Re: [Pharo-project] Z3950 on OSX: module yaz3 not found

by laurent laffont

Hi, I have unmangled all function names. Image also crashes when evaluating the Kant test. (but this time I get ILLEGAL INSTRUCTION on strace). I've tried with Cog and the VM in the Seaside OneClick. I've uploaded the modified packages on squeaksource here: http://www.squeaksource.com/LaurentLSandbox.html (you can use Z3950Slice to load all at once).

Unfortunately, the tests that exist for it are in XML-Tests-Parser-Nodes, which still needs to be rewritten, back from when it was still part of the XMLParser package.

Re: [Pharo-project] accessors vs direct access in Cog

by StÃ©phane Ducasse

> Is this the old chestnut about direct access versus accessors from a > software engineering standpoint or is it a purely technical > discussion? For me more a technical discussion to see how we could reuse more methods and have more late bound object structure access. Now the story about encapsulation in Smalltalk is mainly a convention (I do not use message > > If it's the first, I kind of agree with Igor that *always* using > selectors isn't great in Smalltalk, because accessors vs. ivars is the > only mechanism we have to decide whether something is private or > public. > > As soon as you make an API public, then you get all kinds of > assumptions to fight with the next time you want to change it. Yes. This is why I have a hate/love affair with the unification of state and methods Ideally I would love to have: late bound state = unification + protected/public methods (but I could not find a nice model yet....)

Updates: Status: Fixed Comment #2 on issue 3271 by guillermopolito: r isLiteralSymbol: #<= is broken http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=3271 The part of the method that seems to be working in CUIS is commented in pharo: "[^(2 to: i) allSatisfy: [:j | ascii := (aSymbol at: j) asciiValue. (TypeTable at: ascii ifAbsent: []) == #xBinary]]." I discommented it, and Compiler tests ran ok. I attach the changeset with the fix! Attachments: isLiteralSymbol.1.cs 1.2 KB

It will make all the difference. I have a few more questions to ask and, hopefully, responses to contemplate before I know whether or not I can fall in beside you and set to the work.

Re: [Pharo-project] big ui decisions

>what is specific about your app? My app will be asking people to divulge very personal information and engage in an unusual level of introspection. The environment must engender trust and confidence in ineffable ways. They have to feel safe - "feel" being the central word. I have to create such an environment. >it depends what you need. >Our plans with igor are to produce a nice API to access Cairo and openVG but this will not happen before >3-4 months. That may do it.
