Roassal2 in Pharo 5 -> segfault
by Johan Fabry Dec. 31, 2015

Dec. 31, 2015

Hi all, just in case this is not a known bug: Intensive use of Roassal2 in Pharo 5 causes a segfault of the mac vm. A crash.dump is attached. Itâs the vm I got just now ( wget --quiet -O - get.pharo.org/50+vm | bash ) and Pharo5 with Alexesâ 17280 slice to make Roassal visualize shapes correctly. To reproduce, all I need to do is have a visualization open with a layout animation and after some time it will crash. I use this in LRP and I can give easy steps to reproduce if needed. ---> Save our in-boxes! http://emailcharter.org <--- Johan Fabry - http://pleiad.cl/~jfabry PLEIAD and RyCh labs - Computer Science Department (DCC) - University of Chile

pillar question
by ClÃ©ment Bera Dec. 30, 2015

Dec. 30, 2015

Is this the right place to ask questions about pillar ? I am trying to write documentation using pillar. I am now stuck at conditional printing and on the contrary to my previous issues I didn't find examples in other documentation written in pillar. In latex, I would do conditional printing this way: \newif \ifsol \sol true \ifsol paragraph display if sol is true \fi and depending if I put true or false in the variable sol, the paragraph is displayed or not. Then I can print two version of my document with different texts at specific parts depending on this variable. I tried multiple ways in pillar, but I can't achieve the same result. What is the right way to do conditional printing in pillar ? Thanks ! Clement

by Torsten Bergmann Dec. 29, 2015

Dec. 29, 2015

Hi, just as an info and in case you missed it but might be interested: Dolphin Smalltalk for Windows 7 will be released open source (MIT licensed) on GitHub today ([1]/[2]). The sources for both the image and the virtual machine will be available. For those who do not know it: Dolphin is a Smalltalk system for Windows provided by Andy Bower and Blaire McGlashan from www.object-arts.com The article from BitwiseMag [3] gives an overview. The existing Dolphin 6.2 codebase was brought by Andy Bower now under Git and compiles completely under VisualStudio Community 2013. This is a new version, Dolphin 7, that is modelled off the previous X6.1 Professional Edition (although you can choose to build Dolphin Community Edition from it if you like). Have fun T.

How to use ExternalAddress in callouts with new FFI?
by Mariano Martinez Peck Dec. 29, 2015

Dec. 29, 2015

Hi Esteban, Previously, I was doing with NB something like this: *pointer := NativeBoost allocate: 4.* *self primitiveWhatever: pointer* and: *primitiveWhatever: pointer* * <primitive: #primitiveNativeCall module: #NativeBoostPlugin error: errorCode >* * ^ self nbCall: #( int void (NBExternalAddress pointer ) )* But of course that doesn't work with latest FFI. So I tried instead: *pointer := ExternalAddress allocate: 4.* *primitiveWhatever: pointer* * <primitive: #primitiveNativeCall module: #NativeBoostPlugin error: errorCode >* * ^ self nbCall: #( int void (ExternalAddress pointer ) )* But then I get a ExternalAddress class #asExternalTypeOn: which is sent in FFICallout >> resolveType: Any idea how can I use ExternalAddress in the signature of the FFI primitive call? What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance, -- Mariano http://marianopeck.wordpress.com
