[Vm-dev] Has anyone done a tutorial on...

[Phil B]

Tim,

I'm open to that... any tutorials on that front would be appreciated 😀.
The last time I tried (around the spur conversion timeframe) I was unable
to run an image in the simulator for more than a few minutes without
problems.

(You folks do some nice work in VM-land... sure would be nice if it were
more easily reproducible by those of us who don't work with the internals
daily.  For example: what is the recommended way to build a VMMaker image
these days?  Tried the obvious ways in Squeak 5.1 and Pharo 6.1 and both
failed...)

Thanks,
Phil

When possible you’re much better off using the VMSimulator to examine an
image.

great.  Most of what I've run across is related to the internals of the VM
rather than debugging an image.  My gdb skills are pretty rusty plus I
suspect that not knowing all of the helper functions available in the VM
(and how to best use them in a debugging workflow) is slowing me down.
