The faulty code is a result of some interesting inlining issue.
However it only happens in a
few places < 5 or so, causes a compiler error, and is easy to hand fix.
Still just the compiled code
must be mmm.
Ok for a non-inlined Squeak3.1alpha [latest update: #'Squeak3.1alpha'
of 6 February 2001 update 3960]
compiled for 68K machines using size optimization, we need 64,976 bytes
for the code, and 64,4464 bytes
for data storage for interp.c That excludes all the other support
files, but I do recall making a VM for Dan
once that only needed about 200K of space oh yes a 3.0.9A VM that is
220K in size. 174K for PPC code this time, and 84K for
storage. With that and a mini image you could run in a ONE MB space.
