Hi folks. Sorry for the cross-post, I am not sure if it is image or vm problem.<br><br>If I implement this:<br><br>SmallInteger >> initialize<br> self addInstVarName: 'Zaraza'.<br><br>I have the error: 'SmallInteger cannot be changed'<br>
<br>This is because SmallInteger is in the ClassBuilder >> tooDangerousClasses<br>and the error is in ClassBuilder >> name: className inEnvironment: env subclassOf: newSuper type: type instanceVariableNames: instVarString classVariableNames: classVarString poolDictionaries: poolString category: category unsafe: unsafe<br>
<br>Now....since this is Smalltalk, I can just comment something, continue, or any other kind of hack so that I can add class variables to SmallInetger. <br>For my CompiledMethod proxies stuff, I am using SmallIntegers and I have some crashes (one is due to a corrupt heap and Eliot said something about sizes)...I wonder if this is related to this...So the question is: is really SMallInteger a too dangerous class so that it cannot be changed? not even adding a class variable??? does the VM assume that the class SmallInetger has a fixed size? if true, where?<br>
<br>Thanks in advance<br><br>Mariano<br>
