[Moose-dev] significant Moose-Core internal changes

Hi, I would like to signal that Diego and Stephan worked on some internal changes to Moose-Core that can have impact on other code. So, here is a little review to start the discussion: - mooseName is now cached. This can have an impact if you rely on your model to be more dynamic. If you have a custom entity that can receive sub-entities at runtime, you might want to resetMooseName. For example, if you modify the scope of a FAMIXType, the mooseName has to be reset: FAMIXType>>container: aContainerEntity container := FMMultivalueLink on: self update: #types from: self container to: aContainerEntity. *self resetMooseName* This is supposed to be an optimization, but it makes the code more complicated. To see if it is actually worth it, we should benchmark the impact. @Diego, @Stephan: Did you do some benchmarking on this? - An entity now answers if it hasUniqueMooseNameInModel. This is at the moment used when caching the entity by name in groups. For example, Associations do not have a unique name and thus, they are not cached. - There are some parts of the code I do not understand. For example, the need of this code: MooseGroupStorage>>becomeKind: elementStorageClass ... *self do: [ :each | each hasUniqueMooseNameInModel ifTrue: [ each privateClearMooseName ] ].* ... Did I miss anything? Cheers, Doru -- www.tudorgirba.com "Every thing has its own flow"
