Difference between Set and HashedCollection

by Benjamin Van Ryseghem

I was looking in Pharo sources and I do not understand the difference between Set and HashedCollection which both seems to work the same way. Benjamin

FFI Problems in Pharo 1.1 'Callout mechanism not available'

by BraveSirRobin

I'm having intermittent problems with FFI in Pharo 1.1. I often get my image to the point where I can only get the error 'Callout mechanism not available' whenever I call a DLL function. These functions have previously worked perfectly but then stop working for some reason. Anyone know what causes this and what the fix/workaround is ? The only solution I've found so far is to save my packages and load them into a new image which is a bit time consuming. BTW, I'm running under Windows 7, 32-bit. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/FFI-Problems-in-Pharo-1-1-Callout-mechanism-not-avail… Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Why don't you just write user class firstPageForUserClass ?

Simple OO smaltalk question

by Tony Giaccone

I'm new to Smalltalk and come from the java world and am looking for a bit of help on how something should be implemented. Assume I have a Person class and that there are three subclasses of that class Admin, Teacher, Student. I also have a class called UserManager I want to implement a method on UserManger>> class firstPageForUser: user This method looks at the class of the user and returns an initial page for each user after log in. I have this method implmented: Person>>class firstPageForUser ^nil Now on the UserManager clas>> firstPageForUser: user (user isKindOf: Person ) ifTrue: [returnPage := ( (user class) firstPageForUser) ]. Which as I'm sure most of you realize doesn't work. I'm not sure how to structure the call so that the right message gets sent to the class. My understanding is that even though the subclasses don't implement this method yet, that the method should be passed up the class tree till it finds the method in Person. However, I also know that the syntax for the method I've written isn't correct. What I want to do is make the call on the class for each subclass. I could do the same thing this way, right, but this seems more verbose and ugly then it has to be. (user isKindOf: RSPerson ) ifTrue: [returnPage := (RSPerson firstPageForUserClass) ]. (user isKindOf: RSAdmin ) ifTrue: [returnPage := (RSAdmin firstPageForUserClass) ]. (user isKindOf: RSTeacher ) ifTrue: [returnPage := (RSTeacher firstPageForUserClass) ]. (user isKindOf: RSStudent ) ifTrue: [returnPage := (RSStudent firstPageForUserClass) ]. ^returnPage

Hi, Unfortunately, I cannot help much at this moment. The problem is due to a bug in Pier that crashes when there is a strange character in one of the pages. I believe this was fixed at some point, but I am not sure. Someone would have to update the Pier image. Cheers, Doru On 10 Oct 2010, at 11:53, Mariano Martinez Peck wrote: > Thanks!

Re: [Pharo-users] Consuming delimiters in PetitParser

by HernÃ¡n Morales Durand

Hi Lukas, Yes, the simpler method worked fine, I was confused by the fact that after typing the first digit in the #digit parser (it could be many digits but no alphabetical characters in that part) the sticky evaluator tolds me "punctuation expected". For now I just need to parse one identifier.
