[Pharo-project] Parsing Smalltalk Array/Object Literals
by Sven Van Caekenberghe Oct. 24, 2012

Oct. 24, 2012

Hi, I took Igor's initial code and created a new project: http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~SvenVanCaekenberghe/ObjectLiterals/ and I added ObjectLiteralParser to convert any Character Stream or String into a Smalltalk Literal Array and eventually into an Object. This proof of concept moves the ObjectLiteral format/notation away from the Smalltalk compiler and will help us discuss more concretely the actual details of the specification (which is still not 100% finished). I also added 12 unit tests and cleaned up the code and comments. Please have a look at the code. This is one of the tests: ObjectLiteralParserTests>>#testMixed1 | input output | input := ' #(Array 1 foo #''foo-#bar'' true false nil 3.14159 -100 ''string'' (#OrderedCollection 7 8 9) #(Set 10) (Dictionary x 1 y 2) ) '. output := { 1. #foo. #'foo-#bar'. true. false. nil. 3.14159. -100. 'string'. OrderedCollection withAll: #(7 8 9). Set with: 10. Dictionary newFromPairs: #(x 1 y 2 ). }. self assert: (self parserOn: input) nextObjectLiteral equals: output I like this format, its simplicity and elegance is appealing, it offers distinctive advantages in the Smalltalk context while its slight readability disadvantage is acceptable. Like any format it is a compromise and a tradeoff, but a rather good one. Regards, Sven -- Sven Van Caekenberghe http://stfx.eu Smalltalk is the Red Pill

[Pharo-project] 1/2 hour
by Torsten Bergmann Oct. 24, 2012

Oct. 24, 2012

Looks like we created two issues: #6876 (Camillo) and #6877 (me). Joe Rickerby wrote >I'd be very happy if hour just returned the same as hours. I already provided a fix with a test case specific to the problem with #hour, see the changeset at (was not able to upload a slice for whatever reason). Details in https://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=6877 It will come with one of the next updates. If you need it now just file in the changeset. Since the same problem is for other messages like #week too we should keep the other issue #6876 from Camillo open https://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=6876 until we have time to fix this as well. Bye T.

[Pharo-project] Thanks for including Metacello infrastructure out-of-the-box
by Sven Van Caekenberghe Oct. 24, 2012

Oct. 24, 2012

Just a quick note to say thanks ! The inclusion of the Metacello infrastructure in the image makes a big speed difference when building new images based on configurations. Together with all the other command line improvements, Pharo is now even nicer to use on the command line. Sven -- Sven Van Caekenberghe http://stfx.eu Smalltalk is the Red Pill

Hello, I don't understand something on BlockClosure>>ensure:. Why does it use 'self valueNoContextSwitch' and not 'self value' ? In which case is there an issue ? Thank you for any answers BlockClosure>>ensure: is implemented this way : ensure: aBlock "Evaluate a termination block after evaluating the receiver, regardless of whether the receiver's evaluation completes. N.B. This method is *not* implemented as a primitive. Primitive 198 always fails. The VM uses prim 198 in a context's method as the mark for an ensure:/ifCurtailed: activation." | complete returnValue | <primitive: 198> returnValue := *self valueNoContextSwitch*. complete ifNil:[ complete := true. aBlock value. ]. ^ returnValue

Where do I find one? The one in oneclick distribution returns nil from NativeBoost platformId, and the one for win platform in "NativeBoost-Cog-VM" Jenkins platform doesn't seem to have any succesfully built versions... Cheers, Henry
