Planet Squeak Code

Minor improvement of the latest class-search changes. Thanks to Kjell Godo.

by Marcel Taeumel (marcel.taeumel@hpi.uni-potsdam.de) at July 15, 2019 04:00 PM

Updates the search for class names using the new find-features feature on strings. Find WeakIdentityKeyDictionary (in a small list of results) with any of the following patterns:

WKD
Weak*Dict*
WeakDict
WeakIdentityKeyDictionary

Fix fallback code for primPosixMicrosecondClockWithOffset: to not allow DateAndTime class>>now to create an instance with nil instance variables. Previous fallback code was a cut and paste error, never worked as intended.

Rationale for the fallback handling: Corrupt DateAndTime can quickly lead to a broken image. A default value of the Posix epoch is easily recognized as un uninitialized DateAndTime.

To test, evaluate "Time clockPolicy: #acceptPlatformTime" and comment out the primitive call in Time class>>primPosixMicrosecondClockWithOffset: to simulate the case of a VM that does not provide primitiveUtcWithOffset. In this case, DateAndTime now produces 1970-01-01T00:00:00+00:00. After testing, do Time initialze to restore clock policy.

When wrapping a Morph into a flex shell, first add the flex shell to the Morph's owner (and thus to the Morph's world) before making the Morph a submorph of the flex shell.
This avoids unnecessarily sending outOfWorld: to the Morph when adding it to the new flex shell (which doesn't have a world after creation) and intoWorld: when adding the flex shell to the Morph's owner right thereafter.

To String, adds simple analysis of natural language in source code. No word stemming.

1) Refactor #findTokens: to look like #lines (i.e. #linesDo: and #lineIndicesDo:).
2) Add #findFeaturesDo: like #findTokens:do: and #linesDo:.

Try this:

HTTPDownloadRequest name findFeatures.
(Morph >> #drawOn:) getSource asString findFeatures.

Where can that be useful?

- Automatic insertion of "*" for search terms like "WeakDictionary" to also find WeakIdentityDictionary etc.
- Prefix emphasis for names lists of classes in code browsers: MCAddition, MCAncestry, etc.

Rename "sons" to "children" in MessageTally

The rename is to make the terminology consistent with the common naming of tree items (i.e. parent and child).

The current naming caused some confusion with our bachelor student teams.

I ported initial attempts to subclass an important stateMachine, from each of SSL and SSH, to be rooted at ParrotTalk's SessionOperations. More work is needed, including defining active frameSpecifications that can detect appropriate frames for these new Protocols, in a new FrameAnalyzer, to be used by the new SessionProtocolSelector. I renamed the PaarrotTalk SessionOperations. The current hierarchy of SessionOperations as follows:

SessionOperations...
- ParrotTalkSessionOperations_v3_8
- ParrotTalkSessionOperations_v3_7
- ParrotTalkSessionOperations_v3_6
- SSLHandshakeStateMachine
- SSHTransportHandshakeStateMachine

Password was very specific for ServerDirectory.
Re-factor Password into a more generic password holder (usuable in other classes).
Create ServerPassword as a sub-class of Password with necessary specilizations moved down to it.
Make ServcieDirectory point to ServerPassword.

This allows us to use Password generally to store a password in memory (encoded) during a Squeak session, which is cleared out when saving. The intended use case is to not store passwords in code or in the file system - instead prompt the user at first use and cache it for the rest of the life of the session.

Test Random>>roll:

by Marcel Taeumel (marcel.taeumel@hpi.uni-potsdam.de) at May 31, 2019 08:43 AM

Make Random>>roll: work again and add support for constant operands

This version fixes three issues:

1. Random>>roll: was not working anymore. The following code only produced an error:

Random new roll: '1d20'

This happened due to an issue with Random>>diceToken: which used Number>>readFrom: to extract numbers from the string. Calling Number readFrom: '1d20' results in 100000000000000000000 instead of the expected 1, because $d is seen as an exponent letter by the ExtendedNumberParser used by Number>>readFrom: (see ExtendedNumberParser>>exponentLetters).
I therefore replaced Number>>readFrom: by Integer>>readFrom:, which doesn't use the exponent letters.

2. I also fixed a minor issue with the mini-grammar's 'dice' rule. Before this version, it read as if it only supported one or two operands, when it really supported an unlimited number of operands.

3. The mini-grammer's 'expr' rule read as if it supported constant operands (e.g., '1d20+5' or '42'), because 'expr' was allowed to be just 'num'. As far as I can gather, this has never worked (but I might be wrong). This is now also fixed by always setting res to the token read if the token is a number. If the token is neither a number nor $d, an error is now signalled.

Make sure that LargePositiveInteger sqrt are always correctly rounded to nearest Float if inexact.

Note that I accidentally introduced a rounding bug in LargePositiveInteger sqrt which was not in original Integer>>#sqrt:
(self bitAnd: 1) should have been (integerResult bitAnd: 1).
Apologizes.

But this formulation was subject to double-rounding error anyway (asFloat did perform a second rounding, which may lead to incorrect rounding), so that did not really matter...

Concerning performance, here are the bench results, after correcting the original version (I send twice self asFloat, which was a slip, and the original did not test mightBeASquare either when self asFloat = Float infinity)
- When (self mighBeASquare), new code is equivalent, and becomes more performant for huge values
This is due to sqrtRem which avoids evaluating a #squared for no additional price
Note that 7 large ints out of 256 mightBeASquare
- else it depends on bit range, new code is :
* as performant in range (SmallInteger maxVal highBit + 1 to: Float precision * 2)
that's the case of vast majority of large int in a "normal" image
* less performant in range (Float precision * 2 + 1 to: Float emax) by 3x to 5x
that's because asFloat sqrt is cheaper than sqrtRem
* more performant in range (Float emax + 1 to: infinity) by large
this is due to evaluating sqrtFloor on a much smaller LargePositiveInteger
(but this trick could have been added in inexact-rounding variant too)

So the exact rounding:
- does not require additional code (both are equivalent)
- does not cost any performance penalty in most common cases (small LargePositiveInteger); the penalty is only in medium range (107 to 1023 bits).

