Track objects through the program trace by their identifiers. Be stricter than object identity here.

Examples:

  • Extract/highlight all contexts in a trace that
    • "move" a variable under a given name (dataflow, push/pop it from/to the variable stack, assign it to variables, pass it to other objects via a message, return value of message send/primitive)
    • "see" a variable under a given name (i.e., have access to it, even if they do not actually move it)
  • self submorphsDo: #flash -> Symbol>>value:, Symbol>>#value:, ...
  • Support for Better filter mechanisms ("through filters") #73
  • Explain side effects in a sandbox (cf. Add prototypical Protocol Explorer LinqLover/SimulationStudio#39)

Current state:

  • A first very incomplete prototype for scopeless tracking exists.
  • Next steps: Discuss use cases and requirements in detail, extend prototype
  • Decide on whether this should be implemented in the scope of SimulationStudio or TDB
