hi I would like to know a bit more about fixReversedValueMessages. Can we get rid of it? Or do we still have old event handlers around? Stef

Mouse mapping preference in win32 squeak VM
by Igor Stasenko 18 Nov '08

18 Nov '08

Hello list, The windows port of VM has two preferences 1 Button mouse and 3 Button mouse I understand that it kind of forcing VM to think that there is a mouse with single button, or with 3 buttons. But in windows API there are already support for 3-buttoned mices, and you'll never get a message with middle button click if your mouse don't have a middle button. Also, in recordMouseEvent() there are modifiers for red button: red + alt -> blue red + ctrl -> yellow so, in this way, VM can generate events for all 3 button types even if you having a single button mice. Concerning '3 buttons' option, all it does is swapping the blue and yellow buttons. But hey, we can swap blue/yellow mouse buttons from preferences. Maybe, historically, these preferences appeared in different time, but currently they simply duplicate each other, and we really need only a single one. And at last, since mouse event recorded along with modifier keys (alt/ctrl etc), i think that all logic concerning mouse buttons mapping can live at language side without any loss of functionality. What you think? -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko AKA sig.

Problem with changes file write permissions on Mac OS X
by Mikael Kindborg 17 Nov '08

17 Nov '08

Hi! I have encountered a strange problem, at some point after filing in code from a MC repository, it seems as if the changes file loses its write permissions. The strange thing is that the changes file does appear to have the correct write permissions, and I do not have multiple images open. I have experimented with copying the image and changes files over to a Windows file system (running in VirtualBox), where everything works fine, and then copy them back again, with the same result! Does this ring any bells to those of you who are on Mac OS X ?? Perhaps I have overlooked something very simple... Very best, Micke

Getting back to push/pop remappable oop
by Igor Stasenko 17 Nov '08

17 Nov '08

Hi list, >From previous discussion, where Eliot mentioned about removal push/pop remappable oop oddity and modifying GC to make it work w/o it, i'm just thinking - there was no need in having these methods from the very start. Any oop at any time can be temporary pushed on stack and then popped back again using #pop:/#push: methods. Of course, primitives need to be careful to not override the arguments, which can be reused in method when primitive fails - so they should push values past the arguments. But in most cases, a primitive creates new object(s) at the point, where it needs to form a returned value - at this point most things is done: arguments is read & already popped out of stack, values calculated etc etc. So it is safe to put temporary values on stack, making GC happy and without need in use push/popRemmappableOop. Going in this way, there is no need in adding safety schemes, like reserving extra free space and delaying GC before primitive finishes working. -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko AKA sig.

Pragmas for Controlling Compiler
by Martin Beck 17 Nov '08

17 Nov '08

Hi, are there pragmas for controlling whether the compiler will include parts of the source code or not? For example: test <compiler: off> TestClass new doSomething. <compiler: on> TestClass new doSomething muchBetter. In fact, I want to use another compiler, which should only compile the first line, while the normal Squeak compiler should only compile the second. Any ideas? Regards, Martin
