Hello, Anthony,
Is there any code for these, particularly any SystemTracer code. I already have most of the compiler and interpreter re-written using the new CompiledMethod format and BlockClosures, but I can't test it until I convert an image using SystemTracer. I ran the basic SystemTracer that comes with the latest image. It finishes creating an image file, but when I start it up the VM crashes (Exception code: C0000005) in Windows 98. Has anyone created a working clone lately?
The problem is the handling of the obsoleted classes. Attached changeset should fix the problem. Try it and let me know the outcome. (It was while ago I did this and the memory is a bit vague. You might have to rehash some unordered collection after the cloned image is started up.)
Hope this helps,
-- Yoshiki
