Hi Eliot, Christoph, All,
It's known the following example crashes the VM. Is this an intended behavior or a "tolerated bug"?
`[[^ 1] on: BlockCannotReturn do: #resume] fork`
I understand why it crashes: the non-local return has nowhere to return to and so resuming the computation leads to a crash. But why not raise another BCR exception to prevent the crash? Potential infinite loop? Perhaps I'm just missing the purpose of this behavior...
Thanks for an explanation.
Best, Jaromir
