About removing class side initialization
by stephane ducasse Feb. 1, 2024

Feb. 1, 2024

Hi community I would like to get use your ideas. Here is the case Context: Class side initialize are not good. We fixed a bug with guille today (should do a PR) this bug was breaking some projects by changing the superclass of classes to Object. Radical! It was produced by the removal of DependentFields in Object and the removal of the class side Object initialize method Needed to initialize DependentFields (RIP). Doing so when a class was doing a super initialize it executes the Behavior>>#initialize (which reinitialize the class and its superclass) and was not reachable before because blocked by Object class>>#initialize. Two Situations. When we do a class super initialize there are two cases Case 1. the super reaches Behavior>>#initialize and your class gets killed. Solution 1. Easy we will define a class side initialize method to protect the execution of Behavior>>#initialize. Ideally raising a warning so that people can find their problems. Case 2. You have a little hierarchy Root and Subclass1 Subclass2 classes Root class defines an initialize method. You should not redefine initialize in Subclass1 and do a super initialize else we get a double initialize. Not easy to grasp so I guess that many people are making this mistake. Solution 2. Cyril added a rule in a ReleaseTest (yes this is cool and we should use more rules and not code by hand in the releaseTest) that checks for no class side super initialize in Pharo. Now long time ago I thought that this class initialize is not that good and that I would like to have a way that class state dependencies do not have to be resolved by the developers by initializing first A then B but that the system could do it automatically. In this case we would not need initialize by class construction. Do you have an idea how such design could be? Iâm too dead right now to think but to me it feels a bit similar to lazy initialization. If all the shared variables would be only accessed by lazy accessors then we do not need to initialize them statically. Now this is a bit extreme but this is to illustrate my wish. So let us know :) Stef
