Hi Stefan,
> (InterpreterSimulator new openOn: 'sma2.6.image') test
1. start up and then save+quit "sma2.6" on your local machine.
2. (InterpreterSimulator new openOn: 'sma2.6.image') test
If that doesn't work,
2b. (InterpreterSimulator new openOn: 'sma2.6.image') test
If that doesn't work, you found a bug.
Regards,
Ian
PS: You might have a bug anyway. I recently spotted what I think
might cause problems in some of the "internal" loop code. The
internal #internalFindNewMethod relies on lkupClass being set from
outside, but the external #findNewMethod doesn't -- and then one of
the primtives (I forget which one, but it might have been one of the
#performs or somewhere in the #at: cache) goes snooping at lkupClass.
I didn't spend the time necessary to figure out if there was ever a
path to looking at lkupClass without it being correctly set, but there
is certainly a time bomb in there waiting to go off... (FWIW, the
interpSimulator works fine on PPC and the [interpSimLSB on Intel] for
me -- but I took out all the internal stuff a few weeks ago [when I
noticed the above problem] for the benefit of "other" execution
mechanisms... ;-)
