[Pharo-project] Bug in pharo image
by Garret Raziel Jan. 15, 2012

Jan. 15, 2012

Hi, I think I found bug in pharo image. I would post it in bug tracker but I don't know if it is not duplicate to this bug http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=3349&can=1&q=ConnectionQueu…. If you create ConnectionQueue to listen to some port, send it message "getConnectionOrNil" and there IS connection, debuger pops out with "MessageNotUnderstood True>>isConnected". I searched through code and obviously it is problem in ConnectionQueue>>listenLoop, that sends bad message to socket (Socket>>waitForConnection:), that returns true or false, not connection itself. It is works in squeak image. Should I post it to bugtracker? Or am I wrong? And isn't it duplicate to that link? Thanks, Jan

[Pharo-project] Method recategorization proposal for TestCase class
by NicolÃ¡s Paez Jan. 15, 2012

Jan. 15, 2012

Hi people, I was trying to measure coverage of my code and I realized the method *TestCase class>>packageNamesUnderTest* belogs to a category called **sunitgui*, *shouldn't it belong to coverage category?* I was about opening an issue for this, but I wanted to check it first because maybe there is a reason I don't understand.

[Pharo-project] SmallLint
by Simon Allier Jan. 15, 2012

Jan. 15, 2012

Hi, I'm working on SmallLint. I have several ideas for improving SmallLint: The correction of some rules can be automated (eg Rule Unnecessary "= true" or Variable not reference) -> add transformation to these rules. Some rules such as Spelling rules (eg comments Method: Checks for spelling errors in method comments., 7088 problems) are not very interesting and could be removed (or treated differently?) Adding an indice of difficulty to correct the rule: - Level of automation for the correction of the rule (automatic, semi-automatic, â¦). - Scope of the rule (block, method, class â¦). Other costs could be - cost of applying (may be the rule requires to compute something else, or if a rule has 50000 hits, it generates an extra cost to analyze the results) - cost of NOT applying the rule (if it could detect a bug and we don' t apply it ...) Adding a manifest to manage/mark falses positive: - one manifest (a class) by package. - Manifest: exclusion of class/method of the package for rules or for all the rules. - Exclusion of rules for the package. One could also think on how to efficiently visualize the results of smallLint ... Simon Allier

[Pharo-project] What is the difference between ActionSequence and WeakActionSequence
by Guillermo Polito Jan. 15, 2012

Jan. 15, 2012

In 1.3 they look the same, in 1.4 ActionSequence is not there any more... Is the second one replacing the first one? are there any differences for the user? Thanks, Guille

[Pharo-project] Preparing 1.4 beta
by StÃ©phane Ducasse Jan. 15, 2012

Jan. 15, 2012

Hi since we will not have OPAL as preview in 1.4 and we do not need to change the refactoring engine code, we will unload AST and RBEngine package from the system and start to pass in 1.4 beta probably at the end of the month. One idea was that we could have decent tools to work on the core but this is not the case. We will encourage people to try their packages to 1.4 beta and rc so that we can produce 1.4. Stef

Re: [Pharo-project] Saga of trying to integrate IDE with OpenGL continuesRe: [squeak-dev] Re:NativeBoost and NBOpenGL on Mac?

Sounds good. BTW, the trend of popularity continues. This latest video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5GHRaIwCS4 has had 45 views since I put it up yesterday and the first video on that topic is now at 145 views (my most popular video took 2 months to get that many views). Once you get NBOpenGL and GLDisplay cross-platform, I suspect there will be a rather large number of OpenGL programmers testing how it works. Games, GUI testing, algorithmic and other technical visualization. Cobalt/Croquet integration, etc. Lots of potential here. L.

[Pharo-project] CommentReference removed?
by Guillermo Polito Jan. 14, 2012

Jan. 14, 2012

I am trying to load OB in Pharo 1.4, but It seems CommentReference was removed from the image... Shouldn't it go to a deprecated package? Should we reitroduce it with the proper deprecation? Guille

[pharo list added back in for real this time] Would it be best to have a VM primitive that actually gives this info in a cross-platform way since it is going to be more and more useful as time goes on?

It also creates an OpenGL context for that window and makes it current. After calling the primitive you can use any OpenGL commands to draw directly into it using the hardware renderer.
