Re: [Pharo-project] Cannot be recompiled

April 24, 2013

      Hi,

(forwarded from pharo-users)

Object
subclass: #A
 instanceVariableNames: ''
classVariableNames: ''
 poolDictionaries: ''
category: 'Unclassified'.

(Smalltalk at: #A)
subclass: #B
 instanceVariableNames: ''
classVariableNames: ''
 poolDictionaries: ''
category: 'Unclassified'.

Object
variableSubclass: #A
 instanceVariableNames: ''
classVariableNames: ''
 poolDictionaries: ''
category: 'Unclassified'.

I'm working in the "new class builder" [1]. It automatically propagates
this format change to the subclasses, instead of raising the error like the
current class builder does. ie, the class B becomes variable when A becomes
variable.

Do you agree?

Cheers,
Martin

---> why do we raise the error "B cannot be recompiled"?
what's the problem with reformatting subclasses automatically?
