shutDown: already provides a boolean indicating whether a quit is about to occur or not. I suppose any code is welcome not to cleanUp properly if it's not a quitting situation..
What feels wrong to me would be to save "garbage" (what will be unusable sockets, etc.) into the saved image. > occurance would clobber all sockets, all web users, all database > connections, Which is why first-class connections / sockets should be used, which don't depend on their underlying physical socket to be always connected. This is what Magma does. A socket can get disconnected at any time for a variety of reasons, not just an image save/shutdown. I think the software should, transparently to the user, reestablish connections lazily, making saving the image a non-issue. - Chris _______________________________________________ Pharo-project mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project
