[Pharo-project] MorphTreeMorph

by Tudor Girba

Hi, It looks like in the latest Pharo images (both core and dev) the MorphTreeMorph class is missing. In fact, it looks like the whole System-Settings package is missing. Is there a reason for this? Cheers, Doru -- www.tudorgirba.com "Every successful trip needs a suitable vehicle."

I've attached details on it. The save to file doesn't seem to have much info, so I also put in a screen shot.

For Windows you would need to build it yourself. I'm on linux. Am I correct that the plugin source is only useful if you then run VMMaker to make a VM--i.e., bringing it in to an image will not get you a working plugin? > > Dave > > > _______________________________________________ > Pharo-project mailing list > Pharo-project(a)lists.gforge.inria.fr > http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project

Those are the MVC classes for CommandShell (which works for both Morphic and MVC). MVC has been removed from Pharo. Don't worry about these error messages; the rest should load fine. > Do I need the OSProcess plugin? Yes. It is also good (but not required) to have AioPlugin and XDisplayControlPlugin. All three are usually included in Unix VMs, and OSProcessPlugin is probably included if you are using OS X. For Windows you would need to build it yourself. Dave

sorry.... I thought the left hand pane was always what was in the image and the right was incoming? My method appears identical in both. thanks, Mike

Re: [Pharo-project] Debugger fixes was Re: Getting Pharo 1.0 released

by Michael Roberts

Stef, all, a process question... so I am merging closure fixes from squeak trunk into pharo-core.... Prior to doing this in MC I had filed out Eliot's first exceptions change set from a squeak trunk image giving me the diff that was applied to the base squeak-trunk image during the system update. Comparing this to Pharo-core I saw we already had all the changes his specific cs/MC made so i marked that initially on the tracker as complete, separately you did the same in a different issue. However, this is not the complete difference that could be applied as you commented on the tracker. In principle unless we have access to the base image from which the fixes came, assuming they did not come from squeak trunk, we don't know if squeak trunk already had fixes required by Eliot and also in his base (presume a Qwaq image), therefore not needing to be merged, or if the patch applied to Squeak trunk contains everything to fix the job at hand (closure integration). So, in principle we have to merge in everything and I guess this could require quite a bit of review and testing. this could apply to any fixes we want to apply from Squeak trunk so i thought I would ask. obviously it's up to the merger to make these choices, but now squeak trunk is moving at a good pace I guess we should think about it. what would be really helpful in the merge tool would be to see the ancestry of the source so you could see which named MC package it came from and where it was in the ancestry chain. i.e if it is not the head package. Gary, any spare time to add features to the merge tool? thanks, Mike

Re: [Pharo-project] request for the new merge tool :)

by Michael Roberts

the merge tool is driving me a little mad... How hard would it be to make this change? Also is there any documentation available on the polymorph merge tool? thanks, Mike On Mon, Jul 6, 2009 at 4:03 PM, Damien Cassou<damien.cassou(a)gmail.com> wrote: > 2009/7/6 Gary Chambers <gazzaguru2(a)btinternet.com>: >> For reference, when merging (rather than comparing) the left hand side is >> always what's currently in the image and the right hand side that which is >> incoming from the package selected to be merged. > > That note would already be appreciated in the tool as a comment. > > -- > Damien Cassou > http://damiencassou.seasidehosting.st > > "Lambdas are relegated to relative obscurity until Java makes them > popular by not having them."

First you are probably better off using Ian's squeak VMs which now have closure support. The makefiles are generated, regenerate them using: ../platforms/unix/config/configure Which will re-create all the makefiles without the references to my home directories. Bryce

[Pharo-project] Patterns for Extensible Code Models

by Andrew P. Black

I was talking today about ways of extending a code model (like, the one inside Pharo that represents my packages, classes, and methods), and realized that I need to publicize some patterns that Daniel Vanisencher and I worked out some years ago when we were trying to separate the computation of the required-methods property (needed for traits) from the particular browser that one might use to look at it. The key idea behind these patterns is to take the work of recomputing some property of the model out of the browser, so that we do not get complaints that "Pharo is too slow". The paper is at http://web.cecs.pdx.edu/~black/publications/ModelExtensions.pdf It's quite long, but I think that it is easy to read. A version has been accepted by the new Springer Journal "LNCS Transactions on Pattern Languages of Programming", if it ever appears. ____________________________ Prof. Andrew P.
