A stupid question

Hi ! I have never used self, just read about it, but it does look interesting, I have one question though, how do I do the following: I have an object (X) that contains a parent slot that points to an object (Y). Y contains some data that is used in X for something, now when I clone X (as I understand it a shallow copy), wouldn't this mean that we just get a reference to Y in the cloned object so that X and the copy of X would have the save parent object and if I modify the data in Y both X objects will notice this. How do I clone an object so that the parent is cloned to ?, or maybe this kind of stuff is done in a completley different way in self ? This is of cource only a problem when the parent contains data slots. Mikael

Thanks for the reference. The paper is a chapter in the book "Prototype-Based Object-Oriented Programming : Concepts, Languages, and Applications" edited by James Noble, Antero Taivalsaari and Ivan Moore, Springer-Verlag, 1999, http://www.springer.de/cgi-bin/search_book.pl?isbn=981-4021-25-3. Anyone interested in prototype-based systems should probably have a copy of their own, as there are many nice papers within. The amazon.com ref is http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/9814021253/qid%3D944081764/002-76038…. ;-) Mario
