Fix: inspecting the stack top only inspected its printString instead.

Hi Jakob,

such a fix should address the comment in the method which states why it was that way. :o)

You can do-it "ThisContext top inspect" to inspect the object on stack top.

Best,

Marcel

Hi Jakob,

thanks for having a look at this, I already noticed this bug, too. The problem is, however, as stated in the comment that we need the #printString representation here which we also see in a regular inspector field. I already had a discussion about this with Marcel before this was committed to the Trunk.

This is how an empty string in the stackTop looks in the Trunk:

But with your change, it will look like this:

<pastedImage.png>

And then there would be no chance to distinguish this from an actually empty stack:

<pastedImage.png>

The problem is that we are using #printValueAsIs here, without which it would look fine. However, if the stack is actually empty, we don't want to see "''" or "nil" but really nothing so we must use #printValueAsIs here.

I think we should add another block the InspectorFieldSpec and rewrite #fieldStackTop like this:

fieldStackTop

^ (self newFieldForType: #stackTop key: #stackTop)

    name: 'stack top' translated; emphasizeName;

    hasValue: [:object | object actualStackSize > 0];

    valueGetter: [:object | object top];

    expression: 'ThisContext top';

    yourself

I'm looking forward to your opinion :-)

Best,

Christoph

Is it out of the question to just not show the "stack top" field at all when there is no top of the stack to be shown?

+1

Unless we find a proper solution, I'd rather accept the oddity with empty strings than not ever being able to inspect what is on the top of the stack.
