good question :) On FHi,
I'm working with weak announcements,
good we need that. Igor was telling me that the right anwser are ephemerons (but for that: gc change is required). Now it would be good to have first a solution at image level
trying to make it work, and I have a problem in #on:do: protocol (or #when:do:) I try to explain:
This method receives a block, not an object/selector, so I can't create a WeakMessageSend which is the appropriate message to handle in other cases. Well, the real question is... how can I produce a "Weak BlockClosure reference" who can die if receiver dies? I tried some hacks (really ugly hacks, btw), but fail completely. Any idea?
best, Esteban
