Class hierarchy problem

Gérard Bunel
Hi James,

palying around redline I tried the following code:

| cls |
cls := Class.
[cls == nil]
  whileFalse:
    [
      Transcript cr; show: cls.
      cls := cls superclass.
    ]

This code fails as follow:


Class
ClassDescription
Behavior
Object
ProtoObjectException in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at st.redline.core.PrimObject.perform0(PrimObject.java:774)
at st.redline.core.PrimObject.perform0(PrimObject.java:760)
at st.redline.core.PrimObject.perform(PrimObject.java:716)

while, using Pharo, it produces the following output:

Class
ClassDescription
Behavior
Object
ProtoObject

I looked at Bootstrapper As I suspected a maybe not Nil superclass on ProtoObject. But I see that:

        PrimObjectMetaclass protoObjectClass = protoObjectMetaclass.basicCreate("ProtoObject", PrimObject.PRIM_NIL, "", "", "", "");

Which seems correct to me. So, I don't understand!!

Any advice ?

Gérard

Re: Class hierarchy problem

I suspect the problem is because Nil hasn't got a superclass set.
Ill look into it

Hi James,

Could you explain the differences between PrimObject.NIL and PrimObject.PRIM_NIL.
What's the purpose of PRIM_NIL?

Nil is the object and prim_nil is the primitive - during bootstrap prim_nil is used and after nil
