[Pharo-project] Why CompiledMethod print string shows #identityHah ?
Hi guys. When printing compiled methods we get something like: TestCase >> #assert: -> (TestCase>>#assert: "a CompiledMethod(585629696)") Where the number is the #identityHash. I have never really needed that, and even more, I always want to print: TestCase >> #assert: -> 'TestCase>>#assert:' So...my question is, is there any reason why it makes so much sense to print the identityHash of a CompiledMethod ? Thanks in advance, -- Mariano http://marianopeck.wordpress.com

TestCase >> #assert: -> 'TestCase>>#assert:' Are you sure? Would have helped you at the start of http://forum.world.st/Problem-with-CompiledMethodTrailer-td3508018.html :)

Not really sure. It's just seems to have been that way for a long time. Cheers, Henry

Not sure if the identityHash of the print string helped that much there.

Yes but mayte it was so so a long time where identityHash as memory address, in which case it would make more sense?
