Re: [Pharo-users] accessing local/instance variables with metalinks

by Marcus Denker

Hello, Not yet. It should be easy to add if we find a good API for itâ¦ I will work on it this week (I have blocked some time for RF related hacking). e.g I think we have to extend the syntax for reifications to use classes. something like: arguments: {RFTempReification named: #trachelCanvas}; The current symbols then would be the same as using RFReification named: #object But subclasses can be used directly and parametrized.

Great works ! I will add some contents for Actalk chapter. BTW I update a little bit the PolyMath book. There was some sections missing.

A little prototype kernel in 9 methods :)

by stepharong

Hi guys I'm thinking to package some of my language design knowledge in a kind of book. Probably to be used to give a lecture on OOP languages. I have class-based reflective kernel. This is several years that I was thinking about prototype kernels and I decided to relax and implement one for fun over the week-end. I will probably look at mixins, traits, talents, split objects in the future. Since I cannot compile the book on jenkins, I join the pdf.

Re: [Pharo-users] Hash collision

Which it must, since they compare equal. 2) #hashBytes:startingWith: is designed to hash *bytes*. A BoxedFloat64 is two *words*, which ensures that when you hashMultiply the high-order bits of each word get discarded. I tried implementing a hash that actually uses the bytes of the float (code at bottom of this message). I didn't do any real analysis of it, but at least it gives different answers for 0.5 and -0.5. I think it matches the *intent* of the code above (though would still need the integer check, which I didn't bother with). > > but anyway that doesn't actually help this case... > -0.5 hash "==>120484352" > 0.5 hash "==>120484352" > > I see Squeak5's float hash has changed... > Float>>hash "Squeak5" > (self isFinite and: [self fractionPart = 0.0]) ifTrue: [^self > truncated hash]. > ^ ((self basicAt: 1) bitShift: -4) + > ((self basicAt: 2) bitShift: -4) > This is slightly better. It's only discarding eight bits out of 64, instead of discarding 32. But it would be better to mix all the bits into the hash. Note that all of these hash implementations end up manipulating at least one large integer most of the time, since each word can be a large integer. It's possible that a primitive to copy a word object into the equivalent bytes might speed things up somewhat.

Fuel fuelAfterMaterialization - wrong order?

by Petr Fischer

Hello, I have "Model" class, dictionary instance variable in it and in this dictionary, there is "Task" and "Meeting" classes (Meeting is subclass of Task). I have problem with fuelAfterMaterialization order, if I log debug line in fuelAfterMaterialization, I got this fuelAfterMaterialization call order: Task Task Task ... Task Model (!) - here? why? Model is root object Meeting Meeting Meeting and some other objects, collections etc. Problem is, when I need to do some things with Tasks and Meetings in fuelAfterMaterialization of Model (eg. rebuild caches), I am excepting, that all fuelAfterMaterialization calls is done before on all Tasks and Meetings - because they are stored in instance var dictionary of Model. Is it a bug? Thanks! Petr Fischer
