Tracing special messages [WAS] Re: [Vm-dev] Re: normalSend, specialObjectsArray and VM

Tue Oct 5 16:23:47 UTC 2010

Hi. So....if I want to intercept ALL message sends....going to #normalSend
is not enough since I have #class, #==, Float>>#+   etc that are executed
directly like bytecodes. So...my questions are now:

1) Those special selectors are those that are in "Smalltalk
specialSelectors" ?  are there more?  all from there are special?

2) All those "Smalltalk specialSelectors"  have their associated bytecode
primitive in Interpreter??  If true, then I should modify all bytecodePrim*
in Interpreter. I am right?   If I do that, that's all ? I am intercepting
everything?

Thanks a lot in advance,

Mariano
