undeclaredSoftLink question

Hi list,
I guess this is the kind of things that I've seen before but
never pay attention to, so excuse me if this is a newbie one. I've been
cleaning up a set of packages (improving code, refactoring, etc) and
when I load the last version in a clean image I get the following in the
Transcript:

(UndefinedObject #DoIt - undeclaredSoftLink)

I have no clues regarding what it may be and so far google hasn't been
very helpful. Any hints?

Thanks in advance,
Andrés

Well, the message is not very helpful because where it prints a '-' it
should have printed the name of a global (class,namespace,shared).

If you patch ByteCodeStream as follows:

undeclaredSoftLink: bindingRef from: node

^requestor undeclaredSoftLink: bindingRef displayString in: node
from: self

The name will appear in the transcript instead of the '-'.

Caveat: this patch is not compatible with all the tools. (But we have it
loaded in all our dev images anyway here at Soops).

HTH,

Reinout

Hi Reinout,
thanks for the patch! Now I'm getting an idea where does the
problem come from.

thanks again,
Andrés
