Thanks tobias This is cool to have that! With your experiment are loading MC definitions using fuel? Stef On Dec 2, 2011, at 4:54 PM, Tobias Pape wrote:
Dear all,
afte Fuel being available for both Squeak and Pharo, I experimented a little bit.
So, I put a new snapshot.fuel beside the snapshot.bin in the mcz zips (same for patch.* in mcd).
But to make it easier in the future to experiment with things, I included a small facility to extend serializers/materializers or similar things more easily. How is it done?
Example: new serializer in MCZ files: After my patch, include
MCMczWriter class>>serializerMine
^ [:writer :snapshot | writer writeSnapshotAsMyFormat: snapshot]
and
MCMczWriter>>writeSnapshotAsMyFormat: snapshot
self addString: (self doSomeConversion: aSnapshot) at: 'snapshot.myformat'.
as Extension methods in MCMczWriter, and execute
MCMczWriter populateSerializers.
Now, a new file member is added to every new mcz file.
As an example, I have done such thing for Fuel. Don't worry, it just uses the default behavior if Fuel is not present in either the image or the mcz-file.
Best, -Tobias
PS: for Squeak, see Inbox Monticello-topa.491, And I also have an MCD attached that should help using the code elsewhere.
