Re: [Pharo-users] What are immediate subclass and word variable subclass?

by Damien Pollet

Immediate means it's stored in the OOP itself, like SmallInteger in 32 bits. Variable word is like variable byte (ByteArray) I suppose, variable size, with indices instead of named instance variables, but each index points to a full word (I guess either 32 or 64bit depending on the VM) On 17 February 2016 at 16:30, Alexandre Bergel <alexandre.bergel(a)me.com> wrote: > Hi! > > I have stumbled on: > > Float immediateSubclass: #SmallFloat64 > instanceVariableNames: '' > classVariableNames: '' > package: 'Kernel-Numbersâ > > > Float variableWordSubclass: #BoxedFloat64 > instanceVariableNames: '' > classVariableNames: '' > package: 'Kernel-Numbersâ > > > What are immediate subclass and word variable? > > Cheers, > Alexandre > > -- > _,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;: > Alexandre Bergel http://www.bergel.eu > ^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;. > > > > >

by Tudor Girba

Hi, Indeed, the settings sending unknown messages is a problem, but that is a problem that is not related to Spotter. If you get it with Spotter settings, you will get it with all other settings as well. The settings mechanism should be more robust in my opinion.
