Thanks for the reply, but the links mentioned in the forum are down. Also, I would a solution that works in Pharo 2. Wrapping every method in the system doesn't look like an efficient solution. I know about Bifrost but it's implemented in 1.0 and not likely to be ported to 3 soon (according to a discussion I found recently). Do you know a reason why the profiler of changing perform won't work? On Mon, Sep 23, 2013 at 3:11 PM, Paul DeBruicker <pdebruic@gmail.com> wrote:
Maybe you should use MethodWrappers.

Hello,
I would like to intercept all messages sent in the system, as part of a small project to investigate if the information can be used in useful ways (autocompletion, object compatibility detection, etc).
It will also involve filtering, aggregating and enabling/disabling it for space and time conservation,
I'm new to Pharo, but had some success by changing the main perform (perform:withArguments: IIRC) method in Object, and making others use it instead of the primitives. Someone told me it doesn't capture most messages because of optimizations done by the system.
My other thought was to use the profiler's spyOn as an approximation.
What do you think?
Thanks in Advance, Alejandro
