Where is BytecodeGenerator?

Hi list,

What image/VM I should use to get WriteBarrier working (methods contains
references to non-existent BytecodeGenerator class)? Documentation says
that it should be Squeak 3.7 which means VM v. 3.7 or image v. 3.7?
Currently, I use VM ver.3.7
(http://ftp.squeak.org/current_stable/win/Squeak-Win32-3.7.1-VM.zip)
and developement image (http://damien.cassou.free.fr/squeak-dev)

That always means an image version 3.7. VM version is
independent of image version, even though they mirror each
other. Any image version should work with any VM between the
latest VM, and the VM that was released with it.

Thx for the explanation. I've just downloaded sources of Squeak v. 3.7
(the image) and it DOES NOT contain BytecodeGenerator (should it?)

So, I downoladed full installation of Squeak3.7 (binaries and image),
ran SqueakMap Package Loader and....ended up with dialog which happily says:
"Reading an instance of ByteSymbol. Which modern class should it
translate to? a) Let me type the new name now; b) Let me think about it;
c) Let me find a conversion file on the disk". ????!!!!!!. The system
browser poped-up with its whole majesty & glory displaying such a piece
of miracle code:

byteSymbolx0

        ^ PutNewClassHere

Of course SqueakMap Package Loader IS NOT installing anything any more.
Thanx.

Does it mean something? The image is corrupted? The sources file is
corrupted? It's a joke, isn't it?

It's becoming funnier every minute I spent on Squeak...really. Simply,
anything which I'm interested in is unusable. First Magma smart start-up
objects strangle the whole system, now GOODS Smalltalk interface calls
for enigmatic BytecodeGenerator which exists - somewhere in space. When
I politely download the required version (with this
Byte<something>Generator) - I'm expected to find a class for a symbol
?????? It's a joke for sure but I do not have enough sense of humor...

So, my question is still valid: WHERE IS the BytecodeGenerator ????? How
can I install this class and its heirs on current, modest, three point
seve/eight/nine image? Somebody help me please.

D.

...however, this unexpected question ("What name ByteSymbol class should
have?") does not prevent me from file-ing out the BytecodeGenerator
WHICH appeared in full 3.7 image! Wow! I'm happy now. Now it's time to
file it in and ....

My advice is don't use 3.7 and older images.

Thanx. Currently I use 3.8 and 3.9. Now I have a question about package
UNinstalling.
Is it possible to UNinstall a package by a one-click (it may be red,
yellow or purple or whatever)? I did not find such a feature in SM
Package Loader. Or it's just a matter of removing several class
categories using SystemBrowser?
Sometimes packages decorate some previously installed classes with extra
methods (like Maui for example adding #maui message to classes
protocol). So, I'd be happy to uninstall a package with necessary clean-up.
Is it possible in Squeak?

... which I started several minutes ago. It uses sockets and displays
dots on Transcipt window and I expect to stop it in some way. How can I
do this? Now everything is non-responsive, only dots keep showing in
Transcript window. Help!

You'll need to use the Process Browser. In the World menu, select
Open, and then Process Browser. Select the offending process,
alt-click, and select terminate.

Thx, but the point is that the Squeak world DOES NOT RESPOND to mouse or
keyboard signals (but is alive'cause the process producess the output).
So, there's no chance to use anthing from any menu. I thought Squeak has
 some ways to rescue a user from such things.

You tried "alt + ."? This keyboard combination is the equivalent in
Squeak for the infamous "ctrl + alt + del".
