I came across this class variable. I was wondering what it was all about.

Hi Richard,
-- I wanted to get you an answer...thought I'm not sure its the best one because I haven't been in this area a whole lot. It looks like IndirectInstVars comes into play when packaging an image. I guess with IC read-only segments and the fact that a runtime can have multiple ICs, there is a problem to solve involving objects referring to each other across boundaries. This IndirectInstVars seems to provide a central registry where these can be accessed and during packaging I see that bytecodes are rewritten such that the slots read/store indexes into this table which then get the actual value. Looking at packager code makes my eyes bleed and puts me in a bad mood...so I had to stop:) Just consider this a best guess for the moment. -- Seth On Friday, November 21, 2014 5:43:40 PM UTC-5, Richard Sargent wrote:

Thanks, Seth. It's appreciated.
That does sound sensible.
I agree ... and sympathize. Thanks again.
