Yakov found a bug in Exupery 0.08. It is is not possible to save the
image after loading Exupery using a stock VM. This is because Exupery
now needs to clean up the code cache before saving and that code calls
an Exupery primitive.
The work-around is to modify the method Exupery>>shutDown
shutDown
self initialiseExupery
Either comment out the call to initialiseExupery or use #on:do:
to catch all errors.
Because of this bug, I'm now preparing to release the current
development code. After running the stress test, I've caught a bug in
my current implementation of #at:. I'm going to fix this the release.
Exupery 0.09 has dynamically inlined primitives. It can only compile
#at: and #at:put: for pointer objects and instance variable getter
primitives. More primitives are coming, but this bug deserves a
release and I'd rather release the current development work than
back-port a fix. A good back port would only touch two methods and a
hacked fix would touch one method.
