Re: [Pharo-users] Using Utility classes - follow up to How do I save contents of Workspace into a collection?

by StÃ©phane Ducasse

Frank did you see that you can create instance variable accessor using the class browser. I did not check in OmniBrower in Pharo1.4 but in Nautilus in 2.0 this is there. And it is a refactoring so it makes sure that you do not override by accident an existing method. Stef

You could call ClassX addVariablesNamed: aCollection in this case Is ClassX an example of the MyUtils class Igor mentions? I tried that option using ClassDescription but got an MNU error.. e.g. right now I use the first option in this manner: | anyVariable | anyVariable := ClassType new. anyVariable addVarsAndTheirAccessors: #('aaaa' 'bbbb' 'cccc') How would I attach the method to a utilities class and ClassDescription for that matter as it would then apply to all classes? -- Frank Church ======================= http://devblog.brahmancreations.com

Change in NativeLinux32>>getGlobalSymbolPointer

by Jesus NuÃ±ez

I have made a small change in the code because NBExternalAdress does not inherit from NBExternalStructure anymore. It is safe?. I mean so far no problems but my understanding is limited so I haven't make any commit. getGlobalSymbolPointer: symbolName | bytes addr | bytes := ByteArray new: 8. self bootstrapGetGlobalSymbolPointer: symbolName into: bytes. addr := bytes unsignedLongAt: 1 bigEndian: false. addr = 0 ifTrue: [self error: 'failed to get a symbol address: ' , symbolName]. +^ NBExternalAddress ulongAt: addr -^ NBExternalAddress value: addr Cheers

Is there a way to automatically format a method during the compilation phase or immediately after?

by Frank Church

I followed the advice from this question on stackoverflow 14234003 and from there created this simple method to add instance variables and the basic accessors in one go. addVarsAndTheirAccessors: aCollection on: aClass aCollection do: [ :each | aClass addInstVarNamed: each; compile: each, ' ^ ', each classified: 'accessing'; compile: each,': aByteString ',each, ' := aByteString' classified:'accessing' ] Currently I have to click on the created methods and format them in the browser. Is there an option to format the method during the compile phase or an method that can be passed a collection of methods to format automatically? -- Frank Church ======================= http://devblog.brahmancreations.com
