[Pharo-project] COG VM and Locale
by Hilaire Fernandes March 4, 2011

March 4, 2011

I am still willing to get Locale working with the combination of COG VM and Pharo. especially to make a version of DrGeo for the XO laptop where the CPU is subminimal, it brings a big usability improvement for the kids. But so far, the locale plugin does not work, any clue? Hilaire

Comment #8 on issue 1332 by dimac...(a)gmail.com: String literals are not cloned http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=1332 My vote for immutable Strings. The actual behavior in my opinion is misleading.

But would anyone be > interested in adjusting VMMaker? This is *far* more complicated then that. An interpreter for Smalltalk written in Java would be *very* slow. So one would need to do a "JIT" that translates smalltalk to java... difficult, and a huge project in itself. The worst aspect: You need to be *the* expert on Java VM internals to do that. I am doing Pharo because this is exactly where I do not want to go. Marcus -- Marcus Denker -- http://www.marcusdenker.de INRIA Lille -- Nord Europe. Team RMoD.

Status: Fixed Owner: Benjamin...(a)gmail.com New issue 3775 by Benjamin...(a)gmail.com: FileList shouldn't inherit from StringHolder http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=3775 FileList reuse only one method from StringHolder which is: contentsSelection "Return the interval of text in the code pane to select when I set the pane's contents" ^ 1 to: 0 "null selection" It was used to set the selection of a PluggableTextMorph, so I just put nil instead :) Attachments: FixFileList.1.cs 655 bytes

Comment #3 on issue 1042 by tony.fleig: documentation/help menu http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=1042 There is indeed a Help item in the World menu, but it does not lead to anywhere that shortcut keys are listed. The original issue, i.e. that the list of shortcut keys is nowhere available has not been addressed. I think this issue should be re-opened. I agree wholeheartedly that this list is of immense value to newcomers to the system and should be available and easy to find.
