We will > clean this up soon. What is the story with the NewCompiler? Does Pharo include it? Or are you moving to Eliot's modification of the old compiler with closure support?

[Pharo-project] i can has TestCase>>#assert:equals: ?
by Oscar Nierstrasz April 11, 2009

April 11, 2009

Hi folks, 90% of my tests just test equality of a result to an expected value, so I waste time trying to find out what the mismatch is. Would be nice to have this method in SUnit: assert: result equals: expected result = expected ifFalse: [self signalFailure: 'Assertion failed: (' , result asString , ') ~= (' , expected asString , ')'] Does anyone see a downside, or possible improvements? - on

[Pharo-project] Multiple issues with class definition
by Igor Stasenko April 11, 2009

April 11, 2009

I just found, that when i tried to redefine previously declared regular class to a variable one, the ClassBuilder bugs me with error, that 'class can't be recompiled'. Just two doits to reproduce the problem: Object subclass: #Blabla instanceVariableNames: '' classVariableNames: '' poolDictionaries: '' category: 'Whatever'. Object variableSubclass: #Blabla instanceVariableNames: '' classVariableNames: '' poolDictionaries: '' category: 'Whatever'. i wonder what the reason of preventing me to redefine a mistakenly defined class, which having 0 methods? And even if i have the methods, so what? I think that this limitation is too strict. I find it quite inconvenient , since now, to redefine a class, i have to rename old one, then define a new one which is variable from a start and then manually copy methods from old one. Another funny thing that i found, that you can actually do: | string | string := 'Blabla'. Object subclass: string instanceVariableNames: '' classVariableNames: '' poolDictionaries: '' category: 'Whatever'. Smalltalk at: string " returns a class you just defined." Its fun, but having no sense. What is interesting that OB can display this class (but not in a regular way, you can find it in smart groups pane, after searching for 'Blabla'). The above is true for both 3.10 and Pharo-10178 (and i think a more recent Pharo have same behavior). -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko AKA sig.

hi guys we discussed a bit with marcus and we arrived to the conclusion that we want to push the changes in the stream and that we will fix the problems when they show up. Now what it means is that - we will do probably today -> produce a new image with non dirty packages -> produce some fixes to check if we can load them with MC. and make it roll :) BTW having closure is really great. the code is so much nicer.

[Pharo-project] macintosh carbon VM 4.0.1b1U
by John M McIntosh April 10, 2009

April 10, 2009

I've pushed out a 4.0.1b1U macintosh carbon VM that is Closure compiler aware with Alien Support. It can be found via http://smalltalkconsulting.com/squeak.html I also reviewed updated, and added the majority of the plugins that have built over the years to support the VM and Sophie since the Pharo team is now using the extended clipboard plugin for unicode aware clipboard logic and there has been confusing about where the plugin is. The ones I added are: ClipboardExtendedPlugin.bundle Extended clipboard support so you can fetch anything from the mac os-x clipboard if you can interpreter the bytes. CurlPlugin.bundle Curl Support KedamaPlugin.bundle KedamaPlugin2.bundle OggPlugin.bundle Ogg Support RomePlugin.bundle SerialExtendedUnixPlugin.bundle Extended os-x serial port support SparklePlugin.bundle http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparkle_(software) On the VM side the changes are: (a) Reference Mantis 0006987: signed32BitValueOf:, signed64BitValueOf: etc. broken However I had earlier patched that code base in the 3.8.21x series so the issues involved have been fixed for some time. (b) Updated SocketPlugin for IPv6 primitives. (c) Reference Mantis 0007327: Bug in BitBlt: rgbMin and other set alpha to 0 (d) Changes to how SqueakUnTrustedDirectory and SqueakTrustedDirectory path names are resolved to support EToys On A Stick -- = = = ======================================================================== John M.
