[ANN] Pharo 11 Released !
by Esteban Lorenzano May 12, 2023

May 12, 2023

Dear Pharo users and dynamic language lovers: We have released Pharo (https://pharo.org/) version 11! What is Pharo? Pharo is a pure object-oriented programming language and a powerful environment focused on simplicity and immediate feedback. Simple & powerful language: No constructors, no types declaration, no interfaces, no primitive types. Yet a powerful and elegant language with a full syntax fitting in one postcard! Pharo is objects and messages all the way down. Live, immersive environment: Immediate feedback at any moment of your development: Developing, testing, debugging. Even in production environments, you will never be stuck in compiling and deploying steps again! Amazing debugging experience: Pharo environment includes a debugger unlike anything you've seen before. It allows you to step through code, restart the execution of methods, create methods on the fly, and much more! Pharo is yours: Pharo is made by an incredible community, with more than 100 contributors for the last revision of the platform and hundreds of people constantly contributing with frameworks and libraries. Fully open-source: Pharo full stack is released under MIT (https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT) License and available on GitHub (https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo) ... more on the Pharo Features page (http://www.pharo.org/features) In this iteration of Pharo, we continue working on our objectives of improvement, clean-up and modularization. Also, we included a number of usability and speed improvements. A complete list of changes and improvements is available in our Changelog (https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-changelogs/blob/master/Pharo110Chang…) Some highlights of this amazing version: Highlights Tools Iceberg (the git client/VCS control tool) has received a lot of tweaks and fixes to work better with GitHub and other Git services. Our debugger now incorporates lots of tweaks and notably the capability of adding bindings in the context interaction model. The is a new implementation of rewrite tools and improved refactoring support. There is a new tool: The Document Browser, which presents Microdown (markdown compatible) documents placed on the web or locally. New Tools presented in Calypso (the System Browser) and additional extended Inspectors. All versions of NewTools, Spec, Roassal and Microdown have been updated with their respective bug fixes and improvements. System Extended Full Blocks and Constant Clock closures support. Additional Inlining and optimizations Bug Fixes and Clean up. Ephemeron Finalization support. Virtual machine Ephemerons Production Ready. Initial support for Single-Instruction Multiple-Data (SIMD).

Pharo contribution Jenkins end of service
by Christophe Demarey May 12, 2023

May 12, 2023

Hi all, Some years ago, we provided a Jenkins instance to check the health / quality of projects that are not in Pharo core but important for the community: https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/ <https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/> Since, we moved to GitHub and GitHub actions are mainly used to achieve the same goal. Therefore there is no more reason to keep this service. Thatâs why we decided to stop the Pharo contribution Jenkins on 12th June 2023. If you need to save some data (job artefacts, job setup), let us know. The server is now up but it has not been updated since a while and can stop working from time to time. On 12th June 2023, we will shutdown the server and all data will be removed. The Pharo team.

[Pharo12] commentSourcePointer and Metaclass
by Marcus Denker May 4, 2023

May 4, 2023

Hi, up to Pharo11, the commentSourcePointer that is used to read and write the class comments was in ClassOrganization. In Pharo 12, we moved the commentSourcePointer to Class, Metaclass therefore has no empty commentSourcePointer anymore via itâs organizer. PR is mergedâ¦ these are of course more steps then you would think Started in Pharo11: - ix-tests-commentSourcePointer #11441 https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/pull/11441 - Add commentSourcePointer to ClassDescription #11326 https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/pull/11326 Pharo 12: - Set-CommentSourcepointer-ClassDescription #13171 https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/pull/13171 - remove commentSourcePointer from ClassOrganization #13176 https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/pull/13176 - CommentSourcePointer-move-methods-down #13640 https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/pull/13640 - move commentSourcePointer from ClassDescription to Class #13643 https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/pull/13643 - fix BehaviorTest>>#testInstSize #13648 https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/pull/13648 and DONE. Moving ivars around in these classes is of course not easy, it can only be done with creating a PR by editing the code directly and then can be bootstapped, but you could not do that from a running image. (this explains why the commentSourcePointer was in ClassOrganization to start with, when it was introduced, this was the only place to put without major hassle) - the code is now much simpler to understand (Metaclass forwards all methods related to comments to #instanceSide) - it saves (a little bit) of memory (Smalltalk globals allClasses size * 8) bytes - is just one step to move merge ClassOrganization with ClassDescription, which will be a bit more relevant in terms of memory Marcus

