Hi,
Can someone perhaps explain what is meant by descriptions being dynamic in Magritte 3? I
see some references to this change on the web, but do not fully understand it. From what I
understand Magritte 2 used to cache them somewhere, and this is not done anymore. I'd
like to know where this caching used to be done and what is now different as a result in
Magritte 3.
In Magritte 2 descriptions are on the class side. So they are the same for every
instance of that class. If I remember correctly the MAPragmaBuilder built and cached the
descriptions for a class. In Magritte 3 the descriptions moved to instance side. This
enables the powers of having descriptions individually for a single instance but it makes
caching a task that is not possible. A single description can be different over time when
an instance changes state etc.
Hope this helps,
Norbert
