Hi VM and compiler hackers!

Is there a way to avoid a hierarchy recompilation when an instance variable is added to a class?
In VW, with the parcel, all the methods present in the subclasses have the offset in the compiled methods adjusted. Is it possible to do it in Squeak? Will I encounter some big issue with that?

Andreas, you once said you were working on this issue. What is your current plan/status?

Best Regards,
Alexandre
