Hi Marcus,

So now '��self class allSlots��' should be used also in the debugger to get the instance variables of an object?


Cheers,
Andrei

Hi,

Now GTInspector can inspect objects that use custom Slot definitions.

https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/14741/GTInspector-add-simple-slot-support

create a class with he TestSlot (where the ivar lives in the Slot instance and is thus shared
over all instances of A):

Object subclass: #A
slots: { #iv => TestSlot }
classVariables: { ��}
category: ���Playground'


Inspect

A new

change ���iv��� to value (e.g. 5).

inspect another ��"A new���

==> it should show the value as 5.

Thus both reading and writing now is done via the Slot. (as such this require just a very simple change in GT, of course).

The GT support of course needs to be improved later:��

-> we need a view that shows the object ���as it really is��� (keep in mind, this object has no VM level instance variable!).
-> In the view with the slots they should annotated so we see that it is a slot and can easily navigate to the slot definition
-> ��� I am sure more will be obvious as soon as we use it.
