[Pharo-project] AlienFFI new package
by Fernando olivero May 19, 2009

May 19, 2009

Hello, During last SATTOSE together with StÃ©phane and Johan Brichau we worked on Alien FFI. Now it loads again into Pharo. Summary: a. Removed most of the "library" behavior from Alien, so now the libraries are reified: AlienLibrary and its subclasses. b. We moved the examples in Alien class to an AlienExamples class. c. Moved the libC related methods and glu code to the LibCLibrary class ( take a look at the qsort and printf methods). To load Alien framework you should: 1. place the external plugin IA32ABI in the proper folder 2. load the AlienLoader package from the Alien project in squeaksource. 3. Evaluate "AlienLoader loadInPharo " To test that it was succesfuly installed, you can do the following: 1. Evaluate AlienLoader loadLibC 2. Run the test AlienExamplesTest>> testLibCPrintf Any comments, or advice is appreciated. Fernando pd: The main problem with Alien loading into lastes Pharo was that the Alien and UnsafeAlien are added to the specialObjectsArray, and the size of it was modified since Alien package was originally published by John. pd2: Still didn't try out the AlienLoader>>loadWin32, cause i have a mac. Will try to do it in the next week.

[Pharo-project] [ANN] 10310
by Adrian Lienhard May 18, 2009

May 18, 2009

License cleaning step 2: - I applied all relevant changes in EToys 2192lastEdits.cs and 2189cleanupDWH.st (many methods with minor or only comment changes reverted). This brings the dirty methods down to 101 (wiki page updated again). Additional changes in this update: - Issue 347: HTTPSocket does not authenticate correctly against proxy server - Issue 467: Remove instance of AnObsoleteCurrentProjectRefactoring (now there are no obsolete classes anymore) - Remove subclasses of ScaleMorph, which I missed in 10307/8

[Pharo-project] Underscores in selectors
by Mariano Martinez Peck May 18, 2009

May 18, 2009

Hi folks! I am trying to make Glorp work on Pharo but I am having problems with '_' in selectors. The standard of tables with databases involve _ when having more than a word. Example TB_BANK_ACCOUNT. Glorp needs a method like this: tableForTB_BANK_ACCOUNT In pharo 250 it works, but in latests Pharo releases this doesn't work. I know Stef said it could be for 1.1 but I need to ask: is there a workaround a hack or a quick fix so that I can progress with the port of GLORP ? can this have to be with new compiler ? Thanks Mariano

[Pharo-project] Relicensing effort
by Gabriel Cotelli May 18, 2009

May 18, 2009

Hi, I noticed in the ResultOfRelicensing list some methods that are part of the SUnitExtensions package on Squeak Source (the ones listed as Maximiliano Taborda who mades the Squeak port). I think this code is already MIT Licensed like Aconcagua and Chalten packages. Hernan can you confirm this?. Gabriel

[Pharo-project] Line breaks lost when copy from clipboard on mac
by Adrian Lienhard May 18, 2009

May 18, 2009

When I copy text with line breaks from outside Pharo into a Pharo workspace all line breaks are lost and replaced by a rectangle. In version 10259 it was still working, and in version 10262 it is broken (I don't have images in between, but if it helps I can find out in exactly which version the problem was introduced). When I inspect the pasted string, in the working version the line break is character value 13, in the current, broken version it is 10. Is this related to the Unicode changes? http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=823 Adrian ___________________ http://www.adrian-lienhard.ch/

[Pharo-project] [OT] RIS vs. BibTeX
by Schwab,Wilhelm K May 18, 2009

May 18, 2009

Hello all, Sorry for the OT post, but some of you have BibTeX interests and even code(!!!), so I thought it would smart to ask whether any of you have Pharo code to read the RIS format? I am getting sufficient pressure away from LaTeX, that I am looking at Bibus and OpenOffice. I have a lot of data in .bib to try to import into Bibus, which appears to be buggy with respect to to, but there is evidence it correctly understand RIS. Any help appreciated. Thanks! Bil

You will find the file below. It just wraps the "OutputDebugStringA" Win32 API in a subclass of ExternalStructure. Note that "OutputDebugStringA" is the ANSI version, there is also "OutputDebugStringW" for wide strings.
