Hi all
I'm creating a class SmalltalkImage from SystemDictionary.
Note that the name is not fixed. The responsibility are
VM+GC+Modules+Changes....
So if you have a better name do not hesitate.
Now the question that hurts:
how do we want to access it from within a method
Proposal one:
SmalltalkImage uniqueInstance vmPath
I did everything with proposal one but I do not like it.
Proposal two:
SmalltalkImage default vmPath
could be better still...
Proposal three:
Squeak := SmalltalkImage default "somewhere"
and in the method
Squeak vmPath
I would favor proposal three even if I do not like global variable.
Note that once SystemDictionary is cleaned with **could** reuse
Smalltalk.
Proposal four:
move everything on class side but I should say that this solution is
the one that I hate over all the other one.
So please tell us what you prefer.
Stef
