Hi All,
In VisualWorks Message implements #= & #hash naturally; two messages whose selectors and arguments are #= are also equal. But in Cuis, Squeak and Pharo Message inherits #= and #hash from Object, i.e. uses identity comparison. This is, to say the least, annoying. Any objections to implementing comparing in Message to match VisualWorks?
That sounds like an obviously good thing to do :-) Is the lookkupClass instance variable relevant for comparisons? I am guessing not, since we already have #analogousCodeTo: for that type of comparison. Dave
