Message-ID: <12146@boulder.Colorado.EDU> Date: 27 Sep 89 18:02:15 GMT Sender: news@boulder.Colorado.EDU Reply-To: chase@boulder.Colorado.EDU (Stumpy) Organization: University of Colorado, Boulder Lines: 15 A structured code browser that I have in mind is similar to the Smalltalk browser. For instance, when I invoke the class view within the IB, I am able to "see" a class hierarchy and the messages associated with each class. However, when I attempt to "get at the code" associated with a message (via a double-click on the message), nothing happens. In Smalltalk, when you select a message, the code is displayed and the programmer can modify the code there. I think it is a shame that ideas such as a structured code browser are not included within the NeXT environment. ParcPlace has a product for the C++ world which does include a structured code browser. Furthermore, I have heard that Stepstone does have a structured code browser for Objective-C. Where is it? And why wasn't it included in the IB?
