Does not understand message inconsistency
by Aik-Siong Koh June 28, 2025

June 28, 2025

Why is UndefinedObject version of "did not understand" so different from others? It also inverts the object message paradigm. Thanks Aik-Siong Koh description Â Â Â "Returns a textual description of the exception (based on the message instance variable). If message is nil, it returns the defaultDescription instead." Â Â Â message ifNil: [ ^ self defaultDescription ]. Â Â Â message lookupClass == UndefinedObject ifTrue: [ Â Â Â Â Â Â ^ message selector printString , ' was sent to nil' ]. Â Â Â ^ 'Instance of ' , message lookupClass printString Â Â Â Â , ' did not understand ' , message selector printString

Variable references, readers, writers
by Aik-Siong Koh June 28, 2025

June 28, 2025

A variable can have references. Those references can be split into readers and writers of the variable. Can Pharo list readers and writers separately? Thanks, Aik-Siong Koh
