I added links to the latest unstable to the download page. I change the links to 1.1 to point to stable-core and stable, too.

[Pharo-project] Making the compilation process more testeable

by NicolÃ¡s Paez

Hi, I am working on a project experimenting with the compiler-related stuff. I had to introduce some small modifications to some classes used in the compilation process in order to complete my experiment. I wrote some test to be sure I don't any add buggy code. While doing this I noticed that if you try to compile "invalid" code programmatically instead of getting an exception you just get some messages on the Transcript. After debugging for a while, I discovered that one of the classes responsible of this behavior is *UndeclaredVariableWarning** *(defaultAction method). I have just reported an issue for this: http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=2852 Regards. Saludos! Nico. blog: http://nicopaez.wordpress.com

Re: [Pharo-project] [Off topic] Presentation / slides tools

by Tudor Girba

Hi, If you want to prototype slides quickly, use slides that only show diagrams or pictures, and possibly a handful of words :). For that, you will basically only need a good drawing tool or relevant pictures. On Mac, I use Omnigraffle and I display slides with Keynote. In any case, try to start from empty slides :) : http://www.tudorgirba.com/blog/empty-your-slides Cheers, Doru On 24 Aug 2010, at 08:00, laurent laffont wrote: > Hi, > > to create presentation / slides for courses I use Latex + HA-prosper > for years.

[Pharo-project] [Off topic] Presentation / slides tools

by laurent laffont

Hi, to create presentation / slides for courses I use Latex + HA-prosper for years. But it seems I should change to have some nicer looking slides. I also want to have a pool of slides where I can cherry pick to create a new presentation. For Latex, beamer seems to have more audience than old prosper. I'm not against office suite tools if it's good (I remember to struggle with Power Point '97, was crap). I've choosed Latex / text files as it's easy / quick to move content from one slides to another. And I can use Emacs powers. I feel creating diagrams is always a pain. For my last presentation I've drawn each slide on a pocket book then scan each page :) What do you use ? What is really effective (tools and/or process) to prototype quickly slides ?

Re: [Pharo-project] ExternalAddress and block copy; ByteArray and external calls?

by Schwab,Wilhelm K

Bert, That's helpful in the extreme. I still think this type of thing could and should be more obvious from crawling around in the image, and with the memcpy dispatched through something OS specific or exported by the vm so it "just works" on different platforms. Ironically, the thing that threw this in my face will probably require me to write my own library function (the data are most likely going to end up interleaved in a way I don't want). The library grabbing the data will indeed linger with the pointer, so that has to be external. The function I will end up writing can dump data into a byte array. What about cleanup of the external addresses? Do they finalize themselves? Can I safely free them when I know I am done with them?

My understanding is that it could be moved by the gc (ouch!!) Am I wrong? If there is a way to instantiate a byte array that won't move, great. It won't move while you are calling that library. But it can move after return. So as long as the library does not retain a pointer to the buffer, this will work fine. If the lib *does* retain the pointer, use ExternalAddress allocate: or gcallocate: to make the buffer, and memcpy to fill it quickly or retrieve the data. - Bert -
