Squeakers,
One stupid question regarding Compiler>>evaluate:in:to:notifying:ifFail:.
I want to evaluate a string and take some special action in case of compilation error. For example, imagine I want to bombically destroy the user's computer if he enters a syntactically wrong Smalltalk expression and tries to DoIt. For that case, I implement class Bomb with Bomb>>explode, and
Bomb>>notify: string at: index in: stream
self explode
Then I say:
| stream | stream _ ReadWriteStream on: string from: 1 to: string size. Compiler new evaluate: stream in: nil to: nil notifying: bombInTheCorner ifFail: [].
Although the comments in Compiler don't say anything about this, in fact the bomb receives many other messages which it does not understand as if it were a ParagraphEditor (even if the expression is perfectly ok) =:^$. Any simple solution?
