Hi Max,
could the cache be reimplemented using WeakArray? Stuff like this is a drag. eg in Squeak the Windows menu holds onto all the windows that were open when last the menu was opened. So to get a window reclaimed after being closed if you opened the Windows menu you have to open it again. I must fix that.
No idea. I really didnât look at what it does, I just tracked pointers ;)
But yes, maybe that would be a good idea. Adding âASTCache reset.â all over the place is not really a good strategy.
Iâll send a copy of this message to Marcus and Clément; I suspect they might know more about the AST stuff.
Yes⦠I am not happy with the AST cache as it is now. for one, yes, it might hold on to things. And it can get large. So we definitely need to have a look. (I am actually amazed how well it works till now⦠;-) ). Marcus
