### Last week: - [Spec2] fix a problem with SpDemoActionBarPresenter: we shouldn't use inform from morphic in a gtk application. - [Spec2] make work the cmd+s and escape in dialogs - [Spec2] add a fadeout timer to GtkInfoBar to auto hide the bars. This is to simulate how growl works now (WIP). - [Spec2] fixed toggle checkbox on tables on gtk (it was not implemented) - [Voyage] unqlite: fixed a test that was crashing (a callback was passing 0 instead NULL) - [Release] modify website - [Release] prepare zeroconf - [Release] work on fixing the load of packages problem (the fix was actually done by Pablo) - [Release] merge new PR to integrate Spec2 0.2.0 ### This week - [Release] <â This. - [VM] Check a problem with large installations on AIO/Threaded VM. - Prepare work to make Pharo usable on big images ### Pipeline - [VM] debug AIO and worker thread VMs on linux and windows. - Speed up calypso?

Re: [Pharo-dev] Wrong behavior of receiveDataInto:fromHost:port:

by Sven Van Caekenberghe

I am confused, you talk about three different methods, receiveDataInto:fromHost:port: receiveUDPData:toHost:port: sendUDPData... (unspecified) which one do you want to change and how ? In any case, as answered by the primitives, the address seems to be a byte array. So for filtering incoming packets, I would not convert each packet's address, but the target address. > On 20 Jan 2020, at 10:10, HilaireFernandes <hilaire(a)drgeo.eu> wrote: > > IMHO, this method is usefull when you are connected to a networked service > (IP and PORT). It helps to filter the datagrams you are interested by. How would you have a setup where you need to do that ? Are you building a firewall ? Can you elaborate on what you are trying to do ? You do not have to answer, but I am interested in learning where this comes from. > Turning SocketAdress as ByteArray could help without the need to convert > each IP ByteArray instance, as I proposed.

IMHO, this method is usefull when you are connected to a networked service (IP and PORT). It helps to filter the datagrams you are interested by. Turning SocketAdress as ByteArray could help without the need to convert each IP ByteArray instance, as I proposed. Not sure about the implication, though.

And if it is expected what can be happening in VM that leads to such huge performance impact? Thanks! Alas this is expected. The Spur heap is composed of two very different regions, new space and old space. New space is a conventional eden plus two survivor semi spaces in which most objects are allocated and which is garbage collected using generation scavenging. Old space is a segmented space, garbage collected using a mark sweep compact collector. The old space compactor does not move pinned objects, sliding unpinned objects around pinned objects as it compacts. The system tries to maintain one old space segment that contains all pinned objects, but this can be defeated by pinning a few very large objects or pining many objects. The generation scavenger has no support for pinned objects. So what the system does when asked to pin an object in new space is to allocate a copy of the object in old space with the pinned bit set, if possible in the preferred pinned object segment, and become forward the new space object to the pinned copy. Once an object is in old space all that needs to happen to pin (or unpin) an object is set (or clear) the pinned bit in the object header, which is tested by the compactor.
