Hi Eliot, hi all,
I have dropped a few versions in the inbox that improve the simulation of primitive 189, 183, 184 and also add tests for them. Please see: KernelTests-ct.420, Kernel-ct.1448, KernelTests-ct.421, and Kernel-ct.1449. Also, there are even more primitive tests in KernelTests-ct.409 (inbox), but they do not need to be reviewed together. I am looking forward to your feedback, please let me know when I can move these changes to the Trunk! :-)
Best,
Christoph

Wow that's a huge side-effect for such a basic operation. Not only that, the method lives in the method dictionary until the ensure: block us run and that could potentially be never. Isn't it preferable to determine if compiledMethod has a primitive, if so to use the doPrimitive:.../tryNamedPrimitiveIn:/tryPrimitive: machinery to execute the primitive, and then if the primitive fails create an activation of compiledMethod via Context class>>sender:receiver:method:arguments: and set that going via swapSender: tricks?
If you agree can I ask you to submit a Kernel with the implementation?

Hi Eliot, thanks for the fast feedback.
Wow that's a huge side-effect for such a basic operation. Not only that, the method lives in the method dictionary until the ensure: block us run and that could potentially be never. Isn't it preferable to determine if compiledMethod has a primitive, if so to use the doPrimitive:.../tryNamedPrimitiveIn:/tryPrimitive: machinery to execute the primitive, and then if the primitive fails create an activation of compiledMethod via Context class>>sender:receiver:method:arguments: and set that going via swapSender: tricks?
Very nice idea! So basically Context>>#send:to:with:lookupIn: without the lookup part. I'm looking forward to implementing this, but it might take me some more days ... Busy times ... :-)
Best, Christoph

Hi Eliot,
I just have implemented your idea in Kernel-ct.1451 (inbox). Hope you like it! :-)
Do you have any further suggestions or may I move KernelTests-ct.420, Kernel-ct.1448, KernelTests-ct.421, Kernel-ct.1449, and Kernel-ct.1451 to the Trunk?
Best, Christoph

Very nice idea! So basically Context>>#send:to:with:lookupIn: without the lookup part. I'm looking forward to implementing this, but it might take me some more days ... Busy times ... :-)
