Hi Johan,
We found you have implementation of an OB-Debugger in your omnibrowser repo.
Yes, in the package OB-Tools there are functional implementations of debugger, filesystem browser, object browser (inspector), process browser, workspace, and transcript.
Could you comment to us what is the state of that code?
I haven't looked into the code lately, so it might be slightly out of sync with the current OmniBrowser code. The code was functional and provided about 90% of the functionality the original Smalltalk-80 tools provided. At the time the tools were built they were notably slower than the original tools. I doubt that that this is still a big problem, because the meta-model has seen various major optimizations. The worst thing about the code is that there are no tests. There is no excuse for that. This is plain bad.
Is there a newer version?
Not that I know. Dale from GemStone had been working on the tools for a while, but I think all his changes are in my repository.
Does it makes sense for us to pick up the project and see what we can do with it?
I think that would be beneficial. Imagine we could extend our debuggers and inspectors the same way as the browsers. Lukas -- Lukas Renggli www.lukas-renggli.ch
