[vwnc] Array class>>braceWith: available in VW?

Hi all.. I'm moving some code from Squeak to VW and this appears to be
one of the couple of items missing.. Anyway, since this one is a bit
on the odd side I thought I'd ask..

On squeak it looks like :

braceWith: a
"This method is used in compilation of brace constructs.
It MUST NOT be deleted or altered."

| array |
array := self new: 1.
array at: 1 put: a.
^ array

Is your code making use of it? If so, why?

Cheers!

If you port the construct to VW remember that VM has a Cons bytecode that takes N items off the stack and answers an Array containing them. This can be used to implement the brace construct more efficiently. I've also added a similar bytecode to the Cog Squeak VM and have an implementation of brace using it (see downloads on my blog)

If the actual problem is the use of brace constructors in the code, load the
package BraceConstructor from the public repository and make it a
prerequisite of your package.

Cheers,

Boris,

I am moving some code over that Ramon Leon wrote for Squeak and to be totally honest, I'm not sure exactly what it does hence my question...

I can post a few lines later to show the usage pattern or you can look at his SSForms package on Squeaksource and look at the validation methods using #format calls which were not working for some reason hence my investigation...

Cheers!

[vwnc] VW on OS X 10.2.x?

In reply to this post by Joachim Geidel

Is there a recommended vm for OS X 10.2.8, or is there no version of
Visualworks for that platform?

The latest version is for 10.4.x; versions prior to 7.5 might work on that,
but they won't be that stable :/
