0006353: PositionnableStream>>skip: not standard

Notes
(0010458 - 672 - 768 - 768 - 768 - 768 - 768) nicolas cellier 03-21-07 14:31	VW7.3.1 error Dolphin6 error STX 5.2.8 error vast 6.0.3 error gst 2.2 position: => error; skip: => ANSI strongtalk 1.1: no error, but position pointer is out of bound and stream is not usable NOTE: Dolphin6 is aware of non-ANSI-ness (written in comments) Several solutions: - keep current behaviour - switch to ANSI behaviour - raise a notification rather than an error : while this still give a chance to trap, default handler for unhandled would be to implement ANSI... - dual selectors skip: skipANSI:, or skip:, skipNonANSI: - add an ANSI-compatibility package off the kernel image - make a programmable preference and handle the error according to it

We just need to choose and explain in the comment. > - dual selectors skip: skipANSI:, or skip:, skipNonANSI: >- add an ANSI-compatibility package off the kernel image Don't like that because the aim is not to follow ANSI but be coherent and intelligent. I would prefer a #skip:ifFail: > - make a programmable preference and handle the error according to it This is your worst choice :-) I don't want code that behaves differently based on a preference.