[Pharo12] Simplify CompiledMethod trailer: just support fixed sourcePointers
by Marcus Denker May 3, 2023

May 3, 2023

Hi, We did (im Pharo12) a simplification of how method trailers are handled. Below is the class comment of the now Deprecated and empty class CompiledMethodTrailer. The issue https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/issues/13512 has a list of all the intermediate steps done. ========== CompiledMethodTrailer was removed in Pharo12 It was responsible for encoding and decoding various kinds of compiled method trailer data, but that had many downsides: â¢ variable length trailers forced often called methods like CompiledMethod>>#endPC to instantiate an instance â¢ setting a sourcePointer that required a different length trailer (e.g embedding sources) needed to create a new compiled method and do a become â¢ to avoid that, the compiler supported to use an existing trailer and delegated instance creation of CompiledMethod to it. â¢ using 1 byte for the trailer kind lead to the need use Variable length encoding already for our ~40MB source file for some methods. All in all, the CompiledMethodTrailer added a lot of complexity for nothing. What do we do now? â¢ use use a fixed-length trailer (see #trailerSize) â¢ writing and reading that is not that complex (see #setSourcePointer, #sourcePointer:) Q: I used to hand a trailer to the compiler, what should I do now? The compiler now creates always CompiledMethods with a fixed, but empty trailer. Just use #sourcePointer to set it after. Q: I used to clear the trailer using #copyWithTrailerBytes:, what should I do now? There is now #cearSourcePointer. Just use #copy before if you want a copy. Q: I want to have a non-installed method, but with source code. The compiler now sets a #source property (and setting a source pointer via #sourcePointer: removes it). If you use the compiler, you need to do nothing special anymore! All methods come with source via the property by default.

[Pharo12] Simpler sourcePointer encoding
by Marcus Denker May 2, 2023

May 2, 2023

Hi, After simplifying the CompiledMethodTrailer, let's look at what is stored there. It is an integer that encodes 1) which file? .sources or .changes ? and 2) the position in the file. So for two files we need one bit. So we could just shift the position by one and then use the last bit, if it is 1, we are .changes. But if you look at the code... it looks strange. I think this is for compatibility, without a bootstrap, changes like these are hard to do. So this is the old code: fileIndexFromSourcePointer: anInteger "Return the index of the source file which contains the source chunk addressed by anInteger" ^ (anInteger bitAnd: 16r1000000) ~= 0 ifTrue: [ 1 "sources file" ] ifFalse: [ anInteger >= 16r1000000 ifTrue: [ 2 "changes file" ] ifFalse: [ 0 "compatibility with StandardSourceFileArray" ] ] filePositionFromSourcePointer: anInteger "Return the position of the source chunk addressed by anInteger" | hi lo | hi := anInteger // 33554432. lo := anInteger \\ 16777216. ^ ((anInteger bitAnd: 16777216) ~= 0 or: [ anInteger < 16777216 "compatibility with StandardSourceFileArray" ]) ifTrue: [ hi * 16777216 + lo "sources file" ] ifFalse: [ (hi - 1) * 16777216 + lo "changes file" ] sourcePointerFromFileIndex: index andPosition: position "Return a sourcePointer encoding the given file index and position" | hi lo | (index = 1 or: [index = 2]) ifFalse: [self error: 'invalid source file index']. position < 0 ifTrue: [self error: 'invalid source code pointer']. hi := position // 16r1000000 *2 + index. lo := position \\ 16r1000000. ^ hi * 16r1000000 + lo While this is the "just shift by one and use the last bit" version: fileIndexFromSourcePointer: anInteger "Return the index of the source file which contains the source chunk addressed by anInteger" "1 is sources file, 2 is changes file" ^ (anInteger bitAnd: 1) + 1 filePositionFromSourcePointer: anInteger "Return the position of the source chunk addressed by anInteger, just shift by one" ^ anInteger >> 1 sourcePointerFromFileIndex: index andPosition: position "Return a sourcePointer encoding the given file index and position" (index = 1 or: [index = 2]) ifFalse: [self error: 'invalid source file index']. position < 0 ifTrue: [self error: 'invalid source code pointer']. "we shift the position by one and set the last bit for .changes" ^ (position << 1) bitOr: index - 1 The PR https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/pull/13583 was merged in Pharo12 last week. Marcus
