Nice idea. I've been wondering if there might be some way of having a SafeFFI for use during development and by newbies. After all, gdb doesn't crash when the program its hosting crashes I guess there is *some* trick could be used. It could even be a *lot* slower and still be useful, to be turned off at deployment. Actually just last night I was contemplating what a Pharo system might be like with FFI-libclang dynamically compiling in-Image C code, (re-)linking it into a dynamic library and immediately calling those functions using FFI again. My very first graduate programming job was a company developing satellite image processing software that got a lot of their speed by generating/compiling/linking/loading C functions for filter-chains to apply to the huge data sets. Maybe something like... Behavior subclass: #CLanguageDescription instanceVariableNames: 'index translationUnit' classVariableNames: '' package: 'ExternalLanguage-C' "Provide compatibility to integrate equivalent of C files in our System Browser. - class-pane==>C-file, method-pane==>types and functions" ProtoObject subclass: #CLanguageRootHierarchy instanceVariableNames: '' classVariableNames: '' package: 'ExternalLanguage-C' "My subclasses are instances of CLanguageDescription compiled by a C compiler such that pure C syntax can be used. i.e. positional function arguments f(a,b)" At a minimum, it might bring FFI function callout definitions closer to pure cut and paste. (Although the current UFFI callout format is pretty good.) A *lot* further stretch... you might store all the VM platform sources inside the image, as well as the generated C code from slang primitives. Updating the slang method immediately re-generates the C code, compiles it and updates the dynamic library. Dependencies could be tracked at a finer level that standard file based makefile, such that an update to a platform C type or function declaration would be linked to other types and functions using (based on AST analysis and the minimum set recompiled immediately. Unit tests for platform sources would be Smalltalk based FFI callouts invoked from TestRunner. (But I know... its easy to dream. harder to do.) cheers -ben

(But I'd be curious to learn of a documented workflow doing this.) One of the great features of Pharo is the persistency of the Image and its just as easy to update to the latest code using Monticello or github, with the additional benefit that you get a diff of changes to review. The main benefits of daily image builds are CI running unit tests that include the latest Pharo changes, having a stake in the ground of a working system for "new" developers to get up an running, and keeping a deployable end-user product up to date. I personally tend to stick with one Image for a while on one task, and jump to the latest image any time I would be wanting to start with a fresh image anyway. > how could that be implemented > without too much hassle of needing a server with some kind of build system.

Re: [Pharo-users] trimRight: problem

by Henrik Nergaard

'This is a string.' trimRight: [ :c | c = $. ] works fine for me. The trimRight method will return a new string object without the punctuation. If you just do the expression without assigning it into a variable/method call, then it will have no effect because strings are immutable so the original string will remain unchanged. ------------ | myString trimmedString | myString := 'This is a string.' . trimmedString := 'This is a string.' trimRight: [ :c | c = $. ]. 1 assert: (trimmedString last = $.) not; assert: myString ~~ trimmedString; assert: myString last = $. ----------- Other trim options: 'This is a string.' allButLast. 'This is a string.' reject: [ :c | c =$. ]. 'This is a string.' copyReplaceAll: '.' with: ''. '' join: ($. split: 'This is a string.' ). 'This is a string.' onlyLetters.
