Moving code from Squeak to VAST
The chunk format produced by “Squeak fileOutValues” is not compatible with VAST chunk/fileIn. Therefore, we did the following sequence:
- Grab Squeak file out from here
- Filein code in Pharo 9.0
- Write “Values” and “Values Testing” packages into Tonel format
- Import generated Tonel into VAST
Problems while importing code into VAST
Extended classes not existing in VAST
The first problem we got is some extension methods to classes that do not exist in VAST. More precisely, “Timestamp” and “ColorValue”.
Compilations errors during VAST load
The second problem is about methods that refer to classes that do not exist in VAST:
“Valuemap»atNewIndex: index put: anAssociation” references undefined variable “tally”
“Valuemap»removeKey: key ifAbsent: aBlock ” references undefined variable “tally”
“TextEmitter»streamClass” references non existing class “TextStream”
