Well if the class does not exists it calls the method on UndefinedObject (UndeclaredBinding). And you have: UndefinedObject>>subclass: nameOfClass instanceVariableNames: instVarNames classVariableNames: classVarNames poolDictionaries: poolDictnames category: category "Calling this method is now considered an accident. If you really want to create a class with a nil superclass, then create the class and then set the superclass using #superclass:" self traceCr: ('Attempt to create ', nameOfClass, ' as a subclass of nil. Possibly a class is being loaded before its superclass.'). ^ProtoObject subclass: nameOfClass instanceVariableNames: instVarNames classVariableNames: classVarNames poolDictionaries: poolDictnames category: category The best is to set manually the superclass after with #superclass: 2013/12/2 Stéphane Ducasse <stephane.ducasse@inria.fr>
Hi
when I load a class whose superclass is not in the image I have the impression that the system create a subclass from ProtoObject and I would like to be able to control the superclass.
ProtoObject subclass: #Adaptor1Example instanceVariableNames: 'customers accountID address name phoneNumber' classVariableNames: '' poolDictionaries: '' category: 'Examples-Cookbook'
Any idea where to look?
