I think that the issue is always assigned back to the âownerâ after every step. The solution seems to be to manually assign it. Marcus

Re: [Pharo-dev] Fuel and multiple bytecode set support

by Max Leske

Just to be sure: is the size of the header stil 32 bits? Or is it now 64 bits? Or is it 32 bits for now and will then become 64 bits? If it will become 64 bits anyway, we might aswell store 64 bits right away. That way we wonât have to make another change later on.

Is there anything to fix there ? Replacing the header serialization with #encodeInt32: should fix the problem. Every header will from now on be an sint, is that correct?

Singletons where you have a hierarchy of classes and you want to have just one object for the whole hierarchy. e.g. ThemeIcons, there the singleton was until recently a class instance variable, leading to us having multiple instances of the singleton in the image, one per subclass.

Thank you, ClÃ©ment! We use instance var on class side is to implement singleton, for example. Iâve never used a class var and I am wondering what is a the most common use of such a variable?

Re: [Pharo-dev] Dark side of variables

by ClÃ©ment Bera

A class variable is shared between the class, its subclasses, its instances and its subclasses instances. An instance variable of a class is a regular instance variable (can be accessed only by the object holding it, in this case, the class and its subclasses have all an instance variable with potentially different objects in it). 2015-01-07 17:40 GMT+01:00 Roberto Minelli <roberto.minelli(a)usi.ch>: > Hi guys, > > Can anyone please quickly explain to me the difference between (1) an > instance variable defined on the class side and (2) a class variable > defined on the instance side? > > Thanks a lot! > > Cheers, > Roberto >

Dark side of variables

by Roberto Minelli

Hi guys, Can anyone please quickly explain to me the difference between (1) an instance variable defined on the class side and (2) a class variable defined on the instance side? Thanks a lot! Cheers, Roberto

But for us is more theoretical than practical so, unfortunately it feels like a no to us.
