Re: [Pharo-users] Literals (Richard Sargent)

Well, set idea was just a small proposal, which had to help me in solving a harder problem. I wanted to add something like extensionable literal. The idea is that when compiler sees some special literal, it reads it, turns into an object and sends #parse message to it. After that literal answers something which compiler uses and considers as a result of this literal. Example: `#{1 2 3}` So compiler sees that literal initializes with it and object. Then object receives #parse message. It easily defines that its contents is set ctration and after parsing returns set object. This idea is my original intention. I hope its better than previous.

Literals
by Debiller 777 April 29, 2018

April 29, 2018

You know, literals are quite useful in case when you want to shorten some object initialization. For example #() and {} for arrays and $[]for byte arrays. However, if there is a way to add custom literals, for example for sets (something like #{} I guess)? how to do it? and can some special kind of objects for creating literals easily be added to Pharo?

[Ann] Iceberg 0.7.4
by Guillermo Polito April 28, 2018

April 28, 2018

Hi all, Time for the weekly Iceberg update. The next pharo build will include Iceberg 0.7.4, with many improvements done during this last week. Documentation wise, all documentation/workflow valid for 0.7.3 is still valid for 0.7.4. Thanks to all brave users, issue reporters and contributors :). Key changes: - Several improvements in merging (mostly UI) - Optimize Pharo workflow (less fetches and unnecessary diffs) - Lots of new automated tests to cover merging, reverting and some git interactions that are difficult to capture manually Infrastructure changes: - Since 0.7.2 was released, we made the resolution of making an enhancement in the infrastructure per release - In 0.7.3 we fixed travis CI so builds are run on every commit and on pull requests - In this relese (0.7.4) we introduced in the build tests againt pharo 6.1 and 64 bits * The idea is to prepare the field for a future backport to Pharo 6.1 * And have good 64 bit support * https://travis-ci.org/pharo-vcs/iceberg/builds/372408795 In the next version our idea is to put the focus on enhancing - metacello integration - Pharo6.1 compatibility working smoothly - add a couple of more videos on scenarios like: * how to upgrade and contribute to iceberg * how to review a pharo fix * how to reuse your image for other fixes * handling merges * how to update a fork Here is the detailed changelog with all closed issues during this week: #729 Update .travis.yml to test Pharo 6 and 64 bits #689 Creating a repository in an existing location shows a debugger UI enhancement #556 Removed packages are not removed from git Model bug #727 Adapt properties reading of Tonel projects for Pharo 6.1. #728 Ask confirmation on fetch all action #543 In merge window removed methods are not taken into account Model bug #695 Specifying that Clone GitHub repository only deals with ssh mode Github plugin UI #690 Revert all does not behave correctly in detached working copy Model bug important #720 Commit panel should be selected by default when opening the commit window UI enhancement #724 Change focus order of commit window UI enhancement #719 Typing just after entering commit windows throw an error UI bug #721 Repository creation error not handled Github plugin bug #722 Typo in email git properties Libgit bug #716 "#pathString was sent to nil" if Pharo repository is not resolved Metacello Integration bug important #709 Cannot see the arrow in merge view #701 Merge view shows extra things UI enhancement merge #710 Merge does not apply changes right bug merge #711 The merge lose some changes bug merge #694 Extra diffs happen Model enhancement important #705 Clone repair action does extra actions Model enhancement #647 Following script for Pharo6.1 leads to unusable Iceberg (>>#binaryWriteStream) Pharo6-backport bug important Enjoy, Guille

For some reason, I am not able to do this: Object subclass: #TestBox instanceVariableNames: 'origin corner pointList' classVariableNames: '' poolDictionaries: '' category: 'PrintBot-Modelsâ! initialize pointList := OrderedCollection new.

SortedCollection>>reverse answers an inconsistent object in Pharo 6
by Richard O'Keefe April 27, 2018

April 27, 2018

Test case: #(1 2 4) asSortedCollection reverse add: 3; yourself <print it> The answer *should* be aSortedCollection(4 3 2 1) but *is* aSortedCollection(4 2 1 3). This works in Squeak. The problem is that SortedCollection does not define #reverse[d] but simply inherits it(them), and the inherited code pays no attention to the sortBlock. I propose adding the following two methods to SortedCollection: reverseInPlace |a z| a := firstIndex. z := lastIndex. [a < z] whileTrue: [array swap: a with: z. a := a + 1. z := z - 1]. sortBlock := sortBlock ifNil: [[:x :y | y <= x]] ifNotNil: [[:x :y | sortBlock value: y value: x]]. ^self reversed ^self copy reverseInPlace The ANSI method is #reverse, not #reversed, but Pharo defines #reverse to call #reversed, and OrderedCollection overrides #reversed, so SortedCollection *must* override #reversed. #reverseInPlace is the name Squeak uses for the other method. It also has a definition in SequenceableCollection, which is not but is equivalent to reverseInPlace |a z| a := 1. z := self size. [a < z] whileTrue: [self swap: a with: z. a := a + 1. z := z - 1].l ^self r

Hi, I've just tried installing pharo from package manager on Elementary OS, which is a ubuntu derivative. All went well, except fonts weren't working in 32 bit version, and I had to install by hand "libfreetype6:i386" ... is it missing in the dependencies? Thanks, Peter

FileStream deprecation in Pharo7
by Holger Freyther April 27, 2018

April 27, 2018

tl;dr could we extend PackageManifest>>#isDeprecated to provide reasoning and pointers to potential replacements? I was loading some of my code into a Pharo7 image and while debugging noticed that FileStream is deprecated (text stroke through in the Playground). But neither the FileStream class comment nor the the ManifestDeprecatedFileStream have an indication of what to use instead. What do you think of making the deprecation notice carry more signal? E.g. provide reasoning of why it was removed ("simplification", "no replacement for XYZ", "Look at XYZ")?

Raspberry Pi

April 27, 2018

Hi, I'm trying to run a headless Pharo 6.1 server on a Raspberry Pi following the instructions on https://medium.com/concerning-pharo/pharo-pi-9eef257b6a21. The latest vm I can download is from 14 dec 2017 (see http://files.pharo.org/vm/pharoS/raspbian/) and only works with Pharo 4.0. Are Pharo 6 and 7 not being built for ARM anymore? Also Pharo does not want to start in headless mode as indicated by the vm's help text: pi@raspberrypi:~/Pharo6.1-3 $ ./PharoS -headless Pharo.image eval "5+5" setlocale() failed (check values of LC_CTYPE, LANG and LC_ALL) unknown option: -headless Usage: ./PharoS [<option>...] [<imageName> [<argument>...]] ./PharoS [<option>...] -- [<argument>...] ALSA <option>s: -nomixer disable mixer (volume) adjustment -soundcard <name> open the named sound card (default: default) -playback <name> play to the named sound device (default: default) -capture <name> record from the named sound device (default: default) X11 <option>s: -browserWindow <wid> run in window <wid> -browserPipes <r> <w> run as Browser plugin using descriptors <r> <w> -cmdmod <n> map Mod<n> to the Command key -compositioninput enable overlay window for composed characters -display <dpy> display on <dpy> (default: $DISPLAY) -fullscreen occupy the entire screen -glxdebug <n> set GLX debug verbosity level to <n> -headless run in headless (no window) mode <-----snip------> Has anyone had success with a recent Pharo server on Pi? -- Siemen
