As far as I can tell this breaks the newspeak (and Cadence (*)) VM. I don't quite see the purpose of extBFirstZero and urgently need to restore the Newspeak and Cadence VMs. So forgive me but I'm going to revert that part of the changes. It has caused me to misdiagnose the problems with extPushInteger and genExtUnconditionalJump. These I'll revert too. If this breaks Lowcode then let's collaborate on developing a fix for Lowcode that doesn't break Newspeak and Cadence VMs. But it's a priority of mine (they pay for my work) to keep these VMs working.</div><div class="gmail_extra gmail_msg"><br class="gmail_msg"></div><div class="gmail_extra gmail_msg">(*) The Cadence VM is a Newspeak VM that does not enforce access control.</div><div class="gmail_extra gmail_msg"><br class="gmail_msg"></div><div class="gmail_extra gmail_msg"><br class="gmail_msg"><div class="gmail_quote gmail_msg">On Thu, Sep 8, 2016 at 9:53 AM, <span dir="ltr" class="gmail_msg"><<a href="mailto:commits@source.squeak.org" class="gmail_msg" target="_blank">commits@source.squeak.org</a>></span> wrote:<br class="gmail_msg"><blockquote class="gmail_quote gmail_msg" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex"><br class="gmail_msg">

Integration of Lowcode.<br class="gmail_msg">
<br class="gmail_msg">
Lowcode is an extended bytecode set that is encoded using the inline primitive facility from the SistaV1 bytecode set.<br class="gmail_msg">
<br class="gmail_msg">
Building a VM with Lowcode requires the following VMMaker options:<br class="gmail_msg">

<br class="gmail_msg">
In addition to these huge changes in the VM, Lowcode has some dependencies in some C headers with the inline FFI callout glue, and additional sqMemoryAccess.h macros. I will send a patch for inclusion into the OpenSmalltalk VM C sources.<br class="gmail_msg">
