Hi

I would like to know in which case I should use the above message.

#fetchLong32: ofObject: #fetchPointer: ofObject: #fetchByte: ofObject:

Last time I used fetchByte to get a pointer and it work. I think that fetchPointer should be more apropriate. and fetchLong32 should work too in a 32bit VM?

I notice also some other message like: #fetchArray: ofObject: #fetchFloat: ofObject: #fetchInteger: ofObject: but nobody seems to use it

I also wonder why they do not depend on the object header. So Header of all object have the sae size?

Also can you explain what the object header is composed? Especialy for the special one: CompiledMethod or may be MethodDictionary...

Thanks taking time to answer my questions.
