If you code something else in parallel you may have problem with the source sanity. I do not think that this element is thread safe and it would be I think that it would block one of the possible several threads that would be wanting to get compiled. Stef Le 2/10/16 à 14:15, Peter Uhnak a écrit :
Hi,
can anyone think of some inherent danger to performing code compilation on background?
E.g.
[ cls := Object subclass: #Something. cls addInstVarNamed: #myVar. cls addInstVarNamed: #myVar2. cls addInstVarNamed: #myVar3. cls compile: 'method'. cls compile: 'myVar ^ myVar'. cls compile: 'myVar3 ^ myVar3'. cls removeInstVarNamed: #myVar3. ] fork.
Parallel operations on the same class are not an issue for me, but I don't know if this can lead to some eventual corruption (because Pharo assumes that e.g. changes file is locked etc.).
Or e.g. installing new project/package on the background while I countinue doing my work (=writing code).
Thanks, Peter
