[Pharo-project] NativeBoost Win32 Examples
by Torsten Bergmann Nov. 11, 2012

Nov. 11, 2012

Hi Igor, thanks for adding me to the NativeBoost repo. I uploaded some basic samples for Win32 and adopted the config. In Pharo 2.0 one can load latest stable right from the world menu "Tools" -> ConfigurationBrowser" -> "NativeBoost" Here are some samples people can now play with: 1. Set the pharo window title NBWin32Window getFocus setWindowText: 'Set Pharo window title' 2. Access environment variables: NBWin32Shell getComputerName NBWin32Shell getUserName NBWin32Shell getWindowsDirectory NBWin32Shell getNumberOfProcessors ... 3. Access to control panel applets NBWin32Shell showODBCSettings NBWin32Shell showControlPanel ... 4. Open web pages, files, documents, ... NBWin32Shell shellBrowse: 'http://www.pharo-project.org' NBWin32Shell shellExplore: 'c:\' NBWin32Shell shellOpen: 'c:\pharo.pdf' ... 5. Lock workstation NBWin32Shell lockWorkstation 6. Sends a string to the debugger for display: NBWin32Shell outputDebugString: 'Trace me' These outputs can be viewed with dbmon.exe from Microsoft or DebugView http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896647.aspx Have fun! Bye Torsten

[Pharo-project] unpacking cairo.tgz fails during VM build
by Ciprian Teodorov Nov. 11, 2012

Nov. 11, 2012

Hi guys, While trying to compile the NBCog vm on my MacOS machine I have found a strange issue... I do not know if it comes from my machine configuration or if it is more general than that... Mainly after loading the cairo package the compilation process fails to unpack the cairo.tgz archive... It seems that the extension of the package changes (the downloaded package has a .tar.xz extension, which gets dropped and replaced by .tgz) and my "tar" install can't cope with that.... I have fixed it temporarily as shown bellow: CMCairo>>unpack "..." gen set: #unpackTarget toString: '${libSourcesDir}/touch.cmake'. gen puts: 'add_custom_command(OUTPUT "${unpackTarget}" COMMAND tar -Jxf "${libName}.tgz" COMMAND touch "${unpackTarget}" COMMENT "Unpacking ${libName} ... " ) '. by CMCairo>>unpack "..." gen set: #unpackTarget toString: '${libSourcesDir}/touch.cmake'. gen puts: 'add_custom_command(OUTPUT "${unpackTarget}" COMMAND cp "${libName}.tgz" "${libName}.tar.xz" COMMAND unxz "${libName}.tar.xz" COMMAND tar xf "${libName}.tar" COMMAND touch "${unpackTarget}" COMMENT "Unpacking ${libName} ... " ) '. Is this a known issue, or my "tar" install is wrong?

[Pharo-project] What did you guys do to startup-time ?
by Miloslav.Raus＠cuzk.cz Nov. 11, 2012

Nov. 11, 2012

Who snuffed the poor guy ? I don't know what magic (yea, i know, not just one magic, bunch of magix really ;-) you did but ... I downloaded Pharo 2.0 to give it a whirl (I love smalltalk and keep playing with it / write an app in it every once in a while), unzipped it, doble clicked the binary and the window jumped me so fast i nearly fell of my chair (a positive WTF moment ;-). And not just old Mr. Startup Time, you killed Lady Delay too. I remember squeak / older pharo versions feeling a bit sluggish (a slight delay between clicking and the menu popping up / whatever), but now it is blazing fast. Just saying "Great work" would be an understatement / denigration. * rausm deeply bows in silent awe

Hi guys: |byteArray| byteArray := (ByteArray new: 1024*1024). [ ByteArray streamContents: [:s | 16 timesRepeat: [ s nextPutAll:byteArray ] ] ] timeToRun Gives me around 1 second. Isn't that too much? or is it normal/expected? Anything I could improve? Thanks, -- Mariano http://marianopeck.wordpress.com

[Pharo-project] [NativeBoost] pass an array of args to external function
by Max Leske Nov. 10, 2012

Nov. 10, 2012

Hi Working with NativeBoost I'm trying to figure out if there is a way I can pass an array of arguments to a function like so: MyExample run: 'echo' args: { 'foo' }. nbRun: str args: args <primitive: #primitiveNativeCall module: #NativeBoostPlugin error: errorCode > ^ self nbCall: #( int run_command (String str, Array args) ) module: 'librunner.dylib' The intention is of course to be able to pass arguments to execve() (for example). I guess I could simply parse a string on the C-side but I'd rather not. Any suggestions? Cheers, Max

Dear Pharoers Here is the result of the work we did around the consortium for Pharo for about 2 years. We took into account all your remarks over the years and we think that the result is good and corresponds to what the community can support. This consortium is important for Pharo's future and it will help us to deliver a system to help you making business. Our goal is to be able to collect fundings to pay at least one full time engineer. The idea is that all the consortium members will sign the same agreement. We will not handle modifications per partners. Now since we are starting the process if you spot some glitches on the form let us know. We can discuss and fully stabilize one version. We suggest to read the document. - If you agree to sign it and send it to us (in two copies if you do it by surface mail at INRIA - S. Ducasse - Pharo, 40, avenue Halley, Parc Scientifique de la Haute Borne, BÃ¢t.A, Park Plaza, Villeneuve d'Ascq, FR-59650, France.), so that we sign it too. - Don't forget to complete your legal mention on first page and your contact details on article 14 before signing. :) We will launch soon two web sites: - one for the Pharo user association and - one for the Pharo consortium. A side note: we will communicate about it later and separately but Inria decided to support the consortium by paying one extra year to Igor Stasenko. This is around 60 Keuros in addition to the year of Esteban Lorenzano and previous years of Igor. I really want to thank Inria for the constant support and the work of S. Karpf, P. Moreau and S. Perin.
