Dear All,

PrimCallController 1.0 is available via SqeakMap. It is a - command line - tool with some value for testing plugins.

This is my first SqueakMap entry at all, hopefully I've gotten it right (please raise your hands, if not!).

Greetings Stephan

"Change Set: PrimCallController 1.0 Date: 16 June 2004 Author: Stephan Rudlof Audience: (plugin) developers, SUnitTest writers Requires: Squeak3.7beta (may work with older versions)

A PrimCallController (PCC) serves for switching external prim calls (primitiveExternalCall) on and off: this is helpful for e.g. testing of plugins. Dis/en-abling prims by a PCC works for *both* internal and external modules! This package contains two concrete PCCs using totally different mechanisms for dis/en-abling prims, each has its value (see below).

History -------- 1.0 - First release bundled with many SUnitTests; therefrom I think it is stable.

Excerpt from the class comment of PrimCallControllerAbstract ------------------------------------------------------------------------

A PrimCallController (PCC) serves for switching external prim calls (primitiveExternalCall) on and off: this is an abstract class, instantiate one of the subclasses PCCByLiterals and PCCByCompilation.

External prim calls are used to access internal and external modules (plugins) as shown by SmalltalkImage current listLoadedModules. SmalltalkImage current listBuiltinModules. Note: not loaded external modules (since they have not been called so far) are not shown by these methods.

Highlight: dis/en-abling prims by a PCC works for both internal and external modules!

To help you choosing the right subclass, some properties are listed in the following table:
