Re: [Pharo-dev] some little static analysis with great impact

There is already RBUncommonMessageSendRule which checks for #(#self #super #thisContext #true #false #nil). I could also extend it to temps and args. Uko

Hi

I often end up forgetting a period.

printOn: aStream super printOn: aStream. aStream nextPutAll: ' "' aStream nextPutAll: contents. aStream nextPutAll: '" '.

And statically the system could see it with a simple heuristics:

if the message as the same name as self, super, a tmp or an argument

May be there is a missing period.

Could the compiler get this analysis?
