Hi guys. I usually like to take a look to ProtoObject and see what is really needed for the minimal object. But having 30% of the methods being #tryNamedPrimitive:with: * is not fun.
what are these?
They look like a hack to simulate named primitives from the debugger, but I am not sure at all. I am just wondering...couldn't such compiled methods be compiled at runtime? say I use a String stream with a loop of arguments size and I build the string and then I get a CompiledMethod from it (kind of #compileSilently:. I guess it would be slower, but on the other hand I save the #lookupSelector: would that work? is it important the speed here? because I don't really know what these methods are used for exactly ;) Cheers
So...I wonder, do you think there could be another way so that to avoid having all those methods in ProtoObject ?
Thanks
