I'm looking at Lukas's Scriptaculous in Seaside 2.6. He has overwritten
#printOn:. A chain of decorations is passed through and at each stage
the resulting string is stored in self. This means the usual process of
self containing "a SomeObject" instance has been supplanted.
This is common. If I print:
'bob' 'bob'
A string has been stored in self. I do not get:
'bob' a ByteString
In a walkback I can see ParagraphEditor>>printIt goes to
Object>>printStringLimitedTo:. And then a LimitedWriteStream becomes
aStream, which is filled with things that somehow go into the pseudo
variable self. Hypothetically, like this:
self setter: aStream
I imagine the process is somewhere in the march from
ParagraphEditor>>printIt to SUObject new.
Where is the setter for self? How is this stream populating this pseudo
variable?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris
