However, modifying the interpreter loop to:
while (1) { printNumtoFile(currentBytecode, foo->vmLogFile); switch (currentBytecode) { .. } }
didn't work: printNumtoFile() gets executed exactly once. I've debugged this with GDB: currentBytecode gets modified from within the CASE statements and the program never gets past the switch() statement.
that's most certainly because you are using a GNUified version of the interpreter (right?). That one applies threading to the interpreter implementation, so the loop body is not actually executed like a loop body usually is. Instead, interpreter logic jumps directly to and fro in the bytecode routines.
