You might be onto something there. The only difference between Squeak's and Pharo's TestCoverage is #flushCache.

Re: [Pharo-dev] RPackage and overrides

by StÃ©phane Ducasse

For marcus and igor. Now when we work on the core you have some methods with some behavior and since you want to have a small kernel you define some methods in a certain way. Now after you want to load code on top and suddenly you want to change the behavior to use the loaded package. And I do not see how you do it without override (yes you can define a block and get all the core behavior customisable via block and propose setters fro these blocks. Of course there is a risk that another package may override the same methods but the risk is low.

Re: [Pharo-dev] Running coverage breaks the VM

by Guillermo Polito

Ok, I was playing with flushing caches and stuff... Its still a bit obsure to me why the example in the workspace works and the code coverage doesnot. However, I managed to hack the VM to make it work :). It looks like the VM is treating the objects as methods, as cog methods. So I added the following validation in the commonSend: methodHeader2 = longAt((GIV(newMethod) + BaseHeaderSize) + (HeaderIndex << ShiftForWord)); if (isCogMethodReference(methodHeader2) *&& isCompiledMethodHeader (methodHeader2)*) { /* begin externalizeIPandSP */ assert((((usqInt)localIP)) != (ceReturnToInterpreterPC())); GIV(instructionPointer) = oopForPointer(localIP); GIV(stackPointer) = localSP; GIV(framePointer) = localFP; executeCoggedNewMethodmethodHeader(1, methodHeader2); } And it works :). I cc Eliot, so maybe he has an idea... Guille On Thu, May 30, 2013 at 5:43 PM, Guillermo Polito <guillermopolito(a)gmail.com > wrote: > Yes, this is a problem with Cog and Method wrappers it seems.

Reflectivity beta

by Camille Teruel

Hello everyone, Reflectivity beta is out ! Reflectivity is a tool that permit to annotate AST nodes with "metalinks". You can put metalinks at different "positions": before: the metalink is executed before the node instead: the metalink is executed instead the node after: the metalink is executed after the node onError: the metalink is executed only if the execution of the node raises an error onSuccess: the metalink is executed only if the execution of the node raises no error When you put metalinks on some node of a method's AST, a wrapper is installed in place of the method. When executed, this wrapper compiles an expanded version of the AST that takes metalinks into account and install the resulting compiled method. Examples: increaseAllNumbersIn: aCompiledMethod "A method that increases all numbers in aCompiledMethod" aCompiledMethod reflectiveAST forAllNodes: [ :node | node isLiteral and: [ node value isNumber ] ] putInstead: [ :node | RFMetalink fromExpression: (node value + 1) asString ]. removeMetalinksIn: aCompiledMethod aCompiledMethod reflectiveAST removeAllMetalinks In nautilus, you have a menu entry called 'Edit metalinks' that permit to edit the metalinks of the node corresponding to the selected piece of code. As an example use case, another entry called 'Put breakpoint' adds a metalink that corresponds to 'Halt now' before the selected node. Remember that it is a beta, so you might find errors and things are likely to change. You can load Reflectivity with: Gofer it smalltalkhubUser: 'RMoD' project: 'Reflectivity'; configuration; loadDevelopment Or you can download it from RMoD's CI: https://ci.inria.fr/rmod/job/Reflectivity/ Camille

Re: [Pharo-dev] Running coverage breaks the VM

by Guillermo Polito

Yes, this is a problem with Cog and Method wrappers it seems. Camille found not so long ago that when installing a method wrapper with instance variables, the VM just crashes. I think this should be the case. Anyway, I was just playing a bit because I want to use method wrappers for some experiments. So, the following looks like working when using wrappers with no inst vars. method := MyA>>#a. [ MyA methodDictionary at: #a put: MyWrapper new. anA := MyA new. res := anA a. ] ensure: [ MyA methodDictionary at: #a put: method. method flushCache. ]. res Doing the same with a wrapper with inst vars just crashes the vm. However, if flushing the method cache after installing the method in the method dictionary, makes it work... method := MyA>>#a. [ MyA methodDictionary at: #a put: MyWrapperWithInstVar new. method flushCache. anA := MyA new. res := anA a. ] ensure: [ MyA methodDictionary at: #a put: method. method flushCache. ]. res So it looks like a problem in the JIT cache not cleared :). Now, I was looking at the TestCoverage class, to see how to make it work, but not results yet :P.
