New Cog VMs available
by Eliot Miranda Aug. 2, 2013

Aug. 2, 2013

...at http://www.mirandabanda.org/files/Cog/VM/VM.r2761/. CogVM binaries as per VMMaker.oscog-eem.317/r2761 Fix bug in transferTo:(from:) when doing a code compaction when ensuring there is a machine code method when switching to a process whose context has a machine code pc. Limit the ammount of space the Cogit will stack allocate when compiling. This limits the maximum number of bytecodes in a method that the Cogit will compile. Currently set at 1.5Mb of stack space from empirical tests of alloca on Mac OS X 10.6, linux 2.6 & Windows XP. Fix become for cog methods that are not paired with their bytecoded methods (e.g. Newspeak accessors). Linux: There are two variants of the Linux VMs; those ending in "ht" have a heartbeat thread, while those that don't, use an interval timer for the heartbeat (the Windows and Mac VMs have a threaded heartbeat). The threaded heartbeat is better (for example, signals from the interval timer interfere with system calls, etc), but to use it one must have a kernel later than 2.6.12 and configure linux to allow the VM to use multiple thread priorities. To do so, create a file called VM.conf where VM is the name of the vm executable ("squeak" for the Squeak vm, "nsvm" for the Newspeak vm) in /etc/security/limits.d/ with contents: * hard rtprio 2 * soft rtprio 2 e.g. sudo cat >/etc/security/limits.d/squeak.conf <<END * hard rtprio 2 * soft rtprio 2 sudo cp /etc/security/limits.d/squeak.conf /etc/security/limits.d/nsvm.conf END Then log out and log back in for the limits to take effect. -- best, Eliot

Windows problem with FilePlugin ?
by Benjamin Aug. 1, 2013

Aug. 1, 2013

On my image, when opened in Windows, opening the File Browser leads to a red square of death :s And using the UIManager to popup the file picker leads to an infinite loop of halt :s Do you experienced that too ? Can people using windows try the following line: (FileSystem disk root) directories This gives me C:, D:, F:, G: where actually only C: and G: are presentâ¦ It seems to come from DiskStore>>#basicEntry:path:nodesDo: [â¦] [ entry isNil ] whileFalse: [ entry at: 1 put: (Primitives decode: entry first). aBlock value: entry. index := index + 1. entry := Primitives lookupEntryIn: encodedPathString index: index ]. So I would say it comes from the primitives. Ben

New PharoVM built
by Esteban Lorenzano Aug. 1, 2013

Aug. 1, 2013

Hi, I builded new versions of the vm, integrating latest changes from Eliot. This integration should fix some issues, between them the annoying "SmallInteger" problem. You can find it here: wget -O- get.pharo.org/20+vmLatest or directly here: http://files.pharo.org/vm/pharo/ (choose the one that fits the best for you, always the "latest") can you download and check? thanks, Esteban
