| Summary | 0007167: ReadWriteStream opened with "on: aCollection" always has readLimit 0 | |||||||||||
| Description |
Example: "(ReadWriteStream on: 'abc') next" returns nil Encountered this when trying in vain: "Form fromBinaryStream: (RWBinaryOrTextStream on: file contents)" The reason is that ReadWriteStream is a subclass of WriteStream which does "readLimit := 0" in its WriteStream>on: method. my fix is: ----------- 'From Squeak3.10-basic of 26 May 2008 [latest update: 0007160] on 29 August 2008 at 1:27:05 pm'! !ReadWriteStream methodsFor: 'private' stamp: 'nf 8/29/2008 13:26'! on: aCollection 'fixing the bug that a ReadWriteStream had the readLimit set to 0 from the WriteStream>on: method' super on: aCollection. readLimit := aCollection size! ! ----------- After fixing this I saw immediately one side effect: A real time clock in a seaside interface showed extraneous garbage characters at the end. I suspect this is another bug. |

| Additional Information | A cursory glance at references to ReadWriteStream seems to indicate that most uses are for writing rather than reading which would explain why this bug was not noticed before. | |||||||||||

Found a better fix for my problem: (ReadWriteStream with: 'abc') reset next works It seems like "on:" is for writing and "with:" is for reading and writing. |

Do others agree with Norbert? |

Good questions could be What does ANSI says ? What do other dialects do ? And last, is it worth changing ? (how much code would break ?) |

Note: VW and Dolphin behave same as Squeak... VW (ReadWriteStream on: 'abc') next -> nil Dolphin (ReadWriteStream on: 'abc') next -> EndOfStreamError But using #with: leads to same results as using #on: and is thus different than Squeak. If I understand correctly, VW and Dolphin #with: are ANSI compliant, Squeak is not: ANSI says the stream initially has no future value (for read). |
