Can anyone explain to me why this works fine: ((WriteStream on: (Array new)) nextPut: #foo) contents.
but this doesn't? ((WriteStream on: (OrderedCollection new)) nextPut: #foo) contents. The debugger shows that WriteStream>>nextPut: invokes WriteStream>>pastEndPut: which invokes at:put: on the collection. This is ok for an array, but not for an OrderedCollection, as OrderedCollection>>at:put: explicitly states it cannot be used to append stuff to the end of the collection. Is it a bug in WriteStream that it sends at:put:, or does it just not make sense to have a WriteStream on an Ordered Collection? (This is related to the split and join methods -- because of this limitation, an OrderedCollection cannot be used as a joiner, it seems.) - on _______________________________________________ Pharo-project mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project
