Accessing Virtual machine internal?

Hi!

Is there a way to get access to the VM internals? For example the size of the method cache and the number of JIT-compiled methods?

Cheers,
Alexandre

I don't know about the method cache siize, but for the number of JIT-Compiled methods is a primitive (a VMParameter)

Yes.

Evaluate "Smalltalk vm parameterAt: 46" it should get you the machine code zone size.

You can look into the comment in the VirtualMachine class or in VirtualMachine>>getParameters method comment to see what VM internal is available.
