1.12 BlockContext

Defined in namespace Smalltalk
Superclass: ContextPart
Category: Language-Implementation

My instances represent executing Smalltalk blocks, which are portions of executeable code that have access to the environment that they were declared in, take parameters, and result from BlockClosure objects created to be executed by methods outside the current class. Block contexts are created by messages sent to compute a closure’s value. They contain a stack and also provide some methods that can be used in inspection or debugging.
