Hi, I finally managed to track the problem with keyboard events with OSWindow. However, I cannot fix it without introducing a crash in an autorelease, or a memory leak. The SDL2 problem can be fixed by applying the following patch: diff --git a/platforms/iOS/vm/Common/Classes/sqSqueakEventsAPI.m b/platforms/iOS/vm/Common/Classes/sqSqueakEventsAPI.m index 94c3c4c82..4b5aec8c5 100644 --- a/platforms/iOS/vm/Common/Classes/sqSqueakEventsAPI.m +++ b/platforms/iOS/vm/Common/Classes/sqSqueakEventsAPI.m @@ -100,9 +100,7 @@ sqInt ioProcessEvents(void) { // We need to run the vmIOProcessEvents even if we are using SDL2, // otherwise we end with some double free errors in an autorelease pool. - vmIOProcessEvents(); - if(ioProcessEventsHandler && ioProcessEventsHandler != vmIOProcessEvents) - ioProcessEventsHandler(); + ioProcessEventsHandler(); However, this introduces a crash in an Objective-C autorelease pool, in at leas two locations: diff --git a/platforms/iOS/vm/OSX/sqSqueakOSXApplication+events.m b/platforms/iOS/vm/OSX/sqSqueakOSXApplication+events.m index 4f2ac06ea..c1ec3e1ea 100644 --- a/platforms/iOS/vm/OSX/sqSqueakOSXApplication+events.m +++ b/platforms/iOS/vm/OSX/sqSqueakOSXApplication+events.m @@ -152,9 +152,10 @@ - (void) recordCharEvent:(NSString *) unicodeString fromView: (NSView <sqSqueakO } } - NSString *lookupString = AUTORELEASEOBJ([[NSString alloc] initWithCharacters: &unicode length: 1]); + NSString *lookupString = [[NSString alloc] initWithCharacters: &unicode length: 1]; [lookupString getBytes: &macRomanCharacter maxLength: 1 usedLength: NULL encoding: NSMacOSRomanStringEncoding options: 0 range: picker remainingRange: NULL]; + [lookupString release]; evt.pressCode = EventKeyDown; unsigned short keyCodeRemembered = evt.charCode; diff --git a/platforms/iOS/vm/OSX/sqSqueakOSXOpenGLView.m b/platforms/iOS/vm/OSX/sqSqueakOSXOpenGLView.m index c441332a3..72aa8c42d 100644 --- a/platforms/iOS/vm/OSX/sqSqueakOSXOpenGLView.m +++ b/platforms/iOS/vm/OSX/sqSqueakOSXOpenGLView.m @@ -747,7 +747,7 @@ - (NSString *) dealWithOpenStepChars: (NSString *) openStep { -(void)keyDown:(NSEvent*)theEvent { - keyBoardStrokeDetails *aKeyBoardStrokeDetails = AUTORELEASEOBJ([[keyBoardStrokeDetails alloc] init]); + keyBoardStrokeDetails *aKeyBoardStrokeDetails = ([[keyBoardStrokeDetails alloc] init]); aKeyBoardStrokeDetails.keyCode = [theEvent keyCode]; aKeyBoardStrokeDetails.modifierFlags = [theEvent modifierFlags]; @@ -757,6 +757,8 @@ -(void)keyDown:(NSEvent*)theEvent { [self interpretKeyEvents: down]; self.lastSeenKeyBoardStrokeDetails = NULL; } + + //[aKeyBoardStrokeDetails release]; } In the last location I had to comment my attempt on doing a manual release because it introduces a crash. OSWindow can be tested in a fresh Pharo image by doing the following in a workspace: FFIExternalStructure allSubclassesDo: #rebuildFieldAccessors.
SDL_Event initialize. SDL2 findSDL2. OSWindowWorldMorph new open.
I have attached the full diff with my bug fix attempt. I hope that someone that is more familiar with the OS X platform code and Objective-C can remove these autoreleases without introducing crashes. When executed in a debugger, the crash is detected in SDL2 Cocoa_PumpEvents: void
Cocoa_PumpEvents(_THIS)
{ @autoreleasepool
{
/* Update activity every 30 seconds to prevent screensaver */
SDL_VideoData *data = (SDL_VideoData *)_this->driverdata;
if (_this->suspend_screensaver && !data->screensaver_use_iopm) {
Uint32 now = SDL_GetTicks();
if (!data->screensaver_activity ||
SDL_TICKS_PASSED(now, data->screensaver_activity + 30000)) {
UpdateSystemActivity(UsrActivity);
data->screensaver_activity = now;
}
}
for ( ; ; ) {
NSEvent *event = [NSApp nextEventMatchingMask:NSAnyEventMask
untilDate:[NSDate distantPast] inMode:NSDefaultRunLoopMode dequeue:YES ];
if ( event == nil ) {
break;
}
if (!s_bShouldHandleEventsInSDLApplication) {
Cocoa_DispatchEvent(event);
}
// Pass events down to SDLApplication to be handled in sendEvent:
[NSApp sendEvent:event];
}
}}
For tracking these actual calls to #autorelease, I had to set a breakpoint on the #autorelease Objective-C selector, and log the stacktrace to find where it is called in our code. Best regards, Ronie
