For people who don't know what this is about, look at http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=2788
Briefly, Dan Ingalls suggested that == should generally be replaced by =, and so someone did this, probably automatically. The changes went through a few iterations, but finally they got installed in 3.10. This caused a few failing tests, some of which got fixed, and produced some bugs that didn't show up in the tests. > My proposal is do the rest of updates without this, name image 3.10.1 and > warn people. Edgar, are you saying that you will take this change out of 3.10 and, once 3.10 is done, put it in as 3.10.1? I prefer Jerome's suggestion that the changes should be put in piecemeal, and with tests. Replacing == with = is only right 98% of the time, and putting bugs in the code and then taking them out is a lot more work than thinking about the changes you are going to make before you make them. Now, if the transformation were 99.9% accurate then it might be better just to go ahead, but there are too many cases where == is right and = is wrong. -Ralph _______________________________________________ V3dot10 mailing list [email protected] http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/v3dot10
