[Cuis-dev] ReferenceStream restoreFromFile: aFileEntry goes into infinite loop

[H. Hirzel]

I did the test from yesterday again and this time it works. I do not know
what happened.




ReferenceStream dumpOnFile: ('aSingleString.obj' asFileEntry) object: 'ABC'
.
ReferenceStream restoreFromFile: ('aSingleString.obj' asFileEntry).  "OK"


aByteArray := #[1 2 3 4].
ReferenceStream dumpOnFile: ('aByteArray.obj' asFileEntry) object:
 aByteArray.
ReferenceStream restoreFromFile: ('aByteArray.obj' asFileEntry).  "OK"


ReferenceStream dumpOnFile: ('aSmallInteger.obj' asFileEntry) object:
 1000.
ReferenceStream restoreFromFile: ('aSmallInteger.obj' asFileEntry).  "OK"


ReferenceStream dumpOnFile: ('anArray.obj' asFileEntry) object:  (Array
with: 'ABC' with: #[1 2 3 4] with: 1000).
ReferenceStream restoreFromFile: ('anArray.obj' asFileEntry).  "OK"


dict := Dictionary new.
dict at: 1 put: #[1 2 3 4].
dict at: 2 put: #[5 6 7 8].
dict at: 3 put: #[10 20 30 40].

ReferenceStream dumpOnFile: ('dictWithByteArrays.obj' asFileEntry) object:
dict .
ReferenceStream restoreFromFile: ('dictWithByteArrays.obj' asFileEntry).
 "OK"
