Re: [Pharo-dev] Out of the Box support for launching, browsing and proxy

by Sven Van Caekenberghe

I also fail to see why this is soo bad. The plugin passes settings to another object. The plugin is Mac only, from 200 years ago. Yes, we would try to do things different today, but the outside world is messy. > On 12 Mar 2015, at 06:58, Marcus Denker <marcus.denker(a)inria.fr> wrote: > >> >> On 12 Mar 2015, at 03:38, Sean P.

Why?! I harvested the class (the plugin was shipped with the VM already) for Squeak against the *explicit* wish of Andreas (because one could do better, which of course never happenedâ¦ Squeak in itâs essenceâ¦) So: I wanted to make sure that it did not brake anythingâ¦ so I added a very conservative check to only end up calling it on the mac, with as little impact as possible.

New Cog VMs available

by Eliot Miranda

...in http://www.mirandabanda.org/files/Cog/VM/VM.r3268/ CogVM binaries as per VMMaker.oscog-eem.1088/r3268 Squeak 5.0 release candidate. Speed up normalize methods in LargeIntegersPlugin by cacheing result of firstIndexableField. Simplify integer conversion routines by adding byteSizeOfBytes: which assumes argument is byte indexable (as LargeIntegers are). Make sure integer conversion routines consistently answer 0 on failure. Use 4-byte access where possible. Remove use of popInteger in AsFloat and integer comparison primitives (popStack idiom is inefficient since multiplke writes as opposed to the single write in the pop:thenPush: idiom). Revise SpurMemoryManager>>isClassOfNonImm:equalTo:compactClassIndex: for better dead code elimination. -- best, Eliot

Re: [Pharo-dev] Debugging red screen

Hi, It is also possible to see Trachel classes involved, so maybe there is a problem with some Roassal code. Do you have some way to reproduce it??

Hi, I think the problem is that your Pharo30.sources are not available. Could it be?
