[Pharo-dev] WeakValueDictionary: shouldn't be "absent" after GC?

[Martin Dias]

Hi. The answer of:

| dictionary |
dictionary := WeakValueDictionary with: 'hello' -> 'world' copy.
Smalltalk garbageCollect.
{
dictionary values includes: nil.
dictionary at: 'hello'.
dictionary at: 'hello' ifAbsent: [ 'absent' ].
dictionary at: 'hello' ifAbsentPut: [ 'put' ].
}

is:

#(true nil nil nil)


Bug or feature? shouldn't the value be considered as absent instead of
present (and nil).

cheers,
Martín
