Sig, How hard it is or isn't is not nearly as important as your tackling it and doing so with the right tools. So again I say, carry on :)
On self vs. executor as the receiver of #handleFinalizationError:, I might lean toward "self" as it will be closer to the system. There is probably little the executor can do, and it either missed or raised the error in the first place, right? I *think* the most you are going to to do is log that something went wrong, but I could be missing something. #ensure: attempts to evaluate the argument block whenever the receiver of it is completed (modulo some ominous sounding questions raised in the past months to a year??). #ifCurtailed: should be similar, but evaluating the argument/block only on abnormal (including, I think, ^) exit of the block. Does that help at all?

Carry on :) > Oh, please. This is not too hard to code. My mind rolling around following choice(s) (there may be others i don't see). What would be a proper way to handle error during #finalize. [ executor finalize ] on: Error do: [:ex | self handleFinalizationError: ex "where self is registry" ]. or: [ executor finalize ] on: Error do: [:ex | executor handleFinalizationError: ex ]. of course, i should catch this error in test, so i can verify that: a) test is get notified upon synthetically made error b) no matter what i do inside error handler (up to 'Processor activeProcess terminate'), a finalization process continues working (or restarts without losing remainder of executors). Also, i used #ensure: and #ifCurtailed: but i tend to forget where they are applicable and how. So, little help in this regard will be wellcome. > Bill > -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko AKA sig. _______________________________________________ Pharo-project mailing list Pharo-project@lists.gforge.inria.fr http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project _______________________________________________ Pharo-project mailing list Pharo-project@lists.gforge.inria.fr http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project
