WRT clean closures, check what I did in Cuis to serialize<br>
SortedCollections. See implementors and senders of #isClean.<br>

Nice. Thanks Juan. I was checking your code, and that's exactly why I asked Eliot. In your method you say:<br>
<br>
isClean<br>
"A clean closure is one that doesn't really need the home context because:<br>
- It doesn't send messages to self or super<br>
- It doesn't access any instance variable<br>
- It doesn't access any outer temp<br>
- It doesn't do ^ return"<br>
.....<br>
<br>
So... my question is, WHAT do I need to serialize if I want to be able to serialize also "non clean". I mean, for each item on that list, what do I need apart from the closure instance and the receiver and method from the outerContext ? the whole stack of contexts ?<br>
<br>

I think it is needed to know why you need to serialize a non-clean closure. If it is just to be able to evaluate it,</blockquote><div><br>well, some people may just need that, but there are cases where I need it completely. I mean, I need to serialize the whole possible graph of objects. This is an example for what I am doing in my PhD. We are also experiment with remote messages and things like that and sometimes we pass a whole stack. In that case I thin it also make sense. But again, these are particular cases. I agree that most of the times the closure will be "clean"<br>

<br></blockquote><div><br>Yes, maybe I was not clear. When I refer to "stack" I refer all instances of ContextPart (well, subclasses) and all the objects reachable from there.<br><br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
