Hi, > Title: Port packages from Pharo to GST and improve tooling. Mentor: me Description: Many Smalltalk packages are built for the Pharo platform. The sourcecode is managed using the Monticello system. GNU Smalltalk offers a gst-convert utility to modify code from one dialect to another. The goal is to port existing packages from Pharo and improve the tooling. This could include porting of Monticello, Filetree and or other packages. The goal should be to automatically track and convert a package that has been ported once. Multi-threaded GST VM Mentor: me Description: GNU Smalltalk is a simple but heavily optimized Virtual Machine. Smalltalk supports Processes but they are executed in a single OS process. We would like to move global variables into a struct and start using thread local storage. In the first step it should be possible to execute bytecode in parallel on two different OS processes. This should improve the locking/atomic operation in Smalltalk. _______________________________________________ help-smalltalk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-smalltalk
