smalltalk - How is "self class" used? / How to query the Pharo image? -

There are two main reasons to say "self class": either to perform user-space things such as static methods To apply, to obtain new items or constants or reflect on someone's own self, I want to know how many of them each time.

What is the best way to check an existing loaded pharaoh code base? Is there any built-in tool,

Opening a browser, going to objects, selecting #class and Hit "sender" will show you all the #Senders in the class. It is not very good to answer "how many times they are".

With the way to make the same call sites more efficient, the collection of senders with the object all the call-in: #class , maybe to call some numbers to find out?

Or use the refactoring browser: To search based on AST structure, there are things like Finder Tool.

EDIT: Sometimes the sender will not work because of special messages or inline messages in the form of math points, there is an interesting point in the vm-dev list.
