Hi,

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

gives the largest method as an object. Is there an efficient way to trace back the method selector and its class without doing a brute force lookup?

On pre-traits images you'd need (aMethod who) but from 3.9 on #who is deprecated. If you're on 3.9 the comment in #who tells the fast way.

Note that

CompiledMethod someInstance

is much more efficient than

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
