[Pharo-project] moose description on pharo-project
by Tudor Girba Aug. 29, 2010

Aug. 29, 2010

Hi, Could someone change the description of Moose from http://pharo-project.org/about/success-stories? It should say: "Moose is a platform for software and data analysis" Cheers, Doru -- www.tudorgirba.com "Problem solving should be focused on describing the problem in a way that makes the solution obvious."

Re: [Pharo-project] Fwd: About SPDF
by Christian Haider Aug. 29, 2010

I dont think that this is so easy. My product smallCharts uses the PDF implementation as its primary vector graphics output format - I rely on it. What I want is to make the implementation of the spec available to the community. And I would like others to use it and maybe contribute to some of the many uncovered areas of the spec (pixmaps, encryption to name a few). But I dont want to lose control. I dont like several incompatible development streams for different dialects. And I would like to integrate contributions myself. One way to do this is to have the primary implementation in VisualWorks and a reliable, not too intrusive way of exporting it to other dialects. If such an export mechanism would be available, I could do that. But I dont have time to develop one. Any thoughts about such a procedure?

[Pharo-project] Experimental Cocoa OS-X based Squeak Cog JIT VM 5.8b4.
by John M McIntosh Aug. 29, 2010

Aug. 29, 2010

I've stuck a version (5.8b4) of the cocoa based os-x squeak cog JIT based VM in my experimental folder. http://homepage.mac.com/johnmci/.Public/experimental/Squeak%205.8b4.app.zip I spent the last two days becoming very familiar with Open/GL and rewrote the display logic to use Open/GL. I am still doing some further optimization, but people should test this version and let me know what they find. Other Fixes. I think the control-arrow keys should work now, someone test this and let me know. -- =========================================================================== John M.

[Pharo-project] New bytecodes not in blue book ...
by James Ladd Aug. 29, 2010

Aug. 29, 2010

Hi All, I'm looking at translating some bytecodes and they are not specified in the blue book. The following is what I think they mean and I am wondering if someone here could confirm? 97 <8E 00 01> popIntoTemp: 0 inVectorAt: 1 pop into temporary at index 0 the value in vector location 0. vector is at temporary index 1. 109 <8C 00 01> pushTemp: 0 inVectorAt: 1 push temporary at index 0 into vector location 0. vector is at temporary index 1 116 <8D 00 01> storeIntoTemp: 0 inVectorAt: 1 store into temporary at index 0 the value in vector location 0. vector is at temporary index 1. >From what I can tell these bytecodes are added to support closures. Rgs, James.

I have a Smalltalk only (with help of zlib) implementation of PDF (1.7) in VisualWorks. I'd love to have a port for Pharo but not the time to do it... I thought of releasing it as open source. Ideas? Need?

[Pharo-project] Why has MethodFinder a fixed list of results?
by Bart Gauquie Aug. 28, 2010

Aug. 28, 2010

Dear list, I was showing off Pharo to a colleague today and was surprised that. My quick introduction of adding new methods on existing system classes String>>firstLetter ^self copyFrom: 1 to: 1 - extension on String worked immediately. But that: in the MethodFinder evaluating: 'tried'.'t' did not return my method I just added .... :-( Turns out that MethodFinder has a class side Set of Approved and AddAndRemove methods. What is the rationale of this? Should we not allow any method, but exclude some tricky ones (doesNotUnderstand:, ... )? Kind Regards, Bart

[Pharo-project] Why is Stack extending from LinkedList?
by Bart Gauquie Aug. 28, 2010

Aug. 28, 2010

Hi list, is there a specific reason Stack is extending from LinkedList, instead of using a LinkedList internally? To me, it seems that the protocol that LinkedList, SequenceableCollection, ... provides is not the protocol you expect from a Stack? Any thoughts on this? Kind regards, Bart -- imagination is more important than knowledge - Albert Einstein Logic will get you from A to B.
