Summary

0001478: [BUG] WeakArray and storeString

Description

"Pavel Krivanek" <squeak1@continentalbrno.cz>:

In this case, it should result in something like 'WeakArray new'. Like it
is now, using Object>>readFrom: on the string will result in an Array, instead
of WeakArray.

Additional Information

Tested on 3.8-6665.

Notes
(0006262 - 497 - 545 - 545 - 545 - 545 - 545) nicolas cellier 07-29-06 02:37	Anyway, using storeString with a WeakArray has not much sense: storeString would not preserve objects identity: code generated would create copies of shared objects when readFrom: Thus, the resulting WeakArray (if class preserved) would loose all its contents at next garbage collection. storeString really is a message for simple objects tree. Avoid using on complex object graphs. See package ProgramRebuilder at VW cincom public store for getting a refactoring idea of storeString.
