[Pharo-project] Proposal for usable Smalltalk IDE
by empty Sept. 23, 2009

Sept. 23, 2009

Hi, I'm a ten year Smalltalker, in spare time. I found most IDE are not usable at all. To enable usable an IDE I suggest separating info input service and edit service and mouse selection services. In short, each inputting area on any browser/inspector/explorer/etc should have a visible reference Letter and a floating inputting window for inputting service. On that window you type cd target-area-ref-letter return then the floating input window move to the target area waiting for user input and auto-complete/in-line edit things will be supported by inputting service here in the input window. When user return, the text is send to the target. Mousing/key board selecting/editing etc. will be handled by the current topic area and one get the input window back to work on. This could be think of as a modernized xterm in Smalltalk.

[Pharo-project] Mutation Testing
by John M McIntosh Sept. 22, 2009

Sept. 22, 2009

Although I didn't get to see the presentation on Mutation Testing at ESUG, I did have a chance to see it the following week after my XtC talk in London. At the time I had promised to try it out. http://www.slideshare.net/esug/mutation-testing My Fractions Calculator has 105 Sunits to confirm the keyboard state machine works, the calculator grammar via Smacc is sane, and the math results are as defined by either Wolfram Alpha, or Microsoft Excel rules. Actually the number of tests are 210 because they are subclassed for Excel, but running just the Wolfram Alpha based ones were sufficient to test the code base. I had two problems, one where the RBParser choked on #(#foo:. #bar:.) Oops the code really should have been #(#foo: #bar:) or {#foo:. #bar:.}, still it shouldn't have given a walkback. The second was that I had to increase the memory ceiling of the macintosh squeak carbon VM from 512MB to 1.5GB via the info.plist so that a recursive error situation would not make the VM run out of memory before the Mutation testing runtime monitor would kill the runaway task. As a result over the 105 SUnits it reported: It made 874 mutants, 873 got killed, 1 was terminated. Which means I don't have any head scratching this afternoon. -- = = = ======================================================================== John M.

[Pharo-project] Less Complex Development Image
by Ken Dickey Sept. 22, 2009

Sept. 22, 2009

Greetings, I was disappointed to download the latest development image and find the old Complex cruft hanging around. Is there a compelling application that this enables? I would really prefer that the Complex class be removed from the 1.0 candidate. Thanks for listening, -KenD

[Pharo-project] Pharo by example: version naming
by Schwab,Wilhelm K Sept. 22, 2009

Sept. 22, 2009

It's nice to see the book available! Thanks, and congratulations!! Please look at section 3.7; this is probably a problem throughout the book though. The last sentence in 3.7 states "Since Pharo 3.9, ..." which really is referring to Squeak. It should be cleaned up in some way out of respect for the good in Squeak and since there will probably (eventually) be a Pharo 3.9. Bill

Please exchange the figure 1.1 in the PBE Book and replace it with the attached image. The old image included the squeak logo and *.app is for Mac only (windows has EXE and the linux uses a *.sh script), also versions easily change so I use neutral names here. Also attached the document icons as ZIP for general use Bye T. -- Jetzt kostenlos herunterladen: Internet Explorer 8 und Mozilla Firefox 3 - sicherer, schneller und einfacher! http://portal.gmx.net/de/go/atbrowser

[Pharo-project] How to use the OmniBrowser regex refactor to transform code?
by T.J. Richter Sept. 22, 2009

Sept. 22, 2009

I feel stupid for asking this, but I Googled and found nothing, checked classes for comments and found nothing, then skimmed Pharo by Example and also found nothing. Lukas mentioned helpfully in another thread that you can use the regex refactoring tools in the OmniBrowser to transform code, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it. I figured out how to "scope" the refactoring to a class or class hierarchy, which results in a gold window popping up with the selected class(es) in the left-most panel. When I right-click on the class at the top and choose "refactor->source regex", I get a template in the code panel that looks like this: ORSourceRegexRefactoring new "Example 1: Replace symbols with strings" replace: '#(\w+)' with: '''$1''' ignoreCase: false; "Example 2: Replace 4 spaces with tabs" replace: ' ' with: ' ' ignoreCase: false; yourself I wanted to rename a method (and all senders of it in the selected scope) from "nextValue" to "nextItem", so I edit the template to this: ORSourceRegexRefactoring new replace: 'nextValue' with: 'nextItem' ignoreCase: false; yourself I highlight it all with Alt-a, then Do It with Alt-d, but nothing seems to happen.

[Pharo-project] Fwd: [squeak-dev] About Collections-ul.137..140
by Damien Cassou Sept. 21, 2009

Sept. 21, 2009

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Levente Uzonyi <leves(a)elte.hu> Date: Sun, Sep 20, 2009 at 4:38 PM Subject: [squeak-dev] About Collections-ul.137..140 To: squeak-dev(a)lists.squeakfoundation.org Hi! Just uploaded four packages to inbox: Collections-ul.137, Collections-ul.138, Collections-ul.139 and Collections-ul.140. These packages reimplement #rehash and #grow in Set and its subclasses (except MethodDictionary). The ideas come are from Ralph Boland's FasterSets project, but the implementation is different. According to my measurements they are even faster. The four packages should be loaded in the given order one-by-one otherwise mc might remove old methods before adding new ones, etc (couldn't come up with a better mc based load mechanism). While I was rewriting these methods, I found that KeyedSet and KeyedIdentitySet are not used (no references, no senders) in the trunk. Also checked that in a 3.8.1 full image they have no references (just senders in DecompilerTests >> #decompilerDiscrepancies). I think they might be removed from the base image and moved to a separate package.

[Pharo-project] Gofer vs Installer

What is the difference in: goals? implementation? speed? license? other aspects? I can see that they both can install packages in a pharo image. Thanks -- Miguel CobÃ¡ http://miguel.leugim.com.mx
