Hi
I have the following question:
Context:
- we are developing ClassBox a module system
(http://scgwiki.iam.unibe.ch:8080/SCG/559) and
alex started to extend the VM in Slang and now he spent a lot of time
debugging in C.
Question:
I was naively thinking that the VMInterpreter could help us there (if
it would work in 3.4).
Now my question what can we really do with the VMInterpreter. I
thought that it was used to develop
the Squeak VM (debugging it....) is it correct? what are the limits of
the approach (can we access
the VM internal structure...?)
Final Question:
Does somebody has a version running in 3.4 because it seems to me that
this is key asset of Squeak
for exploring new ideas?
