Now I started to dispatch the block to another process (to avoid some locking
issues right now..) but obviously I get a BadReturn when invoking it in
another Context. Is there something like a 'break' for Iterable>>do:? is there
any other selector to help me?
There's of course exception handling, but that's pretty heavyweight.
I've seen people use this:
Iterable>>withBreakDo: aBlock
break := [ :value | ^self].
self do: [ :each | aBlock value: each value: break].
so that you can do
copy do: [ :each |
each isTooOld ifTrue: [break value: true].
each doStuff
orig remove: each ]
One thing I can think of is something like this...
[copy isEmpty not and: [copy first isJounEnough]] whileTrue: [].
anything else?
This one definitely has better performance.
