Hi Christoph,

Hi all,


currently, the comparison of CompiledMethods does not honor their selector, e.g.:


Object >>  bar: arg

^ arg * 2


Object >>  foo: arg

^ arg * 2

(Object >> #foo:) = (Object >> #bar:) will answer true.

Is this intended behavior or rather a slip?

Intended.  The method is defined to compare a method’s effects and state (pragmas, properties).

I find this especially confusing as it the CompiledCodeInspector, you can see a difference in the literals of both methods, but nevertheless, #hasSameLiteralsAs: answers

Ok but I want to know what a method’s semantics are when I ask for equality (at least that was what I was interested in when I defined it). The selector and methodClass arguably don’t have a bearing on this.

true.

The selector and methodClass are stored as literals but not referenced as literals (although methodClass is part of super sends).


Best,
Christoph
