[Pharo-project] Sockets don't close, 100% CPU
by Janko MivÅ¡ek July 6, 2011

July 6, 2011

Hi guys, If I recall others have also problems with sockets in Pharo, so here is the my current image, which: - has 105 Sockets open, mostly waiting - has also >105 processes open - consumes 100% cpu - on aSocket close responds with primitive failure - image is workable, I can browse etc. - Pharo1.2.2a on Linux Sockets are waiting on Socket>>waitForConnectionFor:ifTimeOut: If I put a breakpoint in this method, most processes waiting on socket raise an exception and I can manually terminate them. CPU is then back to normal. But still 48 sockets and their processes are open. Now I debug one such process from Process monitor and immediatelly another batch of self halt exceptions are raised. Now I managed to manually close all sockets and their processes. Has anyone an idea how to avoid those sockets being deadlocked on some waiting? It seems that they timeout but are soon back. They seem to timeout quite fast, is this a reason for 100% CPU? Why I cannot close them but instead a close fail with primitive failure? Best regards Janko -- Janko MivÅ¡ek Aida/Web Smalltalk Web Application Server http://www.aidaweb.si

Oh, all but the Windows VM, of course, because there the Maintainer-who-knows-everything-better-and-needs-to-constantly-show-it will have the inspiration in the last minute of realizing that "it can be done better", but of course he has no time nor intention of actually doing anything other than blocking everything.

[Pharo-project] "I arranged all my public packages with metacello."
by HwaJong Oh July 6, 2011

July 6, 2011

Hi, I arranged all my public packages with metacello. http://www.squeaksource.com/DaliotsPlayground.html What i did was: step 0. learned metacello with ProStef (ProStef rocks!) step 1. create a new repository www.squeaksource.com/DaliotsPlayground. step 2. upload all public packages to it. (Gofer push rocks!) step 3. With clean image, test each packages installable stand-aone. step 4. Write small ConfigurationOfXXX package for each package that does not install alone. step 5. realize all those small ConfigurationOfXXX have many redundancy. step 6. create ConfigurationOfDaliotsPlayground and copied baselines and versions into it. step 7. removed all ConfigurationOfXXX except ConfigurationOfDaliotsPlayground. ** through this process, tested each packages and ConfigurationOfXXXs by installing them in clearn image. problems: 1. package testing was uneffiicient consuming a lot of time. 2. download counts and activity indicator soared unintentionally. 3. testing doubles since Squeak compatibility is not checked.

I personally think we should (mid-term) get one *really* good and fast FFI and than move as many things as possible from the VM to the image... Security (what people in the past used as an excuse to not do this) we should deal with on another level. Marcus -- Marcus Denker -- http://www.marcusdenker.de INRIA Lille -- Nord Europe. Team RMoD.
