autocategorizing

How does autocategorizing decides what to put where?

For example I have (on class-side) three methods

#example

#example2

#exampleClusters

after autocategorizing they end up being

#example in 'example' protocol

#example2 in 'examples' protocol

#exampleClusters in 'as yet unclassified' protocol

That seems really odd, shouldn't all of them be in the same protocol?

Also is 'example' or 'examples' the normative protocol?

Thanks,

Peter

Depends on superclass, your use of pragmas (and extension methods):

MethodClassifier>>classify:
(self classifyAccessor: aMethod)
ifTrue: [ ^ aMethod category ].
(self classifyInSuperclassProtocol: aMethod)
ifTrue: [ ^ aMethod category ].

(self classifyByKnownPrefix: aMethod)
ifTrue: [ ^ aMethod category ].
(self classifyByOtherImplementors: aMethod)
ifTrue: [ ^ aMethod category ].
(self classifyByKnownPragma: aMethod)
ifTrue: [ ^ aMethod category ].

at: 'example' put: 'examples'.

'example' is currently not in the list of known prefixes.
