If you want some projects using metalinks for inspiration:

https://github.com/peteruhnak/metalinks-toolkit

https://github.com/peteruhnak/live-instance-viewer

(the second one also has a link to PDF explaining it in more detail)

Also here an example��http://blog.yuriy.tymch.uk/2016/02/vigorous-caching-in-pharo-or-how-i-used.html

Hi,

it may not be actively maintained but Phantom has recently been ported to Pharo 6/6.1 https://github.com/InesSosa95/PHANtom

that's a good news :)����

You could also use Reflectivity (look for MetaLink class), which should not be hard to understand if you are familiar with aspects (although that is not aspects).

��

For example, if you wanted to trace the receivers and parameters of a method named #mWithArg1:withArg2:withArg3: in class C, you could do :

|link|

link := MetaLink new.

link control: #before.

link arguments: #(#receiver #arguments).

link metaObject: YourMetaObject.

link selector: #yourMethodWithArg1:andArg:.

(C lookupSelector: #mWithArg1:withArg2:withArg3:) ast link: link

��

YourMetaObject is here an object which will receive the yourMethodWithArg1:andArg: with as arguments the receiver of the method #mWithArg1:withArg2:withArg3: and its arguments as an array.

It could be a block with 2 arguments, or any other object that you would use to implement your trace behavior. You have a number of reifications available that you can pass as arguments from the context, look for subclasses of RFReification.

I was not aware of MetaLink. Thank you!
