Hello Moose lovers,

At the request of Stéphane Ducasse, I am sending this email to the Moose developers mailing list.

While working on the VisualWorks importer I stumble on three issues that I am describing shortly below.

  1. An endless loop occurs during an MSE export when an entity’s property is not set.
  2. It is very easy to create duplicate entities without noticing
  3. When entities are not correctly linked to the model, #allInstancesDo: is sent making the processing extremely slow.

Since it is not an easy task to precisely describe the corresponding symptoms, I prepared a package where those three issues can be reproduced using SUnit tests. The package is attached. Read carefully the comments that I inserted in each test, before running it.

Enjoy,

Michel
