[Pharo-project] FileList + Code button?

by Bill Schwab

Hello all, I need to dig into SIF (failing better suggestions??), and will simply do a "port" starting with the existing code. To look for sore spots, would I simply point a file list at the .st files and hit "Code"? Is there a better way? Bill Wilhelm K.

Re: [Pharo-project] Debugging aids

by Bill Schwab

Michael, Ah, the .snafu file type ;) That is an interesting idea. Anybody else for it? It is interesting, as I have written some tools that parse logs for various purposes, and never once thought of doing the obvious. One potential snag is that I found a need to create a process safe stream; I doubt the number of open files would be terrible, but it would be worth a look to see the extent of its use. IIRC, it was for a transcript replacement. Bill Wilhelm K.

Re: [Pharo-project] Debugging aids

Stef, Will do. The append option will come first. The crash dumps might take more effort, since I did not even see the feature on Linux. Not sure what to make of that. I guess I was hacking the VM, so maybe it is available only on Windows. If that is the case, we should fix it. I assume you want an option? How about #appendToDebugLog? I will confess to thinking (if only to myself) this should simply be the behavior, but the option route works too. Bill Wilhelm K.

[Pharo-project] InterfaceDiscoverer

by Alexandre Bergel

Dear List, I built a small extension to OB that display dependencies between class categories. Just load InterfaceDiscoverer from squeaksource, and click on a class category in an OB browser. Shall I add this package to the ScriptLoader>>loadOB?

[Pharo-project] Polymorph question

by StÃ©phane Ducasse

Gary is there a way to see when the code has not been accepted? Right I get blue for the focus but not red when the code is not accepted. Stef

do you succeed to reproduce the bug because I tried around 10 times on different images and nothing crashed. stef

by Gary Chambers

Yes, I have FreeType. I don't think the crash.dmp file really shows the cause of the problem though... (by the way, the crash.dmp file, at least, gets appended to).
