Hi Math,

IIRC #positive32BitIntegerFor: returns a boxed instance of LargePositiveInteger and it looks like that is not what you want to pass to #sufficientSpaceToInstantiate: and to #instantiateClass:

I suggest to have a look at the implementor of #experimentalBytecode, that one reads bytes from the current IP and makes use of them.

Hi.

I am in VMMaker and I want to convert the current bytecode to the corresponding integer. How could I do that?

For the time being I have write the following instruction:

self fetchNextBytecode. closSize := self positive32BitIntegerFor: currentBytecode. self fetchNextBytecode. "The following may cause GC!" self success: (self sufficientSpaceToInstantiate: (self splObj: ClosureEnvObject) indexableSize: closSize). successFlag ifTrue: [ self storePointer: 4 ofObject: activeContext withValue:(self instantiateClass: (self splObj: ClosureEnvObject) indexableSize: closSize)]]

But it don't seems to work Thanks for helping
