Hi,
Do I need to worry about closing a WriteStream? Currently I am
working
like this:
buildStatementFor: anObject
| statement |
statement := String new writeStream.
[
statement nextPutAll: 'bla bla bla'.
^ statement contents.
] ensure: statement close
... is that not needed?
Not for an in-memory write stream no.
Note you're missing the block brackets around [statement close].
Also, since this is such a common task, the shorter version is
buildStatementFor: anObject
^String streamContents: [:statement | statement nextPutAll: 'bla bla
bla']
Take a look at #streamContents: which does exactly the same as your
code, but you can never get it wrong again ;)
