WOW.. Thank you guys for such answers!! It seems this is an hot topic. However, now I will try to hack something on top of Spy and look at Phantom in the weekend ;) Cheers, R On Dec 6, 2013, at 10:35 AM, Marcus Denker <marcus.denker(a)inria.fr> wrote: > > On 06 Dec 2013, at 10:01, Roberto Minelli <roberto.minelli(a)usi.ch> wrote: > >> Hi guys, >> >> I am using Spy for my project, and I need to do something which, on top of my knowledge, is not supported. >> >> Here is the point: Spy allows to insert code before (#beforeRun:with:in:) and after (#afterRun:with:in:) and works perfectly. >> >> Now suppose I want to inject some code *inside* the method, e.g., >> >> aMethodToBeProfiled >> >> do something >> >> "Injected code accessing some fields of the current instance of this objectâ >> Transcript show: self field asString. >> >> Is there any support for this? >> > > Sadly not yetâ¦ we plan to have real support for this in Pharo4. > > The AOP solutions (both AspectS and Phantom) do *not* support point cuts on sub-method > concepts like âinstance variable accessâ. > > The stuff I did for my PhD supports this quite nicelyâ¦ but that I have not yet ported to Pharo. > (The idea is to do an âengineering gradeâ pass over this and put it in Pharo not as a research > prototype but as a real, production ready concept). > > I really need to push thisâ¦ people need it. > > There is a way to do all this on a lower level (e.g. AST transformation or IR transformation)â¦ I will write a mail how to > do that later the weekend. > > Marcus

Review someone

by Benjamin

Hi guys, could someone have a look at this issue ? https://pharo.fogbugz.com/default.asp?12304 Itâs pretty simple, but I am facing the MC filter slowness 200 times per day, so if someone review it, then we can put it into Pharo, and make the world a better place to live. So if you want in a coupe of minutes makes me happy, and a better world for you children, you know what to do :) Ben

The AOP solutions (both AspectS and Phantom) do *not* support point cuts on sub-method concepts like âinstance variable accessâ. The stuff I did for my PhD supports this quite nicelyâ¦ but that I have not yet ported to Pharo. (The idea is to do an âengineering gradeâ pass over this and put it in Pharo not as a research prototype but as a real, production ready concept). I really need to push thisâ¦ people need it. There is a way to do all this on a lower level (e.g. AST transformation or IR transformation)â¦ I will write a mail how to do that later the weekend. Marcus

I also think you should have a look at Phantom :) Maybe Johan will give you more details :) Ben On 06 Dec 2013, at 10:14, Torsten Bergmann <astares(a)gmx.de> wrote: > Hi Roberto, > > usually what you need is support for so called ABIA (Around, Begin, Inner and After) execution. > Brings Smallscript back to my brain which had nice support for this. > > In Squeak there was AspectS, I dont know if there is a port of AspectS for Pharo. > > Maybe the PHANtom project can be of help here as it claims to be a modern aspect language > for Pharo: > > http://de.slideshare.net/esug/phantom-a-modern-aspect-language-for-pharo > > Hope this helps > > Bye > T. > >> Gesendet: Freitag, 06.

Re: [Pharo-dev] [Spy] How to inject code *inside* a method

Hi Roberto, usually what you need is support for so called ABIA (Around, Begin, Inner and After) execution. Brings Smallscript back to my brain which had nice support for this. In Squeak there was AspectS, I dont know if there is a port of AspectS for Pharo. Maybe the PHANtom project can be of help here as it claims to be a modern aspect language for Pharo: http://de.slideshare.net/esug/phantom-a-modern-aspect-language-for-pharo Hope this helps Bye T. > Gesendet: Freitag, 06.

You could probably solve that with aspects. There was some talk about an aspect project a while ago but I forgot what it was called.

[Spy] How to inject code *inside* a method

by Roberto Minelli

Hi guys, I am using Spy for my project, and I need to do something which, on top of my knowledge, is not supported. Here is the point: Spy allows to insert code before (#beforeRun:with:in:) and after (#afterRun:with:in:) and works perfectly. Now suppose I want to inject some code *inside* the method, e.g., aMethodToBeProfiled do something "Injected code accessing some fields of the current instance of this objectâ Transcript show: self field asString. Is there any support for this? Thanks in advance, R
