It's pure smalltalk code. 'foobar' is a ByteString and it will execute a
method of ByteArray. The method is called #atAllPut: and it will be evaluated with the argument 65.
Sorry for the late answer. I think you didn't understand what I asked or I didn't understand your answer.
In that example, you are SENDING the message withArgs:executeMethod: to the receiver.
What I need is this...imagine I have Message instance, and I need to do a #sendTo: but WITHOUT using the receiver but instead sending it by parameter. I cannot do: aMessage sendTo: aReceiver because
sendTo: receiver "answer the result of sending this message to receiver"
^ receiver perform: selector withArguments: args
So...as you can see, #sendTo sends a message to the receiver, which I cannot. Instead of delegating to the receiver, I need someting like this:
CompiledMethod >> valueWithReceiver: aReceiver arguments: anArray "Execute compiledMethod against the receiver and args in argArray. The receiver is the CompiledMethod"
<primitive: 666> self primitiveFailed
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?
Thanks in advance,
