Doubt about RING
by Sebastian Tleye May 16, 2013

May 16, 2013

Hello I am making some modifications in the smalltalk meta-model and i need to replace classes with Ring classes (it is supposed to be possible since they are polymorphic) But i am having a little problem, all the classes know how to answer the message "isObsolete" but Ring classes doesn't, to solve this i have defined the method "isObsolete" in RGBehaviorDefinition but i am not sure which code does it need - if i copy and paste the code from Behavior, then i obtain more "doesNotUnderstand" messages since the code from Behavior>>isObsolete is "self instanceCount = 0" but Ring classes doesn't know how to answer "instanceCount" neither so i suspect this is not the right way to do it. - if i copy the code from Class, then it seems it works, but the result from for example "Array isObsolete" is different of the result from "Array asRingDefinition isObsolete" consequently next messages obtain different results and finally a a "doesNotUnderstand" message again. Am i doing something wrong? Any suggestion?

[3.0][Opal] Compiler Options!
by Marcus Denker May 16, 2013

May 16, 2013

In 3.0, when using the new Compiler, there is now a new way to set options that the compile chain can act on (Opal takes care to hand them through all the stages). For now, the there are two cases where we use options: controlling inlining and to generate long ivar access bytecodes even when short ones would be enough: defaultOptions ^ #( "by default we inline all optimized constructs" + optInlineIf + optInlineIfNil + optInlineAndOr + optInlineWhile + optInlineToDo + optInlineCase - optIlineNone "to turn off all. Overrides the others" - optLongIvarAccessBytecodes "special for Contexts" ) There are two ways to set compiler options. One is per Class Hierarchy. For example, in InstructionStream class, there is this method: compiler ^super compiler options: #(+ optLongIvarAccessBytecodes) The other way to use it is with a pragma: test <compilerOptions: #(-optInlineIf)> ^1 < 2 ifTrue: [ 'Hello!' ] The options API idea is taken from NativeBoost: #( + option1 option2 - option3 ... ) each time the #+ is seen, the options which follow it will be subject for inclusion and, correspondingly, if #- seen, then they will be excluded. By default, (if none of #+ or #- specified initially), all options are subject for inclusion. Like NativeBoost it uses #doesNotUnderstand, so e.g. if you want to have a flag for your own Compiler Plugin, just set it and query the compilationContext by sending the flag symbol as a message. Next: AST Transformation Pluginsâ¦ ready later this week. Marcus

About the Mailinglist debacle...
by Marcus Denker May 15, 2013

May 15, 2013

Hello, So now that everything is workingâ¦ sorry for the mess. We should have left the gforge infrastructure the last time we had a multi-day problem, not wait till we get it again. I think this will be my new principle: second real problem -> I leave. No discussions. We already saw with the jenkins story just how deadly bad infrastructure is. So what happened was that last Tuesday, the lists (all lists of gforge) stopped delivering. Why is not clear, seemingly it was not gforge itself but the upstream servers did not deliver. Whatever. What is clear is that it was completely unclear how long this would take, and that we needed a solution after nearly a week of waiting. So we decided to move the lists. Of course with the old lists down, this was harder than normal (even involved parsing the html to get the subscribersâ¦) but that is not important. Now the problem its hat Mailman does not distinguish between people that unsubscribe, and those turning off delivery. So there where just a lot of people listed with "nomail (U)", What to do? It was clear that we can't just subscribe lots of people to a list that they *actively* unsubscribed. So the only option was to skip those by -> unsubscribing them from the old list -> then get the list of subscribers -> put that in the new list. The only people that will see a bad effect are those using e.g nabble to read the list. But those would see the new mails, too. The only problem they have is if the want to send. So not *that* of a big deal. It seems that we got quite some false positive subscribers anyway in the form of people who filtered the mails and then with the new list the filter did not work and they suddenly saw mails of a long forgotten list. We even had the case of people who where "nomail (U)", yet they did get mails delivered. How that can possibly work, I have no clue *at all*. What else is missing (and on my TODO since Sunday/Monday, sorry for not yet acting on it): -> lists.pharo.org has an empty page and needs to point to the list of the lists inttead -> the archive needs to be moved from the old jenkins. -> the (incomplete) archive of the new lists is not working since I put it as public. Soâ¦ maybe it would have been better to just wait until gforge works again and then moveâ¦ but it was just far too long already and not clear when it would be working again. Marcus
