I had a look at dependents.

I see code in Object and Model which looks like quite close.

And also the comment in Model says:�Provides a superclass for classes that function as models. �The only behavior provided is fast dependents maintenance, which bypasses the generic DependentsFields mechanism. �1/23/96 sw

Is there a place where I can read more about that and/or can someone provide a quick explanation?

From memory and use of other smalltalks (VisualWorks): Model provides an instance variable for storing dependents (which are then non-weak), Object instances use a global, weak array.

At least, this is how I use them.

I allways have worries about discarding objects with dependencies (Morphs, models) and creating memory leaks that way.

Right.� I should have realized that.

I was looking for a replacement for:

� � � � Transcript closeAllViews

which has disappeared in Pharo 3.0.� So this seems to work:

� � � � (Transcript dependents select: #isSystemWindow) do: #close

Thanks,
