[Pharo-project] Another silent failure?
by Schwab,Wilhelm K Sept. 16, 2010

Sept. 16, 2010

I am playing with a new library and for kicks thought I would call its get-version function: | buffer | buffer := String new:80. PLplotLibrary default cPlgver:buffer. buffer. The above appears to do nothing; the buffer remains blank, and there is no error raised from it. I tried something more complicated involving external address and #alloc: and got the version number. That is encouraging from a perspective of talking to the library, but then I had to square the above failure with my use of memcpy() not long ago (different topic). In that case, I had real need to allocate a buffer in a fixed heap, but was told that I could ultimately copy from said buffer (which lives across multiple gcs and would move) into a ByteArray of the needed size, which would not move during the memcpy() call. That worked. So I tried | buffer | buffer := ByteArray new:80. PLplotLibrary default cPlgver:buffer. buffer asString. and get the version number. What's up? Why is it ok to pass a byte array but not a string? If there really is a difference, there should be an exception hinting that something is wrong and what it might be - right? Bill

[Pharo-project] Implicit conversions ?
by Sven Van Caekenberghe Sept. 16, 2010

Sept. 16, 2010

Why is that the following 2 expressions work #(1 2 3 4 5 6) asByteArray replaceFrom: 1 to: 3 with: 'abc'. 'abcdef' replaceFrom: 1 to: 3 with: #(70 71 72) asByteArray. while the next 2 don't (#(70 71 72) asByteArray) at: 1 put: $a; yourself. 'abcdef' at: 1 put: 75; yourself. and there exists 'abcdef' byteAt: 1 put: 75; yourself. but there is no (#(70 71 72) asByteArray) charAt: 1 put: $a; yourself. Is the implicit conversion in #replaceFrom:to:with: by design ? And why is there no equivalent single operation ? Sven PS: I ran into this trying to deal with the concept of a 'bivalent' stream, one that can be read/written both byte and char based, some streams like SocketStream support this a little bit, but not really.

[Pharo-project] RFB Server not working on Squeak 4.1?
by Lawson English Sept. 15, 2010

Has anyone tested the RFB server class in Squeak 4.1? I can't get it to work in Mac OS X 10.6 or in at least variant of Linux. Haven't tested it in Pharo. Lawson
