Changes in GT for supporting in Pharo 12

This page documents changes that we did in GT for supporting it in Pharo 12.

Some changes are quick fixes that fix an issue, but would be better to review.

Updated load-patches.st.

RPackage>>#toTagName: is not in Pharo 12 so no need to patch it.

CompiledMethod>>#basicAsMCMethodDefinition basicAsMCMethodDefinition <gtPharoPatch: #Pharo> ^ MCMethodDefinition className: self methodClass instanceSide name classIsMeta: self isClassSide selector: self selector category: self protocol timeStamp: '' "self stamp" source: self sourceCode should use #protocolName instead of #protocol. Before #protocol returned a string, now it returns an object.

Added MetacelloToolBox to releaser

MetacelloToolBox Object subclass: #MetacelloToolBox instanceVariableNames: 'project methodSpec' classVariableNames: '' package: 'GToolkit-Releaser-BaselineModel-Metacello' is not much used in Pharo and was removed in https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/pull/15287. We copied it to releaser for now. We should review how/why we need to use it.

Added MetacelloMCProjectSpec>>#projectClass projectClass self className == nil ifTrue: [ ^ nil ]. ^ Smalltalk at: self className asSymbol ifAbsent: [ ] ; commit

we should review why we need it

Update GtRlDependenciesModelBuilder Object subclass: #GtRlDependenciesModelBuilder instanceVariableNames: 'projectsByBaselineClass repositoriesByUrl projectsChain' classVariableNames: '' package: 'GToolkit-Releaser-BaselineModel-Builder'

In Pharo 12 getting the metacelo version throug MetacelloMCProjectSpec MetacelloGenericProjectSpec subclass: #MetacelloMCProjectSpec instanceVariableNames: 'file' classVariableNames: '' package: 'Metacello-MC-Specs' . Instead we get it directly from the baseline class.

Move announcer attribute to Job Object subclass: #Job instanceVariableNames: 'block currentValue min max title children isRunning parent process owner announcer' classVariableNames: '' package: 'Jobs-Base' from GtJob Job subclass: #GtJob instanceVariableNames: '' classVariableNames: '' package: 'GToolkit-Pharo-Coder-UI-Refactorings'

In Pharo 12, Job Object subclass: #Job instanceVariableNames: 'block currentValue min max title children isRunning parent process owner announcer' classVariableNames: '' package: 'Jobs-Base' has an announcemt. So we add it to Pharo 10&11 in BaselineOfGToolkitPrerequisites>>#applyPatchForJob applyPatchForJob self fastForPharo13AndPharo12: [] forPharo11: [ Job addSlot: #announcer ] as we need GtJob Job subclass: #GtJob instanceVariableNames: '' classVariableNames: '' package: 'GToolkit-Pharo-Coder-UI-Refactorings' to have its own announcemet.

Protocols changes

The hierarchy of the class Protocol AbstractProtocol subclass: #Protocol instanceVariableNames: 'name methodSelectors' classVariableNames: '' package: 'Kernel-Protocols' is changed in Pharo 12. There is no more AbstractProtocol, AllProtocol andProtocolOrganizer.

Login to handle the finalization process was extracted from WeakArray Array weakSubclass: #WeakArray instanceVariableNames: '' classVariableNames: 'FinalizationProcess FinalizationSemaphore MournLoopProcess StopRequested StoppedSemaphore' package: 'Collections-Weak-Base' .

In Pharo 11 the logic to handle the finalization process is on the class side of WeakArray Array weakSubclass: #WeakArray instanceVariableNames: '' classVariableNames: 'FinalizationProcess FinalizationSemaphore MournLoopProcess StopRequested StoppedSemaphore' package: 'Collections-Weak-Base' . In Pharo 12 a dedicated class, FinalizationProcess Object subclass: #FinalizationProcess instanceVariableNames: '' classVariableNames: 'FinalizationSemaphore MournLoopProcess StopRequested StoppedSemaphore TheFinalizationProcess' package: 'GToolkit-UtilitySystemStubs' , was added.

