Get a symbol pointer une VMMaker

 

Hi,

I am trying to hack some method and I would like to send a message to  
a Squeak object in the VM.
How the reification works between the VM and the Squeak word?

I could do somethigs like:

        messageSelector := "Pointer to the symbol I don't know how to  
retrieve."
        argumentCount := 1
        self normalSend.

Thanks

        Mth

I don't think you can call the interpreter from within a primitive.  
The only way for this would be Andreas' callback support.

Perhaps you can give a little more context about what you are trying  
to do?

Well for example I want to send to Transcript the method #show:

Write it to the console, that's certainly ways simple ;-)
