Re: [Pharo-dev] SharedPool method definitions do not resolve Class names

This is probably my lack of understanding but I found this surprising behaviour....

I was trying to add a method to a subclass of FFIExternalEnumeration and it was not recognising classes. I traced this back to SharedPool which can be demostrated by trying to save the following method...

SharedPool >> test1 ^Object

reports... "Unknown variable: Object please correct, or cancel:"

Any insights?

I think it is a bug. SharedPool implement some special lookup to make the SharedPool variable lookup work. But it seems this conflicts with the variable lookup for globals.
