Hi,
The pharo 6 vm crashed when I pasted a long text file in the body of a method. Surprisingly, the vm did not crashed when I pasted a file of approximately the same size but only containing a single string ('adafcawa' copy-pasted on 8000 lines).
The crash occured after I: - Opened a fresh image (60450) - Created a package, with a single class, with a single method - Tried to paste the content of the attached file into the methods body (the vm froze for 20-30 seconds then crashed)
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64 bits vm obtained from http://get.pharo.org/ (the '60+vm' package) image 60450

Hi, this is somehow related to syntax highlighting and that the parser for syntax highlighting stops due to a syntax error. You can disable syntax highlighting. SHPreferences enabled:false.
And if you just paste this code as a string
foo ^ 'YOUR_FILE_CONTENTS'
the syntax error occurs from line 35 of your file contents:
Other Elements. All syntactic structures that don't fall
this lines contains a quote and the parser tries to parse the remaining part as code.
What I don't understand, sometimes it is working (code pane just shows the code with all after the text "don't" highlighted red, indicating a syntax error). And sometimes it does not work and the vm just consumes a ridiculous amount of memory ~ 1GB.
Ok, thanks. I got around it by pasting the file pieces by pieces. Although I'm not sure it's all there is, because even pasting the content of the file after having removed this quote (and checked that it was the only quote of the file) into the method body crashes the vm. foo ^ 'FILE_CONTENT_WITHOUT_QUOTES' Thomas
