Debugger highlinting (in Pharo 8)

by TomaÅ¾ Turk

Dear all, I have some packages for Pharo 8. The debugger highlights the code wrongly - it highlights the code three, four or more characters to the right (further) as it should. Can this be a result of Cr & Lf incompatibilities between different operating systems, or something else? How does Pharo highlight the code, I mean on the basis of what..? Thanks in advance for any help. Tomaz

UKSTUG Meeting: Esteban Lorenzano - Pharo-CIG: C++ Interface Generator - 23 April 2025

by UK Smalltalk

For our April meeting, we'll be hosting Pharo's Esteban Lorenzano to talk about Pharo-CIG - a C++ Interface Generator. The Pharo FFI (Foreign Function Interface) system is an excellent tool that enables Pharo users to create bindings with external C libraries. However, there's a significant drawback that often discourages its use: the bindings must be manually created, a process that can be slow and prone to crashes. Pharo-CIG ( https://github.com/estebanlm/pharo-cig ) proposes a solution to bridge that gap. Esteban Lorenzano ( https://github.com/estebanlm/ ) studied Computer Sciences at Universidad de Buenos Aires, and worked since 1994 in several object-oriented and low-level technologies, in different software companies, serving in various positions from programmer to senior architect. In 2007 he co-founded Smallworks to offer Pharo-based agile development projects. Since 2012 he dedicated full time to developing the Pharo code and community. He works with the INRIA-EVREF team in Lille, France, as core developer for Pharo, being responsible with the coordination of new releases and the implementation and maintenance of several Pharo libraries. This will be an online meeting. If you'd like to join us, please sign up in advance on the meeting's Meetup page ( https://www.meetup.com/ukstug/events/305761373/ ) to receive the meeting details. Donât forget to bring your laptop and drinks!

Hello, I hope this message finds you well. This is to inform you about the available sorter options in our code completion engine and how to change them as needed. Currently, there are four different sorter configurations you can choose from: 1. AlphabeticSorter â Sorts suggestions in alphabetical order. 2. ReverseAlphabeticSorter â Sorts suggestions in reverse alphabetical order. 3. NoSorter â Displays suggestions in the original order as provided by the completion engine. 4. SizeSorter â Modifies the suggestion list to prioritize and return the closest match based on what you are currently typing. If you would like to change the sorter, please follow these steps: Open Settings â Code Browsing â Code Completion â Sorter , then select SizeSorter (or any other preferred sorter). Default Sorter : NoSorter Best regards, -- Omar ABEDELKADER Doctorant, Ãquipe EVREF [ https://www.inria.fr/fr/evref | inria.fr/fr/evref ] [ https://www.cristal.univ-lille.fr/profil/omarabedelkader/ | cristal.univ-lille.fr/omarabedelkader ] / Institut National de Recherche en Sciences et Technologies du NumÃ©rique Parc Scientifique de la Haute Borne Park Plaza - BÃ¢timent A - 40 avenue Halley 59650 Villeneuve d'Ascq - France Si vous lisez ce courriel en dehors de vos heures de travail, merci de ne le traiter quâen cas dâurgence avÃ©rÃ©e.

Survey: Identifying and Fixing Undesirable Behaviors Across Software Versions
