[Pharo-project] [ANN] NativeBoost v 1.2 -> release
by Igor Stasenko June 2, 2012

June 2, 2012

Hi, as i promised, after some testing i changed the 1.2 version from #development blessing to #release. Here some more changes: - reorganized categories (mainly cleaning up the NativeBoost-Core category and move some stuff to NativeBoost-Core-FFI category) But this one might be interesting even to non-NB users: i added a fresh implementation of weak finalization registry (NBFinalizationRegistry). In short: - it's not using WeakIdentityDictionary to store registered objects - it produces less garbage, under high add/finalization pressure - it does not allows removal of object once it is registered, since it doesn't pretends to be a Collection, like WeakRegistry does. - if you really need to avoid executing the finalization, use the object returned by #add: method, which is an instance of NBWeakFinalizerItem and send #doNotFinalize message to it (note, any other methods are considered private and messing up with them can be fatal) You can extract implementation and use it without loading NB, but it will work only under VMs with support of new finalization scheme. (but since NB-enabled VMs already having it, i can afford to use it, without having crippling backwards compatibility schemes) -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko.

[Pharo-project] Pharocasts ... updating and screencasts wanted
by Torsten Bergmann June 1, 2012

June 1, 2012

Hi all, http://www.pharocasts.com/ is a little bit outdated since it still shows Pharo 1.3 instead of 1.4. Download linke also goes to 1.3. Would also be nice if someone can record some new screencasts on things like - Nautilus - Roassal - Zinc/Zodiac - New Fuel Release with visual debugging support - Ring - FileSystem - NativeBoost - Nagare logging library - Artefact PDF library - Athens - Working with SS3 - ... and send them to Laurent. Any takers? Thx T. -- Empfehlen Sie GMX DSL Ihren Freunden und Bekannten und wir belohnen Sie mit bis zu 50,- Euro! https://freundschaftswerbung.gmx.de

In the implementation of alex it was mainly a couple of classes generating special byte codes. (in fact at the beginning he got a different vms and after he did not needed it). Now I would really like to see if we do not prefer to have selector namespaces = each symbol is prefixed with the namespace it is compiled in. > I'm more than happy to do the dogwork. I'd just like to know whether > I'm signing up for months of work or not. No ask alex for the code it was really simple. Now the fact that an expression was different when executed a different class boxes made me uncomfortable. I would love to have a real case study showing the advantage because we have extesnions: adding method overriding methods. then what is the visibility of the extension - global - local = selector namespace - classboxes > Thanks! > > frank >
