==================== Summary ====================
Name: Tools-LM.828 Author: LM Time: 13 August 2018, 1:25:54.504807 pm UUID: 061511ca-729a-ce43-a08c-8057c24f7406 Ancestors: Tools-tcj.827
Added the ability to exclude specific objects from the PointerFinder. Improved the Explorer's "chase pointers" context menu to exclude the Explorer itself from the search (includes some meta-programming, not ideal, but certainly better than previously, ideas for improvement appreciated). Changed the way the PointerExplorer displays references, it now states the associations name on the left, and the Objects hash is moved to the right, together with the objects displayString. These changes make it much easier to understand how the objects are associated with each other and should make it easier to track down memory leaks.

!PointerFinder commentStamp: '<historical>' prior: 0! I can search for reasons why a certain object isn't garbage collected. I'm a quick port of a VisualWorks program written by Hans-Martin Mosner. Call me as shown below. I'll search for a path from a global variable to the given object, presenting it in a small morphic UI.
Examples: PointerFinder on: self currentHand PointerFinder on: StandardSystemView someInstance
Now, let's see why this image contains more HandMorphs as expected...
