Excuse for my delay and for my english,
but i think MAAutoAccessor is very importan for " dinamic development ".
I have a "database of descriptions " for define the base data of my
application.
For example descriptions about the items article, the contability data
ecc... ecc.
I don't know at begin, where i use this descriptions, but during the " life
cicle of application" ( analisy, development, deployment, maintenance,
integration.... )
it's very important use the reference to the database of description
for define the "change".
After this consideration, i think the MAAutoSelectorAccessor is a good
solution for automatic instance varialble definition and accessor.
When i do a reference to one description based on autoAccessor, the
instanceVariable of the object is automatic update.
In Gemstone maybe this support will can increase to manage object
"compatibility" / "instance migration".
Ciao,
Dario
I think MAAutoAccessor is rarely useful, except when
you want to
quickly prototype an application and generate inst-vars and accessors
automatically. After the initial prototyping phase it is hardly useful
to check for accessors and inst-vars on every read and write access.
I removed it from the latest commit. If somebody really wants this
feature, it can be easily retrieved from the history and packaged
separately.
