Hi!
I am sitting here fixing SM (1.07) and realized that SM Package Loader 1.02 does not contain the code in update 5294.
Yes, you're right, I'm still thinking what to do about that. I really hate those dynamic "let me just peek in my namespace" Smalltalk at:s. I think the compiler should slap people on the wrist when they write such code... OTOH, I don't have a better way of implementing Ned's fix at the moment. Therefore, I'm stalling for a bit, and will probably give in and publish a version with Ned's fix soon.
I am not sure why that update made it into the image - but anyway. I thought we intended to keep these packages as ... packages! :-) I guess it was a mistake.
Good point. And there I demonstrated precisely why it's a bad idea... ;-)
I am releasing a new SM tomorrow with the directory bug fixed (turned out to be quite a bit of code to hack in order to make it "proper" - but it is ok because the same code will probably be used in SM1.1).
regards, Göran
PS. Hmmm, the latest beta image has a weird debugger. It behaves weird when trying to step over "self halts" (and sometimes crashes the VM) and also when doing "debug it"... _______________________________________________ Squeakfoundation mailing list Squeakfoundation@lists.squeakfoundation.org http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/listinfo/squeakfoundation
