[Pharo-project] Standard input in Pharo?
by Andrei Stebakov May 5, 2012

May 5, 2012

I've been just going through "Computer Programming with GNU Smalltalk" book using Pharo 1.0 as an actual ST implementation. The book mentions "stdin nextLine" as a way to get an input from a user via the standard input. Is there a similar class/method in Pharo?

Using the MethodWrapper version that is based on Object-As-Methods, as far as I know. Marcus -- Marcus Denker -- http://marcusdenker.de

[Pharo-project] PetitSmalltalk: now with a self-contained grammar for number literals
by Frank Shearar April 26, 2012

April 26, 2012

Hi, I branched off PetitSmalltalk-lr.50 and (finally) completed a number grammar. I also completed (*) the GNU Smalltalk grammar + parsing, which is currently in a separate package. So, my question: I have a version merging my changes with PetitSmalltalk-lr.56: shall I submit that (together with the other versions in my branch), or in what other form may I present my work for submission? Thanks, frank (*) I may have missed any special literals - I think GNU Smalltalk has an @@(1 2 3) array literal, for instance.

Hi Eliot, at [1] you mentioned a port of MethodWrappers to Squeak 4.2. Is there also a port for Pharo available or do you plan to port it? For those who dont know about MethodWrappers: look at [2] Thanks Torsten [1] http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/2011-September/16156… [2] http://www.refactory.com/Software/MethodWrappers/ -- NEU: FreePhone - 0ct/min Handyspartarif mit Geld-zurÃ¼ck-Garantie!

[Pharo-project] Bug in DateAndTime?
by Max Leske March 27, 2012

March 27, 2012

Hi. Evaluating: DateAndTime now asUnixTime and then creating a DateAndTime object from the result: DateAndTime fromUnixTime: <seconds> does not yield an equivalent object. As far as I can tell, this is because the unix epoch is hard coded in two places: DateAndTime class>>unixEpoch "Answer a DateAndTime representing the Unix epoch (1 January 1970, midnight UTC)" ^ self basicNew ticks: #(2440588 0 0) offset: Duration zero; yourself. DateAndTime>>fromUnixTime: anInteger ^ self fromSeconds: anInteger + 2177452800 "unix epoch constant" So in the end I get a difference of 7200 seconds. I'll gladly open up a bug but can someone please confirm that this is actually a bug and that I didn't miss something? Cheers, Max

[Pharo-project] SystemTracer
by Benjamin March 15, 2012

March 15, 2012

Hello guys, for one of my projects, I'm trying to use SystemTracer to create anew image, but it appears that it doesn't work on Pharo ... I can create a new image, but I can't open it. I've tried with an older VM (Squeak 3.8.18beta1U), but it's the same ... Did someone already have this problem ? Does someone have a solution ? Thanks in advance, Ben

[Pharo-project] Marking methods
by Bernat Romagosa Feb. 20, 2012

Feb. 20, 2012

Hi list, I've been thinking for a while that it'd be great if we could somehow graphically mark methods in the browser. Like adding an icon next to their name or highlighting them in different colors. When reviewing code, I find myself going through methods and would love to be able to mark them once they've been reviewed, to prevent me from going through them again. Does anyone else have the same needs? How do you guys manage this? I thought about flagging methods, but that'd mean I'd have to read through all my methods again to remove the flags once I'm done with the revision. Cheers, -- Bernat Romagosa.
