Where the primitive is send directly, and not a message to the receiver.
Is something like this available or I would need to create a new primitive?
Which by the way, is the primitive that should exist, and Object>>withArgs:executeMethod: should be nuked ASAP. There is no reason to pollute the Object namespace any more than absolutely necessary.
The solution already exists in Cog: primitive 188 can accept a third argument - the receiver, but it doesn't work if the CompiledMethod is quick. In this case the VM crashes. It does work with "normal" methods.
I prepared an image with a workspace in it demonstrating the bug: http://leves.web.elte.hu/squeak/primitive188bug.zip
If primitive 188 works reliably, then this feature can be added to the interpreter VM too.
Levente, this is fixed in VMMaker.oscog-eem.75 & http://www.mirandabanda.org/files/Cog/VM/VM.r2394/. David, the VMMaker package contains a putative fix for Interpreter. Feel free to integrate it into the interpreter.
Thanks Eliot,
The fix from VMMaker.oscog-eem.75 is included in VMMaker-dtl.240 (Minor note, oscog needs an implemention of #stackValue:put: for Interpreter also).
Levente, your test image (primitive188bug.zip) works now on the interpreter VM (workspace example evaluates without VM crash).
Great, thanks!
Levente
