Hi,

The following code: CompiledMethod allInstances inject: (CompiledMethod allInstances first) into: [:m :i | i size > m size ifTrue: [i] ifFalse: [m]].

CompiledMethod someInstance

CompiledMethod allInstances first

Not in 3.8, but I think later versions might cache the owner of CMs. Anyway, you might want to try this:

(CompiledMethod allInstances detectMax: [:m | m size]) who
