I am trying to play with some proxies that inherit from ProtoObject have slots. For example, I try to do this, but I get an error:
ProtoObject subclass: #BBB
�� �� �� �� instanceVariableNames: 'variable'
�� �� �� �� classVariableNames: ''
�� �� �� �� package: 'BBB'.
BBB class allSlots first read: BBB new
The problem is that the slot sends messages to its parent object, such as:
IndexedSlot>>read: anObject
�� �� �� �� ^ anObject instVarAt: index
This is a problem because a similar scenario happens also when you open a debugger on a proxy that tries to communicate with a remote image.
I think that instead of sending messages to the receiver, we should make the slot work with the mirror primitives.
For example, we would rewrite the read: method like:
IndexedSlot>>read: anObject
�� �� �� �� ^ thisContext object: anObject instVarAt: index
Do you agree? Can I open an issue for this? I think this is important.
Yes, please.
But does not thisContext degrades performance? ����
Guille extracted mirror primitives to separate class MirrorPrimitives (project Mirror in Pharo repo). I think we should start to use it and move away from context.
