Hi all
I'm starting to write a chapter for the Smalltalk Technology book
http://brain.cs.uiuc.edu/StWritersCoop/A+collaborative+Book+for+Smalltalk
I would like to write a Chapter on how reflection or introspection is used
in Smalltalk every day. I know lot of the gory details of message passing,
mop issues, metaclass composition but this is not what I want to talk about.
So I will present basic reflection mechanism, then some examples,
I would to show
how the inspector works,
How become is useful with Envy when you need to get rid of an instance
Some scaffolding patterns (ken Auer)
I have some other ideas in mind
But I would like to know how do you use reflection and introspection in
your today work. I do not want something big but just a little queries that
can save a lot of time.
I started to collect the one people send form time to times in the mailing
list but if you have new ones I would love to know them
Reply to me also directly.
Thanks
Stef
