Improving doc of XMLParser
by stepharo March 12, 2016

March 12, 2016

Hi monty Yesterday one student ask me to import in Moose an XML document. I spent more than 15 min trying.... What would have really help is the following (could you add it into the class comment): Many of the comment do not help because are scarce and not precise enough. To use a SaxHandler subclass it SAXHandler subclass: #MySAXHandler instanceVariableNames: '' classVariableNames: '' category: 'MyXMLImporter' and redefine the method corresponding the notification you want for example: MySAXHandler>>startElement: aQualifiedName attributes: aDictionary self halt. Then to use it simply do | h | h := MySAXHandler new on: FileSystem workingDirectory / 'FILMS.XML'. h parseDocument. ^ h Your method startElement: aQualifiedName attributes: aDictionary should get invoked. I really think that having a tutorial on XML parser ***use*** is cruelly needed. Stef

Fwd: How to access XML tag name?
by stepharo March 11, 2016

March 11, 2016

Hi Yesterday I started to hack a smart SAX handler. The idea is that I want to just specify the tags I want to visit and the SAX handler should invoke (generated) visit methods. Like that I can easily get visitors on XML domain. Here is an example of what I did. | h | h := SmartSAXHandler new visitor: (MyFilmVisitor new visitTags: #(FILM ROLE)); on: FileSystem workingDirectory / 'FILMS.XML'. h parseDocument. ^ h SmartSAXHAndler >> startElement: aQualifiedName attributes: aDictionary (visitor shouldVisit: aQualifiedName) ifTrue: [ visitor perform: (visitor createdVisitSelector: aQualifiedName) with: aQualifiedName with: aDictionary ] Object subclass: #GenericTagSAXVisitor instanceVariableNames: 'visitTag visitTags' classVariableNames: '' category: 'SmartXMLHandler' GenericTagSAXVisitor>>visitTags: aCollection "set the tags that will lead to a call to a visitTag:with: method in the visitor" visitTags := aCollection collect: [ :each | each asLowercase ]. self createVisitMethods. and in a subclass the visit* methods automatically generated Now I could not get when I have a <TITRE>Vertigo</TITRE> where I can get the Vertigo information. I redefined several methods of SAXhandler but without success. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> <FILMS> <FILM annee="1958"> <TITRE>Vertigo</TITRE> <GENRE>Drame</GENRE> <PAYS>USA</PAYS> <MES idref="3"/> <ROLES> <ROLE> <PRENOM>James</PRENOM> <NOM>Stewart</NOM> <INTITULE>John Ferguson</INTITULE> </ROLE> <ROLE> <PRENOM>Kim</PRENOM> <NOM>Novak</NOM> <INTITULE>Madeleine Elster</INTITULE> </ROLE> </ROLES> <RESUME>Scottie Ferguson, ancien inspecteur de police, est sujet au vertige depuis qu'il a vu mourir son collegue. Elster, son ami, le charge de surveiller sa femme, Madeleine, ayant des tendances suicidaires. Amoureux de la jeune femme Scottie ne remarque pas le piege qui se trame autour de lui et dont il va etre la victime... </RESUME> </FILM>

New Cog VMs available
by Eliot Miranda March 11, 2016

March 11, 2016

... at http://www.mirandabanda.org/files/Cog/VM/VM.r3643 CogVM binaries as per VMMaker.oscog-eem.1722/r3643 General: Change vm parameter 65 to be a set of flags, not merely the boolean for MULTIPLE_BYTECODE_SETS, and make the flags answer MULTIPLE_BYTECODE_SETS & IMMUTABILITY. Nuke unused named prim primitiveOriginalMillisecondClock so VM can eliminate ioOldMSecs. Nuke ioOldMSecs and ioLowResMSecs to simplify the tiume management and avoid mistakes were we use different versions of clocks for different parts of the same basic io operations. Nuke SqueakUIFlushUseHighPercisionClock preference. Make the leak checker operational in the non-assert (& non-debug) VM. Cogit: Revise the register saving convention for trampoline calls. Instead of passing in a boolean to indicate if all registers should be saved or not (an aproach Ryan correctly notes is bogus), pass in a register mask of registers to be saved. If the trampoline call has a machine code continuation then the argument is usually callerSavedRegMask, and on MIPS and ARM this is empty. Use the above to move the saving of registers in the store-check into the store-check trampoline and out of the call of the trampoline. Further, use genJumpImmediate: in the immediate test, which saves an instruction. 64-bit Cogit: Fix primtive 171 (primitiveImmediateAsInteger) in the Cogit for SmallFloat. The old code only dealt with Characters. The new code replicates the rotatedFloatBitsOf: scheme in Spur64BitMemoryManager. Spur: Resolve the conflict between 32-bit and 64-bit tag assignments. In 32-bits we have 1=even SmallIntegers, 2=Characters, 3=odd SmallIntegers, and in 64-bits we had 1=SmallIntegers, 2=Characters, 3=SmallFloats. Hence we would want SmallFloat64's identityHash to be 3, which conflicts with 32 bits' odd SmallIntegers. Change is for 64-bits to use 1=SmallIntegers, 2=Characters, 4=SmallFloats. This also means single-bit tests in the Cogit, which produces better code, and no scratch registers to hold masked tags. Hence roll the 64-bit Spur image format version number from 68019 to 68021. Delegate to the object memories to determine the image format version number. Fix the bug in markAndTraceClassOf: that causes the first class table page to become a visible array. Plugins: Fix primitiveFFIIntegerAt for signed 4-byte results. Wuth the support for 64-bit results, signed 4-byte results must be sign-extended to 64-bits. Update primitiveFileRead for Spur. It doesn't need the PrimErrObjectMayMove handling since Spur has pinning. Don't use cCode: pointer aliasing for storing/fetching float/double in FFI primitives. Replace with a call to mem:cp:y: - the first one is dangerous with modern C compilers - while the second is optimized away (no call to memcpy) Fix a missing guard in SmartSyntaxPlugin like explained at http://forum.world.st/VM-safety-missing-failing-guards-in-SmartSyntaxPlugin… Fix two missing guards in VM profiling primitives: one should not use the result of stackObjectValue: before checking for success, otherwise a null pointer exception will occur in case of failure. _,,,^..^,,,_ best, Eliot

Hi, To access environment, I found this command in the mailing list: OSProcess thisOSProcess environment But the OSProcess is not by default in the Pharo. Is there some reason for this? Is there some better way to access environment? Do I need to add this dependency to my project? Gofer new squeaksource: 'OSProcess'; package: 'OSProcess'; load. Regards, Jan

Postdoc in Chile
by Alexandre Bergel March 10, 2016

March 10, 2016

Hi! We have an opportunity for doing a postdoc in Chile, in the field of software engineering and/or data visualization. I could provide a lengthy description about living in Chile, and its fantastic food, latin atmosphere, and gorgeous nature. But I will surely be far from the truth. If you want to know more about this possibility, get in touch! Cheers, Alexandre -- _,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;: Alexandre Bergel http://www.bergel.eu ^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;.
