The Commodore C64 emulator that was on the store was taken down by the fact you could get to Commodore Basic. I have read of other language supporters who have attempted to get their language into the store and failed. But given the fact all the code is available someone could take a run at it.

At the moment no downloadable win32-plugin exists. Building the plugin under win32 from source is not an easy task (at least for me).

[Pharo-project] Alien

by Torsten Bergmann

According to the Alien squeaksource page (wiki section) one has to evaluate ScriptLoader loadLatestPackage: 'AlienLoader' from: 'http://www.squeaksource.com/Alien'. (Smalltalk at: #AlienLoader) load But this crashes in latest core #10462 while it seems to load in core #10441. And my question about the state and a pointer to the alien plugin for win32 is also still unanswered...

I'm not using Installer -- I suppose I should, but I'm currently just loading it from Monticello. For platform-specific sizes, I didn't do anything fancy because I think long-term this needs to be done by a primitive, perhaps at image startup. > What stuff is in Alien and not in "Alien Lite"? By "Alien Lite", I mean my little library of GemStone "UserActions" that implement just the bare minimum parts of Alien that I needed to get CairoGraphics working there. Maybe I should have called it "Alien Gaunt" or something. It assumes all floats are double-precision, only supports integral and double return values, and has a ceiling on the number of integral and double arguments that can be passed to a function [1]. Also, "Alien Lite" has no mechanism for automatic freeing of Cairo handles when Smalltalk objects are collected. Oh, and it doesn't support callbacks yet either. It's enough to make CairoGraphics work, but probably wouldn't be very useful for anything else at this point. I'm told that GemStone 3.0 is going to have a real FFI, so at that point it might make sense to create an Alien-ish layer on top of that. Ken [1] On x86_64, the first 6 integral arguments and the first 8 floating- point arguments are passed in registers, with other values passed on the stack. None of the functions I'm using in CairoGraphics have blown over that limit, so I haven't implemented the stack allocation portion and thus there's a limit on the total number of each type of argument supported. > > Fernando > > > Il giorno Sep 26, 2009, alle ore 1:59 AM, Ken Treis ha scritto: > >> On Sep 25, 2009, at 10:57 AM, StÃ©phane Ducasse wrote: >> >>> cool >> >> For anyone who's been playing with this, I just posted another new >> revision of Alien that fixes the platform sizes to match C platform >> sizes.

Re: [Pharo-project] CAnalyer

by Alexandre Bergel

Hi Bill. CAnalyzer comprises: - an extension to the Moose FAMIX metamodel to cope with C modules, C functions, C variables... - an importer for Moose that takes as input .xml files generated by srcML - invocation resolution since srcML does not provide this CAnalyzer is meant to be used with Moose and Mondrian. It depends on srcML, which is an excellent tool for getting XML tree from source code. I have been using it for a while already, and have been always happy with it. The squeaksource project description has been adjusted.