One issue is that in Pharo 11, the class WeakArray has an class variable named FinalisationProcess, that is being changed. We add those methods that change the class variable FinalisationProcess using the patch BaselineOfGToolkitPrerequisites>>#applyPatchForWeakArray applyPatchForWeakArray self fastForPharo13AndPharo12: [] forPharo11: [ WeakArray addClassVarNamed: 'MournLoopProcess'; addClassVarNamed: 'StopRequested'; addClassVarNamed: 'StoppedSemaphore'; initialize.

WeakArray class compile: 'finalizationProcess "The finalization process arranges to send mourn to each element of the VM''s finalization queue, which is accessed via primitiveFetchMourner. The VM signals FinalizationSemaphore whenever the queue is non-empty. This process loops, waiting on the semaphore, fetches the first element of the queue and then spawns a process at a higher priority to actually send the mourn messages. If an error occurs in the higher priority mourn loop process then this process will simply spawn another process, hence ensuring that errors in finalization methods don''t break finalization. In addition this process also runs the old finalization scheme, supporting clients of the older, WeakRegistry based scheme. Hopefully this will go away when all clients have moved over." <gtPharoPatch: #Pharo11> "DO NOT EDIT HERE, see BaselineOfGToolkitPrerequisites>>#applyPatchForWeakArray" | throttle firstMourner | throttle := Semaphore new.

For FinalizationProcess Object subclass: #FinalizationProcess instanceVariableNames: '' classVariableNames: 'FinalizationSemaphore MournLoopProcess StopRequested StoppedSemaphore TheFinalizationProcess' package: 'GToolkit-UtilitySystemStubs' we compile the class in Pharo 11 as a patch, and missing class variables in Pharo 12, in BaselineOfGToolkitPrerequisites>>#applyPatchForFinalizationProcess applyPatchForFinalizationProcess self fastForPharo13AndPharo12: [ self applyPatchForFinalizationProcessPharo12Plus ] forPharo11: [ self applyPatchForFinalizationProcessPharo11 ] .

UUID ByteArray variableByteSubclass: #UUID instanceVariableNames: '' classVariableNames: '' package: 'Network-UUID-Base' changed superclass and structure

In Pharo 11 UUID ByteArray variableByteSubclass: #UUID instanceVariableNames: '' classVariableNames: '' package: 'Network-UUID-Base' subclasses ByteArray ArrayedCollection variableByteSubclass: #ByteArray instanceVariableNames: '' classVariableNames: '' package: 'Collections-Native-Base' . In Pharo 12 it subclasses Object and has a uuidData slot with the byte array data. In GT it was causing issues due to how we serialize UUID objects. Most changes are limited to:

UUID>>#fromBase64EncodedString: fromBase64EncodedString: aString64 | uid | uid := self nilUUID. self forPharo12AndNewer: [ (ZnBase64Encoder new decode: aString64 readStream to: uid uuidData writeStream) ] forPharo11: [ ZnBase64Encoder new decode: aString64 readStream to: uid writeStream ]. ^ uid

UUID>>#base64Encoded base64Encoded ^ self forPharo12AndNewer: [ self uuidData base64Encoded ] forPharo11: [ super base64Encoded ]

OmEntry Object subclass: #OmEntry instanceVariableNames: 'tags content' classVariableNames: '' package: 'Ombu-Entries' missing time

When OmEntry Object subclass: #OmEntry instanceVariableNames: 'tags content' classVariableNames: '' package: 'Ombu-Entries' objects are created in EpLog>>#addEntryWith:tags: addEntryWith: anEvent tags: blockClosureForCustomTags "Add an event with the specified tags" | newEntry | newEntry := OmEntry content: anEvent. "add tags" newEntry tags at: self class priorReferenceKey put: self headReference; in: blockClosureForCustomTags. "write the new entry" store newEntry: newEntry. "update caches with the new entry" self cacheEntry: newEntry. self announceAdded: newEntry. ^ newEntry no time is set in Pharo 12. We are using them in OmEntry>>#gtTime gtTime ^ self tagAt: EpLog timeKey .

