Hi Hannes, Can open a bug report? I though most recursive problems were fixed in the new inspector. Seems that there are still some related to printing recursive structures. You can switch to the previous inspector (GTInspector setGTInspectorEnabledStatus: false), however, this bug seem to also kill that inspector. Cheers, Andrei On Sat, Aug 29, 2015 at 7:16 AM, H.

Hello
I have realized that inspecting a recursive data structure is very slow in Pharo 4.0
A test case:
| myDict | myDict := Dictionary new. myDict at: #hello put: 'hello'. myDict at: #recurHello put: myDict. myDict inspect
It takes a long time for the inspector to come up. And the image freezes later on if you continue.
The problem is with the inspector because if I do | myDict | myDict := Dictionary new. myDict at: #hello put: 'hello'. myDict at: #recurHello put: myDict. 3 + 4 inspect
it comes up instantly.
As a comparison I attach the Cuis ** test result. The inspector comes up instantly and the image does not have any problems.
What are the workarounds in Pharo 4.0?
- Setting a time out somewhere? - Disabling certain functions? - Loading a simpler inspector?

Hannes
