Thanks Bert!

The byte code has the answer, I thought that the byte code will map the source code but I see that's not the case, probably to ensure some optimizations.. or to do that "jump" I don't know how to do that in smalltalk

Thanks a lot for taking the time to answer such a newbie question.

Can I add methods to literal blocks?

Yes.

Where do I implement those methods?

In class BlockClosure.


In case your answer is in BlockClosures, why I don't see any ifTrue: in the while implementation?

Because the compiler generates a jump byte code for whileTrue: directly. In a browser on the whileTrue: method, click the "source" button to switch to showing byte codes.
