In squeak you can find out all references to a variable of a class
by clicking on the vars button. Is there a way to find only the references to a variable of a class that assigns a value to that variable?

Hi Ralph,
You should be able to trace that using references. If you used a mutator just do senders of the mutator. so ivar foo might have an accessor MyClass >> foo "return the value of foo" ^foo and a mutator MyClass >> foo: aFoo "set the value of foo to aFoo" foo := aFoo if you only used the mutator to set the value of foo then senders of foo: will give you what you are looking for. if no use references. By the way, if you did things this way references will show your accessor and mutator, which is why I said you should be able to trace it (by doing senders of what is returned by references.

Instance variables are also objects, as are classes. When inspecting an object, you can right click on self or any instance variable and select "methods storing into this inst var". HTH ..

Based on this advice I went exploring the debugger to figure out what code was executed when this menu selection was made. I eventually figured out that when the method <browseVariableAssignments> (implemented by several classes) is invoked a list of variables is presented to the user to choose from and for the selected variable a list of methods assigning to that variable is presented. i.e. what I wanted. Among the senders of this method are the debugger, inspector, and browsers. To send this method bring up the (correct) menu in, for example a browser, and select: 'assignments... (a)'. Going forward this knowledge will be a great help. Might be nice if right clicking on the 'Vars' button also did this but I have 99.9 percent of what I wanted to I'm happy.
