Anonymous classes with instance variables
by Martin Beck 05 Dec '07

05 Dec '07

Hi there, I've got a simple problem with creating anonymous classes. Usually, one would do a Behavior basicNew, adjust the superclass and let the original object change its class to our anonymous one. However, as the name indicates, I can only compile new behavior to it, but no status. This means, I want to have an anonymous class with instance variables, which Behavior does not support. I experimented with ClassDescription and Metaclasses, setFormat: but could not achieve what I want... Any ideas? Regards, Martin

[ANN] Smalltalk flyers updated - German and Spanish translations required
by Damien Cassou 05 Dec '07

05 Dec '07

Hi, Smalltalk flyers are located to http://damien.cassou.free.fr/. I plan to create Squeak and Seaside flyers too. I've added a paragraph about blocks on the flyer. The flyer is translated to English, French, German and Spanish. I need a german and a spanish for the translation of the following paragraph. Also, in the Spanish version, there is no more free room for the squeak browser picture. So, someone has to rephrase the spanish version. If you have comments, feel free to answer this message. \newcommand{\stBlockTerm}{Block} \newcommand{\stBlockDefinition}{ Block are used to delimit a sequence of parametrized instructions for which evaluation is deferred. They can also be seen as anonymous functions with or without arguments. \begin{displaycode} \#('Hello ' 'World') \hspace{1cm} do: [:string | Transcript show: string]. \end{displaycode} The example sends the message \code{do:} to an array of strings with a block as a parameter. The block is evaluated once for each element in the array. The block parameter \code{string} contains each element of the array, one after the other. As a result of the whole expression, the strings \code{'Hello '} then \code{'World'} are displayed in the transcript. } Thank you -- Damien Cassou

Als >> Ergebnis >> werden nacheinander die Worte \code{'Hallo '} und \code{'Welt'} im >> Transkriptfenster ausgegeben. >> >> - Bert - Iterative refinement is good ;-) Blöcke sind Code in eckigen Klammern, der nicht sofort ausgeführt wird, sondern bedingt, wiederholt oder später. \begin{displaycode} \#('Hallo ' 'Welt') \hspace{1cm} do: [:wort | Transcript show: wort]. \end{displaycode} Dieses Beispiel schickt die Nachricht \code{do:} an ein Feld von Zeichenketten und übergibt dabei einen Block. Die Methode \code{do:} führt den Block mit jedem Feldelement aus, das als Parameter \code{wort} übergeben wird und nacheinander \code{'Hallo '} und \code{'Welt'} ausgibt. Back-porting to English: Blocks are code in square brackets that is not executed immediately, but conditionally, repeatedly, or deferred. \begin{displaycode} \#('Hello ' 'World') \hspace{1cm} do: [:string | Transcript show: string]. \end{displaycode} This example sends the message code{do:} to an array of strings, passing a block. The method \code{do:} executes the block with each element of the array, passing it as parameter \code{string}, and showing \code{'Hallo '} and \code{'Welt'} in the transcript. - Bert -
