[squeak-dev] Deferring code update calls ...

Hi, there.

What do you think about triggering code updates not directly but deferred
via a project's deferred UI messages?

Here is a change set that does that:
thin-update-process.cs
<http://forum.world.st/file/n4904046/thin-update-process.cs>  

Since we do not update the compiled methods in existing process call stacks,
update code would be more robust if the respective call stack would be
small. For example, this affects code that uses direct inst var accesses
like HandMorph >> #handleEvent:.

Drawback: If you want to update the system programmatically such as in a
deployment scenario, you would have to account for that. Fabio? :D 

Best,
Marcel
