QA rule suggestion - assignment symbol slips
by Ben Coman Nov. 28, 2017

Nov. 28, 2017

A quick suggestion for anyone working on QA rules... Just now I am playing with FFI a bit and switching back a forth from Pharo to C and sometimes I end up doing... location = Libclang clang_getRangeStart__range: range. thus QA reported a. "Temporaries read before written" and b. "Temporary variables not read or not written" but these weren't helpful since I was stuck staring at it saying to myself "Well range is assigned before its used, and location is assigned, so bah! the rules seem broken" and for about 30 seconds I remained blind to the truth I'd left the colon off the assignment operator. I'd expect newcomers from other languages might slip in the same way, so a higher priority rule extending [b.] that identifies such variable followed by equal-sign would provide pertinent feedback. cheers -ben

clarifying pharo crashing issue(s)
by Tudor Girba Nov. 28, 2017

Nov. 28, 2017

Hi, There are recurrent reports that Pharo is crashing often. However, at the moment I believe the reasons are not clarified. So, this mail is not about fixing the issues, but first about clarifying what they are. Namely: - I know about the typing problem on MacOS (Sierra or High Sierra). I encounter this problem daily (literally), and I know that I am not the only one. For example, this can occur when I type âclasssâ fast and then delete the last character. It is documented here: https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/issues/141 - Some people talk about the FreeType problem, but I could not find a place where this is described. So, while this might be a problem, I am not sure that this problem is actually causing crashes. So, first question: - is Pharo crashing on another system than MacOS Sierra or HighSierra? - how does the FreeType problem look like? Cheers, Doru -- www.tudorgirba.com www.feenk.com "Beauty is where we see it."

Problem with primitive instVarAt: / instVarAt:put:, what should we do ?
by ClÃ©ment Bera Nov. 28, 2017

Nov. 28, 2017

Hi All, It seems Pharo is lacking the slotAt: / slotAt:put: primitive and that the instVarAt: / instVarAt:put: primitive is not doing what it says it does. When I look at Object>>#instVarAt: I see: "[...]Answer a fixed variable in an object. The numbering of the variables corresponds to the named instance variables, followed by the indexed instance variables. Fail if the index is not an Integer or is not the index of a fixed variable[...]" Now in Pharo 7 when one does: #(iv1) instVarAt: 1, one gets #iv1. So the comment is wrong. The reason for this is that instVarAt: / instVarAt:put: should be primitive 73/74, while they are in Pharo 173/174 (primitive slotAt:/slotAt:put:). The slot primitive access pointer slots of objects, whichever inst var or variable fields. A good example would be: | t | t := #temp. [ t ] instVarAt: 4, one gets #temp So I have two solutions for this problem: 1) We change the instVarAt: / instVarAt:put: primitives comments to match the slotAt: / slotAt:put: behavior, and in Pharo instVarAt: / instVarAt:put: means in factslotAt: / slotAt:put: . 2) We change the instVarAt: / instVarAt:put: primitives to primitive 73 and 74, we introduce slotAt: / slotAt:put: with primitive 173/174 and we ask everyone to fix their code relying on instVarAt: / instVarAt:put: acting as slotAt: / slotAt:put: What do you think ?
