If with this piece of data, together with what I mentioned in the first
email, you have a hint, please tell me :)
Wild guess: did you invalidate all the caches that a GC usually invalidates? Thinks like primitive caches etc? Not sure what is there in Cog that could be problematic.
Thanks Stefan. I tried to do a Object flush after each graph I swap out, but still, same problem :( Thanks for the hint anyway.
While it may be difficult for Cog to get this right, since there are two copies of a jitted method, the original and the machine-code version, it would be great if Cog could have it right. So give than you have a reproducible case could you do me a huge favour and create an image that reproduces the bug? Please create the image as a doit that saves the image and then continues to runt to the crash. e.g. if the code that provokes the crash is "MyTest crash" evaluate this in a workspace, and then verify when you start-up the resulting snapshot that the image crashes:
SmalltalkImage current snapshot: true andQuit: true. MyTest crash
or
SmalltalkImage current garbageCollect; snapshot: true andQuit: true. MyTest crash
etc
Best regards Stefan
