I know the semantics of ifEmpty: and ifNotEmpty: changed in the trunk
image last year, to answer the receiver instead of nil in the other
case.
However, I also noticed ifEmpty:ifNotEmpty: changed but I'm not seeing
any semantic difference. Is there some subtlety I'm missing by the
new:
ifEmpty: emptyBlock ifNotEmpty: notEmptyBlock
"Evaluate emptyBlock if I'm empty, notEmptyBlock otherwise"
" If the notEmptyBlock has an argument, eval with the receiver as its argument"
self isEmpty ifTrue: [ ^emptyBlock value ].
^notEmptyBlock valueWithPossibleArgument: self
vs. old:
ifEmpty: emptyBlock ifNotEmpty: notEmptyBlock
"Evaluate emptyBlock if I'm empty, notEmptyBlock otherwise"
" If the notEmptyBlock has an argument, eval with the receiver as its argument"
^ self isEmpty ifTrue: emptyBlock ifFalse: [notEmptyBlock
valueWithPossibleArgument: self]
?
Thanks,
Chris
