Hi guys. I noticed stef did this issue: <a href="http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=5642" target="_blank">http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=5642</a><br>However, now I have the following test that fails in Pharo 2.0 but works fine in 1.4:<br>
<br>| string context |<br> string := 'test'.<br> context := [self class. string asUppercase] asContext.<br> self assert: (context tempNamed: 'string') = 'test'<br><br>the current implementation of #tempNamed: is:<br>
<br>tempNamed: aName<br> "Returns the value of the temporaries, aName."<br> "Implementation notes: temporary initialization in blocks simply uses pushNil to allocate and initialize each temp. So if one inspects [|a|a:=2] and sends it self method symbolic you get:<br>
<br> 13 <8F 00 00 05> closureNumCopied: 0 numArgs: 0 bytes 17 to 21<br> 17 <73> pushConstant: nil<br> 18 <77> pushConstant: 2<br> 19 <81 40> storeIntoTemp: 0<br> 21 <7D> blockReturn<br>
22 <7C> returnTop<br><br> And when we check self asContext pc we get 17, which is *before* the nil is pushed. Therefore we should pay attention when querying a temporary if the temporary allocation was executed."<br>
<br> | index |<br> index := (self tempNames indexOf: aName).<br> ^ index >= stackp <br></blockquote></div><div><br><br>Maybe the solution is to use #> rather than #>= ?<br></div></div></blockquote><div>
<br></div><div>right. But tempNames is fundamentally broken for closures. It does not answer temps in indirection vectors. That is the whole point of schematicTempNamesString; it gives the topology of temps in a method. e.g. (where => means printIt returns...)</div>
<div><br></div><div>(Collection>>#inject:into:) methodNode schematicTempNamesString => 'thisValue binaryBlock (nextValue)[each binaryBlock (nextValue)]'</div><div><br></div><div>This says that</div>
<div>a) at method level there are three temps, thisValue, binaryBlock and an indirection vector, and in the indirection vector is one temp named nextValue.</div><div>b) in the block in inject:into: there are three temps, each (the argument), binaryBlock and an indirection vector, and in that indirection vector is a temp named nextValue.</div>
<div><br></div><div>This is all orchestrated by DebuggerMethodMap, so that</div><div><br></div><div> aContext method debuggerMap tempNamesForContext: aContext</div><div> </div><div>answers a list of the flattened temp names in a context (flattening out indirection vectors) and for the above would answer either #('thisValue' 'binaryBlock' 'nextValue') or #('each' 'binaryBlock' 'nextValue'), and</div>
<div><br></div><div> | map |</div><div> map := aContext method debuggerMap.</div><div> map namedTempAt: ((map tempNamesForContext: aContext) indexOf: aTempName) in: aContext</div><div><br></div><div>gets the temp from the unflattened temps in a context. This is how the debugger accesses temp names.</div>
<div><br></div><div>So you need to throw away the broken tempName: implementation and use DebuggerMethodMap or some parse over schematicTempNamesString, because *with closures temps are not simply at contiguous offsets on the stack*. Make sense?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Now, one good way to understand this is through examples. inject:into: is the canonical simple example I've used for years. But we can find more complex examples that may help. So this query looks for all methods that contain a bytecode to create an indirection vector with 2 or more elements:</div>
<div><br></div><div><div>SystemNavigation new browseAllSelect:</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre">        </span>[:m| | is |</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre">        </span>is := InstructionStream on: m.</div>
<div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre">        </span>is scanFor: [:b| b = 138 and: [is followingByte between: 2 and: 127]]]</div></div><div><br></div><div>and the simplest example in a trunk 4.3 image I find is:</div>
<div><br></div><div>Bag>>sum</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre">        </span>"Faster than the superclass implementation when you hold many instances of the same value (which you probably do, otherwise you wouldn't be using a Bag)."</div>
<div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre">        </span></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre">        </span>| sum first |</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre">        </span>first := true.</div>
<div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre">        </span>contents keysAndValuesDo: [ :value :count |</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre">                </span>first </div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre">                        </span>ifTrue: [ sum := value * count. first := false ]</div>
<div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre">                        </span>ifFalse: [ sum := sum + (value * count) ] ].</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre">        </span>first ifTrue: [ self errorEmptyCollection ].</div>
<div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre">        </span>^sum</div><div><br></div><div>which needs a two-element indirection vector because the block [ :value :count |...] assigns to both sum and first. Hence</div>
<div><br></div><div>(Bag>>#sum) methodNode schematicTempNamesString => '(sum first)[value count (sum first)]'</div><div><br></div><div>So in an activation of Bag>>sum the value of first is (sumContext tempAt: 1) at: 2 (cuz tempAt: 1 is the indirection vector represented as (sum first) in schematic temps, and first is the second element. But in an activation of the block in Bag>>sum the value of first is (sumBlockContext tempAt: 3) at: 2.</div>
<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I can keep repeating myself until I'm blue in the face, but y'all have to put in the effort to understand this simple scheme. Temps that are modified after they are closed-over end up in indirection vectors.</div>
