<br></div><div>Scan the bytecodes. See Cogit>scanMethod.</div><div> </div></div></div></blockquote><div><br><br>Hi Eliot. It seems I am still far away from understanding scanMethod. I cannot figure out how you get the endPC. I see you only set it in this part:<br>
(descriptor isReturn<br> and: [pc >= latestContinuation]) ifTrue:<br> [endPC := pc].<br><br>anyway, I trust you :)<br></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>The first return beyond the furthest continuation is the end of the method. The furthest continuation is the furthest forward we've seen a branch. If we see a return beyond all branches that return must be the end of the method.</div>
<div><br></div><div>e.g.</div><div> expr ifTrue: [^foo] ifFalse: [self bar]. ^self</div><div><br></div><div>the first ^foo is not the end of the method because there's a branch around it from the expr test to the start of [self bar]. But the last ^self is the end because there's no branch past it.</div>
<div> </div></div></div></blockquote><div><br>ahhh got it now :)<br>Thanks Eliot for the explanation. Now I also understand why you call it "scan" hahaha. <br><br><br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
