Planet Squeak Code

Merges two tests that are no-longer to do.

October 20, 2021 11:09 PM

Tests nullable closures that are introduced in Regex-Core-ct.70.

Note that #testHenry142 and #testHenry146 will time out until Regex-Core-ct.62 is loaded (fixes copying of cyclic RxmLink structures).
The second match in #testLookaroundNullable currently fails for the same reason as #testOptionalLookbehind2; see Regex-Tests-Core-ct.14.

October 20, 2021 10:36 PM

Adds support for nullable closures and eliminates the eponymous error message. Expressions like these are now parsed and matched correctly:

(a|b?)*
(a*)*
(a+){,3}
()*|
(?<=a)?

This design decision is inspired by the behavior of several existing regex implementations (such as Python's regex module, the ECMAScript standard, .NET, or Java). While some of the examples from above might be pretty useless in practice, especially the first example - conditional nullability - was a serious limitation in many cases before. See regex101.com and https://www.regular-expressions.info/ for further information.

Implementation summary:
Matching nullable closures is non-trivial as, considering the second example from above, the matcher might try to match the inner piece again and again while capturing empty strings for every repetition of the outer piece. We avoid such infinite loops by remembering all open branch positions temporarily while matching a certain path of links in the matcher. If an open branch is reached again at the same position, a match will not possible and is refused immediately. In the parser, #signalNullableClosureParserError and all sends to it are eliminated or replaced by finer-granular validity checks.

Depends indeed on Regex-Core-ct.63 to avoid another merge conflict in the parser.

October 20, 2021 10:26 PM

Fixes #testOptionalLookbehind2. It still fails, but this time for the real bug in the matcher instead of a lowercase slip in the test.

Slightly revises the changes from Network-eem.249 so that the https://files.squeak.org/trunk/ example works in a fresh trunk image.

October 18, 2021 08:56 PM

Fixes a bug in the changelog generation of the ReleaseBuilder. Make sure to update and upgrade the build configuration before accessing its dependencies so that also all Trunk versions that are ahead of the latest configuration will be included.

October 18, 2021 08:09 PM

Fixes #requestNextReleaseVersion to always assign both NextMajorVersion and NextMinorVersion. Since the 5.3 release, only the latter was initialized, causing "ReleaseBuilder versionString" to answer "Squeak6.3" without this patch.

Implements #cleanUp: on ReleaseBuilder. Also resets both variables immediately via postscript.

October 18, 2021 05:49 PM

Fixes CompiledMethod >> #(reads|writes)Ref: to honor nested code literals (i.e. CompiledBlocks) correctly. The literal index needs to be determined for every literal individually.

With this patch, also the "stores into"/"assignments..." button in tools works again. For example, browsing assignments to the variable NextMinorVersion in the class ReleaseBuilder does not report "no stores into" any longer.

For reference, the first attempt of refactoring these methods was made in Kernel-mt.1244.

October 18, 2021 05:30 PM

Fixes a slip in the new "Image Packages" page of the SystemReporter.

October 18, 2021 04:54 PM

CoInterpreterMT Work in progress towards being able to bind to any other thread than a specific thread.
Process's threadId is now organized as two bits fields. The most significant 14 bits are the threadId; if negative, this means "bind to any thread other than the negation"; if positive, this means "bind to this thread". The least significant 14 bits are the thread the proces is affined to (temporarily bound to). If zero, the Process is not temporarily bound.

Extend HTTPServerDirectory so that it can parse XML descriptions as per e.g. http://files.squeak.org/trunk/. This works, but could really do with a review from someone intimately familiar with ServerDirectory and subclasses.

