one of the point about breakpoint is that they should not get the method dirty. I know that some breakpoint code has been harvested but I do not remember how to use it.
There is a very simple breakpoint mechanism in Pharo (in Squeak, too, but it was a bit broken there).
To try: There is a "toggle break on entry" item in the menu of methods in the old browser.
Technically, this just recompiles the method with a call to #break at the beginning.
is it better than doing a trick with method dictionary, as i showed in example?
I did not check your example... but it sounds that it is at least as good. Maybe the source-manipulation was done to later support breakpoint anywhere in the code (not only the beginning) Marcus
