Look at slides 6-21 of Waldemar's PowerPoint talk on "JavaScript 2.0" [most
of which is on the topic of selector namespaces].
http://ll1.mit.edu/horwat.ppt. Waldemar Horwat [waldemar@netscape.com] has
been working on the design of JavaScript 2.0 for Netscape.
I will also endeavor to provide a concise SmallScript [www.smallscript.org]
example (replicating Waldemar's slide example):
NOTE: Code snippets are presented in chronological development order.
----------------------------------------------
Module/package with a component <Foo> v1.0.0.0
----------------------------------------------
Module name: BitTracker version: 1.0.0.0.
Class name: Data
fields: author, contents
{
Method [
save
...
]
}
------------------------------
3rd party (or web page script):
------------------------------
Requires module: BitTracker. "version constraints elided"
Class name: Picture extends: BitTracker.Data
fields: palette
{
Method [
size
...
]
}
Function [
orientation
^(d.size.h >= d.size.v)
?: 'Landscape' : 'Portrait'.
]
----------------------------------------------
Module/package with a component <Foo> v2.0.0.0
----------------------------------------------
Module name: BitTracker
version: 2.0. "extra 0's not required"
Class name: Data
fields: author, contents
{
Method [
save
...
]
Method [
size
...
]
}
Function [
store(d)
if (d.size > limit)
storeOnSlowDisk(d).
else
storeOnFastDisk(d).
]
====
At this point we clearly have a problem. Waldemar's slides present
discussion of the general issues and non-solutions so I will not repeat them
here. The problem is that #size is defined in the subclass <Picture>, but it
is also defined in v1.1 of <Data>. Those definitions are clearly unrelated.
The <Picture> version appears to return an <extent> of some form, whereas
the <Data> version appears to return a <data> size in some units such as
bytes. We can also assume, as with many component systems, that the 3rd
party could not anticipate this conflict and vice-versa. This is typically
characterized as 3rd party late integration (or just-in-time-integration).
We can also assume that that the #save method in <Data> will invoke the
#store method in the <BitTracker> module. Next we can assume that someone
allocates a <Picture> objects and at some point that <Picture> instance is
sent the message #save. We can also assume that the inherited <Data> #save
method will eventually invoke the <BitTracker> function #store. We can see
that the #store function expects to invoke the <Data> variant of #size and
will, hopefully, cause a runtime exception when it gets an <extent> rather
than <aSizeInBytes> (for use in the expression "d.size > limit".
====
What we would like is some mechanism to ensure that the two different
versions of #size remain independent. Selector namespaces directly solve
this issue.
In SmallScript (I can't speak with certainty about JavaScript 2.0), message
selectors are instances of <Symbol/MessageSelector>. As such they have both:
a string-name, and a namespace-scope. Classes are namespaces in SmallScript
[and we all know everything is an object in Smalltalk/SmallScript]. So,
whenever you send a message the default-scope for the selector is the
method-dictionary (class) in which the method was defined [this isn't
strictly what happens in the SmallScript implementation because there are
other binding predicate factors, but it is sufficient for this
presentation].
Therefore, we can observe that the "d.size" issued from the #store(<>)
function in <BitTracker> will issue all its messages (by default) with
selectors whose scopes are set to the <BitTracker> namespace.
I.e., #size will actually be #BitTracker.size
We can also observe that the <Picture> class is (in my example) defined in
the default-namespace for a script. Which is effectively an anonymous
namespace. So the #orientation method will issue #DefaultProject.size or
some equivalent anonymous name.
---
Now the question becomes, how do we make use of this fact? Depending on our
design goals, there are a number of "well-factored" solutions available.
But we need to know about one more feature; scoped methods. Messages bound
to calling context namespaces is really only half the story. The other half
is to recognize that method objects themselves are also identified by
selectors. Which is how the runtime/compile-time machinery maps messages to
methods.
In SmallScript, methods can actually have up to two names (although they
have to have the same arity -- arg-count). The option for an alternate name
is to facilitate cross-language interop between Smalltalk keyword selector
and the common imperative/parenthetical name() form we see in almost every
other language [especially important for using the SmallScript for .NET
option]. But that is a whole other topic which would also involve discussion
of SmallScript's selector aliasing facilities.
It also worth noting that namespaces in SmallScript support both lexical
(nested) inheritance, and explicit import inheritance yielding namespaces
with MI characteristics. The same parallel is true for classes and mixing in
[implementations contained in] interfaces in SmallScript Implied here is
that there must be a deterministic order for MI (namespace ordering [which
is distinct from} behavior/type ordering). Finally, I'll add that
<Interface> is just a subclass of <Mixin> which is a subclass of <Object>.
And, since classes are namespaces, interfaces are namespaces. So you can
scope to an interface or any other class. When combined with safe/tainted
method/class attributes we get sandboxes in SmallScript. It is also where
the concept of dynamic runtime enforcement of family/private methods starts
to happen [with a little subtle but transparent magic involving the use of
metaclasses -- and optionally even more rigorously privatized with the
non-inheritable method attribute].
"" Which can be declared as
Method scope: private [...]
When a method is compiled, its selector is always given a default scope of
the outermost (global) namespace. This can be modified based on attribute
settings in the surrounding context in which it was declared [such as
declaring some other default-scope for its enclosing module, class, etc].
If a method's selector has a global scope, then any message selector with
the same name can bind to that method (regardless of the calling selector's
scope). But, if the method's selector is not globally scoped, then we say
that the method is "scoped" to the namespace of its selector. Which is where
the term "selector namespaces" really comes into play. In this latter case,
the method can only be invoked (will only bind) if the calling message's
selector's namespace has access to the implemented method's selector's
namespace.
Furthermore, this is performed on a best fit basis; which means that if
there are multiple (method) implementations available the best fitting
implementation will be chosen based on all the binding predicates [selector
namespace fit being just one predicate]. In classic Smalltalk the only
predicates are the selector-name and the message receiver-class. SmallScript
offers many other predicates and provides an extensible predicate mechanism
as part of its AOP/MOP/Managed-Object facilities.
---
So, armed with that knowledge we can revise the code examples slightly and
fix the problem for almost any scenario. In this case I will exactly follow
Waldemar's example for consistency with the JavaScript 2.0 slides [otherwise
I would probably have written a different solution].
----------------------------------------------
Module/package with a component <Foo> 2.0
----------------------------------------------
Module name: BitTracker
imports: v2
version: 2.0. "extra 0's not required"
Namespace name: v2.
Class name: Data
fields: author, contents
{
Method [
save
...
]
Method scope: v2 [
size
...
]
}
Function [
store(d)
if (d.size > limit)
storeOnSlowDisk(d).
else
storeOnFastDisk(d).
]
====
With this revised version we have scoped the <Data> version of #size to only
be invocable from callsites that have access to the <v2> namespace. Which,
the <BitTracker> function #store(<>) has via the "import:" attribute on the
<BitTracker> class. So unless a client explicitly references the <v2>
namespace they will not conflict with the #size method. My reason for saying
I would have written it differently is that the <v2> namespace is not
particularly unique or protected either. But that would be a different
presentation of issues and so we will stop here with a SmallScript solution
that is parallel to Waldemar's JavaScript 2.0 slides.

(especially in light of optional typing, mult-methods, around-before-after
methods, sandboxing, etc) then sign up for the SmallScript Technology
