[Pharo-project] What about Buenos Aires? (WAS Re: Next sprint? London? England? Brussels)

by Esteban Lorenzano

Hi, I would love to make a Pharo sprint here in Buenos Aires... is there people interested? I we are not so many (4 or 5) I can offer my house (the "Smallworks headquarters" :) ) as a place with internet and so... if we are more, I'm sure we can get a larger place. What do you think?

[Pharo-project] FFI/Alien: Structures with arrrayed fields

by Schwab,Wilhelm K

Hello all, I am faced with something like the following: struct complex { double real; imaginary; }; struct ugly { int gratuitousSize; long importantStuff[64]; complex * moreImportantStuff[64]; }; The question is how to explain this to FFI? The closest things I have found always seem to be byte arrays, so the "third element" in the arrays of #fields is not well-revealed. Does anyone know whether it is additive or multiplicative, and/or how to use it to make sense of the above struct? Bill

Re: [Pharo-project] A pause... for tests and orthogonal concerns

by Schwab,Wilhelm K

Stef, There is a part of me that wants 1.1 tomorrow<g> to get Alien and full freedom to use underscores, among other things. Briefly on $_, it came back up on squeak-dev, with the usual polarity and screams of doom due to poor aesthetics. It is and IMHO always will be a consideration of external interfacing and avoiding name collisions. Back on topic, tests are good thing. As far as how I can help, a good starting point will be to clean up my image build process. It appears to do a good job of identifying work that I have failed to package and saving the packages I have flagged as mine. I wonder about possible problems with dependencies among packages, but can't say that I have had problems with that; for whatever reason, "cyclic dependencies" magage to terrorize every new Dolphin user at some point :) I am unclear on whether Dolphin is too pedantic, Pharo is too relaxed (and somehow manages to "clean up the messes later"), or whether I am not pushing Pharo hard enough to have problems. Regardless of the details above, I need to revise the load step of my build, and I have been hoping that Loader will appear so I can rewrite it once rather than twice. I noticed mention today that SqueakSource was down (appears ok now). Not meaning to complain about a free service, it hit me once before and I had to add complexity to my builds to work around it; I had thought about taking that out, but a local-only option appears important. I am unclear on how to do that with Metacello - any ideas? I was going to ask about Citezen and Metacello, but the SqueakSource wiki page shows instructions for it. I will try to test it soon. Bill -----Original Message----- From: pharo-project-bounces(a)lists.gforge.inria.fr [mailto:pharo-project-bounces@lists.gforge.inria.fr] On Behalf Of StÃ©phane Ducasse Sent: Sunday, March 14, 2010 6:06 PM To: Pharo Development Subject: [Pharo-project] A pause... for tests and orthogonal concerns hi guys I was discussing with pavel and I like his point. I would like to do a kind of pause and fix the tests. Improve a bit the fact that we get more tests incrementally to avoid regression. Tell what you think and think how you could help.

generate a document with the source code of a package? We will use pharo at the university and I want to find an easy way for the students to print out the source code of their work. Thanks. Hernan.

Can you reproduce it? On Linux: - open halos on desktop (shift-right click) - menu - export - jpeg - keep default file name - an empty picture file is created and Pharo crashes immediately VM version: 3.11.3-2135, same on 1.1 all tests green I tried Windows VM and it works well there -- Pavel On Mon, Mar 15, 2010 at 10:37 AM, Marcus Denker <marcus.denker(a)inria.fr> wrote: > > > Â Â Â Â https://gforge.inria.fr/frs/download.php/26668/PharoCore-1.0-10515rc3.zip > > > This should be tested a lot... > > -- > Marcus Denker Â -- http://www.marcusdenker.de > INRIA Lille -- Nord Europe.
