Updated 3.8.2 updates

Hi all,

I put up an updated set of updates for 3.8.2 here:
http://impara.de/~michael/proposed-3.8.2.zip

If no major problems turn up I would like to push those tomorrow or so.

Michael

Hi Mike,

I'm not sure of this is the final wanted shape for Semaphore>>critical
(From 6755SemaCritical):

critical: mutuallyExcludedBlock

        "Evaluate mutuallyExcludedBlock only if the receiver is not currently in
        the process of running the critical: message. If the receiver is, evaluate
        mutuallyExcludedBlock after the other critical: message is finished."

        | blockValue caught |

        caught := false.
        [
                caught := true.
                self wait.
                blockValue := mutuallyExcludedBlock value
        ] ensure: [caught ifTrue: [self signal]].

        ^blockValue


There was a bit of discussion about putting the "caught" flag AFTER the
wait.  Something like:

                self wait.
                caught := true. "signal the flag just after we got the semaphore"


See http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/squeak/message/123504 for an
explanation from Andreas.

Cheers,

-- Diego

I wasn't quite sure what the final conclusion of that discussion was and
went with the change sets that are on Mantis.
But, that might not have been the latest version? Andreas?

Hi!

Ehum, I just posted 4 enhs/fixes (references to Mantis) in the wrong
thread - the 3.9.1 thread.
Here:

707.html

Sure, nothing critical I guess.

regards, Göran

The update contains the correct version. The tests at

   http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=6588

will confirm it (they cover all the "interesting" situations). Also, if
you look at the update in question, you'll find that the "other half" of
the fix is in Process>>terminate (which ain't nice but works for now).

Cheers,
   - Andreas

This is 7153SemaCritical-ar.cs in the 3.10.1 updates.

Thanks all and we wish put in 3.10 all appropriate fixes of all forks of
Squeak.

We have only two yellow test for Mac in last Squeak3.10.1beta.7155.image.

And we test on three major OS (Windows XP, OS X, Linux) all we do.

So what would the failing "two yellow test " be?
