Hello,
Thank for your interest in RoelTyper.
The user interface of RoelTyper is the class TypeCollector.
To know the types of an instance variable of a class use the method "typeInstvar: var ofClass: aClass". For example:
TypeCollector typeInstvar: #x ofClass: Point
This returns an ExtractedType object that contains the collected information for #x about its assignments, interface (messages sent on it) and links with other variables. To calculate types from this information, send the message "types" on an ExtractedType object. For example:
(TypeCollector typeInstvar: #x ofClass: Point) types
returns an ordered collection with the class "Number".
You can also ask types of the temporary variables of methods. For example:
TypeCollector typeTmpsIn: (Point >> #>) ofClass: Point
returns an indentitydictionary with the extracted types for ^ (the type of the return value) and aPoint (the parameter of the method).
Cheers,
Fréd

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out how to use the RoelTyper in Pharo. When I go to the page: http://decomp.ulb.ac.be/roelwuyts/smalltalk/roeltyper/ it talks about the refactoring browser, but it's a Cincom browser. I see that you're the most recent editor of RoelTyper on SqueakSource, so I assume you have some idea how to use it.
Any assistance would be appreciated!
Thanks ../Dave
