I am not a part of the normal Smalltalk kernel class system. I provide the
ability to do late ("on-demand") loading of class definitions. Through me,
you can define any class to be loaded when any message is sent to
the class itself (such as to create an instance) or to its metaclass (such
as #methodsFor: to extend it with class-side methods).
Make Smalltalk automatically load the class named nameSymbol
and residing in aNamespace from fileNameString when needed
class: nameSymbol in: aNamespace loader: anObject
Make Smalltalk automatically load the class named nameSymbol
and residing in aNamespace. When the class is needed, anObject
will be sent #autoload. By default, instances of FilePath and
Package can be used.
class: nameSymbol loader: anObject
Make Smalltalk automatically load the class named nameSymbol.
When the class is needed, anObject will be sent #autoload.
By default, instances of FilePath and Package can be used.
1.6.2 Autoload: accessing
class
We need it to access the metaclass instance, because that's what
will load the file.
doesNotUnderstand: aMessage
Load the class and resend the message to it
