- unable to open 'objects' morph from world menu - vmParameterAt:put: failure

Hello,

I am using a new 64bit vm on Windows (Stack Spur Apr 12 2017) with a mostly up to date trunk image (last update: #17172), and when trying to open the Objects morph (to pull in objects for Morphic), I get an error in KedemaMorph:

calcTurtlesCount

turtleCount := 0.

turtlesDict do: [:a | turtleCount := turtleCount + a size].

Smalltalk vmParameterAt: 5 put: ((turtleCount * 3) min: 16000 max: 4000).

Smalltalk vmParameterAt: 6 put: ((turtleCount * 6) min: 32000 max: 8000).

The vmParamterAt: 5 put: xxxx (4000 in my case), gets a primitive failure.

Thanks,

cbc

We should probably just remove these lines.

once upon a time:

vmParameterAt: parameterIndex
    "parameterIndex is a positive integer corresponding to one of the VM's internal
    parameter/metric registers. Answer with the current value of that register.
    Fail if parameterIndex has no corresponding register.

Re: - unable to open 'objects' morph from world menu - vmParameterAt:put: failure

Thanks Bob,

yes, then it really can go.

Could somebody remove these two lines please?

In KedemaMorph>>calcTurtlesCount

Smalltalk vmParameterAt: 5 put: ((turtleCount * 3) min: 16000 max: 4000).
Smalltalk vmParameterAt: 6 put: ((turtleCount * 6) min: 32000 max: 8000).

Re: - unable to open 'objects' morph from world menu - vmParameterAt:put: failure

In reply to this post by Hannes Hirzel

The method itself (#vmParameterAt:put:) is very nicely documented. The use is:

5 allocations between GCs (read-write; nil in Cog VMs)

Re: - unable to open 'objects' morph from world menu - vmParameterAt:put: failure

Thanks, found it

SmalltalkImage vmParameterAt:put:

!

Another question: I do not have the classes like

StarSqueakForestFire (empty reference here http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/5538)

in my most recent image

Squeak6.0alpha #17206

I wonder where I can get them?

Or put the question differently: Where are the StarSqueak examples?

Re: - unable to open 'objects' morph from world menu - vmParameterAt:put: failure

StarSqueak? Probably removed during the 3.9 "cleanup". You might find it
on squeaksource.com if you're lucky. Else, you'll have to extract it from
3.8.

Re: - unable to open 'objects' morph from world menu - vmParameterAt:put: failure

Thank you for the answer, Levente. I think that will do.

Or I'll have a look at the archives in Edgar De Cleene's virtual

"refugio de viejos programadores"

:-)

Coming back to the initial question of this thread. I had no problem
choosing 'objects' the world menu in the latest update (see
attachment)

Right. Looks like Levente updated the package to fix this.

Re: - unable to open 'objects' morph from world menu - vmParameterAt:put: failure

For example the category 'Multimedia'.

Attached is a screen shot after hitting 'CTRL .' to interrupt it.

Can you confirm this error?
