[Vm-dev] Can we make prim 118 support mirror logic?

[Clément Bera]

Hi Denis,

In the VM the comment for primitive 118 is the following:

"Implement either ProtoObject>>tryPrimitive: primIndex withArgs: argArray
or Context>>receiver: anObject tryPrimitive: primIndex withArgs: argArray.
If this primitive fails, arrange that its error code is a negative integer,
to
distinguish between this failing and the primitive it invokes failing."

So mirror logic for primitive 118 should already be supported.

However when I try it...

Mirror new receiver: 20 tryPrimitive: 1 withArgs: { 22 } => primitive failed

20 tryPrimitive: 1 withArgs: { 22 } => 42

So I think it's a bug that should be fixed.

Thanks for reporting.
