The Trunk: Kernel-ct.1382.mcz

commits-2
Marcel Taeumel uploaded a new version of Kernel to project The Trunk:
http://source.squeak.org/trunk/Kernel-ct.1382.mcz

==================== Summary ====================

Name: Kernel-ct.1382
Author: ct
Time: 15 March 2021, 1:52:03.249869 pm
UUID: e108423f-661f-4d4f-9ad8-c667c3995b32
Ancestors: Kernel-mt.1381

Proposal: Revises usage and handling of primitive 19, also known as the simulation guard. Don't use it in #newProcess and variants since they don't involve any actual control logic. Instead, also show a simulation warning when debugging a control primitive (primitiveSignal primitiveWait primitiveResume primitiveSuspend). Improves integration of simulation guard warnings by signaling a Warning on the simulator stack rather than spawning a debugger on the debugged process. This also makes it easier to handle these warnings in a non-interactive context. See http://forum.world.st/Simulation-guard-lt-primitive-19-gt-crashes-the-image-td5127443.html and http://forum.world.st/Please-try-out-Fixes-for-debugger-invocation-during-code-simulation-td5127684.html for more information.

Reuploaded to resolve merge conflict with Kernel-mt.1381. Replaces Kernel-ct.1381, which can be moved into the treated inbox.
