[Pharo-users] [ANN] Complishon: efficient heuristics for code completion

Hi all, Since yesterday, Pharo 9 contains a new alternative code completion engine. The idea behind this engine is to be pluggable, to be efficient and to be more accurate through the introduction of heuristics. The completion engine implements a couple of nice heuristics, like - chances are `a

[Pharo-users] Ballooning image size! Approaching 400MB

My image size keeps growing and growing. I've been scouring Google and mailing lists, trying to find a solution. Observables: - Running this 'query' shows I have a whole lot instances of Objects I've created that are not "releasing". There are 65000 instances of one Object/Class, and 35

Hi Russ, It is quite hard to debug somebody else's application, especially without access to the code, but here are some suggestions of what I would do. Can you move your code to a new/fresh image and see what happens there (especially after just one iteration of loading your data) ? Is there

Dario, Thanks for the reply! When I closed my image - after running that huge query and leaving it in an inspector... my image grew to 1.3GB, lol. When I closed the inspector, and all the class browsers, did the garbage collection, etc., it dropped back to 384MB. Still huge, and all my Class ins

[Pharo-users] Pharo on a chromebook?

Forgive my ignorance but does anyone have a recipe to run Pharo on a Chromebook? Without having to install another OS. And also not with SqueakJS. Just on ChromeOS? Seems like its not possible. Just wanted to double check. thanks Paul

Re: [Pharo-users] Ballooning image size! Approaching 400MB

Here is some additional data - attached - I checked the number of instances on select Classes before a UI load, during the UI load and after the UI load (and again). The class instances grow as expected, but do no release. I'm doing something wrong. I'm going to try a fresh image next, however,

Re: [Pharo-users] Pharo on a chromebook?

Hi Paul, It *is* possible! I've got it running on one of my Chromebooks, a Pixelbook model. (I gave my 2015 Pixel LS to my wife; I've yet to try it on that one.) See the attached image. You'll likely need to install a Linux container, which is how I got it to work. (I didn't try to get it run

Re: [Pharo-users] UFFI code problem

Where did you get this example? The straightforward answer is that "TheAnswer" appears to be undefined. In this context, 'ffiCall:' is expecting a valid C expression that indicates the type of a formal argument, followed by the formal argument. Based on the examples in the UFFI booklet, I would

Re: [Pharo-users] UFFI code problem

Try using this expression: ^ self ffiCall: #( int abs ( int TheAnswer ) ) module: LibC i.e., add 'int' to tell Pharo that 'TheAnswer' is to be interpreted as a C integer. -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html

Hi Russ - a quick look at your stats seems to indicate that something is holding on to your model, I didn’t understand the first object growing by 2, but the second increases by 1 each time, and it looks like some form of root object holding on to the others ? This of course means the GC can’t
