- <h1>What is Smalltalk YX?</h1> <h2>a programming language</h2>
- <div class="content">
- <p>
- Smalltalk YX is an <strong>open source</strong> programming language. It's an implementation of the <a href="http://www.smalltalk.org" target="_blank">Smalltalk-80 standard</a>.
- </p>
- <p>
- <a href="http://smalltalk.org">Smalltalk</a> is a dynamic object-oriented programming language. With the name <strong>Smalltalk</strong> we usually refer to the language standard (syntax, semantics, philosophy, etc.). You can think of Smalltalk-80 like the C99 standard.
- </p>
- <p>
- <acronym title="Smalltalk YX">Syx</acronym> is one of the implementations of this great environment.
- </p>
- <a href="#1" name="1" class="next">WHY SYX</a>
- </div> 
- </li>
- <li>
- <h1>Why Smalltalk YX?</h1> <h2>why not?</h2>
- <div class="content">
- <p>
- <acronym title="Smalltalk YX">Syx</acronym> is <strong>fully</strong> <a href="http://www.opensource.org">open source</a>, distributed under the terms of the <a href="http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php">MIT license</a>.
- </p>
- <p>
- <acronym title="Smalltalk YX">Syx</acronym> is written in ANSI ISO C and has the following purposes:
- <ul>
- <li><strong>Readable code</strong>
- <p>
- What we want is to let everybody read and understand the code of Syx either without a specific knowledge of how languages work generally.
- </p>
- </li>
- <li><strong>Flexibility trough easy creation of plugins</strong>
- <p>
- Everybody can extend the lower layer of Syx with the creation of plugins, to interface Smalltalk with C/C++ and viceversa. The plugin system must be easy and efficient.
- </p>
- </li>
- <li><strong>Highly portable</strong>
- <p>
- What we expect from this project is to be highly portable to all platforms, or at least the most important platforms, with the same code, and to be as much flexible to be ported to any other platform currently unsupported.
- </p>
- </li>
- <li><strong>Optimized</strong>
- <p>
- Smalltalk is an expressive language, with a big collection of classes, code and self-documenting methods. Optimization must be one of the most important keys for this project to accomplish the needs of many developers.
- </p>
- </li>
- <li><strong>Modern</strong>
- <p>
- The evolution of computing brings to us new technologies everyday of which Syx will be updated to be one of the first choices for developers to look for.
- </p>
- </li>
- <li><strong>Embeddable in C applications</strong>
- <p>
- Embedding Smalltalk in C applications with an easy-to-use API must be in the interest of any developer that wants a good object-oriented language for scripting in his applications.
- </p>
- </li>
- <li><strong>Easy to use, powerful and well-structured environment</strong>
- <p>
- The whole environment is the base of all the good things that come up with Syx. It must be always improved and made to be even more friendly.
- </p>

- First of all decide if the package must provide plugins and which plugins you want to build. Then specify the right paths where to install Syx components <i>(Smalltalk files, the image, the plugins, the library and the syx command)</i>.
- </p>
- Type <pre>./configure --help</pre> to see a list of options.
- <p>
- <ol>
- <li>Be sure the build is clean: <pre>make clean</pre></li>
- <li>Now you can build Syx: <pre>make</pre></li>
- </ol>
- </p>
- <br>
- Now instead of doing <pre>make install</pre> as usual you must provide an alternative path.
- <p>
- Take care <strong>the path must be absolute</strong> <i>(e.g. /home/myuser/syx-bin)</i>:
- <pre>
- make install DESTDIR=/home/myuser/syx-bin

- The best way to create a patch is to use the <pre>git format-patch</pre> command, which credits you in the git history.
- <p>
- <br>
- Once you create a patch, if you want, also add a <a href="http://repo.or.cz/w/syx.git?a=blob;f=ChangeLog;hb=HEAD">ChangeLog</a> entry with your name, email and the files you changed and why.

- <h1>Accessing objects</h1> <h2>do it maintenable</h2>
- <div class="content">
- <p>
- Each object has its own data that can be accessed through its own macro, for example:
- <pre>
- SyxOop var = SYX_ARRAY_ELEMENTS(array)[index];
- SYX_ARRAY_ELEMENTS(array)[index] = var;
-</pre>
- You can find a list of macros in the <a href="./doc/index.html">API documentation</a>.
- </p>
- <p>
- <br>
- Variables in normal objects are accessed with the following macro:
- <pre>
- SyxOop var = SYX_OBJECT_FIELDS(object)[index];
- SYX_OBJECT_FIELDS(object)[index] = var;
- </pre>
- </p>
- <p>
- Get data as syx_symbol, syx_string, byte array, float or large integer as shown below:
- <pre>
- syx_symbol symbol = SYX_SYMBOL_CHARS(oop);
- syx_string string = SYX_STRING_CHARS(oop);
- syx_uint8 *byte_array = SYX_BYTE_ARRAY_ELEMENTS(oop);
- syx_double float_num = SYX_FLOAT_VALUE(oop);
- mpz_t large_num = SYX_LARGE_INTEGER_MPZ(oop);
- </pre>
- </p>
- <p>
- Usually, there's a macro for each known variable of the most used objects by the VM:
- <pre>
- SYX_CLASS_SUPERCLASS(class)
- SYX_METHOD_SELECTOR(method)
- SYX_PROCESS_STACK(process)
- ...
- </pre>
- </p>
- <p>
- Don't use the class attribute to access the class of an object, call the following inlined functions instead:
- <pre>
- syx_object_get_class (SyxObject *object)
- syx_object_set_class (SyxObject *object)
- </pre>

- This might seem weird but it's a <a href="http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6571762" target="_blank">bug of Solaris</a>. It's missing the x11.pc file which is the configuration file for the X11 library which is required to compile the X11 plugin of Smalltalk YX.
- </p>
- <p>
- If you want to disable the plugin, you can issue the configure script as follows:
- <pre>./configure --disable-x11 ...</pre>
- If you want to install the X11 plugin, please <a href="http://code.google.com/p/syx/issues/detail?id=27">read the issue #27</a> for more informations.

+ <p>
+ <br />
+ <strong>No</strong>, <a href="$(ROOT)/about.html">Smalltalk YX</a> is very portable and runs on many platforms including 32-bit platforms. You see mostly 64-bit packages in the <a href="$(ROOT)/install.html">downloads</a> most of the developers work on 64-bit system so we can create only 64-bit binary packages.

+ <p>
+ <br />
+ This might seem weird but it's a <a href="http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6571762" target="_blank">bug of Solaris</a>. It's missing the x11.pc file which is the configuration file for the X11 library which is required to compile the X11 plugin of Smalltalk YX.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ If you want to disable the plugin, you can issue the configure script as follows:
+ <pre>./configure --disable-x11 ...</pre>
+
+ If you want to install the X11 plugin, please <a href="http://code.google.com/p/syx/issues/detail?id=27">read the issue #27</a> for more informations.
