SRE (Squeak Reverse Engineering) is set of three tools making Squeak
objects visible and tangible:
1) *SRE collaboration* for building a diagram a system of objects with the
links between them.
2) *SRE Object Browser* to get a full description of a single object with
its identity, state, and behavior. The class hierarchy is flattened so that
you see the object as a whole.
3) *Object>>traceRM:* a method that dumps the stack in the Transcript.
Taken together, these three tools are meant to get their user in closer
contact with the real objects. The tools shall give better understanding of
existing systems and better contol over new ones.
There is also a new version of the technical note that uses these tools to
answer the question "What is a Morph?". It is posted at
http://heim.ifi.uio.no/~trygver/2004/babysre/BabySRE.pdf
The new release is gratefully based on suggestions from Milan Zimmermann
and Chris Muller.
Enjoy
