Hi Jaromir,


from what I know the VM initializes Context objects lazily and only to the required extent. Eliot wrote an interesting "marriage story" about this recently, see: http://forum.world.st/Two-new-curious-Context-primitive-questions-tp5125779p5125782.html

Also, suspendedContext is only set when the process is not running at the moment.

Did you try to fetch the same values from the process itself by using "thisContext"?


Best,

Christoph

Betreff: [squeak-dev] Explorer / Inspector bug?

Hi, I tried to explore and debug this simple code:

p := [[true] whileTrue: [10 second wait]] fork

p explore

... the explorer shows pc=nil and sender=nil but the process is running and
responding correctly to isTerminated test and also showing correct answers
in the bottom mini-workspace. However, when I open another explorer on the
suspendedContext, it shows pc=nil and sender=nil even in the
miniworkspace...

This doesn't seem right but can't figure out where the problem is. And the
explorer has to be run as a separate command...
