subclass of Behavior which in turn is a subclass of Object.
The class ClassDescription is the superclass of the classes Class and Metaclass.
The class has two instance variables
instanceVariables
organization
If you add another instance variables (this is needed for the To Traits Or Not To Traits code of Nathanael Schaerli) all the classes in the system are recompiled because they are subclasses of this class.
This works fine in Squeak version 3.2, but doesn't work in Squeak 3.4. There is an error when compiling the class ImageSegmentRootStub, among others. This is one of the ClassDescription; a fix (and associated SUnit tests) have been documented.
The notion of a name of this class (implemented as subclass
responsibility)
The maintenance of a ChangeSet, and logging changes on a file
Most of the mechanism for fileOut.
I am an abstract class, in particular, my facilities are intended for
inheritance by two subclasses, Class and Metaclass.
The slots 'organization' and 'methodDict' should ONLY be accessed by message in order for things to work during
ImageSegment>>discoverActiveClasses (q.v.).
