wall remarked that he was getting tired of writing `rw` context variables and that there might be forthcoming syntactic relief for `rw`/`ro` which is orthogonal to everything else. Bob Rogers suggested `:=` or something similar to indicate that the assignment is really a definition. title: Language - name: perl6-internals threads: - date_from: 1170201194 date_to: 1171196807 hidden: covered quite well last week. message_id: 45BFDA38.7060107@verizon.net messages: - 45C8B5C1.80602@perl.org - 9756DA4B-3151-4AB4-BD1A-900C305DDE39@ag.ru - 45C8C7D6.1000505@gmail.com - 874B1270-4AF7-467A-84AC-A6F6FFE7E200@verizon.net - 200702071149.23522.chromatic@wgz.org - b663e8164dc75705d5372fb1ad63a4dc@gmail.com - 45CA34FE.2090008@gmx.de - 45C10EBB.4020104@perl.org - FF39470E-127E-4E42-8766-22DA0ACED751@verizon.net - 200701311817.13786.chromatic@wgz.org - 45C8B5C1.80602@perl.org - 9756DA4B-3151-4AB4-BD1A-900C305DDE39@ag.ru - 45C8C7D6.1000505@gmail.com - 874B1270-4AF7-467A-84AC-A6F6FFE7E200@verizon.net - 200702071149.23522.chromatic@wgz.org - b663e8164dc75705d5372fb1ad63a4dc@gmail.com - 45CA34FE.2090008@gmx.de posters: - email: jkeen@verizon.net name: James E Keenan - email: allison@perl.org name: Allison Randal - email: dimad@ag.ru name: Dzema Dmitriy - email: parrotcode@gmail.com name: Klaas-Jan Stol - email: chromatic@wgz.org name: chromatic - email: jrisom@gmail.com name: Joshua Isom - email: Bernhard.Schmalhofer@gmx.de name: Bernhard Schmalhofer subject: What Skills Do We Need to Finish Parrot? summary: '' - date_from: 1171094089 date_to: 1171549987 hidden: ~ message_id: 45D1CA64.3000107@vilain.net messages: - 200702130928.41254.chromatic@wgz.org - 45D46F0C.6080804@perl.org - rt-3.6.HEAD-14573-1171094081-1434.41478-72-0@perl.org - 45D18861.9060506@perl.org - 20070213102248.GF5735@plum.flirble.org - 200702130928.41254.chromatic@wgz.org - 45D46F0C.6080804@perl.org posters: - email: sam@vilain.net name: Sam Vilain - email: chromatic@wgz.org name: chromatic - email: allison@perl.org name: Allison Randal - email: nick@ccl4.org name: Nicholas Clark subject: 'Re: [perl #41478] [PATCH] add Test::More::skip()' summary: |- Sam Vilain created ticket to add `skip` to Test::More. Allison Randal wondered why Sam had chosen to reverse the order of arguments from `Test::Builder.skip` Nicholas Clark remarked that Sam had used the same order as Perl 5's Test::Builder.

