by Mariano Martinez Peck Dec. 29, 2015

Dec. 29, 2015

I tried: Gofer it smalltalkhubUser: 'Moose' project: 'GToolkit'; package: 'ConfigurationOfGTDebugger'; load. (Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfGTDebugger) loadBleedingEdge. but that loads a hell of stuff I don't want...and conflicts and.. So.. how can I get simply GTDebugger with the SUnit extensions? Thanks in advance, -- Mariano http://marianopeck.wordpress.com

by Torsten Bergmann Dec. 29, 2015

Dec. 29, 2015

Hi, just as an info and in case you missed it but might be interested: Dolphin Smalltalk for Windows 7 will be released open source (MIT licensed) on GitHub today ([1]/[2]). The sources for both the image and the virtual machine will be available. For those who do not know it: Dolphin is a Smalltalk system for Windows provided by Andy Bower and Blaire McGlashan from www.object-arts.com The article from BitwiseMag [3] gives an overview. The existing Dolphin 6.2 codebase was brought by Andy Bower now under Git and compiles completely under VisualStudio Community 2013. This is a new version, Dolphin 7, that is modelled off the previous X6.1 Professional Edition (although you can choose to build Dolphin Community Edition from it if you like). Have fun T.

Hi Folks, I've installed pharo-vm and pharo-launcher from AUR as stated in the pharo site. Everything works fine for Pharo 4.

How to use ExternalAddress in callouts with new FFI?
by Mariano Martinez Peck Dec. 29, 2015

Dec. 29, 2015

Hi Esteban, Previously, I was doing with NB something like this: *pointer := NativeBoost allocate: 4.* *self primitiveWhatever: pointer* and: *primitiveWhatever: pointer* * <primitive: #primitiveNativeCall module: #NativeBoostPlugin error: errorCode >* * ^ self nbCall: #( int void (NBExternalAddress pointer ) )* But of course that doesn't work with latest FFI. So I tried instead: *pointer := ExternalAddress allocate: 4.* *primitiveWhatever: pointer* * <primitive: #primitiveNativeCall module: #NativeBoostPlugin error: errorCode >* * ^ self nbCall: #( int void (ExternalAddress pointer ) )* But then I get a ExternalAddress class #asExternalTypeOn: which is sent in FFICallout >> resolveType: Any idea how can I use ExternalAddress in the signature of the FFI primitive call? What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance, -- Mariano http://marianopeck.wordpress.com

Back to Europe
by stepharo Dec. 28, 2015

Dec. 28, 2015

Hi guys We are back to Europe. - I gave 4 days lecture in cameroon and we got a lot of fun even if the room was fully packed. From 8 to 16h30 with Carambars - Then in Togo I gave one afternoon lecture to University catholic of Lome. - Then Esteban arrived and we gave 4 days lecture from 8 to 17h in Universtity of Lome. In the future we hope to get another lecture in Lome - probably two. People from Center Togo (Paillard and Sabirou) jumped on pharo and started to teach it just one week after I went there in September and they love it. I hope that they will write a paper for IWST. They hope their students will create software for companies within one or tewo years. People of the university of Togo may be interested to develop software with Pharo. The TinyBlog tutorial went really really well. Thanks Olivier Auverlot for the first version. I'm happy that I push it so much. https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/job/TinyBlogTutorial/6/artifact/book… I'm adding a REST chapter. Once the tutorial is finished we will translate it in english. I may go back to togo to give a lecture to teachers in May. We will see :) Since our flight was cancelled (yes we woke two time at 3h45 and 1h in the morning) I wrote the following tutorial based on the great lecture esteban did on Voyage. https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/view/Books/job/PharoBookWorkInProgre… Stef

NativeBoost class>>#isEnabled ?
by Alexandre Bergel Dec. 28, 2015

Dec. 28, 2015

Hi Esteban, The following expression "NativeBoost isEnabledâ raises an error in a Spur image. Would it be difficult to restore the original semantics of this method? Our 3d effort is currently stuck in a pre-spur image.

Here's the thing that gets my goat: I had already acknowledged it was enough for the list and was signing off further comment when Ben decided he really needed to add his two cents. It is unfortunate he did not spend his change in a positive manner but wished to be negative and critical. I was unwilling to let that go by as an implicit restriction on the substance of my posting, into the future. ...and the thread is twice as long. Not my doing. Some things must be challenged.

Wait a second here. Let's be clear. In your first paragraph you say no need to feel that I am censored or ostracized, then the second paragraph you censor me. Alright, I ask you all. Which meta-model is acceptable for practical work in my stack? I need a meta-model to describe it, or rahter anyone should be able to skin the meta-model they want and that makes most sense. These consciousness meta-models, or meta-memes, from religious tradition are well-defined models. Is the cellular meta-meme acceptable or is also the Mythic meta-meme? Or are both having no place here? This is Smalltalk to me and my practical use of it. It is directly related to interactive fiction, which was just posted about. I am not trying to be belligerent, nay defend myself from hypocrisy and secure my rights, here. So which is the acceptable meta-model?
