Hello, Actually slots are introduced so we can use them the next Pharo iteration (Pharo 4). It is difficult to use as it is, you need to change a bit the compiler so that it asks the class slots for field access byte code generation (a field being typically an instance variable) and you also need to improve the class builder in a way that you would have a class template where you can set specific slot for each field. Then you can subclass slots and use them.
So I'd say there's a few work to do to use them, but if someone do this work, it will be integrated for Pharo 4. Marcus, Camille, Martin, you know more than me about slots what do you think ? 2014-05-17 23:36 GMT+02:00 Johan Fabry <jfa...@dcc.uchile.cl>: > > +1 on the question actually, I think it may help with some hacky stuff > that I am doing right now for my research :-) > > On May 17, 2014, at 5:10 PM, webwarrior <r...@webwarrior.ws> wrote: > > > So Pharo 3 is out, slots are listed in changelog, but how to use them? > Any > > examples (those in paper don't work)? > > > > > > > > -- > > View this message in context: > http://forum.world.st/Slots-tp4679183p4759385.html > > Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > > > > > > > > ---> Save our in-boxes! http://emailcharter.org <--- > > Johan Fabry - http://pleiad.cl/~jfabry > PLEIAD lab - Computer Science Department (DCC) - University of Chile > > >
