Is there any documentation for the Pharo AST and any ways to affect Pharo syntax ? -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/AST-documentation-tp4877909.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Compiling Pharo to C++
by kilon.alios Feb. 16, 2016

Feb. 16, 2016

So doing further research into Unreal , I have reached the conclusion that the best way to integrate Pharo is make a compiler that takes Pharo code and compiles it to C++. I have barely scratch such area when I was playing around with Pharo AST nodes. Any advice / ideas how to accomplish this ? Currently my goal is to start super simple, with compiling small pharo code fragments to C++ code and then much later on even introduce extensions to the pharo language to accommodate for C++ features like templates , pointers (FFI probably already cover this) , static types etc. Obviously if I can keep the pharo syntax intact would be the ideal option. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Compiling-Pharo-to-C-tp4877775.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Re: [Pharo-users] Bloc Space within a Space

Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list wrote > ok, so not infeasible but we are not there today... lets do it step by > step. Okay :) Thanks for thinking through this with me. I've had an idea for years which I'm very excited about that requires this functionality, and I've been waiting for a tool powerful and flexible enough to implement it! It looks like Bloc will be that tool and I'm happy to help and wait a bit longer... ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Bloc-Space-within-a-Space-tp4877474p4877878.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

That was always a wish of mine in Morphic, however in Bloc, the equivalent is a space, not a Bloc world. A Bloc world only holds the objects on the desktop, not the halos or hand. Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list wrote > one should be able to script a space, > thus, one should be able to write a test with a local BlocSpace, adding > elements into it and so on But how to drive it? e.g. simulate events Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list wrote > but your code does not make sense regarding how Bloc is designed > you can have one and only one **active** BlocSpace at a time. I understand from a Pharo perspective that one is only expected to have one *real* space at a time which is receiving hardware events and such, but what prevents us from simulating Spaces?! If there is a SpaceElement, and Elements can be placed in the World, the principle of uniformity encourages that a SpaceElement can be placed there like any other.

Exactly, like the VM simulator! Sign me up! This was the level of uniformity and explorability that I always wished in Morphic ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Bloc-Space-within-a-Space-tp4877474p4877733.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Monticello reverse project dependency
by Peter UhnÃ¡k Feb. 15, 2016

Feb. 15, 2016

Hi, I have the following situation: I have ProjectMain, and ProjectPlugin, now normally the Plugin depends on Main, however I would like to load Plugin as part of Main. The problem is that I can't specify to load Plugin after Main has been already fully loaded, if I do something like this BaselineOfMain>>baseline: spec <baseline> spec for: #common do: [ spec baseline: 'Plugin' with: [ spec repository: '...'; loads: #('default' OR 'plugin') ]. spec package: 'Main' with: [ spec requires: #(more stuff) ]; spec group: 'default' with: #('Main'). spec group: 'complete' with: #('default' 'Plugin') ] The BaselineOfPlugin has two groupsâ¦ "default", which loads also "Main", and "plugin", which doesn't. Now the problem is that there is no guaranteed way that Plugin will load after Main (in fact the should happen). If I load the plugin's #default, then Metacello ends up in an endless loop for some reason, and if I load #plugin, then it will load it before the Main which will break it (because Plugin has dependencies on main). So my question is: is it possible to reverse it somehow? Maybe add at the end `spec postLoadDoIt: #postLoadPlugins`, and then in that method manually load the plugins with Metacello/Gofer? Or is there a better way? Thanks, Peter

Problem with gitfiletree in pharo 5
by Norbert Hartl Feb. 15, 2016

Feb. 15, 2016

Today I tried to use a pharo 5 image for my project. I installed gitfiletree but could not access my existing git repo I use with pharo 4. In MCFileTreeGitRepository>>#gitBranchs the output for the git command is an empty string while executing the same on the console gives me * master Is this a OSProcess problem? Where to look at to find the culprit? thanks, Norbert

Getting whether specific key is currently pressed
by Jan BlizniÄenko Feb. 14, 2016

Feb. 14, 2016

Hello I would like to ask whether is there any way to directly find out if specific key (shift in my case) is currently pressed. I am trying to implement own multi-selection of elements drawn on Roassal canvas, but I do not receive original MouseClick/Drag/whatever event with shiftKeyPressed, but I receive only Roassal selection event without this kind of information. It would require lots of modifications on Roassal part to forward such info (although it would be possible I suppose), so I am looking for a way to bypass it. Any help is appreciated.

Bloc Alarms: Why Raw Numbers Instead of Domain Objects?
by Sean P. DeNigris Feb. 14, 2016

Feb. 14, 2016

"scheduleIn: 10000" seems much more awkward than "scheduleIn: 10 seconds", and #scheduleAt: is even clunkier - timeInMs - what's that? Unix time? Squeak time? Wherease "#scheduleAt: '3/1/2016 6:55pm' asDateAndTime" is perfectly clear ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Bloc-Alarms-Why-Raw-Numbers-Instead-of-Domain-Objects… Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
