[Pharo-project] Issue reported: Category inconsistency in ClassDescription
by NicolÃ¡s Paez Sept. 8, 2010

Sept. 8, 2010

I have added a new issue to the tracker: http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=2918 Description: If you browse the ClassDescription class you will find two different categories that I think conceptually are the same: filein/out and fileIn/Out (just a casing difference).

Re: [Pharo-project] Sockets in Pharo CollaborActive Book
by Schwab,Wilhelm K Sept. 8, 2010

Sept. 8, 2010

Stef, Noury, Thanks for doing this, and for the preview! Sometimes being a good friend means getting tough, and it's time for that. You are doing a great job of writing up how to create poorly designed socket applications. They are poorly designed because of what we inherit from Squeak. Servers should not listen for a time period; they need to listen until told otherwise, and trigger events (notifications if preferred) when a client tries to connect, at which point a dedicated process accepts the connection - that process more or less is the server. Clients should try to connect and read until told otherwise, either by a watchdog thread or by a user. Nothing should block in either case except the calling Smalltalk Process. If a client program does not hang because of a non-responsive server, an interacting user has the opportunity to hit a cancel button and put an end to wasted effort, or a watchdog can run and similarly #erminate the offending thread. IMHO, we should not direct energy at documenting the current state of sockets; we should do the few remaining things to get something that really works. At the same time, we should try as much as possible to allow IrDA and OpenSSL to appear as options.

[Pharo-project] Experimental Cocoa OS-X based Squeak Cog JIT VM 5.8b7
by John M McIntosh Sept. 8, 2010

Sept. 8, 2010

I've stuck a version (5.8b7) of the cocoa based os-x squeak cog JIT based VM in my experimental folder. Please ensure drawing looks sane, and how it interacts with the mouse and keyboard seems viable. http://homepage.mac.com/johnmci/.Public/experimental/Squeak%205.8b7.app.zip I finished the open/GL tuning and based on benchmarking I simplified the explicit flush required when a Smalltalk Morphic draw cycle fails to do a flush. Lastly I cross check the source code to ensure it compiles correctly for the iOS platform. -- =========================================================================== John M.

[Pharo-project] Magma in Pharo 1.1
by Mariano Martinez Peck Sept. 8, 2010

Sept. 8, 2010

Hi. I was trying the welcome workspace of Pharo 1.1 in order to install Magma but it fails. I am evaluating: Gofer new squeaksource: 'MetacelloRepository'; package: 'ConfigurationOfMagma'; load. ((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfMagma) project latestVersion) load The error was a Sintax Error in lazyX ^ x ifNil: [x _ Period or right bracket expected ->42] I attach screenshot. It seems the problem with the underscore as they are not allowed anymore as asiggment in Pharo 1.1. In order to appear in Pharo welcome workpsace this should be working. If someone makes the changes and updates de configuration please let me know (sorry but I don't have time to do it myself). Otherwise, I will have to remove it from Pharo 1.1 workspace as it doesn't work and makes confusion. Thanks Mariano

[Pharo-project] Why -encoding latin1 in pharo.sh?
by GÃ¶ran Krampe Sept. 8, 2010

Sept. 8, 2010

Hi all! A friend of mine wondered why he couldn't copy/paste a text in UTF8 (with swedish Ã¥Ã¤Ã¶ characters in it) and paste into Pharo without getting a debugger :) It turns out that the One-Click pharo.sh uses "-encoding latin1" when it starts the VM. But the code in Clipboard>>clipboardText evidently presumes that clipboard is coming in as UTF8 always - might be the new clipboard plugin that Michael did that does that? Anyway, why is pharo.sh using "-encoding latin1"? It works fine when that option is removed. regards, GÃ¶ran

[Pharo-project] yarg: Pharo grammar ...
by James Ladd Sept. 8, 2010

Sept. 8, 2010

This is Yet Another Request for the Grammar to Pharo/Squeak Smalltalk? I have seen this: http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/409 but it is very old and doesn't appear to cater for Pharo/Squeak additions. Can someone point me to a more recent grammar? Rgs, James.

[Pharo-project] primitive 65 failures
by Schwab,Wilhelm K Sept. 7, 2010

Sept. 7, 2010

Why does primitive 65 (#next) include a test on the position vs. read length and sometimes fall back on indexing the collection? I have been creating my own stream for serial ports, and it was driving me nuts. After staring at the obvious (the primitive was failing sooner than I expected), I finally looked at Dolphin and saw the same test and fallback. Doing the analogous things in my code left it working a lot better than it had been. What gives? Are we perhaps suffering from a primitive that fails too easily and is running slow code as a result, or is there a "valid" reason for the primitive to fail? Bill