Icons for EpEvent Object subclass: #EpEvent instanceVariableNames: '' classVariableNames: '' package: 'Epicea-Model' entries

In Pharo 12 a different visitor it used to just return the name of an icon instead of a Form object. The patch is in GtEpicea>>#iconForEpiceaChange: iconForEpiceaChange: anEpChange ^ self forPharo12AndNewer: [ Smalltalk ui icons iconNamed: (anEpChange accept: EpIconNameVisitor new) ] forPharo11: [ anEpChange accept: EpIconVisitor new ] .

Use CodeError instead of OCSemanticWarning.

Error handling changed in the compiler. Checking for those errors in coder in GtPharoSourceCoder>>#handleCompilerErrorsDuring:inContext: handleCompilerErrorsDuring: aBlock inContext: aGtPharoSourceCoderEvaluationContext ^ [ aBlock value. true ] on: self compilerErrorsToHandle do: [ :ex | self notifyParseError: ex requesterObject: aGtPharoSourceCoderEvaluationContext requesterObject. ex return: false ] should use CodeError in Pharo 12.

Restructuring of OCUndeclaredVariableWarning OCSemanticWarning subclass: #OCUndeclaredVariableWarning instanceVariableNames: '' classVariableNames: '' package: 'OpalCompiler-Core-Exception'

In Pharo 11 OCUndeclaredVariableWarning OCSemanticWarning subclass: #OCUndeclaredVariableWarning instanceVariableNames: '' classVariableNames: '' package: 'OpalCompiler-Core-Exception' contains the ast node and the logic to repair the code.

In Pharo 12, the warning contains a notice as an instance of OCUndeclaredVariableNotice that is a kind of RBNotice, representing error and warning information on a AST node.

The undecrared variable notice returns then OCCodeReparator that contains the logic for doing the repair that was before in the warning.

Removed requestor from CompilationContext Object subclass: #CompilationContext instanceVariableNames: 'requestor failBlock logged compiledMethod options environment productionEnvironment parserClass semanticAnalyzerClass astTranslatorClass bytecodeGeneratorClass compiledMethodTrailer encoderClass astTransformPlugins astParseTransformPlugins requestorScopeClass bindings compiledMethodClass semanticScope' classVariableNames: 'DefaultOptions DefaultParseTransformationPlugins DefaultTransformationPlugins' package: 'OpalCompiler-Core-FrontEnd' .

Was moved to OpalCompiler Object subclass: #OpalCompiler instanceVariableNames: 'ast source compilationContext compilationContextClass' classVariableNames: '' package: 'OpalCompiler-Core-FrontEnd' . It was used in BrRBTextStyler>>#privateStyle: privateStyle: aText | ast | ast := self parseWithSemanticAnalysis: aText. self style: aText ast: ast. self extraStyle: aText ast: ast. ^ aText

Setter is still OpalCompiler>>#requestor: requestor: aRequestor self compilationContext requestor: aRequestor

Clipboard Object subclass: #Clipboard instanceVariableNames: 'contents recent' classVariableNames: 'Default' package: 'Morphic-Core-Utilities' recent items

The variable to hold the history changed from recent to recentClippings.

WorkingSession Object subclass: #WorkingSession instanceVariableNames: 'manager deferredStartupActions id creationTime properties' classVariableNames: '' package: 'System-SessionManager-Utilities' does not have an id and creationTime in Pharo 12

DateAndTime Magnitude subclass: #DateAndTime instanceVariableNames: 'seconds offset julianDayNumber nanos' classVariableNames: 'ClockProvider LocalTimeZoneCache' poolDictionaries: 'ChronologyConstants' package: 'Kernel-Chronology' validation

DateAndTime Magnitude subclass: #DateAndTime instanceVariableNames: 'seconds offset julianDayNumber nanos' classVariableNames: 'ClockProvider LocalTimeZoneCache' poolDictionaries: 'ChronologyConstants' package: 'Kernel-Chronology' has more validation when parsed from a string. The code below fails in Pharo 12

DateAndTime fromString: '2023/10/01 09:00:00+00:00'.
