6.94 Message

Defined in namespace Smalltalk
Category: Language-Implementation
I am a virtually existent class. By that I mean that logically instances of my class are created whenever a message is sent to an object, but in reality my instances are only created to hold a message that has failed, so that error reporting methods can examine the sender and arguments.
