You might want to take a look at V8, this is *exactly* what they do for debugging. Two object spaces are running (aka images) and one of them accesses the other one through mirrors. Speaking of which, the mirror paper by Dave Ungar and Gilad Bracha is all about separating development capabilities (ie reflection) from the domain objects of your application. Mirrors unify all kinds of code manipulation in one API, if Pharo had mirrors you could use the code browser to manipulate code in the same as well as any other image. --AA _______________________________________________ Pharo-project mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project
