addCompiledMethod:, deleteAllSelectors:,
deleteSelector:,
deleteSelector:ifAbsent:
- Note:
- The Blue Book messages addSelector:withMethod: and
removeSelector: are integrated with source code management
systems on most platforms. Changing the semantics of these messages to
remove this dependency would have broken too much existing code. We
decided instead to add new messages that are neutral regarding source code
management; that is, they are intended to exist outside the source code
management system.
- Porting tip:
- Neither Smalltalk/V nor Objectworks\Smalltalk supports these
messages.
- Tip:
- Using addCompiledMethod:, deleteAllSelectors:,
deleteSelector:, or
deleteSelector:ifAbsent: might make the image
inconsistent with the source code management system. These methods
should only be sent by experienced developers who are certain of the
outcome. Objectworks\Smalltalk support these
messages.
