Re: [Pharo-dev] thisContext and block

by StÃ©phane Ducasse

Thanks. Ok This is clear now - the outerContext is like my scheme environment. This is what I was thinking but the examples I was trying (stupidly) where just passing the block as argument to different methods and they were not changing the outerContext :) Clement will write some class comments and method comments and I'm finishing the block chapter. I will use this example because I realise that I forgot block nesting.

Each block is created inside some context. This is the block's outerContext. If the block is not nested then the outerCOntext will also be the home context But if the block is nested inside another block activation, then the outerContext refers to that block activation, and the block activation's block's outerContext is the home context.