Hence the following gets the latest trunk images and unpacks them:
| entries |
entries := (HTTPServerDirectory new type: #http)
altUrl: 'http://files.squeak.org/trunk/';
entries.
#('32bit' '64bit') do:
[:bitness| | latest |
latest := (entries select: [:entry| entry name includesSubstring: bitness])
inject: entries first
into: [:best :each| | vnb vne |
vnb := (best name subStrings: '-') second asInteger.
vne := (each name subStrings: '-') second asInteger.
vnb > vne
ifTrue: [best]
ifFalse: [each]].
Cursor write showWhile:
[(Cursor read showWhile:
[ZipArchive new readFrom: (((HTTPServerDirectory new type: #http)
altUrl: (latest containingDirectory altUrl, latest name);
entries) detect: [:entry| entry name endsWith: 'bit.zip']) readStream])
extractAllTo: FileDirectory default
informing: nil

StackInterpreter:
Major change to debug printing so that the platform error handlers can print the call stack to a specific FILE * stream, not simply hack stdout via pushOutputFile.

transcript now becomes a FILE * inst var of StackInterpreter; all printing goes to this file. withRedirectedOutputTo:do: is used to switch it to another stream and implement printCallStackOn: et al. See protocol "debug printing redirected".

Merge. Adds dependency on NumberPrinter in Repository: http://ss3.gemstone.com/ss/NumberPrinter/

Name: Printf-nice.16
Author: nice
Time: 28 September 2021, 2:26:09.620217 am
UUID: 396fb662-1c87-464a-800f-cd7f3bd59d21
Ancestors: Printf-eem.15

This version of Printf use the (Versatile)FloatPrinter package so as to correctly print the float with %aefg.

Note that the output may still differ from C if many digits of precision are requested, because FloatPrinter uses an algorithm to print the shortest float that could be re-interpreted unchanged (roundtrip conversion). Hence it may change not significant trailing digits into zeros.

Example that prints trailing zeroes instead of exact value:
'%.57f' printf: 0.1.

One can retrieve C-like behavior by printing the (true) fraction though:
'%.57f' printf: 0.1 asTrueFraction.

But one shouldn't do that for hex '%a' format, nor for exceptional floats (inf/nan), so it's not a general solution.

Note that current implementation fails to render the requested case for the moment (operator aAeEfFgG). It could be easily solved though.

Note that C printf also force the plus sign when printing a Number rightFlush:
'%+5d' printf: 23.
If we don't want a +, we can use the space specification instead which forces a space:
'% d' printf: 23.
Previously, those rules were not honoured correctly.
To solve this, we introduce a plusSign inst. var., which is assigned by space and rightFlush (+) flags.
A possibly bad side effect, is that turning an agnostic format descriptor into a number format descriptor, would force the plus sign.
To avoid this side effect, the flush inst. var. is now initialized to a neutral #yourself.
Fortunately, alignment is either left or right, so testing == #leftFlush is always discriminating enough, no need to test for #rightFlush or #yourself when rendering.
Testing == #rightFlush is only ever useful for printing the descriptor itself.

16-bit and 32-bit character types will simply get type codes 14 and 15 to remain backwards compatible within plugin version 1.

Sketches possible #initializeTypeConstants_v2 for plugin version 2, using 5 bits instead of 4 bits for encoding type codes.

by Marcel Taeumel (marcel.taeumel@hpi.uni-potsdam.de) at September 16, 2021 09:47 AM

No signed character types anymore. "char" and "uchar" (and "schar") have all the same type codes for the plugin.

Avoid dependency on type codes in #isCharType and #isIntegerType and #isSigned to support different plugin versions.

Minor fix in #initializeAtomicTypeCodes when removing (un-aliased) atomic type names (here: char8_t, char16_t, char32_t -- these are now aliases for uchar8_t, uchar16_t, uchar32_t).

Proposed fix for CompiledCode>>#allLiteralsDo: by adding pushSpecialConstant:/sendSpecial:numArgs:.

