SerialPlugin
by Bernat Romagosa July 19, 2013

July 19, 2013

Hi list, Any chance to get SerialPlugin working in Pharo 2.0 under Debian? I tried to follow the instructions in http://car.mines-douai.fr/2013/01/serialplugin-in-the-pharo-vm/ but I didn't succeed. The second step already failed giving me the folowing error: Error: Could not find accessor for variable named "bytesToAllocate" in NBUnixExternalHeapManager>>#mmapLength:prot:flags:into: Thanks! -- Bernat Romagosa.

MongoDB open close in production (singleton or not)
by Sabine KnÃ¶fel July 18, 2013

July 18, 2013

Hi, Currently, I create one single Instance of Mongo when starting the Image. | theRoot | theRoot := Mongo default. theRoot open. and use it for all requests. In my development environment that works fine. My question is: is this the right way and will it work for production? Or is it better to create one Mongo instance for each request (and close it after the request)? And, btw: what would happen if I would open many Mongo connections but never close any? Or better one Instance per user session?

development image memory use: 180MB in Pharo 2 vs. 40MB in Pharo 1.4.....
by Paul DeBruicker July 18, 2013

July 18, 2013

I've been developing in the same Pharo2 image for a couple weeks and its now 180MB. I use the same development habits as in Pharo 1.4 but there the image would only be about 40MB. Using SpaceTally I can see that I have 40 MB of Arrays. And 10MB of Bitmaps. 8MB of Floats, Strings, & OrderedCollections. My domain objects comprise about 20MB of the image. Is there a way to check for memory leaks over a long period of time? Thanks Paul

no SortedDictionary available?
by Sabine KnÃ¶fel July 18, 2013

July 18, 2013

Hi, I am looking for a Dictionary which sorts its entries by the keys. Some Kind of "SortedDictionary". I assume, there is none - right? I only found the OrderPreservingDictionary (which is not the same). Background: storing exchangerates by date.
