You *really* need to learn how to use the simulator

Is it working? I've been told it is not working at all and that it should take me time to fix it.

Cog works. If the standard simulator doesn't and you fix it that would be a great contribution to the community /ad/ you would learn a lot in the process. So you can get two images up side-by-side, try Cog (the simulator expression is in one of the workspaces; use the StackInterpreter) and you can copy across code to your VMMaker until the simulator works, announce it and someone like myself or David can integrate it into the main VMMaker line.

I am reading the code in the VM as much as possible.

Asking people here to debug your code is an extremely slow way to do it.

That said, replacing popStack with stackValue is NOT EQUIVALENT. Thus your transformation of popStack -> stackValue is entirely incorrect. Where you previously had:

1. popStack
2. popStack
3. test and... 3a) return result 3b) unpop 2

with stackValue you need to use

1. stackValue: 0.
2. stackValue: 1.
3. test and ... 3a) pop 2 and return result 3b) =do nothing=

I.e., stackValue does NOT POP but rather indexes into the stack.

Ok, I understand that. But before doing that, I just replced

integerArgument := self popPos32BitInteger. integerReceiver := self popPos32BitInteger.

by

arg := self popStack. integerArgument := self positive32BitValueOf: arg. rcvr := self popStack. integerReceiver := self positive32BitValueOf: rcvr.

So....I JUST copy the code of #popPos32BitInteger and put it there.....I didn't change anything else, and I have the same problem.

At the end:

primitiveBitOr | integerReceiver integerArgument arg rcvr | arg := self popStack. integerArgument := self positive32BitValueOf: arg. rcvr := self popStack. integerReceiver := self positive32BitValueOf: rcvr.

successFlag
    ifTrue: [
        self push: (self positive32BitIntegerFor:
                (integerReceiver bitOr: integerArgument))]
    ifFalse: [self unPop: 2]

is has CPU100 and

primitiveBitOr | integerReceiver integerArgument | integerArgument := self popPos32BitInteger. integerReceiver := self popPos32BitInteger. successFlag ifTrue: [self push: (self positive32BitIntegerFor: (integerReceiver bitOr: integerArgument))] ifFalse: [self unPop: 2]

works perfect.

And I am not using stackValue.

Anyway, thanks for the explanation about both differences.

Hi, I want to change #primitiveBitOr or #primitiveBitAnd and in both cases, I compile the VM, I run an image, and the image cannot even start and CPU 100% :( I have a loop somewhere.

This is the current implementation of #primitiveBitOr for example:

primitiveBitOr | integerReceiver integerArgument | integerArgument := self popPos32BitInteger. integerReceiver := self popPos32BitInteger. successFlag ifTrue: [self push: (self positive32BitIntegerFor: (integerReceiver bitOr: integerArgument))] ifFalse: [self unPop: 2]

I NEED to have the receiver oop and the argument oop. So, I've change it to:

primitiveBitOr | integerReceiver integerArgument arg rcvr | arg := self popStack. integerArgument := self positive32BitValueOf: arg. rcvr := self popStack. integerReceiver := self positive32BitValueOf: rcvr.

successFlag
    ifTrue: [
        self push: (self positive32BitIntegerFor:
                (integerReceiver bitOr: integerArgument))]
    ifFalse: [self unPop: 2]

And then to:

primitiveBitOr | integerReceiver integerArgument arg rcvr | arg := self stackValue: 0. integerArgument := self positive32BitValueOf: arg. rcvr := self stackValue: 1. integerReceiver := self positive32BitValueOf: rcvr.

successFlag
    ifTrue: [
        self push: (self positive32BitIntegerFor:
                (integerReceiver bitOr: integerArgument))]
    ifFalse: [self unPop: 2]

But in both cases, while trying to start an image, I have cpu 100% Of course, the same happens if I do this in #primitiveBitAnd

Any ideas what can be happening? because I tried to understand but nothing :(

Thanks in advance

Mariano

these functions are available in latest version of VMMaker. You probably trying to build from outdated VMMaker auto-generated sources which were saved into SVN repository. So you need to generate fresh VM sources using VMMaker.

(have i forgot to mention again, that its bad practice to put autogenerated sources in SVN? ;)

Sometimes this is not a question of not wanting to do something this is the question of not knowing.

It'd be worthwhile, truly. I've had to fix it many times over the

years; it's not so bad and always edifying in some way.