In a word, it's worth.

by Nicolas Cellier (nicolas.cellier.aka.nice@gmail.com) at May 16, 2019 06:16 PM

Use a map rgb->#names rather than iterating thru/performing all known colorNames.

This is especially useful if we intend to add more color names.
Note that names do not need to be unique.
The first appearing name in colorNames will be used.

Color colorNames collect: [:sym | Color perform: sym].

(Color colorNames reject: [:sym | (Color perform: sym) name = sym])
collect: [:sym | sym -> (Color perform: sym) name].

The new class variable is initialized in postscript.
It must be re-initialized each time we change the definition of a named Color.

The rgb code has been used as key rather than the Color itself.
This is because it is unique and cheap (SmallInteger).

Round accelerated arithmetic chunks to upper multiple of 4 bytes rather than to lower.

I believe that this marginally improves the performance because it's a tiny bit better to recompose a longer least significant chunk with a shorter most significant chunk.

If someone wants to confirm...
It's better to tune the threshold before benchmarking.
See LargeArithmeticBench from http://www.squeaksource.com/STEM.html and http://smallissimo.blogspot.com/2019/05 blog for details.

by nicolas cellier (nicolas.cellier.aka.nice@gmail.com) at May 09, 2019 01:13 PM

Fix (0 bitShift: 100) is not normalized
(0 bitShift: 100) class = LargePositiveInteger.

Why is it not normalized?
First, primitiveBitShift (17) fails because shift is longer than SmallInteger bit length (maybe it should not?), then bitShiftMagnitude: (primDigitBitShiftMagnitude:) does not normalize a left shift result, assuming that primitive 17 already did the trivial work if result were a SmallInteger.

Why is normalization important?
because non normalized Integers do not behave like SmallInteger and can cause all sort of undefined behavior (I had an infinite loop because of that)

How to fix?
just handle the case in primitive fallback code

While at it:
Do not use bitShiftMagnitude: when we do not need to (case of left shift are equivalent to bitShift:), because playing with not normalized results may lead to undefined behavior.

3.c) digitMul22: digitMul23: digitMul33: digitDiv21: digitDiv32:

Accelerate a bit the nthRoot: by providing a better (divide and conquer) initial guess a bit like sqrtRem algorithm.

Make fastMultiply: the default for multiplying integers

The scheme is:
- first try 64bit imul (primitive 29) if receiver is Large, or (primitive 9) if receiver is Small.
- then check for operand type in super *, use fastMultiply: if Integer
- then check receiver length and invoke O(N^2) schoolbook multiply if too small ( invoke LargeIntegers primitive thru digitMultiply:neg: )
- then check operand byte length
- then dispatch to Karatsuba or Toom3 (or future enhancements)

For medium integers (>64 bits) that's only 1 indirection more than previous implementation, so a very small (negligible) penalty.

For larger integers (a few thousand bits) that's a win.

Note that the length threshold heuristics may vary from one platform to another, one VM to another, and wether images are 32 or 64 bits...
We could make them class var, and offer some initialize method so as to automatically tune them.

Fix bugs in LazyCharacterSet
The block instance variable should not refer to itself, or we'll get an infinite recursion when evaluating.
Thus when modifying the collection (#add: #addAll: #remove: #removeAll:), we must use a temporary reference to block

Fix another typo bug in removeAll s/include:/includes:/

Unfortunately, there was a Player>>#include: preventing an easy detection of the bug

Example:

(CharacterSet separators complement reject: [:e | e isVowel])
removeAll: ($0 to: $9);
includes: $3.

Accelerate some huge Integer arithmetic
(This is a squash of inbox commits)

These algorithms use divide and conquer strategy that recursively split a problem into simpler problems.

1) Multiplication and Squaring

- Implement Karatsuba and 3-way Toom-Cook algorithms for fast large integer multiplication (a Bodrato Zanoni variant)

- Implement the 2-way asymetrical Karatsuba, 3-way symetrical, and 4-way asymetrical Toom-Cook squaring variant of Chung-Hasan. Note that asymetrical squareToom4 over-performs the symetrical squaredToom3 even for medium size (800 bytes).

- provide a fastMultiply: that dispatch on appropriate variant based on heuristics. Currently this fast multiplication is used only in LargePositiveInteger>>squared, and other algorithme below.

- slightly modify raisedToInteger: to use that squared.
This result in a small penalty for small number exponentation, but large speed up for big integers.

2) Square-root

- implement the Karatsuba-like square root algorithm from Paul Zimmerman.

3) Division

- Implement the recursive fast division of Burnikel-Ziegler for large integers and connect it to digitDiv:neg: when operands are large enough.

- Use this recursive algorithm to accelerate digitDiv:neg:

This is not the fastest known division which is a composition of Barrett and Newton-Raphson inversion - but is easy to implement and should have similar performances for at least a few thousand bytes long integers - see for example http://bioinfo.ict.ac.cn/~dbu/AlgorithmCourses/Lectures/Lec5-Fast-Division-Hasselstrom2003.pdf

4) Printing

- Use digitDiv:neg: in large integer printString so as to obtain the quotient (head) and remainder (tail) in a single operation. Together with divide and conquer division, this results in a factor of about 4x for 50000 factorial printString.
