Greetings.
I worked through the example in the "Meta-Classes" section of the XOTcl tutorial. The result is the same whether myMetaClass is a metaclass or not. If you define it
Class myMetaClass
rather than
Class myMetaClass -superclass Class
then
Agent info superclass
gives the same result.
I understand, in theory, that one wants to derive a class from some "more basic" entity, but so far it seems to me that I can achieve everything I want to achieve by starting with a class, not a metaclass, and modifying it.
Is there an example where being a metaclass results in different output?
Regards,
Rick
