Hi. > > Do we have one? What about code readability? > What is the problem with code readability? Well... that if you're going through a class for the first time and it's full of plain, I repeat PLAIN, accessors, then it's not funny to look up a new method just to see it's ^foo... > And there is the Jitter. > I think... I really don't know... it's been a while since I last read news about Jitter. Andres.

But the subject!... snif, snif! :~( The subject said "Interval Problem"... snif... and I started the thread with that subject trying (VERY UNSUCCESSFULLY!!!) to restrict the lack of accessors to the Interval class...

[Interval Problem] 2 cents
by Andres Valloud 31 Jul '99

31 Jul '99

Hi. I think it would be a good idea to remove the self sends from any fix, and replace self someInstanceVariablePlainAccessorMethodNamedTheSame with theInstanceVariableItself. Because then you start adding message sends and that is time expensive. Andres.

Do we have one? What about code readability? Andres.

[Bug][Fix] For Fraction>>=
by Dwight Hughes 30 Jul '99

30 Jul '99

A couple of days ago it was noted on c.l.s that (Fraction numerator: 3 denominator: 6) = (1/2) --> false in Squeak and some other Smalltalks (VW3.0 also returns false, but Dolphin 2.1 returns true), so to support the goal that Squeak always do the "right thing" with numbers, I offer the attached fix. -- Dwight 'From Squeak 2.4c of May 10, 1999 on 30 July 1999 at 2:33:20 pm'! !Fraction methodsFor: 'comparing' stamp: 'dwh 7/30/1999 14:26'! = aNumber aNumber isNumber ifFalse: [^ false]. ^ (self - aNumber asFraction) isZero ! ! !Fraction methodsFor: 'comparing' stamp: 'dwh 7/30/1999 14:18'! isZero ^ numerator = 0! ! !Integer methodsFor: 'comparing' stamp: 'dwh 7/30/1999 14:18'! isZero ^ self = 0! !

squeak & 2.0.29 Linux kernel, OK?
by Martin Brown 30 Jul '99

30 Jul '99

I went to the squeak download site and noticed that the main (?) linux file had as part of its name SqueakVM-2.4-i386-linux-2.0.36. I could not find any info on this file and its system requirements. Is the for glibc only? Version of glibc? Is it libc compatible? Will it work with my libc5 2.0.29 kernel? Are there other compatibility issues? Thanx. - Martin J. Brown, Jr. - - BEAUDESIGN.COM -
