5.4.25.8. notify= (Class Method)

The class attribute notify controls whether created traceObjects get collected or not. If its value is set to .nil (default) then traceObjects are not collected.

Sets the class attribute notify to the supplied object. If the object is not .nil then from that moment on, the fully initialized traceObjects will get sent as the argument to the APPEND message to the notify object.

Note

At the time of this APPEND message, the traceObject will have all entries set, which may be important for real-time processing.

Note

Any OrderedCollection class understands the APPEND message such that one can use e.g. the OrderedCollection classes Array or List for collecting the traceObjects.

One could also create a class with an APPEND method and use an instance of it assigned to the NOTIFY class object, and thereby become able to process each freshly created traceObject in real-time, if this is considered to be necessary.
