[Pharo-project] [OT] Smalltalk on JVM
by Torsten Bergmann Aug. 6, 2011

Aug. 6, 2011

At http://medianetwork.oracle.com/media/show/16803 scroll down and there you will find a new video "A Renaissance VM: One Platform, Many Languages" with a talk about the new "invokedynamic" (JSR292). John Rose also talks about all this in the context of Smalltalk. So if you are interested in ST and VM's this may be interesting too. There is also RTalk which maybe interesting in this context too, see http://astares.blogspot.com/2011/08/smalltalk-on-jvm.html Bye T. -- NEU: FreePhone - 0ct/min Handyspartarif mit Geld-zurÃ¼ck-Garantie!

Hi, http://www.appdal.com is my homepage url. Recently, I started Pier server in my MacOSX snow leopard server at url http://appdal.com:8080/ . I want to get rid of the port description 8080 from url by setting a new host assigned to port 8080 like capture image below. http://forum.world.st/file/n3714794/sccc.png Anyone succeeded doing this?

[Pharo-project] The shiftEnclose: horror show
by Nicolas Cellier Aug. 4, 2011

Aug. 4, 2011

I'm typing this message on a mac French keyboard. That means I can obtain the holy brackets [ | ] only through weird keystroke combinations | = shit+option+L [ = shift+option+( where shift+5 is ( Enclosing a text in square brackets would require some finger torture both in Squeak/Pharo shift+option+command+( But this does not work because of #shiftEnclose: rules encountered in #initializeShiftCmdKeyShortcuts (found both ParagraphEditor class and TextEditor class) "Note: Command key overrides shift key, so, for example, cmd-shift-9 produces $9 not $(" '9[,''' do: [ :char | cmdMap at: (char asciiValue + 1) put: #shiftEnclose: ]. "({< and double-quote" "Note: Must use cmd-9 or ctrl-9 to get '()' since cmd-shift-9 is a Mac FKey command." shiftEnclose: is badly designed because it does hardcode the keyboard layout (see below). This is not compatible with modern VMs, at least the mac ones, because they deliver a unicode codePoint for $[ or $|, not a raw keycode. It's easy to remove this anachronism and correct the mapping: "On some keyboards, these characters require a shift" '([<{|"''' do: [:char | cmdMap at: char asciiValue + 1 put: #enclose:]. To avoid pushing a mac-centric change in trunk, I need to know if the Linux/Windows VM would support above modification. Can anyone check for me ? Nicolas Example of hardcoded keyboard layout: TextEditor>>shiftEnclose: aKeyboardEvent "Insert or remove bracket characters around the current selection. Flushes typeahead." | char left right startIndex stopIndex oldSelection which text | char := aKeyboardEvent keyCharacter. char = $9 ifTrue: [ char := $( ]. char = $, ifTrue: [ char := $< ]. char = $[ ifTrue: [ char := ${ ]. char = $' ifTrue: [ char := $" ]. char asciiValue = 27 ifTrue: [ char := ${ ].

It would be interesting to know from *which* image version the update was tried. 140? but even that should not be relevant. The best is to just try again. -- Marcus Denker -- http://marcusdenker.de

[Pharo-project] classDescription change
by StÃ©phane Ducasse Aug. 4, 2011

Aug. 4, 2011

Hi veronica I was reading your change in ClassDescription>>definition aStream cr; tab; nextPutAll: 'category: '; store: self category asString. replaced by store: (self environment organization categoryOfElement: self name) asString. and I'm wondering why this is needed? Because I was thinking that I would prefer to have category fixed. Now category Class>>category "Answer the system organization category for the receiver. First check whether the category name stored in the ivar is still correct and only if this fails look it up (latter is much more expensive)" | result | self basicCategory ifNotNil: [ :symbol | ((self environment organization listAtCategoryNamed: symbol) includes: self name) ifTrue: [ ^symbol ] ]. self basicCategory: (result := self environment organization categoryOfElement: self name). ^result

[Pharo-project] [ANN] SmalltalkHub demo online
by Torsten Bergmann Aug. 4, 2011

Aug. 4, 2011

Serge wrote >Very similar to forks in github: if you have no access to a project or >the project seems stalled, you fork the project ans apply your own >patches. But with one difference: a fork means really forking (the whole) codebase and this fork is usually available at a different location. You can (and have to) completely maintain this fork then. This could be good or bad. The more forks exist the more people can be confused... But an projects "Inbox" would be bound to the project - so project developers/admins could decide which "inbox" contribution to accept and integrate into the code base. People who provide good contributions could later be added as project developers and even when a contribution is not integrated it is close to the project for others to use. Currently we do something similar with Pharo and PharoInbox - but they are two separate projects in SqS. A default "Inbox" for any project would IMHO a nice addition.
