New VM Release v10.3.3
by Guillermo Polito Jan. 20, 2025

Jan. 20, 2025

Hi all, Weâve published a new VM release (v10.3.3) to be used with Pharo versions 10 through 13. 10.3.3 includes all changes in 10.3.2 (that was rolled back) plus several improvements. Highlights: - improves the naming schema of built artifacts to differentiate releases from intermediate/nightly builds - is built on the old file server (that we recovered!) to support compatibility with older GLibC versions - builds and run properly on newer linux systems (we fixed a couple of linking and compilation issues with newer versions of gcc) - many improvements in the perm space Please find in the wiki information about the build and versions https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-vm/wiki Full release changes log https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-vm/releases/tag/v10.3.3 Finally, a big thanks to MaxLeske and Norbert for testing, and to everybody who contributed even in the previous conversations. Cheers, G

Need Help with Changing Message Sends in Compiled Blocks
by Sebastian Jordan Dec. 30, 2024

Dec. 30, 2024

TL;DR: I need help changing the message OrderedCollection new to OrderedCollection --> newTenured <-- at a specific offset in a compiled block. I can do this for regular methods, but I get an error when the method is a Block. Hello everyone, I'm trying to automatically change message sends in my code, but I'm having trouble with compiled blocks. For example, I want to change the message OrderedCollection new to OrderedCollection --> newTenured <-- in a specific method. I have the compiled block and the offset (26) for the message I want to change. However, searching for the selector new doesn't work because there can be multiple messages with the same name, and I only want to change the one at the given offset. theMethod | tmp1 | 1 = tmp1 something: [ "rewrite this message send" OrderedCollection new ]. tmp1 otherStruf: [ Dictionary new "do not rewrite this meesage send" ]. ^ self I can change the message when there is no block without any problem using the IR like this: transformMessageSend: compiledMethodOrBlock offset: offset | oldSelector newSelector irSendNode ir irSequences | oldSelector := (compiledMethodOrBlock sourceNode sourceNodeForPC: offset) selector. newSelector := self makeNewSelector: oldSelector. ir := compiledMethodOrBlock ir. irSequences := ir allSequences flatCollect: #children. irSendNode := (irSequences select: #isSend) detect: [ :e | e selector = oldSelector ]. irSendNode selector: newSelector. ^ ir generate selector: compiledMethodOrBlock selector; yourself But I get an error with ir generate when the compiledMethodOrBlock is a Block. If it's a normal compiled method, it works as expected. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks! PS: I'm not forced to do it with the IR, ir can be done by using the AST. The only thing is that I'd like to avoid doing string manipulation Cheers and merry christmas, Sebastian Jordan
