:) but is is "inlined" in the inlined version of #whileTrue: :)
Switching to bytecodes in the code pane shows it (the unconditional jump):
13 <70> self
14 <C9> send: value
15 <9C> jumpFalse: 21
16 <10> pushTemp: 0
17 <C9> send: value
18 <87> pop
19 <A3 F8> jumpTo: 13
21 <73> pushConstant: nil
22 <7C> returnTop
When compiling all methods in the .image with <nomacros> pragma (my own
compiler ENH for controlling what is inlined), the ENH makes sure the
existing code of #whileTrue: & friends is compiled with inlining, so that
the method performs as if in tail recursive fashion.
This seems to be one of the fix points of the language (another one is
expression [thisContext] relative to inlining).
