How can I configure the Smalltalk Compiler to compile a block, but in a very restricted environment - so only access to parameters are allowed (as an example).

In addition to this, how can I configure a possible naming solution of global values ?

Thanks,

Marten

Subclass EsParser (and the corresponding compiler class) and override parse:class:scanComments:errorHandler:ifFail:.
I think that would allow you to define the environment you want, which should limit name resolution.

There is probably quite a bit more than just that, but I think it will give you a starting point.
