Cannot be recompiled

Hi, 

(forwarded from pharo-users)

Object 

subclass: #A

instanceVariableNames: '' 

classVariableNames: ''

poolDictionaries: '' 

category: 'Unclassified'.

(Smalltalk at: #A) 

subclass: #B 

instanceVariableNames: '' 

classVariableNames: ''

poolDictionaries: '' 

category: 'Unclassified'.

Object 

variableSubclass: #A 

instanceVariableNames: '' 

classVariableNames: ''

poolDictionaries: '' 

category: 'Unclassified'.

I'm working in the "new class builder" [1]. It automatically propagates this format change to the subclasses, instead of raising the error like the current class builder does. ie, the class B becomes variable when A becomes variable.

Do you agree?

Cheers,

Martin

---> why do we raise the error "B cannot be recompiled"?

what's the problem with reformatting subclasses automatically?
