One thing I want to ask before proceeding too far: I made a large
number of small changes in VMMaker-dtl.173 and VMMaker-dtl.174. These
are to ompile a VM for either 32-bit or 64-bit image from a single
generated code base.
Do these changes cause problems for anyone else? Especially, do they
make COG integration difficult? Or any other VM development projects
that are relying on VMMaker not being changed too much?
The Cog changes are substantial and any additional changes to the base VMMaker for 64-bit will likely not add to the difficulty of the merge. We'll have to go back to the common ancestor of current Squeak VMMaker and Cog and sift out fixes from new functionality, and I expect it to take some effort. So please don't worry about the effect on Cog and keep making improvements.

I don't expect this to be a problem, but I don't want to assume it
without asking.
Thanks,
