Hello Mathieu, MS> It's at compiled time no message is send. MS> -15 is a token MS> http://blog.3plus4.org/2007/05/06/whats-a-binary-selector/
the original question was MS> | a b| MS> a := 14. MS> b := - a. MS> b inspect I believe - a is not parsed as a token here. Up to now I believed that the Smalltalk compiler does not look at previous statements to compile a given statement. Am I wrong here? (no cs background, it's a real question).
