[Vm-dev] Re: VM patches for oop comparison and usqInt declarations

[John M McIntosh]

ok, in debugging vm I get  failure in

   static inline sqInt longAtput(sqInt oop, sqInt val)		{ return  
longAtPointerput(pointerForOop(oop), val); }

oop is 0xe02e2c98
val is 310,038

called via inCompMove

	} else {
		newFreeChunk = newOop + (sizeBitsOf(newOop));
		/* begin setSizeOfFree:to: */
		longAtput(newFreeChunk, (bytesFreed & AllButTypeMask) |  
HeaderTypeFree);
	}


newOop is 0x7ffb4558
newFreeChunk is -533844840  or  0xe02e2c98
Well that has a wrong feel to it...
Let me attached an image of the debugger vars in case someone wants  
to puzzle out the issue.
