this is bad��� redefining basicNew should not be done, never, never, never.
why ?
well��� is not forbidden, of course���
but many frameworks use basicNew as a way of obtain *explicitly* non-initialized objects (voyage does that, for instance).
that���s why we have new and basicNew :)
the space may be needed during #initialize.
this is why the initialization of the space is done in
basicNew.
But ok, we will fix that.
you can define new as:
new
^ self basicNew
basicSpace: BlUniverse default runningSpace;
initialize;
yourself
that���s perfectly fine :)
other possibility is to lazy initialise space with the default universe.
