[Pharo-users] Process ID of VM

2013-08-20 Thread Torsten Bergmann
I just wrapped this in NB last week, so if you have NativeBoost and Windows you can use: NBWin32Process getCurrentProcessId (requires the latest packages from http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~Pharo/NativeBoost) I'm sure on any other platforms there are API's as well to get the PID, like getpid

Classes forming the tree structure (one class can have many subclasses). A class initialization usually done for initializing properties shared by class and all its subclasses, and sent automatically to tools like Monticello when it loads the code to each separate class. So, if we use 'super

Hi Tim, the problem is not the send of #super to a class, but the call of #initialize of #super on the class side. As long as you are not interested in very confusing details about the inheritence hierarchy of Class and Metaclasses and stuff, don't ask, just do as you're told ;-) You can,

Ok, I don't want to know :-) Just as a rule: don't call super initialize on the Class site ? But I can use (the message) initialize on the Class site (for initializing applications roots in seaside for example) but just do'nt use super in it. Correct? Thanks Tim Op 20-8-2013 11:45,

Ok, here's the mess we made ;-). We've confused you. But don't worry, you've just touched an area of Smalltalk where the boundaries between computation and magic get very blurry. You can implement the method initialze (just like any other method) on the instance or class side. For
