Since several months, I wanted to create a little browser for learning VM and related stuff. I never did anything because I was lazy. Last week, I took Glamour and without knowing almost anything about it, in less than 3 hours (that includes everything, downloading the image, browsing examples, searching for something similar to what I need, and code the browsers I needed) , I come up with what I want to share with you. Basically, I only have the browsers for the moment. My knowledge is very limited in the Slang to C translator, or machine code simulation. However, the "real VM hackers" will try to provide me such functionalities. Having said that, there are 3 browsers: 1) VMBrowserSlang: shows only packages and classes which are written in slang. When you select a method, you have 2 panels: smalltalk code and C translated code. Screenshot: http://img857.imageshack.us/i/vmbrowserslang.png/ 2) VMBrowserMethods: shows all packages and classes of the system and for every method, you have 3 panels: smalltalk code, bytecodes and machine code (using the simple mapping) Screenshot: http://img862.imageshack.us/i/vmbrowsermethods.png/ 3) VMBrowserMappings: this is for you Eliot!! Basically, it shows all packages and classes of the system and for every method, you have 5 panels: smalltalk code and one panel per strategy to map to machine code (simple cogit, sista, etc). Screenshot: http://img4.imageshack.us/f/vmbrowsermappings.png/ As you can see the idea is to see the different stages of our code at the same time: smalltalk code, bytecodes, machine code, etc. The idea is to easily learn.

Now...the questions: 1) how can I put a title to the browsers ? In this case, they all are subclasses from GLMGlobalBrowserTemplate. I answer my self buildBrowser browser := GLMTabulator new. browser title: 'A Cool title'.

2) Is there a way to easily "close" and auto-adjust subpanes? For example, look this screenshot: http://img4.imageshack.us/f/vmbrowsermappings.png/ there are 5 panes that are rendered when a method is selected. I would love that somehow (which a little X in the tab title, or a checkbox somewhere with the available panes), one or more of those panes can be automatically removed (and if added again even better). And when I remove one of them, the others auto-adjust to ocupy the full container. It is really difficult to explain by email.. Ok...I found the method populate: #selection icon: GLMUIThemeExtraIcons glamorousCancel entitled: 'Close' with: [:text :aClass | self halt. ]. so that I can use it like this: sourceCodeIn: a | lintBrowser | (a text) title: 'Method source'; display: [ :class :method | class sourceCodeAt: method ]; forSmalltalk: [ :class | class ]; populate: #selection icon: GLMUIThemeExtraIcons glamorousCancel entitled: 'Close' with: [:text :aClass | self halt. ]. but still, I don't know how to remove the current code pane from the super container. I found something similar, but still don't know how to make it work: removePaneIndex: i | paneRemoved | paneRemoved := self panes removeAt: i. paneRemoved unregisterFromAllAnnouncements. self announce: (GLMPaneRemoved pane: paneRemoved fromBrowser: self )

thanks for any help mariano Thanks Thanks in advance -- Mariano http://marianopeck.wordpress.com -- Mariano http://marianopeck.wordpress.com -- Mariano http://marianopeck.wordpress.com _______________________________________________ Moose-dev mailing list Moose-dev(a)iam.unibe.ch https://www.iam.unibe.ch/mailman/listinfo/moose-dev
