For playing with this, in 479:
InstanceVariableSlot subclass: #AccessorSlot
slots: { }
classVariables: { }
category: ‘Package'
two methods, #installingIn and #removingFrom:, which are called by the class
builder:
installingIn: aClass
| reader writer |
reader := String streamContents: [ :str |
str
nextPutAll: self name;
cr;tab;
nextPutAll: ' ^';
nextPutAll: self name.
].
writer := String streamContents: [ :str |
str
nextPutAll: self name;
nextPutAll: ': anObject';
cr;tab;
nextPutAll: self name;
nextPutAll: ':= anObject.'.
].
aClass compile: reader classified: 'accessing'.
aClass compile: writer classified: 'accessing’.
removingFrom: aClass
aClass removeSelector: self name.
aClass removeSelector: self name asMutator.
Now we can make a class and see how the accessors are automatically added (and
removed when the slot is removed):
Object subclass: #TT
slots: { #tttt => AccessorSlot }
classVariables: { }
category: ‘Package'
NOTE: this is an example of what can be done with Slots. It is *not* an example
of what *should* be done with Slots.
(this we only will know after using them for a while).
