Hi,
apologies for the cross-post to two lists, but I wasn't too sure where
to ask this.
I've just been browsing the VM sources for details on the encoding of
class formats used in object instantiation.
Apparently, it seems as if the class format word that can be retrieved
by sending #format to a class has the same layout as the standard
header word of all objects. The only difference seems to be that the
format word is shifted left by 1.
Can anyone confirm this? Or am I wrong?
Thanks,
Michael
