-1 => executable name -2 .. -n => VM arguments *including* image (if explicitlysupplied).
Before we had (at least on Linux and I guess with the StackVM):
0 => executable name -1 .. -n => VM arguments *including* image (if explicitlysupplied).
Right. And that makes sense.
Why the need to change that? And what's 0 returning now? The same as 1 (with path)?
I wanted all three platforms to be the same (the Mac was not answering any VM parameters at all, and Windows was returning the executable in -1). But I missed that 0 was answering the executable name. It makes no sense for Smalltalk getSystemAttribute: 0 and Smalltalk getSystemAttribute: -1 to answer the same thing. I will change it (back) to
0 => executable name -1 .. -n => VM arguments *including* image (if explicitly supplied).
and do so on all platforms.
Thanks for spotting this.
