a link should also have some state :)
StackLink is ok for that.

While running TestRunner, i noticed this:

LinkedListTest>>testTAdd does an infinite loop.

This is because:
 self collection first == self element

since the test does:
self collection add: self element

this results in:
self collection firstLink next next == firstLink

and consequently any loop will loop infinitely...

It seems to me that this is bug of damien P. so he will probably fix that.

My base image is not well equipped with a Trait-aware Browser, so i let this one to Trait experts.


Anyway, I find LinkedList is NOT a generic Collection but rather a single not reusable hack for Process. This is regularly bugging newcomers, and I would recommend an evolution toward something like http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/beginners/2008-July/004835.html

That is, Link should be a transparent-implementation-defined- intermediate not visible via standard add:/remove:/do: messages.
User should not have to provide a Link, but only the value.
Only LinkedList specialized messages like addLink: removeLink: linksDo: should deal with user provided Link for more advanced features.

Think of Dictionary and Association. A user can use Dictionary with: at: / at:put: without knowing about Association.