Get the bytecode set specific interpretNextInstructionFor: implementations to send sendSpecial:numArgs: and pushSpecialConstant: for special selector sends and implicit literal bytecodes. Insulate existing InstructionClient subclasses by introducing ImplicitLiteralInstructionClientHook as InstructionClient's superclass which implements pushSpecialConstant:/sendSpecial:numArgs: as sends of pushConstant:/send:super:numArgs:. Implement pushSpecialConstant:/sendSpecial:numArgs: in Context. Compiler-eem.460 implements these for the Decompiler.

I am now able to compile the CustomHelp containing the HelpTopics .

The display in the HelpBrowser is not working...the class appears, the pages do not.....and I just figured out why..the pages method is missing!

I need to recurse to compile subclasses and include them in the pages.

good progress.

Move the #round(Up|Down)To: changes down to Integer to not slow-down rounding for Float and Fraction. This also speeds it up a tiny bit more because it is now "inlined" without the extra send to #round(Up|Down)ToInteger:.

Array types of unknown size do share alignment properties of their content type even if they cannot be used anywhere. Only their pointer types do. Yet, being consistent in calculating the #byteAlignment makes life easier in other parts of the system.

by Marcel Taeumel (marcel.taeumel@hpi.uni-potsdam.de) at August 11, 2021 11:36 AM

Fixes bug about "Cannot compute byteAlignment" that occurred when opening an image on one platform that was saved on another.

You can now both use #initialize or #resetAllTypes to update all types when atomics changed. The former preserves object identity, the later needs to be used when changing the amount of atomics or when migrating from a rather old FFI installation.

Code clean-up and refactoring:
- Rename ...withAccessors: to ...generateAccessors:
- Rename policy #generated to #ifGenerated
- Rename policy #absent to #ifAbsent
- Deprecate #compileFields and #compileFields: in favor if #defineFields and #defineFields:
- Add #defineChangedFields(:), which uses #hasFieldLayoutChanged: and thus distinguishes itself from #defineFields(:)
- After code loading or class reshaping, call #triggerDefineAllChangedFields instead of #triggerDefineAllFields
- Remove obsolete #byteSize from ExternalStructure class; see its instance side

Note that this also fixes a regression, that is, let #defineAllFields and #defineAllChangedFields work as expected.

Note that #defineFields(:) will always compile the field spec and generate (missing) field accessors #ifGenerated.

Fix typo. Sorry for the noise.

by Marcel Taeumel (marcel.taeumel@hpi.uni-potsdam.de) at August 09, 2021 04:52 PM

Fixes several code-loading bugs around ExternalStructure.

#doneCompiling needs to recompile/redefine *all* fields. The entire hierarchy of ExternalStructure. Note that #doneCompiling is also currently the hook for loading the methods #fields or #originalTypeName via Monticello. We cannot know the effects of any changed field spec. Local re-compilation/re-definition will not do it.

Therefore, offer a simple way to ensure that re-compilation is only done once for multiple changed field spec. Rely on deferred UI messages. In a CI setting, #tryDefineAllFIelds might need to be called after loading the code. In an interactive setting, this won't be necessary because of the UI process.

MagmaVersionError needs to be resumable during DB version-upgrades. It's also helpful to know the dbVersion that was read from the DB.

by Chris Muller (ma.chris.m@gmail.com) at May 26, 2021 02:32 AM

- no longer necessary to #close / #open just to truncate.
- Less Delay garbage in one method.
- Let MagmaFileTraverser support a one or two-arg block. If a two-arg block is specified it is passed the graphBuffer (with access to the path of #buffers).
- Updating the DB's internal #version metafield is worth signaling a MagmaNotification.
- When running out of memory, only kill the worst non-__system session if it's NOT the only one because, in that case, it shouldn't be the cause of the memory issue.
- MagmaFileTraverser now supports either a one OR two argument "do" block. If two args, the 2nd is now the GraphBuffer, from which can be obtained the path to the current buffer (the first argument).
- Cleaner setting of loadProcess of luxury queries.
- More halts for recovery debugging.
- Better error handling of Magma version upgrades.
- RepositoryController now prints its location.
- deployment needs more work.
