VMMaker 4.10.8

Add missing comment generation for TStmtListNode. This provides additional embedded comments in generated C source.

Background:

A recent change to the compiler in Squeak trunk causes comments to be associated with statement lists rather than assignment nodes if the comment appears at the beginning of a block. This is a worthwhile change, but it exposes a bug in C code generation in which these comments are lost from from generated C code.

This update restores the expected generation of comments at the beginning of blocks when VMMaker is run in updated Squeak images. It also results in additional embedded comments in various places throughout the generated C sources.

There is no functional impact on generated code, and the bug is not present in the oscog branch of VMMaker.
