>From the comments in
- positive32BitIntegerFor: and positive64BitIntegerFor:
and from the names
- maybeInlinePositive32BitIntegerFor: and noInlineSigned32BitIntegerFor:

if I understand correctly, slang is inlining some methods carelessly of
type compatibility.
it eliminate assignments of parameter where it should not, is that it?

That's not a new thing but very much what I bumped into one year ago:

http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/vm-dev/2013-December/014371.html

I had only signedness issues, but with 32 vs 64 bits it can be much worse
indeed.

That's precisely the methods I want to play with, so before I hit some wall,
what is the status, can we generate a working 32 and/or 64 bits spur VM
with 1083?

cheers

Nicolas
