Where to get Spur?
by Alexandre Bergel Dec. 16, 2015

Dec. 16, 2015

Hi! The Pharo 5.0 (and therefore Moose) cannot be open with the last VM available on pharo.org. I think that if the image can only be run on Spur, Spur should be available. So, where to get Spur? Here: ? https://ci.inria.fr/pharo/view/5.0-VM-Spur/job/PharoVM-spur32/375/Architect… I have tried Roassal on Spur, and text cannot be displayed properly. Cheers, Alexandre -- _,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;: Alexandre Bergel http://www.bergel.eu ^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;.

Question about errno and NB FFI
by Mariano Martinez Peck Dec. 15, 2015

Dec. 15, 2015

Hi guys, I am using NB FFI and I am calling a function that could answer a NULL* in case of error and that it should have set the number on *errno.* So now I have some questions: Say the code is this: run | whatever | whatever := self *primitiveWhatever*. ^ popenFile ifNil: [ self *primitivePerror*. Imagine that the C lib called from #primitiveWhatever was the one setting *errno.* My question is... the following #primitivePerror is a DIFFERENT system call. Couldn't that happened that another error happened before the first system call and time I am executing the second one and so the "last error" (errno) is actually the wrong one I am thinking of? Even worst, I may think that the scope of the "global variable errno" may existed at the scope of the invoked lib only? In this case I don't have above problem, but then....how can I get such number once the NB primitive finished (so that I can call, for example, strerror() ? Thanks in advance, -- Mariano http://marianopeck.wordpress.com

Compact representation of source code history
by Stephan Eggermont Dec. 15, 2015

Dec. 15, 2015

The current format we use for storing source code is not optimal for archival and analysis purposes. Each mcz stores all source code. That makes it difficult and slow. Today I've experimented with an archive format that combines many mcz's and should be able to reconstruct all individual ones. I defined a MCProject, representing a project repository. The definitions are stored in an OCLiteralSet Object subclass: #MCProject instanceVariableNames: 'location infos definitions repository' classVariableNames: '' package: 'MonticelloProjects' For each filename found in the repository I load the MCVersion and its snapshot. MCProject>>read | filenames | repository := MCHttpRepository location: location user: '' password: ''. filenames := repository readableFileNames. filenames do: [ :each | self read: each ] MCproject>>read: aFileName "Needs a rate limiter!!!" |mcVersion| mcVersion := repository loadNotCachedVersionFromFileNamed: aFileName. mcVersion snapshot. self parse: mcVersion. repository flushCache For each unique package in those MCVersions, I add a MCPackageInfo, defined as Object subclass: #MCPackageInfo instanceVariableNames: 'packageName packageVersions' classVariableNames: '' package: 'MonticelloProjects' MCProject>>parse: aVersion |info| info := self ensureInfo: aVersion package. info addVersion: aVersion in: self a MCPackageVersion then stores the info and the unique definition that is stored in the project, eliminating the duplicates. MCPackageInfo>>addVersion: aMcVersion in: aProject |packageVersion| packageVersion := MCPackageVersion new info: aMcVersion info; yourself. self packageVersions add: packageVersion. aMcVersion snapshot definitions do: [ :aDefinition | packageVersion definitions add: (aProject definitions add: aDefinition) ]. As long as #= and #hash are correctly defined for all MCDefinitions, this should make it possible too eliminate all duplicate definitions and have a full history. On my Documentation repo this already saves a factor 7, when saving this compressed as a Fuel file. On large repositories with a high change rate (Roassal2?) the compression will be significantly higher. There are several other normalizations that can reduce the size further: - make recategorization explicit - normalize MCVersionInfo data: explicit author, compact timestamp. I'd be interested in further ideas for this, and situations where this approach wouldn't work. Stephan

Re: [Pharo-dev] [Cuis] Sorting Unicode strings (Re: [Unicode] collation sequences (Re: [squeak-dev] Unicode Support))
by H. Hirzel Dec. 15, 2015

Dale Thank you for your answer with links to the ICU library and the notes about classes in Gemstone. Noteworthy that you have a class Utf8 as a subclass of ByteArray. I understand that Gemstone uses the ICU library and thus does not implement the algorithms in Smalltalk. I am currently looking into what the ICU library provides. I found as well a Ruby library [2] which implements CLDR [3] It has methods like this "Alphabetize a list using regular Ruby sort:" $> ["Art", "Wasa", "Ãlg", "Ved"].sort $> ["Art", "Ved", "Wasa", "Ãlg"] Alphabetize a list using TwitterCLDRâs locale-aware sort: $> ["Art", "Wasa", "Ãlg", "Ved"].localize(:de).sort.to_a $> ["Ãlg", "Art", "Ved", "Wasa"] I hope that given such an example it would not be too difficult to reimplement a similar sort algorithm in Squeak/Cuis/Pharo. Currently the interest is in getting sorting done in a cross-dialect-way. --Hannes [2] https://blog.twitter.com/2012/twittercldr-improving-internationalization-su… [3] Unicode Common Locale Data Repository http://cldr.unicode.org/index On 12/7/15, Dale Henrichs <dale.henrichs(a)gemtalksystems.com> wrote: > Hannes, > > For GemStone, we are using the ICU library[1].
