Not so worried about anything more than a cSmalltalkVM implementation.
I won't be able to permit the Smalltalk implimentation to Edit the VM shell module itself.
I'm writing this for Amiga OS 4.x and have to do so blind about the Smalltalk language itself.
You have seen me on the OpenCobalt discussion group as ジェレミー on occasions when staying with BrickViking.
Inside the Smalltalk VM is still a black box and without being able to relate to the terms I already know the whole "Blue Book" reference may as well be written in Chinese and being presented as Japanese for readability of the English content as read in English by me.
It is about that helpful in my attempts at reading it as my style of reading is more hunting for direct references I can use.
I've also explained my never using printf or the standard C library despite actually learning the C language first by teaching myself.
I'm using the same techniques where I managed to get a benchmark result between 16MHz and 20MHz when Interpreting an 80486DX processor on a 68040 processor based Amiga A4000 in writing this VM implementation.
yes I managed to get a 32bit 68040 to Emulate a 32bit 80486 with FPU operations at a reasonable speed.
I would like to do the same with Smalltalk operations if at all possible.
Starting with the opcode values themselves, then how any data is formatted around them. followed up by what each opcode will modify.
if possible to have the above described in some kind of classical sense similar to C or C++
