[Vm-dev] SocketPlugin and 64 bit

[Martin Kuball]

Hi!

After having a working vm for linux-amd64 again, I tried to get the 
network stuff up and running which has never worked for met on amd64. 
Some debugging in gdb showed that the code for optaining the bytesize 
of an array is broken in SocketPlugin. Some comparisions with the 
Fileplugin showed that code like this from SocketPlugin:

  sz = interpreterProxy->byteSizeOf(((sqInt)(long)(name) - 4));

(where name is the adress of the first indexable field of an 
ByteArray) does not work while

  pathNameSize = interpreterProxy->byteSizeOf(pathName);

(pathName beeing an oop from the stack) does work.

I changed the generated code and it works now. But of course something 
has to be done at VMMaker level to realy solve the problem.
