What the methodClass is useful for?
by Mathieu Suen 23 Oct '08

Hi, In the class Interpreter there is instance variable called "methodClass". What is the purpose of this instance? It seems that no method is using it, there is only assignment to it. Thanks Mth

Re: [squeak-dev] More descriptive version report
by Ken Causey 07 Oct '08

Or I might suggest 'generated using'. However perhaps instead we should simplify the version information. What image was used to generate the C code is only rarely of interest, remove it from the overall version information and add a --verbose-version or the like with the current information, maybe even more.

Re: [Vm-dev] instance arbitrary objects
by Esteban Lorenzano 06 Oct '08

Hi, John, I'm doing something similar to what you show, but now, in my primitive... let's say it "primitiveGetNextEvent", I'm instantiating an Array, putting it the plain event struct data, and returning that array to squeak. I want to return an instance of MyEvent instead... Cheers, Esteban

Hi, I want to send-back a new instance of object "Event" (created by me) with some inst vars... It is possible to instance arbitrary objects on a plugin? Thanks, Esteban
