Henrik Gedenryd Henrik.Gedenryd@lucs.lu.se is widely believed to have written:
Forgive me if I am overlooking something really obvious, but while we're almost on the topic, what is it prevents one from doing ordinary message sends from C code by having the equivalent of the exact bytecodes of a message send as a sequence of (Slang-generated) C code? This is what I thought that exception code was doing when it triggers a method for block unwinding or something.
Kind of, yes. It does it in a very specific situation and the image code never returns to that C code routine. As Andreas said, just try returning through a C stackframe!
