The 64bits VM has no crash; sometimes I see some temporary freeze (unlocked with Ctrl+., but nothing "locking" is found when the debugger appear).

Does that means all windows user will have to use a cygwin runtime to use pharo ? No. You can build regular DLLs using cygwin. As we did with MSYS (in fact, Pharo.exe too is built with cygwin).

Breaking the 4GB barrier with Pharo 6 64-bit

by Sven Van Caekenberghe

OK, I am quite excited about the future possibilities of 64-bit Pharo. So I played a bit more with the current test version [1], trying to push the limits. In the past, it was only possible to safely allocate about 1.5GB of memory even though a 32-bit process' limit is theoretically 4GB (the OS and the VM need space too). Allocating a couple of 1GB ByteArrays is one way to push memory use, but it feels a bit silly. So I loaded a bunch of projects (including Seaside) to push the class/method counts (7K classes, 100K methods) and wrote a script [2] that basically copies part of the class/method metadata including 2 copies of each's methods source code as well as its AST (bypassing the cache of course). This feels more like a real object graph. I had to create no less than 7 (SEVEN) copies (each kept open in an inspector) to break through the mythical 4GB limit (real allocated & used memory). I also have the impression that the image shrinking problem is gone (closing everything frees memory, saving the image has it return to its original size, 100MB in this case). Great work, thank you. Bright future again. Sven PS: Yes, GC is slower; No, I did not yet try to save such a large image.

Please test new VMs (round one)

by Esteban Lorenzano

Hi guys, I want to start moving the VM stuff into the new structure. Now I know there are still missing things :) Can you download a VM from here: https://bintray.com/estebanlm/pharo-vm/build/201611082123#files <https://bintray.com/estebanlm/pharo-vm/build/201611082123#files> and start using it, and report problems? thanks!

[ann] petitparser2

by Tudor Girba

Hi, I am happy to announce the availability of PetitParser2, a wonderful redesign of the original PetitParser developed by Jan KurÅ¡. https://github.com/kursjan/petitparser2 Highlights: - it introduces the compiler facility that speeds up parsers by a factor of ~2-5x - it introduces the possibility of parsing streams without having them in memory - it comes with a new structure internally that makes it more flexible - it introduces asPParser (not a typo) to be able to have the new version working in parallel with the classic asParser The version is already present in the latest Moose 6.1 in parallel with PetitParser. Also, several of the parsers that are shipping with PetitParser were already copied to PetitParser2 as well. You can find more details here: http://www.humane-assessment.com/blog/introducing-petitparser2/ Some more documentation will follow. I think Jan did a wonderful job and the result is quite exciting. Please take a look and let us know what you think. Cheers, Doru -- www.tudorgirba.com www.feenk.com "What we can governs what we wish."
