Re: [Pharo-project] [Vm-dev] Debugging Cog crash
by Schwab,Wilhelm K April 8, 2011

April 8, 2011

Levente, It is indeed not the UUID plugin - Dave already suggested deleting it, and I tried that w/o success. As for running gdb, I will gladly do so, but I have zero experience with it. The most relevant posts I can find mention attaching to a vm that is already running, and I can't get that far. Below is my attempt to modify the one-click shell script to run the vm under gdb. Perhaps you or someone else can show me the errors of my ways and produce something that would yield a callstack. Bill #!/bin/sh # path ROOT=`dirname $0` LINUX="$ROOT/Contents/Linux" RESOURCES="$ROOT/Contents/Resources" # icon gvfs-set-attribute \ "$0" \ "metadata::custom-icon" \ "file://$RESOURCES/Squeak.png" \ 2> /dev/null # execute gdb "$LINUX/squeakvm" gdb run -plugins "$LINUX" \ -encoding latin1 \ -vm-display-X11 \ "$RESOURCES/Pharo.image" Levente wrote: Well, the file OneClick.txt says the vm is "Linux Intel x86 4.0.3.2202". But that's not true, because that's not a CogVM. The UUIDPlugin seems to have the patch which avoids the crash, so it's pretty unlikely that it's an issue with the UUIDPlugin. Even if the patch is wrong (which is unlikely, because we're using Eliot's latest build on 64-bit Ubuntu 8.04 and it doesn't crash, but previous unpatched builds did crash), it's pretty unlikely that the cause of the crash is the related to UUIDPlugin at all, because UUIDs are normally not created during startup and your image is crashing on startup. To be 100% sure you can try deleting UUIDPlugin and see if your image is crashing or not. If it still crashes, then use gdb to see where it crashes. The VM seems to be unstripped (8MB), so it should be easy to identify the cause of the crash.

The Cog one-click image crashes with "Segmentation fault" (if run from a terminal); the legacy VM seems to run the image nicely on the box. Any ideas?

[Pharo-project] An idea about Pluggable widgets
by Igor Stasenko April 8, 2011

April 8, 2011

I have an idea how to refactor the pluggable morphs mess. The main principle behind all pluggables, that you have a model (which is held in instance variable), and then morph having additional ivars to speak with this model, which the selector names you should use to access certain state from model. For example: AlignmentMorph subclass: #PluggableButtonMorph instanceVariableNames: 'model label getStateSelector actionSelector getLabelSelector getMenuSelector shortcutCharacter askBeforeChanging triggerOnMouseDown offColor onColor feedbackColor showSelectionFeedback allButtons arguments argumentsProvider argumentsSelector gradientLook enabled actionBlock getColorSelector getEnabledSelector' classVariableNames: 'UseGradientLook' poolDictionaries: '' category: 'Morphic-Pluggable Widgets' as you can see it is crowded with all those ivars, where part of them used to speak with model, and part of them used for keeping flags and additional parameters which you can customize when creating a button. getStateSelector actionSelector getLabelSelector getMenuSelector arguments argumentsProvider argumentsSelector gradientLook actionBlock getColorSelector getEnabledSelector and this is really messy.. Take a look at code: performAction "Inform the model that this button has been pressed. Sent by the controller when this button is pressed. If the button's actionSelector takes any arguments, they are obtained dynamically by sending the argumentSelector to the argumentsProvider" enabled ifFalse: [^self]. askBeforeChanging ifTrue: [model okToChange ifFalse: [^ self]]. self actionBlock ifNotNil: [ ^ self actionBlock value]. actionSelector ifNotNil: [actionSelector numArgs == 0 ifTrue: [model perform: actionSelector] ifFalse: [argumentsProvider ifNotNil: [arguments := argumentsProvider perform: argumentsSelector]. model perform: actionSelector withArguments: arguments]] Now think if we could replace this with simple: performAction "Inform the model that this button has been pressed. Sent by the controller when this button is pressed. If the button's actionSelector takes any arguments, they are obtained dynamically by sending the argumentSelector to the argumentsProvider" enabled ifFalse: [^self]. model performAction. so, in this case, we just put an obligation onto model to perform any action in response to button clicked, and button no longer cares about crappy logic how it should send a message to model (via action block, via actionSelector ... and whether it should pass any additional arguments or not..) So, in all places which using things in a way like: getListItems ^ model perform: getListItemsSelector now will be replaced with clean: getListItems ^ model getListItems So, a pluggable morph no longer cares about keeping all those selectors and maintain an obscure logic whether selector is nil or not nil etc etc.. Let model handle it! Then you may ask, what if i have a model, which doesn't implements such protocol (required for specific pluggable widget). The answer is simple: - create a pluggable model class for given widget, which wraps around your object and can keeps all those messy 'getLabelSelector' 'getMenuSelector' , inside and mediates between your model and widget. The benefit of it that widgets code will be much more cleaner. And another benefit is that you know what exact protocol is needed if you want to use your object as a model to given widget (list, button etc). And in most of the cases, you don't need to use this messy 'getXYZSelector', because you can simply answer to messages sent by widget and provide necessary data. But if you wanna go messy, you just use wrapper model, which contains all those 'getXYZSelectors' which you can set to whatever you like. -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko AKA sig.
