-> No, it will not be enabled by default in Squeak 5.3. After the release, we plan to immediately switch the regular Trunk from V3 to SistaV1 to do more tests. Please do all tests using the default V3-with-closures bytecode set. Meaning, just use the ones from
files.squeak.org as described above.</div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div>The bug we had that I feared wasconnected to the SistaV1 bytecode set was identified by Nicolas Cellier; it was due to the JIT generating unsafe code for assigning the stack pointer through an absolute address in x86-64. This was fixed and I further improved the code by moving the variables assigned to, CStackPointer and CFramePointer, into the CoInterpreter where they can be reached via the dedicated VarBaseRegister.<div><br></div><div>So, given that I’ve been using SistaV1 for over a year and fixed the last bytecode compiler issue several months ago (I’ll dig out the Monticello commits soon) I’m confident that we are in fact ready for Sista V1. Can we please enable it by default. I’mconfident that there are no serious issues left with SistaV1 and after a difficult year I have my energy back and feel confident I can address any issues that do come up promptly. <br></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div>Ah, I may have spoken too soon.
