[squeak-dev] compiler bug with 4.5?

2 May 2014


      Hi All,
just found a worrying bug in 4.5. that may be a bytecode compiler bug
or a Monticello bug.  It's completely repeatable.
The bug is that after building the VMMaker image that compiles the VMMaker
package, Spur32BitCoMemoryManager>>#getScavengeThreshold (the 42st inst
var) is compiled with a header that says return the 7th inst var.
To repeat, check-out http://www.squeakvm.org/svn/squeak/branches/Cog/image,
run buildsqueak45image.sh, then start-up CogVMMaker.image.  Navigate to
Spur32BitCoMemoryManager>>#getScavengeThreshold
-- and explore the method (there's a menu pick in the browser).
best,
Eliot
