Hi folks/Paul. First, sorry for the cross-posting. Let me know if I should ask this in another place. <br><br>I am interested in SRP and to understand the differences with SmartRefStream, ImageSegment, SIXX, parcels, etc. First I would like to find as much info as possible. Right now I found:<br>

<br>Now, my questions:<br><br>1) Does SRP supports cycles in my subgraph? If true, how do you achieve that? <br><br>2) What happens with objects like nil, true, false, or any other object that has to be unique in Smalltalk. I mean, how can I make sure that when I load the subgraph in another image, I won't have duplicates of nil, true, etc ?<br>
<br>3) Does it provide a way to fix problems like having to rehash Set instances or things like that?<br><br>4) Does it supports class reshape? suppose I put in the file objects of a certain class and then I load the file in another image where that class has different shape (re-order of instVar, rename, new insVar, etc...). If true, how do you achieve that?<br>
<br>5) Do you handle BlockClosure (or BlockCOntext), MethodCoontext, CompiledMethods and things like that ?<br><br>Thanks a lot for any hints you can give me.<br><br>Mariano<br><br>
