For Morphic look at Hans Martin Mosners work (Spreadsheet.zip) here: http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/2008-September/13124… For seaside/web there are many jquery plugins for that available on the web itself. For example: http://www.jquery4u.com/plugins/7-jquery-microsoft-excel-type-plugins/ Bye T.

[Pharo-project] SmalltalkHub issues

by Nicolas Petton

Hey guys, As you may have seen, SmalltalkHub is being unstable. We are having issues with the Mongo DB. We are, Esteban and me, looking at the issue, in the meantime SmalltalkHub has to be shut down for a while. Nico

Indeed, I'm facing DB issues with Mongo. SmalltalkHub is back online, and I am investigating.

by Camillo Bruni

I am having big issues with smalltalkhub. It seems like all the Pinocchio stuff is broken again. I cannot load P4-Kernel-CamilloBruni.10.mcz from my repository http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~dh83 Furthermore while Clement is loading it, Smalltalkhub blocks completely!

Re: [Pharo-project] Evaluate math expression

by Esteban Lorenzano

yes... but of course, not complete (no need of UI or other parsers besides the one you wrote). Also, as it's name marks, it is "petit" :) Esteban On Jan 14, 2013, at 11:12 AM, Hilaire Fernandes <hilaire.fernandes(a)edu.ge.ch> wrote: > Thanks Hannes for the pointers.

Thanks Hannes for the pointers. I will then take the time to learn. Dumb question: when the grammar is written, does PetitParser still need to be shipped with the final application? Hilaire Le 14/01/2013 11:08, H. Hirzel a Ã©crit : > Hilarie, > > It is less difficult than it seems. >

Re: [Pharo-project] Evaluate math expression

by H. Hirzel

Hilarie, It is less difficult than it seems. Lukas has a tutorial how to develop a grammar in a workspace. You can do it step by step and so have immediate feedback how it goes. Actually a very rewarding exercise. Read his tutorial first [2] and [3]. It is about what you are looking for, a math expression evaluator, just a very simple one. You would have to add the function calls. The thesis [4] has a chapter on PetitParser which is introductory level. The same applies for [5]. My estimate is that for your problem it might take you 2...7 hours to create a math expression evaluator depending on what your requirements are. --Hannes References: [1] http://scg.unibe.ch/research/helvetia/petitparser [2] http://www.lukas-renggli.ch/blog/petitparser-1 [3] http://www.lukas-renggli.ch/blog/petitparser-2 [4] Lukas Renggli.

In case of shape change this doesn't happen. So taking the example you initialize e.g. an instvar with a collection.

Zinc-Resource-Meta-Core is a package that among other thins contains ZnMimeType. ZnMimeType class>>initialize sets up some constants (lists of known mime types, file extension to mime type mappings, you get the idea). When I add new constants in a new source version, I want them to be added when doing an automated CI build, obviously.

The problem is introduced by having a cache of those mime types. That is often a problem because the cache is designed as infinite valid but there is a use case that needs a little less infinite :) I think it depends how often that "adding" takes place. And it seems to me it does not occur very often. Apart from that cache invalidation is one of the more unpleasant things we face. If you want your cache to update you need to check something. But that is what you want to avoid for performance reasons. > So I would see a postLoadIt for these rare jobs is a good match. Thanks for the discussion, Norbert, I still feel that in most cases, when loading code, or when building new images, I want the class initializers of loaded classes to run to make sure everything is in a known, up to date state. Loading code or building images does not happen a lot and it feels strange to load something but not have it initialized. We'll see if somebody else has anything to say about this. >> Indeed, you would not always want costly initializations to run, but there should at least be a hook to do it, no ? >> >>>>> Am 14.01.2013 um 07:20 schrieb Sven Van Caekenberghe <sven(a)stfx.eu>: >>>>> >>>>>> Hi, >>>>>> >>>>>> For a long time I have been having troubles with #initialize (not) being sent to classes that just got loaded. >>>>>> >>>>>> Apparently #initialize is only sent to *newly* loaded classes that did not exist before ? >>>>>> >>>>>> It does not get sent to existing classes being reloaded/overwritten ? >>>>>> >>>>>> Does the fact that the #initialize class method itself gets overwritten (actually changes) have anything to do with it ? >>>>>> >>>>>> What would be the best practice here ?
