Hi guys. The last literal of a instance-side compiled method always points to the SAME (#==) association of the class in Smalltalk global.<br>The literals of a compiled method that refer to class variables refer to the same association (#==) of the classPool of its class:<br>
<br>self assert: ((GRPlatform class &gt;&gt; #current) literalAt: 1) == (GRPlatform classPool associationAt: #Current).�� -&gt; true<br clear="all"><br>However, if I do a copy of the class:<br><br>| copy |<br>copy := GRPlatform copy.<br>
self assert: ((copy class &gt;&gt; #current) literalAt: 1) == (copy classPool associationAt: #Current).<br><br>this is not true anymore. Of course, you can see this because of the Class &gt;&gt; #copy implementation:<br><br>
So my question is....is #copy breaking the contract (and therefore it has to be fixed) or this is not mandatory for the system (as it is with the last literal pointing to classes)? <br><br>Thanks,<br><br>-- <br>Mariano<br>
