<div>Thanks Bert, but then, what is the difference between #shouldBeImplemented and #subclassResponsibility?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>And if I understand you correctly, the method stub created by a debugger should rather insert a #notYetImplemented than a #shouldBeImplemented, shouldn't it?</div>

</div>
<div>Best,</div>

If a class has a method sending #shouldBeImplemented, then subclasses are supposed to override that method, without modifying the superclass method. It basically marks that class as abstract.</div>

In contrast, #notYetImplemented indicates that the method itself should be modified, replacing the #notYetImplemented send with the actual code.</div>

<p>Hi all,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>what exactly is the intended difference between #shouldBeImplemented and #notYetImplemented? It feels a bit confusing.</p>
<p>I have always used #shouldBeImplemented only because it is predefined by the Debugger.</p>

<li>Both are detected by the debugger</li><li>But #notYetImplemented has its own subclass implementation of NotImplemented which handles #receiverClass and #selector.

Given the subclass Bar of the superclass Foo and I compile '#baz ^self shouldBeImplemented' on Bar. Why should this indicate that #baz might have to implemented on
