Struct's name is not persisted

[semaperepelitsa]

First script prints class name "Letter" as expected.

Maglev.persistent do
  p Letter = Struct.new(:char)
end
Maglev.commit_transaction

Second script prints empty line instead of class name.

p Letter

It works fine if I replace struct with a regular class.

i remember seeing this before. we talked about this, then. the problem is that assigning a struct to a comstamt doesn't actually set its name. the constant of the name Letter simply points to the new class, but that doesnt mean the name of the strucy class is now Letter.

A workaround could be

class Letter < Struct.new(:char); end

[semaperepelitsa]

But this works fine: Letter = Class.new.

I won't have time to look into it today (Christmas and everything ;)), but I'll take a look. Associating classes with names on the Smalltalk side of things happens through instances of RubyNamespace. We had some oddities there before. @MagLev/hpi-bp is working on persistence, so they will take a look, too.
