Comment #3 on issue 2928 by marcus.denker: Trying to change the category of traits method -> DNU http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=2928 looks strange to fix this so deep in the system... it should be fixed earlier

[Pharo-project] Is SmallInteger a really too dangerous class?

by Mariano Martinez Peck

Hi folks. Sorry for the cross-post, I am not sure if it is image or vm problem. If I implement this: SmallInteger >> initialize self addInstVarName: 'Zaraza'. I have the error: 'SmallInteger cannot be changed' This is because SmallInteger is in the ClassBuilder >> tooDangerousClasses and the error is in ClassBuilder >> name: className inEnvironment: env subclassOf: newSuper type: type instanceVariableNames: instVarString classVariableNames: classVarString poolDictionaries: poolString category: category unsafe: unsafe Now....since this is Smalltalk, I can just comment something, continue, or any other kind of hack so that I can add class variables to SmallInetger. For my CompiledMethod proxies stuff, I am using SmallIntegers and I have some crashes (one is due to a corrupt heap and Eliot said something about sizes)...I wonder if this is related to this...So the question is: is really SMallInteger a too dangerous class so that it cannot be changed? not even adding a class variable??? does the VM assume that the class SmallInetger has a fixed size? if true, where? Thanks in advance Mariano

Re: [Pharo-project] Is executing a file platform dependent?

by Schwab,Wilhelm K

One thought on FFI+Linux: in the spirit of "not all .so files are plugins," I've had problems understanding where to place files and how #moduleName interacts with that decision. Two vm hacks have been helpful: (1) when a module fails to load, trace (see below) the full path that the vm chose to use; it can be enlightening (2) if the "#moduleName" (whatever is passed into the vm) starts with / (it is an absolute path), then load from there. It might be that (2) is best handled with symlinks or by copying a newly compiled .so into a path where the vm should be able to find it. I am open to advice. In general, any time the vm alters a file name, port name/number, etc. and then fails to find the altered result, it needs to somehow record what it failed to find. Ideally, that would appear in an exception signaled in the image, but it should at least be available via syslog(), stdout or some other means. The nice thing about syslog() is that the output is viewable after the fact w/o any need to have run the image from a terminal or otherwise captured the output, and the logs are rotated automatically.

I have not (yet anyway) done any one task in a cross-platform way. So far, I have not seen anything horrible that would prevent it. I have zero interest (at least so far) in moving my numerical analysis adventures back toward Windows (they started there and moved to Linux where I am quite happy). I have a .so interface to Acces IO A/D hardware and a DLL interface to Ascension Technology's 3D tracking software. Ultimately, I hope to be able to use both of them on either platform (the software exists on both), but have not yet made the connections. >> >> I transparently use OutputDebugString() on Linux and syslog() on Linux, but that does a test on platform and calls completely different code, so it does not count here. >> >> Sorry I can't be of more help. I urge you to wade into it and ask for help as you get stuck. For creating libraries, you might want to have a look at Code::Blocks; I don't push it very hard, but I have no complaints.

I don't actually need to execute a file; it's more a theoretical question and I have no idea what the mechanisms are that would be used. To give you a clearer picture: Imagine you have C, sh, and perl files. What I'm thinking about is that I would have some data in the image that I would want to process with the code in one of those files.
