guys I have done a quick test of the closure image, with the mac VM on
the inria page.
I think it is probably unrelated but the old debugger in the core
image is severely broken. Could someone please remind me
1) what we were going to do with the old debugger. I know there is
work going on in the dev image on the new one... what is the strategy?
2) i'd appreciate if someone could see if there is a bug report that
confirms this behaviour below. Otherwise I will at least file a
report. Candidate bug report is #329 but I am not sure exactly if it
is what I see.
steps
1. run ClosureTests in the test runner
2. 3 fail, so click on testToDoWithArgument
3. hit debug
4. restart the test method
5. step over the to:do:. you only enter the loop block once, BUG #1 ?
6. step into the assertValues: method as it is highlighted
7. highlight now enters the loop again, not into the utility method. BUG #2 ?
8. carefully step until you get into the assert method, if you do this
wrong a new notifier pops up BUG #3. if you kill this you get error
unwind pop up that you can't ever kill. BUG #4 ?
basically this debugger is unusable and I think it has been for some
time. I'm sure I commented in the past. so please give me your
thoughts on the old debugger and live issues in the tracker. Do
people not notice, because they generally load the OB debugger? I
want to know where to concentrate my efforts. I'm not sure we should
develop the old debugger too much, but at one point it did work in
squeak. I'm sure the unwind notifier bug predates pharo. surely it's
not just me. my vote would be to attempt to fix the debugger, so we
have one in the core image that works, and then perhaps leave it
alone.. or we promote the new one into it when it can be a
replacement.
on the closure related note, what is perhaps interesting in a workspace is
values := (1 to: 5) collect: [:each | [each] ].
values collect: [:each | each value]
--> #(1 2 3 4 5)
| i |
values := (1 to: 5) collect: [:each |
i := each.
[i] ].
values collect: [:each | each value]
-->#(5 5 5 5 5)
values := OrderedCollection new.
1 to: 5 do: [:i | values add: [i] ].
values collect: [:each | each value]
--> an OrderedCollection(6 6 6 6 6)
I know the second and third gives non closure related result, but I
don't know if the first one shows valid closure or not.
Anyway please direct and I will keep testing.
thanks,
Mike
