I am very pleased to announce the immediate availability of Magma 1.3.<br>
The following detail the major improvements to 1.3 over 1.2:<br>
<br>
Serializer Upgrade<br>
====<br>
BlockClosures (Contexts and CompiledMethods too, of course), can now<br>
be stored in the database, even with references to inst-vars, self,<br>
temps or globals.<br></blockquote><div><br>Excellent. I will take a look. <br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
Proxy Transparency<br>
====<br>
A new extension to the WriteBarrier should now alleviate the need to<br>
send #yourself to primitive arguments! Primitives which require<br>
arguments are now overridden in the anonymous subclass so that the<br>
arguments will automatically be ensured to be fully-reified for the<br>
super call.<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>I would like to take a look to this. In which primitives you need to send #yourself for example? This is because otherwise the VM will fail / crash because it expects the parameters of a primitive to be of a certain type rather than a proxy ?<br>
Which are those subclases you mention that override the primitive methods? <br><br>Thanks and congrats for the release.<br></div></div><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Mariano<br><a href="http://marianopeck.wordpress.com" target="_blank">http://marianopeck.wordpress.com</a><br>
