Anyway...I think this is a nice area to explore. There are many uses for a nice traverser. Also, did you see we wrote a Rossal extension to print the fuel traversal? http://rmod.lille.inria.fr/web/pier/software/Fuel/Version1.9/Documentation/Debugging The code is available in the Moose image as part of the MooseAlgos > subproject, but can also be loaded separately in a Pharo image via: > > Gofer new > url: 'http://www.smalltalkhub.com/mc/Moose/DeepTraverser/main'; > package: ‘ConfigurationOfDeepTraverser’; > load. > (Smalltalk globals at: #ConfigurationOfDeepTraverser) loadDevelopment. > > > Just to give you an idea, here are some representative examples: > > Number > deep: #subclasses > do: [:each | Transcript show: each; cr]. > > Number deepCollect: #subclasses. > > Number > deep: #subclasses > collect: #name. > > Number > deep: #subclasses > do: [:each | Transcript show: each; cr] > relationDo: [ :from :to | Transcript show: from; show: ' <-- '; show: > to; cr ]. > > > > More details about the usages and a little description of the > implementation can be found here: > http://www.humane-assessment.com/blog/traversal-enabled-pharo-objects/ > > > Cheers, > Doru > > > > -- > www.tudorgirba.com > > "Every thing has its own flow" > -- Mariano http://marianopeck.wordpress.com
