I will start a sequence of VM related posts called “Journey through the VM”, similar to what Igor did in <a title="Deep Smalltalk School" href="http://www.inria.fr/centre-de-recherche-inria/lille-nord-europe/agenda/smalltalk">Deep Smalltalk School</a>.
My main focus is that a regular Smalltalker, without any knowledge in
VM stuff can understand the basis of it (ObjectMemory, Interpreter,
etc). In addition, I expect the reader can download, change, compile,
run, and debug (and why not fixing?) the VM.
<p>Later on in the journey, I would also like to talk about what the
compiler does, what bytecodes are, how to read them, how they are mapped
to the VM, etc. I will also show some hooks or tricks that the VM
provides and that are not always known. Moreover, I will explain what a
primitive is, how they are executed by the VM, how you can write your
own primitives, etc. FFI and writing your own plugin are also in my
plans.</p><p>It is important to notice that all these posts are thought for VM
newbies. I would appreciate if there can be some VM hackers paying attention that I don't say stupid things.</p><p><a href="http://marianopeck.wordpress.com/">http://marianopeck.wordpress.com/</a><br></p><p>Cheers</p><p><br></p>
