Can you provide a simple way to reproduce this?
Centos 5.2 64 bit gst 3.1.
There are issues with the inspect method and the class method. I'll send
you screenshots off-list for the "inspect" method issue. Essentially it
brings up a blank gst-blox window whether inspect is called from
interpreter or from a script. The terminal windows has to be closed to
remove the blank Inspect window.
Secondly the class method issue.
First of all, check with the interpreter and it is fine
$ gst
GNU Smalltalk ready
st> j := 3.
3
st> j class.
SmallInteger
st>
And now running a script...
$ cat displayclass.st
j := 3.
Transcript showCr: 'before'.
Transcript showCr: j class.
Transcript showCr: 'after'.
$ gst displayclass.st
before
Object: SmallIntegerObject: SmallIntegerObject: Semaphore new
"<0x2b69f6c7bd40>"Object: Semaphore new "<0x2b69f6c7bd40>"Object:
Semaphore new "<0x2b69f6c7bd40>"Object: Semaphore new "<0x2b69f6c7bd40>"
Note: the script hangs after printing 'Object: SmallInteger', so then I
push <ctrl><C>, at which point it prints 'Object: SmallInteger' again.
From then on pressing <Ctrl><C> prints out ...Object: Semaphore new
"<0x2b69f6c7bd40>" . The terminal window has to be closed.
Note: It seems that these issues only occur on a Centos system with a
working X Windows and gst-blox. If the system doesn't have X Windows and
working gst-blox, then the 'class' and the 'inspect' method work.
