OSProcess Question
by Eric Gade 27 Aug '22

27 Aug '22

Hello, I've been unable to find good documentation / examples of an OSProcess use case. How can I start an external process that remains running while I pipe data into its stdin and read data from its stdout? To be specific, I am starting to toy around with the JS/Typescript LSP server <https://github.com/typescript-language-server/typescript-language-server>, which seems to expect input on stdin (rather than using sockets or whatnot) Thanks! -- Eric

Some notes about porting muO to 6.0
by Stéphane Rollandin 26 Aug '22

26 Aug '22

Some notes about porting muO to 6.0 Context: I always develop on a stable release, that may be several versions behind the current trunk. This makes updating everything to work on a newer stable release a non-trivial task, always. muO started around 2002/2003, when Squeak was at 3. something (later and for a long time I worked on 3.8). I remember 3.8 to 3.9 being quite bad, but it was always nice to discover the new features and play with them. And now after twenty years muO has gone all the way to 6.0, which shows a real concern about backward compatibility from the trunk developers - so, thanks everybody! Now all is not smooth and this time, moving from 5.1/5.3 to 6.0, I had the feeling it was more bumpy because of a few actual non-compatible changes. Their nature also made the corresponding porting issues particularly difficult to pinpoint, leading at times to the wrong but unsettling impression that something was deeply broken. So here they are: 1)- becomeForward: A lot of the intricate live dependency of interactive objects in muO was just gone - living things were now dead; it seems things were broken all over the place. In fact it was just that #becomeForward: semantics had changed. All my #becomeForward: calls had to be replaced with #becomeForward:copyHash: with second argument true. This one is quite nasty. 2)- setProperty:toValue: Debuggers showed me all kind of objects receiving messages they had nothing to do with. It seemed that object composition was scrambled, but in fact... #setProperty:toValue: semantics had changed It now returns its second argument, so I had to add cascaded #yourself calls in many places. This one is nasty too. 3)- immutable arrays In a couple of places I did use arrays written in their now immutable form to store data that would later be updated. I had to use other ways to instanciate the arrays. This one is bad IMO. Not the fact that arrays can (and should most often) be immutable, but the fact the default way to write an #(array) or a 'string' now has a different semantics. Assuming as before that we get mutable objects leads to bugs that are easy to catch, but I am afraid there may be old code laying around in SqueakMap or other repositories that will now break. Well maybe I'm wrong about that. 4)- FloatArray FloatArray is now abstract; it must now be replaced with Float32Array. Because I want muO to load and work both in 5.3 and 6.0 (which it does), I had to to have the pre-installer create a dummy Float32Array class before loading the muO code in 5.3. No big deal, but again if some older forgotten packages are using FloatArray, they will break. 5)- beAllFont: This one is minor but still, #beAllFont: semantics changed. In 5.3 it used to update the font of an existing text morph, now it is the same as #font: and cannot be used that way - it must be sent before the text is set. I just reverted it to its 5.3 behavior for muO. 6)- font sizes In MuOTheme#addFonts: I had to give different font sizes numbers in 5.3 and 6.0 in order to get the same actual font sizes on screen. Not sure what happened there, I guess a bug was fixed (because the font support is much nicer now in 6.0) but still that's an incompatible change. 7)- RealEstateAgent scaleFactor The scale factor was by default initialized to 0.75 which made everything tiny; in 5.3 it was 1.0. 8) minor stuff now fixed There where other minor issues that were fixed in the update stream after I signaled them on squeak-dev. I'll just mention them for completeness sake: - rehash was needed in SmartRefStream>>#next - #encompassing:, #merging: did not accept a Set anymore - a one-character wide TextMorph would not resize properly All of this is now fine in 6.0, as of version 22110 All in all it was an interesting ride, and kudos to the developers for all the work that went into 6.0!

running 32-bit Squeak in Ubuntu 22.04 64-bit
by Chris Muller 26 Aug '22

26 Aug '22

I need to open a 32-bit image on my new 64-bit laptop running Ubuntu 22.04 64-bit. I've relied on this great technique and script for the last few years to identify the required packages. https://milanvavra.wordpress.com/2017/02/27/squeak-5-1-32bit-installation-o… For my 22.04, it identifies: libc6-i386 libc6:i386 libgl1:i386 of which I installed all. Unfortunately, Squeak is still reporting the following error message when attempting to launch the image: ____ ./Squeak6.0-22104-32bit-202206021410-Linux-x86/bin/squeak ./Squeak6.0-22104-32bit-202206021410-Linux-x86/shared/Squeak6.0-22104-32bit.image vm-display-X11 tryLoading /home/cmm/Chris/dev/Squeak/Squeak6.0-22104-32bit-202206021410-Linux-x86/bin/vm-display-X11.so: dlopen: libXrender.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory could not find display driver vm-display-X11; either: - check that /home/cmm/Chris/dev/Squeak/Squeak6.0-22104-32bit-202206021410-Linux-x86/bin//vm-display-X11.so exists, or - use the '-plugins <path>' option to tell me where it is, or - remove DISPLAY from your environment. Aborted (core dumped) ____ Any ideas? Has anyone else been able to get Squeak 6.0 32-bit running on an x86_64 machine? thanks.

crash and burn while debugging StackMorph
by Lauren Pullen 26 Aug '22

26 Aug '22

Hi list, I was fixing bit rot in the StackMorph code and my Squeak died. I noticed that the identityHash of the aCardPlayer uniclass as gotten from the browser did not match the one from the StackMorph, which explained why, even after I fixed the code, the instances never got the new instance variables. I tried changing things over and the image then crashed when I created a new StackMorph. I'm afraid I don't have a crash log. This is the last error emitted, from the Browser. The StackMorph code is very buggy and results in a memory leak, by the way. Trying to fix it is fun and image-wrecking.
