[Cuis-dev] ProgressInitiationException sendNotificationsTo: will bypass all inner blocks

[Nicolas Cellier]

Hi all,
If you execute (ProgressInitiationException testWith), you'll see that
a debugger opens due to ZeroDivide exception at step 5.

If you execute (ProgressInitiationException testWithout), that is
without catching the ProgressInitiationException , you'll see that the
progress continues to step 10, the ZeroDivide exception being caught
by inner on:do: handler.

Though, the purpose is to catch the ProgressInitiationException ,
prevent a progress bar to open, and resume without further interfering
with protected block evaluation (the receiver of outer on:do:).
Progress bar opening apart, the behavior should not be altered with or
without the handler. This is currently broken.

I think that this could be achieved by letting sendNotificationsTo:
use resumeEvaluating:. This will have a side effect that (on:
ProgressInitiationException do:) will be re-entrant and thus catch all
the inner ProgressInitiationException instead of only one. In Squeak,
that can't work, because expectations are more complex, but maybe
that's the desired behavior in Cuis.
