REMINDER: TechTalk today, 16hs UTC. This are the links.

by Esteban Lorenzano

Hi, Soâ¦ techtalk is today 16hs. That means: 17hs Europe 16hs UK (and no, this is not a political joke :P) 08hs San Francisco 13hs Buenos Aires 12hs Santiago (I think) â¦ and I donât know other timezones. The links we have for the meeting: youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/nicopasserini/live discord: https://discord.gg/Sj2rhxn The idea is that we will try to give a live presentation and we can use the discord channel to send questions that will be solved. This is a little bit less participative than the other talks, but it was the only way we found to stream video that everybody can see (and that it remain for the future generations ;) ). cheers, Esteban

19430 promoting DelaySpinScheduler from experimental

by Ben Coman

A long time ago the current delay scheduler had been operating long enough to no longer consider it experimental. I've finally got around to renaming the class here.... https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/19430/Promote-DelaySpinScheduler-from-exp… But trying to do... Delay delaySchedulerClass: DelaySpinScheduler in the post-load is a problem for the CI monkey. That post-load might work fine with the integrator. Or otherwise can someone manually execute it in the image after the slice is integrated. cheers -ben

Re: [Pharo-dev] Image start-up hooks

by Ben Coman

Look at class refs to SessionManager. I was going to refer you to its class comment but its incomplete. Could someone knowledgeable update the class comment to define what support methods are required and the preferred way to register. I'm a bit confused. I'm familiar with #startUp/#shutDown from Delay, but its not obvious from the list of senders which invokes these. I do see TestSessionHandler defines #startup: and the only sender is #runStartup: But I see it also defines #startupHandler: whose only senders (one step removed) are tests, so how does this method fit into the architecture? cheers -ben On Tue, Dec 13, 2016 at 5:25 PM, Michel Onoff <michel.onoff(a)web.de> wrote: > Hi, > > is there a way to register arbitrary code to be run at image start-up and > shutdown? > > Thanks > Michel > >

Have a look at the 'system startup' protocol of TBehavior (as implemented by classes) and look for the startUp & shutDownmessages. There is also the 'snapshot and quit' protocol of SmalltalkImage with messages like addDeferredStartupAction: and addToStartUpList: In newer Pharo images (5+ I think), SessionManager is your friend, a cleaner rewrite.

Hi, is there a way to register arbitrary code to be run at image start-up and shutdown? Thanks Michel

Re: [Pharo-dev] RBPattern matching dynamic array expressions

For example the string '`.head `.@tailâ is parsed into a message node with selector `.@tail and a receiver variable node `.head. To my knowledge this is not a valid syntax as the names that have a dot in the beginning should become matchers for statements. Also for example if you write `#@literal the list marker is not doing anything when combines with the literal pound as far as I know, and some people are confused about this, were the any reason why this is not simply rising a syntax error? > The @ in a literal can make sense when you are matching inside of a literal array: (RBParser parseRewriteExpression: '#(`#@a 1 `#@b)') match: (RBParser parseExpression: '#(2 1 3 4)') inContext: Dictionary new As for the permissiveness, I built the rewriter to be used internally for the refactorings so I wasnât too concerned about that when it was built. Only after using the rewrites internally and seeing how useful they were, did we decide to surface them to the user. The rewriter was easier to build without all of the validation checks since we could just extend the existing parser to check for pattern tokens in a few places. If you add the validation to the parser, then youâll need to override several methods to check for valid input. Another validation approach is to validate the tree after it has been created. I think Niall Ross did this for the VA Smalltalk rewriter about a decade ago. Using this approach one can also validate the replacement expression only references patterns defined in the search expression. I think this is probably the best way to add validation. BTW, the scanner actually allows any characters between the initial backquote and the first letter character, so you can have `!@#$%^&*()0987654321~`<>?,./{}|[]\a for a pattern variable name. The code only processes the first modifier characters that it knows about. For the example above, since it doesnât know how to process the ! modifier character, it stops looking so the pattern above will only match a variable node. If I was defining the pattern modifiers again using the prefix backquote like is done in the existing RB, I think I would make `name match anything (so you didnât need to add an @ so often since that is the most common case), and add a | to signify a variable match (e.g., `|var) â although the bar character may be too easily confused with a lower case L. Lists, @, could become * or + or {2,3} to look like regexs. For example, you could have a pattern like this: | `|{3,}temps | `.*Statement This would match sequence nodes with 3 or more temps and 0 or more statements. In SmaCC, I took the approach to spell out what I wanted. The patterns begin and end with a backquote. For example, if I wanted a list, instead of using a special @ character, I would send the #beList message (e.g., `name{beList}`). These can be combined/cascaded: `name{beList; testBlock: [:nodes | â¦ do something to test the nodes â¦]}`. While some can understand and use these pattern rewrites, I donât know if they will ever be easy enough for most people to use. Instead I think some other interface should be built for these people. For example, I can envision a system where a user provides an sample of something to find. The system would build some potential patterns and find potential matches, and then the user would look at the matches and tell the tool which were valid or not. After a few iterations, hopefully the tool has figured out the pattern the user wanted. John Brant
