managing modification of class initialization methods
by Ben Coman March 5, 2019

March 5, 2019

In relation to developing sample solutions for an Exercism exercise, the following observation was made about class initialization... > class is initialized on load - and not when you modify it - so this can be very confusing for users My first thought was to wonder if Quality Assistant could track whether a class initialize method had been run after it was modified, and display alerts. Alternatively, I wonder if a reasonable pattern would be to couple class-side lazy initialization with a pragma to reset a variable when the method is saved... MyClass class >> referenceData <onSaveResetVariable: ReferenceData> ^ ReferenceData := ReferenceData ifNil: [ 'reference data' ] cheers -ben

Weird FFI method redefinition in Pharo 6
by Eliot Miranda March 4, 2019

March 4, 2019

Hi All, I'm trying to debug remaining limitations in Image Segment support in Spur using a case provided by Max Leske. This is a pair of Pharo 6 images, one of which saves an image segment the other which loads it. Both use OSEnvironment>>getEnv: to access environment variables. The base definition of OSEnvironment>>getEnv: is !OSEnvironment methodsFor: 'accessing' stamp: 'auto 5/3/2016 10:31'! getEnv: arg1 "This method calls the Standard C Library getenv() function. The name of the argument (arg1) should fit decompiled version." ^ self ffiCall: #( String getenv (String arg1) ) module: LibC! ! but as I'm using the VM Simulator to debug the image segment issues I need to avoid the FFI, which isn't yet simulateable. So I redefine OSEnvironment>>getEnv: as follows, and then save and exit. !OSEnvironment methodsFor: 'accessing' stamp: 'EliotMiranda 02/27/2019 17:09'! getEnv: aByteStringOrByteArray "This method calls the Standard C Library getenv() function. The name of the argument (arg1) should fit decompiled version." <primitive: 'primitiveGetenv' module: '' error: ec> ec == #'bad argument' ifTrue: [aByteStringOrByteArray isString ifFalse: [^self getEnv: aByteStringOrByteArray asString]]. self primitiveFail! ! But, and here's the weird bit, when I start up the image, the new definition has been discarded and replaced by the original. WTF?!?! Why is this happening? How can I disable this? The only way that I've found I am able to save with a new version is by doing a Save As... to a new name. This is fine, but I find the current behavior extremely unhelpful. Is it a bug? If it is intended, whats the rationale? _,,,^..^,,,_ best, Eliot

GT FileReference inspector menu items
by Alistair Grant March 4, 2019

March 4, 2019

Hi Doru, I've been adding menu items to the AbstractFileReference Items tab by modifying AbstractFileReference>>gtInspectorItemsIn: This obviously isn't a good way to add menu items as different packages will over-write each other and was wondering if an extensible framework had been included in the new GT toolkit (e.g. using pragmas to define the menu items)? (or am I missing something in Pharo 8)? If not - consider this a feature request :-) P.S. The new String inspector as demoed in https://twitter.com/feenkcom/status/1102159122571710465 looks great! Being able to see the character easily is something I've wanted many times. Thanks! Alistair
