Easy to use execution counter with Icon in Editor
by Marcus Denker June 22, 2016

June 22, 2016

Hi, In the 60#103 there will be a new kind of âWatcherâ: an execution-counter. Using the âsuggestionâ menu one can add a counter to any AST node. After, the editor shows a (c) Icon. Mouse over â> current state of the counter is shown. Of course, UI is just a stand-in and could be *much* better. But from a debug perspective, it already should be quite useful to get a feel of how often something gets executed. Henrik suggest this as a demo (and an example of how to install a Counter without using the UI): ExecutionCounter installOn: (RubParagraphDecorator >> #doesNotUnderstand:) ast Marcus

You might also want to include the following in the i386 section of the Ubuntu installation: apt-get install libcairo2:i386 While Athens isn't readily used, it is in the image. Cheers, Jeff

Pharo vs. Squeak performance
by John Brant June 21, 2016

June 21, 2016

I have some code that creates a several hundred MB model. When I run the code under Pharo it takes ~2.5 minutes to run. However, if I run the same code in Squeak, it takes ~2 minutes. Since my code just uses base collections and streams, I thought the times should be very similar between the two. After a little investigation, I noticed that even simple things like âObject newâ can take much more time in Pharo. Hereâs an example that I executed in Squeak and Pharo: Time millisecondsToRun: [1 to: 100000000 do: [:i | Object new]] Squeak times: 1255 1257 1261 1265 1280 1294 1314 1337 1350 1360 Pharo times: 1815 1818 1870 1879 1900 1922 1944 1952 1958 2170 The results are the first 10 executions sorted by time after opening an image. Pharo doesnât always give these poor results. Occasionally I can get times as good a Squeak. For example, I was able to get these times in Pharo: 1253, 1284, 1297, 1314, 1317. However, it generally takes ~1.8 seconds in Pharo vs. the ~1.3 seconds for Squeak. The worst time I got for Squeak was in the 1.6 second range. The worst for Pharo was in the 4.3 second range. Does anyone know why Pharo is slower? Is there some memory setting that I need to change? John Brant

Inheritance is nice but as for our infamous stream hierarchy processes would probably need to be grouped by different traits. But I think that groups and tags may be two different things. Tonyâs âcurrent process groupâ for instance would have to implemented as a special tag already, unless a new process simply inherited all tags. In Pharo (I donât know about Squeak) we now have a session manager that can be asked if the current session has changed, i.e. whether the image has been restarted. Now, instead of checking in with the session manager explicitly I could use a âsession dependantâ process, which terminates when the session changes. Cheers, Max

June 21, 2016

Hi, A bit late this ANNâ¦ sorry We will organize a Pharo sprint / Moose dojo Friday, 24 June, starting at 10:00am. (Local Time Paris/Berlin/â¦.). Remotely, you can join us on Slack or the IRC channel #pharo on irc.freenode.net <http://irc.freenode.net/> server. During the sprint, we will try to synchronize local and remote Pharo sprinters. Locally, there will be: - Inria Lille, Building B, third floor (RMoD offices). (As the building is not open to the public, please contact us before in case of visiting) - Santiago de Chile (starting a bit later due to time-zone). DCC University of Chile. Marcus

endlessloop interruption
by stepharo June 21, 2016

June 21, 2016

Hi I asked eliot and clement if a better management of endlessloop was on the agenda of Cog and eliot told me that normally it is already the case. Do you have endless loops that cannot be interrupted? Stef
