Hi Stef, Hi All,

    got it; thanks.  First thing I want to suggest is the following:

Smalltalk compactClassesArray

{CompiledMethod . MethodProperties . Array . PseudoContext . LargePositiveInteger . Float . MethodDictionary . Association . Point . Rectangle . ByteString . AnObsoleteTranslatedMethod . BlockContext . MethodContext . nil . Bitmap . nil . nil . nil . nil . nil . nil . nil . nil . nil . nil . nil . nil . nil . nil . nil}

The StackVM and CogVM have updated this for speed.  So make it look like 

 #(CompiledMethod MethodProperties Array LargeNegativeInteger LargePositiveInteger Float MethodDictionary Association Point Rectangle ByteString BlockClosure BlockContext MethodContext nil Bitmap nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil)

i.e. replace PseudoContext with LargeNegativeInteger, AnObsoleteTranslatedMethod with BlockClosure.  This will poise Pharo for use of the StackVM when it is released.

You can find it at

       http://gforge.inria.fr/frs/?group_id=1299
       then you should take the pharo and not pharo-dev
       then you should do update (in system -> software update)

This reminds me to ask you for a location from which to download the latest Pharo image ith closures so I can check the compiler changes I've made against the image and send you them.  This will be easier and less error-prone than my e.g. extracting the packages we use here and you having to work out the changes.


mmm latest pharo image
