Hi all, I'm following the instructions on this page http://www.squeakvm.org/unix/devel.html , I've loaded the package VMMaker and the SlangBrowser but i have no idea how to open the SlangBrowser. any ideas?
Thanks

As far as I know, there is no browse, but instead a #asCString and #asCString: but I may be wrong. I tried to make it work the SlangBrowser because I was developing a VMLearningKit which has a browser to display source code, bytecodes and C code but I couldn't make it work because I couldn't find a way to the the associated translated C code of a method. Anyway, you can see:

Hi Bernardo,
SlangBrowser works only with Squeak and with trunk VMMaker.
There is no separate browser to open, it just adds to the existing browser functionality.
For a browser in Squeak, the square button on the right that says "source" is used to select various display options, such "source", "documentation", or "byteCodes". When SlangBrowser is loaded, you get additional options for "translate to C" and "translate inlined C". This allows you to browse the Smalltalk VM source, and view the C version of each method at any time exactly as it will appear in the generated sources.

As someone who is struggling to learn how to create custom asembler code using NativeBoost, the ability to compile short C routines directly in Squeak would be amazing.
Dave, I've done that but there's no option in the source button. i'll try again and give you the steps to reproduce
Thanks.

If you follow http://www.squeakvm.org/unix/devel.html , SlangBrowser is included. Only "VMMaker initializeBrowserSupport" is necessary.
