Accessing development environment information

Smalltalk User Guide : Packaging, unloading, and analyzing code : Introduction to packaging : Packaging guidelines : Accessing development environment information

Avoid the following methods, as they make references to information that is essentially provided only for the development environment:

• classPool

• instVarNames

• sharedPools

• Library management methods, such as controller, timestamp, and extended

If you attempt to access this information in a packaged image produced by a standard runtime instruction, the attempt will fail because this information is automatically excluded by that instruction.
