dependencies

"

   ST/X dependencies are slightly modified from ST-80's 

   (we think they are better ;-).

   One problem occuring very often in ST-80 is that some object

   cannot be garbage collected because some dependency is present,

   having the object as a dependent of some other object.

   In ST-80, this association remains alive (because a Dictionary

   is used to hold dependents) - even if no other references exist to

   to dependent or the dependee.

   This means, that in ST-80, a #release is mandatory in order to

   prevent memory leaks.

   We think, that this is a bad solution, since after all, exactly that

   kind of work should be performed by a garbage collector - you should not

   need to care about dependencies.

   From a philosophical point of view, why should some object depend on 

   something that the programmer considers a dead object ?

   (well - worse than that: it seems that some ST-80 code even depends on

    that behavior)

   In order to limit the trouble, ST-80 reimplemented the way dependents

   are stored in the model class - this one keeps the dependents locally,

   so these dependents go away, once the model is reclaimed.

   That may make things even more confusing: with models, no #release is

   needed, with general objects it is mandatory.

   In ST/X, dependencies are implemented using a WeakDictionary; this means,

   that once the dependee dies, the dependency association is removed automatically,

   and the dependent can be reclaimed by the garbage collector, if no other

   references exist to the dependent.

   In order to (at least) provide a mechanism for the old behavior

   (in case your application heavily depends on the ST-80 mechanism), complementary

   protocol to add nonWeak dependencies is provided 

   (see #addNonWeakDependent / #removeNonWeakDependent).

   Caveat:

      since interests are implemented using InterestConverter (which are simply

      forwarding messages), these must use the nonWeak mechanism (as done in ST-80

      automatically).

      The reason is that there are usually no direct references to the converters,

      and those would be reclaimed if stored in a weakDictionary.

      This means, that those interests MUST be removed with #retractInterest

      (which is bug-compatible to ST-80). 

      We rewrite things to provide a more convenient mechanism in the future ...

   I like to hear comments on the above - do you think its better ?

   Object is the superclass of most other classes. 

   (except for nil-subclasses, which inherit nothing,

    to catch any message into their #doesNotUnderstand: method)

   Protocol which is common to every object is defined here.

   Also some utility stuff (like notify) and error handling is implemented here.

   Object has no instance variables (and may not get any added). One reason is, that

   UndefinedObject and SmallInteger are also inheriting from Object - these two cannot 

   have instance variables (due to their implementation). 

   The other reason is that the runtime system (VM) knows about the layout of some built-in 

   classes (think of Class, Method, Block and also Integer or Float). 

   If you were allowed to add instance variables to Object, the VM had to be recompiled 

   (and also rewritten in some places).

   [Class variables:]

        ErrorSignal     <Signal>        Signal raised for error/error: messages

                                        also, parent of all other signals.

        HaltSignal      <Signal>        Signal raised for halt/halt: messages

        AbortSignal      <Signal>       Signal raised by debugger, to abort a computation

                                        BUT, the debugger will only raise it if it is handled.

                                        By handling the abortSignal, you can control where the

                                        debuggers abort-function resumes execution in case of

                                        an error.

        ErrorRecursion   <Boolean>      controls behavior when recursive errors occur (i.e. 

                                        an error while handling an error).
