If you can live with only intercepting setters (not assigments) , then you can run some code AFTER loading the code, to install some method wrappers or Marea CompiledMethod proxy that intercept the execution of the setter method and do whatever you want. In the worst case you simply must re-run such script after reloading the code .... On Wed, Sep 9, 2015 at 3:27 PM, stepharo <stepharo@free.fr> wrote:

Hi,
is there a mechanism for observing a change of regular variables?
Normally I would use ValueHolder (or fire announcements manually), but this assumes I can change the code.
For example imagine a method of someone else's package ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ FAMIXNamedEntity>>name: aString name := aString ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I could simply override the method, but that's very brittle since if I were to update the package it would load the "unmodified" version.
Can I somehow overload the assignment operator? Can I augment methods? Is this even possible?
Thanks, Peter
