Thanks Tim! That's what I needed. Being pointed to the right place. It has taken 20 minutes to understand the code and 20 minutes to fix it. Thanks so much!!<br>

Nice to have actually achieved something this week; it's been one of those weeks...<br>

Simulating simulating the VM to gather type data seems like a pretty complex project. I can't help feeling it would be simpler and faster to simply write the VM cleanly, with decent documentation and specs.</blockquote>
<div><br>But that's exactly what this project would allow one to do. One implements a VM in Smalltalk as cleanly designed as one can. If implementing a JIT then include a simulator for the processor. Then simulate this written-in-Smalltalk VM and translate this clean design to (e.g.) C removing polymorphism and generating vanilla code based on the type information collected.<br>
