Hans,
You are right -- NO memory is allocated for the prototype.
You must assign to the prototype in order to avoid a very dangerous
situation. In Pepsi as an example:
FreeCell : Object (board cardsRemainingDisplay gameNumberDisplay state)
[FreeCell := FreeCell new]
Note the second line that assigns to the FreeCell prototype again.
Once you have done this, the prototype has memory and everything is
OK.
I am lobbying Ian hard to do this automatically. There is no reason
to leave this giant trap waiting for every programmer to fall into it.
My goal is, "Yes, you can crash the program, but you must do
something really stupid to make it happen."
