Hello all,
I was wondering what actually the inspector does in the following case:
When you explore (or inspect) the expression: Class environment
you get all classes in the system dictionary. If you navigate inside a class,
for example AColorSelectorMorph, you can see all its properties and one of them
is environment, if you go inside it, you get again all classes in the system
dictionary. So, you can repeat this infinitely (or until you get run out of
memory, I guess)
Is it the behavior of a lazy inspector? If true, why I cannot inspect a
mutually-recursive class definition, like this:
Object subclass: #Foo
instanceVariableNames: 'bar'
classVariableNames: ''
poolDictionaries: ''
category: ''
Foo>>initialize
bar:= Bar new
Object subclass: #Bar
instanceVariableNames: 'foo'
classVariableNames: ''
poolDictionaries: ''
category: ''
Foo>>initialize
bar:= Foo new
Thanks in advance.
P.S.: How can I stop my execution in the pharo image when it is in a infinite
loop? I can't remember what the shortcut was.
