Re: [9fans] APL

[tlaronde]

Hello,

FWIW, I have put two versions I found under kergis.com downloads zone:

http://downloads.kergis.com/misc/apl4_0.tar.gz

and

http://downloads.kergis.com/misc/apl4_3.tar.gz

The version number is relative to the BSD version it was released with.

The 4.0 has a cat1 man page mentioning Ken Thompson (but it is not
present in apl.1?!!!).

The 4.3 version tells a story that links to what Charles told: Ken
Thompson wrote the Unix version, then went to Purdue and Berkeley. The
4.3 version is the Purdue version with modifications made, so is derived
from Ken Thompson's version.

In coding style, the versions are quite different. The sizes too!

[9fans] 2c/2l make sense, but why 1c/1l?

[rt9f . 3141]

Hello,

I'm wondering about the history of the 68000 compiler/tools.  Support for the 
68020 makes sense, it had an MMU, but 68000 did not.  And it had some design 
flaws that prevented it from working correctly with the external MMU, the 
68451.  So why does/did Plan 9 have a 68000 compiler?  Did Plan 9 ever run on 
an MMU-less 68000?

thx.

For multiple branches try something like the following:

git clone https://github.com/dspinellis/unix-history-repo.git --depth 1 -b Epoch

Without the --depth 1 flag git insists on fetching all 1.9GB of git objects!
But +fetch= lines in .git/config's are not fixed up. As these branches are not
likely to change, that is probably ok.

Next run the following, editing out the branches you don't want.
This list is everything except FreeBSD branches. Amounts to 188MB.

git fetch origin

I must be blind.  I completely glossed over 'single-branch'.
But I might have to go back to the SCCS archive on the CDs,
anyway, since Spinellis' repo doesn't seem to have preserved
the actual SCCS commit messages, just the fact they happened.

I don't have the native git installed yet.  This might be enough
to prod me into it.

Thanks!

On unix, this should do it:

git clone --single-branch \
--branch Research-V4-Snapshot-Development \
https://github.com/dspinellis/unix-history-repo

On plan 9, hot off the press:

git/clone -b $branch \
https://github.com/dspinellis/unix-history-repo

Unfortunately, git9 has no fetch specs, so keeping a
*set* of branches will be a bit clunky

Re: [9fans] Better Code Snippets & Suggestions

[Skip Tavakkolian]

My first reaction is that an RNN-based code generator trained on a
particular dataset (e.g. Plan 9 sources) might be more fruitful.

Re: [9fans] APL

[Bakul Shah]

Spinellis has put together a browsable repo based on various source 
distributions
which I find useful. I keep a local copy as it is under 2GB. All I had to do 
was 

git log | less -ip "ross harvey"

Michael Cain's version on sigapl.org site seems to be a different fork. Also 
worked
over quite a bit.

[9fans] Better Code Snippets & Suggestions

[William Linkmeyer]

Dearest Nines,

I’ve been reading these email chains for about three years now. You’ve all 
taught me quite a bit. I understand that this will be a bit off-topic as it’s 
not directly related to Plan9. So be it. I wanted to start a chain and chime in 
on something that I do have experience with.
I’ve been developing a code suggestion platform. The concept is simple 
relatively simple. As the programmer is typing, patterns in the given code 
block are identified and compared to a database of tagged code snippets. The 
code snippet that is most relevant will be presented to the programmer as a 
suggestion.
The code snippets all come originally from Stack Overflow, GitHub, and my own 
programs. I’m in the process of tagging these snippets for important features 
such as purpose, list of operations, any applicable design patterns, paradigms, 
etc. The more “essential” features are being tagged as well — features such as 
the number of arguments, return type, etc. 
It’s an interesting project to me. While I think that it’s going well, I’m 
certain that the large-brain folk here have important commentary on it.

With Peace,
Will

Re: [9fans] APL

It's amusing that the github has "42 years ago".

You can tell instantly that the line
if (TERMtype == 0)c = (int)*iline++;
wasn't written by Thompson.

This can be found in Diomidis Spinellis' unix history repo @

https://github.com/dspinellis/unix-history-repo/tree/BSD-3/usr/src/cmd/apl

Synthesized from 3bsd, which you can find it here:

Re: [9fans] APL

[Charles Forsyth]

I'm fairly sure Thompson wrote it on sabbatical in Berkeley. I think he
also wrote the first version of a Pascal compiler.
Pascal isn't a difficult language but I remember that compiler having an
unusual style. I think others reworked it significantly later,
so if it's there at all it's worth looking at the earliest possible one.

That sounds like the one.  It's entirely possible the version I
started with came from one of the BSD tapes (we were source
licensed so we had the full set of tapes from V6 onwards).

I have the CSRG CD set, but it's in a box in a storage locker
right now.  Is there any chance you could pull the above APL
source files and leave them someplace I could grab them from?
(9p.io would work fine.)

Thanks!

Re: [9fans] APL

[tlaronde]

Hello,

I have the CSRG Archives CDROM set, with archives from 1978 to 1993
and final 4.4 and 4.4BSD-Lite2.

There are various versions of an APL interpreter and, amongst these,
a version by Ken Thompson, Ross Harvey, Douglas Lanam.

Is that this one you are looking for?

Apparently Caldera has granted a free licence to use, modify and
redistribute files for 16bit PDP-11 and early 32bits Unix (version
1 to 7) and it seems it covers this (since the BSD were derived
from and then reimplemented the software to get rid of the licence).

The CD set is available from
https://www.mckusick.com/csrg/cdorderform.html

If I'm not mistaken about the Caldera licence, I can place somewhere
a tarball with this APL code, if this is what you are interested in
(but I would like to be sure I'm not violating someone licence or
copyright before doing so).

Have you checked the TUHS archives? V7 source is there, it should
be all of it...

Lyndon,

Let us know if you find that source as it unfortunately doesn't appear to be on 
netlib.org.

P.S.  Yes I know there are a million other APLs out there, as
well as J and the assorted follow-ons.  It's the V7 code I'm
specifically interested in.  Maybe it's tucked away in the
bitsaver archives ...
