Re: [Pharo-project] announcements and weak references

Yes This is on our plate....I would like igor to have a look at all the weak stuff and after Annoucements

Hi,

Are there any plans to get Announcements use weak references?

I saw that in the repository of Lukas, there is a WeakAnnouncer. However, here the subscriptions are still held in a regular Dictionary.

Actually, I am not sure what is the status of weak references. I tried the following, but it does not seem to work:

| x array | x := GLMPane new. array := WeakArray with: x. x := nil. Smalltalk garbageCollect. array size

==> 1

Cheers, Doru
