[squeak-dev] Find all users of a global variable

Is there an easy way to find all methods that reference a global
variable? In particular, I'd like to use this to find (for example)
all methods that create instances of a certain class...

thanks,
Niko

Hi niko, the easiest way to find all methods where instances create is the Finder Tool, that tool are in World>>Open Menu>> Code Finder.

This not is very performance but work. This tool have a simple and powerful syntax...you can find a complete explanation in the same tool.

Regards.

Actually, the easiest and fastest way is to select the Class (or any
global) and press Cmd-Shift-N (Alt-Shift-N on PCs). This is also in
the Browser - select the class, bring up the menu, choose "class refs
(N)". The uppercase N describes the shifted short cut.
