Hi,
The latest image now has some more options for meta links. The complete list is
listed in the #defaultOptions method of
MetaLink class:
defaultOptions
^ #(
+ optionInlineMetaObject "meta object is inlined by default."
+ optionInlineCondtion "condition is inlined by default.”
(ups, typo, will fix)
- optionCompileOnLinkInstallation "generate compiledMethod on link
installation"
- optionOneShot "remove link after first activation"
- optionMetalevel "force level: 0 for the link"
- optionDisabledLink "links are active by default"
)
Some of the options make only sense because after this issue will be integrated:
https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/16695/allow-classes-to-force-meta-link-options-metaLinkOptions
<https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/16695/allow-classes-to-force-meta-link-options-metaLinkOptions>
we will have a mechanism that classes can enforce options for all links
installed in them. This is done by adding
a method on the instance or class side like this:
metaLinkOptions
^{
#exampleMethodWithMetaLinkOptionsViaClass -> #( +
optionCompileOnLinkInstallation)
}
This allows e.g. a class to turn off links for one method or enforce using
meta-level awareness.
(for now the options are overridden when installing a link, I will move this
into the code generator
to have a real overlay semantics as a next step).
