Hi Folks,
I am reading http://www.esug.org/data/Articles/misc/oopsla99-contexts.pdf%C2%A0 in the hopes of upping my game regarding Smalltalk in general.
From the Abstract in the above link, is this sentence... Smalltalk-80 provides a reification of execution state in the form of context objects which represent procedure activation records.
A search for 'activation records (https://search.brave.com/search?q=procedure+activation+records&source=de... states that they are synonymous with stack-frames.
but the sentence in the abastract suggests a level of abstraction between the actual "stack-frame" and the "reification of execution state in the form of context objects"
is this suggestion true?
Furthermore, pointers for more basic reading on this stuff would be helpful.
cordially
tty
