Project idea Name: Instance Derreferencer for Pharo Skill level: Intermediate Possible Mentors: Name of the Student: Alejandro Infante
Description: A problem with image based environment is, when you detect a memory leak is removing those objects from the system. This tool would provide a handy UI to inspect the current instances of the classes that we think they have a memory leak and, in case there are objects that are not being garbage collected, offer to the user a Derreference button. This is going to iterate over all the objects that have a reference to my object and remove that reference, finally enabling the Garbage Collector to get rid of the leak. 2014-02-14 5:08 GMT-08:00 Nicolas Petton <petton.nico...@gmail.com>: > > Paolo Bonzini writes: > > > Il 11/02/2014 10:42, Damien Cassou ha scritto: > >> Hi fellow Pharo hackers, > >> > >> ESUG, the European Smalltalk User Group, is applying for this > >> year's Google Summer of Code.
