I fail to see why it should not be in COG branch too. Attachments: CogIssue114_fix_a_BMPReadWriterPlugin_potentialBufferOverflow.st 3.4 KB

Issue 112 in cog: Literal > 16rFFFFFFFF should better be generated as unsigned long long
by cog＠googlecode.com 08 Aug '13

Status: Accepted Owner: nicolas....(a)gmail.com Labels: Type-Defect Priority-High New issue 112 by nicolas....(a)gmail.com: Literal > 16rFFFFFFFF should better be generated as unsigned long long http://code.google.com/p/cog/issues/detail?id=112 This was one change of issue 92 which was forgotten. Currently, gcc is kind enough to correct 0xffffffffffffffffUL by itself, but it issues a warning and that stinks like Undefined Behaviour. Find attached correction based on .oscog-emm.241

Issue 111 in cog: Use direction aware << and >> instead of bitShift: to avoid useless Runtime test

Status: Accepted Owner: nicolas....(a)gmail.com Labels: Type-Enhancement Priority-Medium Performance Maintainability New issue 111 by nicolas....(a)gmail.com: Use direction aware << and >> instead of bitShift: to avoid useless Runtime test http://code.google.com/p/cog/issues/detail?id=111 As reported in vm-dev mailing list "bitShift: and runtime sign discussion" http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.smalltalk.squeak.vm.devel/9261 in (expr bitShift: shift), some shift have well known direction for the programmer, but the CCodeGenerator is unable to guess if shift is not literal. This results in useless runtime tests. Worse, it can increase the number of C compiler warnings after inlining. I attach some changes to VMMaker (based on .oscog-eem.241 branch). For sound, there is a shift sign discussion already, so we can eventually use directed shift too (based on trunk -ul.32 branch).

Issue 108 in cog: Access to stackPages broken in Stack/CoInterpreter>>#commonReturn

Status: New Owner: ---- Labels: Type-Defect Priority-Medium New issue 108 by stm...(a)gmail.com: Access to stackPages broken in Stack/CoInterpreter>>#commonReturn http://code.google.com/p/cog/issues/detail?id=108 One of the branches in Stack/CoInterpreter>>#commonReturn does a `self freeStackPage: thePage` where all other places in the code do `stackPages freeStackPage: thePage`. #freeStackPage: is not defined on self, so I suppose the attached patch is necessary. The bug should be in the CogVM branch and the Pharo branches of the codebase. Attachments: StackPages Access.1.cs 11.5 KB

Issue 106 in cog: Bit-rot in NOMS>>#sqGrowMemory:By: and IS>>#ioUTCMicrosecondsNow

Status: New Owner: ---- Labels: Type-Defect Priority-Medium New issue 106 by stm...(a)gmail.com: Bit-rot in NOMS>>#sqGrowMemory:By: and IS>>#ioUTCMicrosecondsNow http://code.google.com/p/cog/issues/detail?id=106 In InterpreterSimulator the method #ioUTCMicrosecondsNow is missing. I just added this: ioUTCMicrosecondsNow "STEFAN: not entierly sure what to do with this... but the method is missing." ^ Time millisecondClockValue In the NewObjectMemorySimulator>>#sqGrowMemory:By:, there is a reference to coInterpreter which receives are #memory: message. However in the new hierarchy, where the interpreter is not an ObjectMemory anymore, that message is not implemented. So, I removed it... Not sure whether either of these solutions is appropriate, but would be good to get the problems fixed and have the simulators usable. Attachments: more-bit-rot.1.cs 857 bytes

Status: Accepted Owner: camillob...(a)gmail.com Labels: Type-Defect Priority-Medium New issue 105 by camillob...(a)gmail.com: Add VMMaker Smalltalk Sources to the C Repository http://code.google.com/p/cog/issues/detail?id=105 Currently there is no way to find out which VMMaker version works along with which C source version. Solution: Export the current VMMaker sources to the repository and keep them in sync there.

Klatt is sincerely outdated, every OS provides better speech synthesis nowadays.