The property is `svn:eol-style`, which should be set to 'LF' to ensure UNIX-style end-of-line characters. Paul created a test for it in `t/condingstd/line_endings.t` but wanted to check if all text files have the property set before committing the test. Jerry Gay remarked that the correct setting is 'native', so that files will be saved with the line endings the platform expects. The exceptions are examples using file IO, which require 'LF'. Jerry offered to test the patch on Windows if Paul posted it. Paul wondered if Windows users have problems editing files because of the UNIX line endings. Jonathan Worthington answered affirmatively. He thought that 'native' was also the best solution. James E Keenan wondered if new files committed to a branch should have these subversion properties set. Jerry Gay replied that the metadata requirements are poorly documented, and that perhaps this information belonged in the coding standard PDD. This led Paul to create ticket to track the cleanup of the documents. Eventually the property patch was added to `t/distro/file_metadata.t` and committed in r16981. - date_from: 1171288864 date_to: 1171288864 hidden: summary message_id: 20070212140042.16122.qmail@x1.develooper.com posters: - email: perlbug-summary@perl.org name: Parrot Bug Summary subject: Parrot Bug Summary summary: '' - date_from: 1171296730 date_to: 1171296730 hidden: whitespace adjustements message_id: 20070212171204.7452FCBA1B@x12.develooper.com posters: - email: particle@cvs.perl.org name: particle subject: '[svn:parrot-pdd] r16954 - trunk/docs/pdds' summary: '' - date_from: 1171297098 date_to: 1171297098 hidden: ~ message_id: 45D09336.2050806@gmail.com posters: - email: parrotcode@gmail.com name: Klaas-Jan Stol subject: '[PATCH] languages/PIR add command line options for output of pirc.pir (Parse/PAST/PIR)' summary: |- Klaas-Jan Stol created several patches this week as well, namely: * '[PATCH] languages/PIR add command line options for output of pirc.pir (Parse/PAST/PIR)' * '' * '' * '' * '' - date_from: 1171314665 date_to: 1171314665 hidden: merged with 45D09336.2050806@gmail.com message_id: 45D0D7D5.3000006@gmail.com posters: - email: parrotcode@gmail.com name: Klaas-Jan Stol subject: '[PATCH] languages/PIR more Tree Transformations' summary: '' - date_from: 1171357224 date_to: 1171357224 hidden: ~ message_id: 20070213100012.B05B9CBA1B@x12.develooper.com posters: - email: allison@cvs.perl.org name: allison subject: '[svn:parrot-pdd] r16965 - trunk/docs/pdds/draft' summary: |- Allison Randal updated PDD15 to reflect core conceptual changes to objects. - date_from: 1171381417 date_to: 1171381417 hidden: ~ message_id: rt-3.6.HEAD-24617-1171381397-45.40722-15-0@perl.org posters: - email: parrotbug-followup@parrotcode.org name: Nuno Carvalho via RT rt_ticket: 'perl #40722' subject: '[perl #40722] [TODO] Tcl - implement [file dirname] ' summary: |- In response to Paul Cochrane's ticket , which requested that the stub routine `dirname` in `languages/tcl/runtime/builtin/file.pir` be implemented, Nuno Carvalho remarked that it had been implemented in r16967.

Michaud replied that he expected either a PAST::CompUnit node type or the `blocktype` attribute on PAST::Block to get a `compunit` setting. - date_from: 1171464298 date_to: 1171464298 hidden: merged with rt-3.6.HEAD-14573-1171198282-150.41485-72-0@perl.org message_id: rt-3.6.HEAD-27031-1171464261-1355.41505-72-0@perl.org posters: - email: parrotbug-followup@parrotcode.org name: Paul Cochrane rt_ticket: 'perl #41505' subject: '[perl #41505] [TODO] Cleanup and reorganise documentation related to svn properties ' summary: '' - date_from: 1171472998 date_to: 1171499862 hidden: ~ message_id: rt-3.6.HEAD-24617-1171472954-331.41508-72-0@perl.org messages: - 17056F79-2B47-4D18-84F4-02EB1CAF9F58@coleda.com posters: - email: parrotbug-followup@parrotcode.org name: Will Coleda rt_ticket: 'perl #41508' subject: '[perl #41508] [BUG] Configure losing flags...

Nicholas Clark asked what would happen if someone were to add a stage with the same name as an existing stage. Allison replied that it would be added twice, as it was possible that someone might wish to repeat stages such as 'optimize_tree' or 'display_benchmarks' after each transformation. Nicholas realized, after studying the PIR, that there is no ambiguity as to which stage is meant, as "all of them" are added. He thought that there should be a test for it. Allison added tests in r17027. thread_uri: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.perl.perl6.internals/10989/focus=10990 title: cvs-parrot title: Weekly Perl 6 mailing list summary
