specialSelectors
by Nicolas Cellier Sept. 4, 2013

Sept. 4, 2013

I note that #class was removed from specialSelectors (nilled entry) so as to not use the VM hack which fetches the class without sending a message. Pharo prefers the regular message send. But next to that entry, there is #blockCopy: which was formerly used for blue book BlockContext. BlockContext was removed from Pharo... So that makes two available slots for optimizing most used (sent) messages... We might choose some candidates and test on some macro benchmark if ever that really makes a difference.

Monticello Zinc Socket timeout

Sept. 4, 2013

We have this strange bug again that we get timeouts on the Squeaksource, I thought the Sven fixed it, but it still persists in the latest image. I reopened https://pharo.fogbugz.com/default.asp?6923

Triangulating... 14636, 14632, 14620 Both older versions have problems with cleaning up after NB, all three have problems with high prio process, the newest two with localhostname & blockclosures.

And that requires a redesign of the user interface. +1 And with the current state of technology, probably 2 interfaces. One for large screen devices and one for small screens.

I'd suggest doing something simpler: add an "Open what you clicked on in a new browser" as an extra option in the dialog. Making modeless editing work well, is anything but trivial, and our track record at cleaning up the UI still has some room for improvement http://forum.world.st/Nautilus-look-amp-feel-td4634990.html Stephan

Interesting regression on 30366

When running Pharo 30366 tests on Pharo VM 6.0-pre (21.0) on a 10.6.8 mac I get different results when I open the image and run the tests compared to when I saved and quit the image and then re-run the tests. 2nd time results: 11287 run, 11232 passes, 12 skipped, 26 expected failures, 6 failures, 23 errors, 0 unexpected passes Failures: DelayTest>>#testMultiProcessWaitOnSameDelay ReleaseTest>>#testUnknownProcesses NetNameResolverTest>>#testLocalHostName ProcessTest>>#testHighPriorityOverridesWaitTime BlockClosureTest>>#testTrace ReleaseTest>>#testObsoleteBehaviors Errors: NBPointerArgumentsTests>>#testEnumCase1ByteArray NBPointerArgumentsTests>>#testEnumCase1ExternalAddress NBPointerArgumentsTests>>#testEnumCase2ByteArray NBPointerArgumentsTests>>#testEnumCase2ExternalAddress NBPointerArgumentsTests>>#testEnumCase3ByteArray NBPointerArgumentsTests>>#testEnumCase3ExternalAddress NBPointerArgumentsTests>>#testEnumCase4ByteArray NBPointerArgumentsTests>>#testEnumCase4ExternalAddress NBPointerArgumentsTests>>#testIntCase1ByteArray NBPointerArgumentsTests>>#testIntCase1ExternalAddress NBPointerArgumentsTests>>#testIntCase2ByteArray NBPointerArgumentsTests>>#testIntCase2ExternalAddress NBPointerArgumentsTests>>#testIntCase3ByteArray NBPointerArgumentsTests>>#testIntCase3ExternalAddress NBPointerArgumentsTests>>#testIntCase4ByteArray NBPointerArgumentsTests>>#testStructCase1ByteArray NBPointerArgumentsTests>>#testStructCase1ExternalAddress NBPointerArgumentsTests>>#testStructCase2ByteArray NBPointerArgumentsTests>>#testStructCase2ExternalAddress NBPointerArgumentsTests>>#testStructCase3ByteArray NBPointerArgumentsTests>>#testStructCase3ExternalAddress NBPointerArgumentsTests>>#testStructCase4ByteArray NBPointerArgumentsTests>>#testStructCase4ExternalAddress

Switching context(s) in browser while method is not-yet accepted
by Igor Stasenko Sept. 4, 2013

Sept. 4, 2013

this is most annoying to me, that UI interrupts you in very strange manner and asks you to make a decision: - accept, or discard the method, or cancel the action. often, you are in the middle of typing new stuff and source code can be even not syntactically correct.. so, you have to discard or die :) what i think the solution could be is that browser should allow you to switch contexts at any moment without asking you anything.Instead it should remember your unsaved changes in special 'drafts' collection, which later you can get back on, when you finish what you wanted to do. And the only time when you want unaccepted edits to not get lost forever is when you closing a browser window.. (but of course, drafts can be stored globally somewhere, then it also not a big deal, since you can simply return to your draft in different window). -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko.

Win32 Console support

Nothing spectacular - when I click the scrollbar (while output from ST loops) the output stops until I finish moving the scrollbar slider of the console window. When I release the mouse from the slider it will continue to write to console output. Image does not hang. Bye T.
