Please verify my assumption--I am starting to see the trees for the forest and don't want to waste time due to an incorrect assumption.

Per my reading  on pragmas please verify that these:
StackInterpreterSimulatorLSB(StackInterpreter)>>mapStackPages
    <inline: false>
    <var: #thePage type: #'StackPage *'>
    <var: #theSP type: #'char *'>
    <var: #theFP type: #'char *'>
    <var: #callerFP type: #'char *'>
    <var: #theIPPtr type: #'char *'>
    0 to: numStackPages - 1 do: 


are intended for whatever generates the C source code and that the assertion fail I am getting later in the method is in no way related to the updates Eliot has been recently making to

Thanks.

tty.

p.s. I am really enjoying this puzzle! 
For an update, I have finished my overview of the Blue Book and am now taking notes in Tim Rowledge's Object Engine pdf.
Once that is done, I will be studying the StackInterpreter  documentation and can hopefully start contributing soon.
