I restarted the build and it was now green! This actually contains more PRs... 21478 Improve ThreadSafeTranscript isSelfEvaluating (detail / githubweb) 20258 Fix to make recursive links work Add test for 20258 (detail / githubweb) 21483 Cleanup romanNumber and add test (detail / githubweb) 21491 Simplify testAllButFirstNElements, testAllButLastNElements (detail / githubweb) 21501 remove NautilusGroupAutoBuilder (detail / githubweb) 21506 add back two lost inspector extensions (detail / githubweb) for 20258 Fix to make recursive links work: ------------------------------------------ This is work done with Benoit Verhaeghe to finally get meta-links work in deep "recursive" situations. Imagine you want to do something even on methods like #new. But that something for sure will call #new again in the code that you call... With the PR, now a link that calls #new can be installed on Behavior>>#new: link := MetaLink new metaObject: [ Object new ]; level: 0. (Behavior>>#new) ast link: link. ... and it does not lead to a recursion. The "level: 0" means that we are only interested in base-level execution. Every time a link activates, the "level" increases. E.g. if it is put to 1, the link would be active in the meta-level code itself. You can inspect Behavior>>#new and see what kind of code we create at the bytecode level. This is of course slower than just calling a method, so one should only use this mechanism if really needed, and we need to see if this can be optimised. For now this does not take into account any process forking happening on the Meta Level, this needs to be analyzed in the future (past versions just made sure the state is inherited). But that should be a rare case and should make the whole thing more usable already. Marcus
