more progress... compiler installation suggestions requested
by Craig Latta 14 May '03

Hi-- Currently I'm at 388K bytes, with 122 classes and 10,773 objects. Twenty of the remaining classes are for compilation. Forty percent of total space is taken up by instances of CompiledMethod. What do folks suggest as the best way of getting compilation support back into the system after it has been removed? thanks, -C -- Craig Latta http://netjam.org/resume craig(a)netjam.org Smalltalkers do: [:it | All with: Class, (And love: it)]

Hi Johannes-- > I'm working on distributing a Squeak version and also have problems > with the existing ORBs I've found, and the ones I've managed to > create myself. I want to get complete forwarding, and don't really > know how to do it. Is your proxy class available somewhere... I haven't released it yet. I'd like to release it as part of Squat; the first "real" milestone I have planned is shipping a small system into which Flow may be installed. > ...or can I get some ideas of how to write something similar? It works by changing how the interpreter does message lookup, and using a simple network protocol for remote message-sending. > I've also been thinking on moving down the distribution functionality > to a lower level later on in my project, maybe by managing it with the > object table and have special table references point to a link and > forward things from there to remote objects. What do you think of > that? Could it work or is it complete lunacy? It could work, but I prefer the simpler approach of just modifying message lookup. By changing a very small part of the system, you can "fake out" the rest of the system. :) -C -- Craig Latta http://netjam.org/resume craig(a)netjam.org Smalltalkers do: [:it | All with: Class, (And love: it)]
