New Cog VMs available
by Eliot Miranda Oct. 4, 2014

Oct. 4, 2014

...at http://www.mirandabanda.org/files/Cog/VM/VM.r3095/. CogVM binaries as per VMMaker.oscog-eem.890/r3095 Fix line-buffered input in sqFilePluginBasicPrims.c when buffer size > 1. fread cannot be relied upon to answer lines. Fix bug in Cogit>>lookup:for:methodAndErrorSelectorInto: which if cogging a method found through an MNU would set the cog method's selector to the original selector that was not understood instead of #doesNotUnderstand:. Fix the description of the blockonwarn flag (not blockonwarning). Spur: Fix one-way become for classes with and without copyHash, primarily by fixing allInstances. One-way become for classes causes duplicates in the class table (either that or an allInstances scan would be needed as part of the become to change instances referring to the deleted class index, which would be slow). So allInstances must be able to cope with duplicates. Hence split it into a fast path common case when the class in question is not duplicated, and a slower path when it is. Make both the marking phase of GC and allInstances check for and eliminate refereces to duplicate entries at wrong/obsolete class indices. Fix markAndShouldScan: to not scan the pun classes of non-objects on the heap such as implicit receiver caches and Sista counters. Eliminate the classTableBitmap premature optimization. All the information we need is in the cassTable and the class's hashes therein. Change pinObject: to answer 0 on failure and the (possibly moved) object on success. Much easier than having to check and follow forwarding pointer. The changes to platforms/Cross/plugins/FilePlugin/sqFilePluginBasicPrims.c in r3092 in a Spur MT VM depend on this. -- best, Eliot

For a DBMS roadmap
by stepharo Oct. 3, 2014

Oct. 3, 2014

so a question: could we have a clear evaluation of the situation? What should be done? Who could write a clear roadmap on DBMS so that we can discuss internally and see what we can do in the next 6 months - Glorp? should be updated? - posgres drivers? - DBXTalk (is is useful or should it not be better to focus on native drivers.

I fixed a couple of issues and failing tests for Pharo4. Thereâs also a couple of new things (e.g. test cases for Context instead of MethodContext) that should be integrated into Pharo4. Cheers, Max
