Hi Tobias,


what do you mean in detail?


If I create the class via System Browser and add the method, my change file ends with:


Object subclass: #CTTéstClass
instanceVariableNames: ''
classVariableNames: ''
poolDictionaries: ''
category: 'CT-Experiments'!
!CTTéstClass methodsFor: 'no messages' stamp: 'ct 12/21/2019 17:18'!
foo! !

However, CompiledMethod >> #timeStamp returns ''.


Here is a snapshot of the #timeStamp stackframe:



Please note that "tokens at: tokenCount" returns the correct timestamp, but however, stamp is nil. What is this???


I'm not sure if I understand you correctly, but if you told me to search the hex of my change file for a "zero word", the only occurrence I could find is:


Which lead me to this:


Does not seem related, but still looks somehow wrong ^^


Best,

Christoph

Please look at your .changes file whether at some point \00 bytes appear.
