Programmer's Reference

Compiling

compiler

Note:
This message returns the compiler that is appropriate for a particular class. There might be more than one compiler supported by the system, and each class needs a way to find its own.
Porting tip:
Not supported by Smalltalk/V and Objectworks\Smalltalk, which both provide a similar message called compilerClass. Both Smalltalk/V and Objectworks\Smalltalk provide a set of compilation messages for classes, based loosely on the Blue Book. We have not included such messages in this release, because they intrude on source code management. The usual way to compile methods and add code to the database for developers using IBM Smalltalk is to use the facilities provided by IBM Smalltalk.
