[Vm-dev] Marshalling?

[gettimothy]

Thanks.

I will post stuff like this to vm-beginners from now on.

fwiw, having  observed, for the first time, "stuff that happens before my code runs" ->my code running in the active context-->"is there stuff that happens after my code runs?" 
I just wanted to use the correct terms for  the pre and post processes, if they exist.

cordially,

 And no, "marshalling" has nothing to do with this. Neither is it a topic for the vm-dev list, really.

Is there a term for all the Method/Block Contexts that are invoked prior to a DoIt getting to

?

I know this is just semantics, but before there is a lot of "Context" going on before the first MethodContext of 


| factorial |

factorial := [:n  |
    n = 1 
    ifTrue:[ 1 ] 
    ifFalse:[ (factorial copy value: n-1) * n]].
(1 to: 3) collect: factorial copy . 
is activated.

Just curious if there is a term for that that people use.

thx.

I'd call it "user interface code". If you refer to the stack dump below, you see that the TextEditor pretty much directly invokes the Compiler, triggered by a keystroke event that is handled by the hierarchy of morphs and generated by the Morphic main loop (with a slight diversion via the ToolSet layer).
