[Vm-dev] [ANN] PharoCasts with Experts: Debug the Cog VM with Mariano Martinez Peck

[Mariano Martinez Peck]

Hi guys. I think there is a mistake..."expert"??? No....I am FAR from being
an expert. I am  just a newbie like you but that I try to share the minimum
I learn.
BTW, the video has a couple of mistakes I did that I want to share just in
case:

1) I downloaded git in an ugly directory (inside the build of another git
repository) and then I don't know why there was an error and I couldn't
download git sources again. So, I needed to stay with the ugly and confusing
directory.

2) When I debugged with XCode you could see there were a lot of '??' in the
debugger. This was wrong and it was because of a compiler flag in the Mac
builds. This was fixed a couple of days ago, what we were still using an old
version

3) when we put a flag in the method lookup for the #dnu it didn't work
because (I think) of the black magic that happens when executing things from
the workspace. If I would have evaluated the same code but from a method, it
should have worked

BTW, How can I have such an ugly voice? heheh

Cheers

Mariano
