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

cbc
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.

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

Bob Arning-2

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.
    VM parameters are numbered as follows:
        1    end of old-space (0-based, read-only)
        2    end of young-space (read-only)
        3    end of memory (read-only)
        4    allocationCount (read-only)
        5    allocations between GCs (read-write)
        6    survivor count tenuring threshold (read-write)
        7    full GCs since startup (read-only)
        8    total milliseconds in full GCs since startup (read-only)
        9    incremental GCs since startup (read-only)
        10    total milliseconds in incremental GCs since startup (read-only)
        11    tenures of surving objects since startup (read-only)
        12-20 specific to the translating VM
        21    root table size (read-only)
        22    root table overflows since startup (read-only)
        23    bytes of extra memory to reserve for VM buffers, plugins, etc.

        24    memory headroom when growing object memory (rw)
        25    memory threshold above which shrinking object memory (rw)"

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).

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

Hannes Hirzel
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?

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

Hannes Hirzel
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)
