Turns out it was pretty easy to implement: https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/pull/1683 On Sat, 11 Aug 2018 at 15:59, Damien Pollet <damien.pollet@gmail.com> wrote:
I have a double-dispatch chain: x generic: y â y firstDispatch: x â x secondDispatchFromY: y
However this has been added after the fact, so there are direct uses of the secondDispatchFromY: layer, which I'd like to deprecate/rewrite to use the generic: one. But if I do so, the intermediate firstDispatch: gets rewritten in the process, and this results in an infinite recursion.
Is there a way to formulate the rewrite rule to avoid that?
I could make a whole new set of secondDispatchFromYbis: methods, change the firstDispatch: ones to use those, and then the rewrite would be ok, but it seems like a lot of noise in the code for a small deprecationâ¦
Thinking of it, this is not really a deprecation, more like an advice on proper useâ¦
