'SRE (Squeak Reverse Engineering)
SRE (Squeak Reverse Engineering) is a set of three tools making Squeak objects visible and tangible:
1) SRE collaboration lets me build a diagram of system objects with the links between them. With this tool, I find that I can master larger systems than I could before.
2) SRE Object Browser gives me a full description of an object with its identity, state, and behavior. I can edit its state as in an Inspector and its behavior as in a class Browser. The
class hierarchy is flattened so that I see the object as a whole.
3) Object>>traceRM: reportObject
Object >>traceRM: reportObject levels: levCount
and other methods in the *BabySRE-traceStack category write debug trace in Transcript with info about levCount number of stack entries from its top.
Taken together, these tools put me in closer contact with the real objects of the image, they
give me better understanding of existing systems and better contol over new ones. It also helps that objects now present themselves by [oop] so that I know the identity of the objects I am dealing with.
Installation: Load latest version from SqueakMap.
To reproduce my demo example, run
DemoEllipseSRE new openInWorld.
and observe the ellipse with cycling colors appear in the top left corner.
then select it and left-click with ALT-button (Windows) down to open halo. Open debug menu in the white button on the right hand edge. Choose ''SRE collaboration'' to open a collaboration diagram on the morph.
Choose ''SRE object browser'' to open an object browser on the morph.
