FogBugz (Case [Issue]10917) Kernel - Add method for creating anonymous classes

A FogBugz case was opened by Martin Dias.

Case ID:      10917
Title:        Add method for creating anonymous classes
Status:       Working On
Category:     Feature
Project:      Kernel
Area:         Misc
Priority:     3 - Must Fix
Milestone:    Pharo3.0: 30/03/2014
Assigned To:  Martin Dias

I am looking forward to remove direct references to ClassBuilder. As part of such task, I asked Igor about fixing these methods in NB, and he wants to add #anonymousSubclassOf: in class builder. I would add it in current ClassBuilder and also in Slot's one.

NBExternalArray>>
anonymousSubclassInitElementType: aTypeName
"create and initialize the anonymous subclass of me"

| newSubclass |
newSubclass := ClassBuilder new
newSubclassOf: NBExternalArray
type: NBExternalArray typeOfClass
instanceVariables: ''
from: nil. "we're not using 'self' to avoid wrong subclassing from anonymous subclass "
newSubclass initElementType: aTypeName.
^ newSubclass

and

NBExternalTypeValue class>>
getClassForType: aTypeName
"Do not confuse.! This method answers an anonymous class,  a subclass of NBExternalTypeValue,
which can be used for instantiation later i.e:

floatTypeClass := NBExternalTypeValue ofType: 'float'.

float  := floatTypeClass new.
float value: 1.5.
float value.

"

| newSubclass |
newSubclass := ClassBuilder new
newSubclassOf: NBExternalTypeValue
type: NBExternalTypeValue typeOfClass
instanceVariables: ''
from: nil. "we're not using 'self' to avoid wrong subclassing from anonymous subclass "
newSubclass valueType: aTypeName.
^ newSubclass
