Object>>ifNilOrEmpty: aBlock
by Sebastian Sastre Jan. 5, 2015

Jan. 5, 2015

Hi guys, Iâve started to use this little one: Object>>ifNilOrEmpty: aBlock self ifNil: [ ^ aBlock value ]. (self isCollection and: [ self isEmpty ]) ifTrue: [ ^ aBlock value ]. ^ self. It allows you to do the widely known JavaScript one-liner: var stuff = this.thing || âsome default value for when this.thing is undefined, null or an empty stringâ. but in smalltalk in this way: stuff := self thing ifNilOrEmpty: [ âsome default value for when self thing is nil or an empty stringâ ] simple thing feels practical and nice :)

Wrapping RegQueryValueExA in NativeBoost
by Torsten Bergmann Jan. 5, 2015

Jan. 5, 2015

Hi, Happy new year! I try to wrap some API methods using NativeBoost to access Win32 Registry and broaden the Pharo support for Windows. Currently I'm already able to - create registry keys (RegCreateKeyA API) - open registry keys (RegOpenKeyExA API) - delete registry keys (RegDeleteKeyA API) - close registry key handles (RegCloseKey API) Now I additionally want to query some keys using the "RegQueryValueExA" API (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms724911%28v=vs.85%…) As I tried an example in an elder Smalltalk/MT first (see attached) I know it is working from the Win32 API side. My NativeBoost definition in Pharo for wrapping the function looks like this (similar to MSDN): regQueryValueExA: hKey with: lpValueName with: lpReserved with: lpType with: lpData with: lpcbData <primitive: 'primitiveNativeCall' module: 'NativeBoostPlugin'> ^ self nbCall: #(LONG RegQueryValueExA( HKEY hKey, LPCTSTR lpValueName, LPDWORD lpReserved, LPDWORD lpType, LPBYTE lpData, LPDWORD lpcbData)) module: #advapi32 But when I call it I get a "Generic error" thrown by NB and independent how hard I try I can not get this call to work in NativeBoost. I checked all arguments, checked the type definitions (pool WinTypes which is similar to NBWinTypes), played with options, ... but was not able to find out what I'm doing wrong in Pharo. Meanwhile after investing several days of my spare time it looks like I cant "see the wood because of all the trees". I would really appreciate if someone with enough knowledge of NativeBoost could have a second look to point my into the right direction. To reproduce: ============= - use a fresh Pharo4.0 Latest update: #40428 - open World menu -> Configuration Browser and load "OSWindows" project - go to class WinRegistry - there is the NativeBoost API definition in method #regQueryValueExA:with:with:with:with:with: - and a method #example2 that calls this in a similar way as in my Smalltalk/MT example (if you try this example you get the "Generic error") Many thanks in advance! Bye T.

On Twitter

Jan. 5, 2015

I have to say, I really don't understand this Twitter thing (I'm getting too old for this sh*t). However, I understand that Twitter can be a powerful tool for branding. The power of social media and all that. So I created a Twitter account. My handle is @smalltalkrenais. I just completed my first "tweet". I'm so proud of myself. I am now officially a Twit. I urge everyone in the Smalltalk community to use Twitter. Tweet about all things Smalltalk. Tweet about the latest Smalltalk news. Tweet about your recent experience or discovery with Smalltalk. I'm only one Twit. However, if there are thousands of us, we can get the word out about Smalltalk and raise public awareness. The thing is, *we must /continually/ tweet in order to keep the Smalltalk meme alive.* I've also created a Facebook page, as well as a Google+ page. (See "Contact Us" on our website <http://smalltalkrenaissance.wordpress.com/> .) Feel free to post on them. This is yet another opportunity to spread the word. Let's make the most of social media to help the cause. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/On-Twitter-tp4797177.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Can MongoTalk execute plan javascript MongoDB queries?
by Sebastian Sastre Jan. 5, 2015

Jan. 5, 2015

Is anybody here using MongoTalk doing some fancy custom queries? Not just with boolean conditions but with regex for example. Iâm interested in being able to execute and get the results of a raw javascript query but I cannot found how to do it. I am missing something?
