privateDirectoryContents

'c:\\System Volume Information' asFilename privateDirectoryContents

in VW 7.4 on Windows XP Professional

the above statement returns "true" which does not make sense to me. Can  
somebody pls experiment to see if this is occuring in another world but  
mine?

thanks in advance,

maybe I should move to 7.4.1 although that socket issue that made the vm  
"run hot" as posted by Martin kinda freaked me out i.e. where Bruce  
pointed out that it was not just a connection to Postgres thing.

Anyhow, as I have related to Dave in my reply to him the error/issue  
occurs here:


ObjectMemory class >>>
initializeErrorActions
        "Initialize the default action for failed object allocations."

        SystemError
                errorNamed: #'allocation failed'
                action:
                        [:err :arg|
                        | bytes spaceType |
                        "grow by at least 100k bytes"
                        bytes := 100000.
                        err parameter == nil ifFalse:
                                [bytes := bytes max: err parameter].
                        "arg may be name of space to grow or may be requestor.
                         Compute space type appropriately, defaulting to OldSpace."
                        spaceType := (#oldSpace == arg
                                                or: [#fixedSpace == arg
                                                or: [#largeSpace == arg]])
                                                        ifTrue: [arg]
                                                        ifFalse: [#oldSpace].
                        ObjectMemory makeSpaceFor: bytes ofType: spaceType.
                        true]

-------------------------------

the issue is in the evaluation of the action block which occurs here:

SystemError>>>
handleErrorFor: contextInformation

        | errorBlock |
        errorBlock := ErrorActions at: name ifAbsent: [nil].
        ^errorBlock == nil
                ifTrue: [nil]
                ifFalse: [errorBlock value: self value: contextInformation]

-----------------

doing a "debug it" on the statement previously provided will walk one into  
all of this.

thanks

-Charles
