[Vm-dev] Recursive not understood error encountered

[Mariano Martinez Peck]

In my case, the proxy class is CompiledMethodProxy and it is a subclass of
AbstractCompiledMethodProxy which is a subclass of ProtoObject.

In AbstractCompiledMethodProxy I have:

AbstractCompiledMethodProxy >> doesNotUnderstand: aMessage
    self mareaIsProxyInstalled
        ifTrue: [ ^ CompiledMethodProxyHandler mareaHandleDoesNotUnderstand:
aMessage forProxy: self]
        ifFalse: [ ^ super doesNotUnderstand: aMessage ].


CompiledMethodProxy >> mareaIsProxyInstalled
    ^ fileName isNil not

Now....I was checking in VM side, method Interpreter >> lookupMethodInClass:
class
and still cannot understand how can I get a  'Recursive not understood error
encountered'  error, because in the previous loop, it MUST find the method
dnu, since it is implemented in ProtoObject.  I am confused :(

Thanks in advance for any help

Mariano
