heads-up on sqVirtualMachine harmonization

 
Hi All, but especially vm-devs,

That all sounds reasonable to me, although I'm not able to look at the
code right now. For me the litmus test is whether I can compile and run
a trunk interpreter VM on unix/linux using latest trunk SVN and VMMaker
(and/or fix the problems preventing one from doing so). As long as that
is the case I will be happy.

Getting rid of the odd variants in Cross/plugins/IA32ABI would definitely
be a good thing.

If you update the trunk VMMaker, please edit VMMaker class>>versionString
and give it some new value (probably change from '4.5.4' to '4.6.0' given
that it's a fairly noteworthy change).

I'll try to get caught up and help with any testing you may need as soon
as time permits.

     Sounds good, especially having a single sqVirtualMachine.h.

yeah.. harmonization, it would be good, Eliot if you take a look of
changes made in
VMMaker-oscog-MarianoMartinezPeck.66
and integrate them, so we will use common version.

They have a common ancestor -
VMMaker-oscog.54

Without this all of the following work will be lost:

Name: VMMaker-oscog-IgorStasenko.54

Add tests from VMMaker trunk to document various issues and verify
presence of primitives.

Merge VMMaker-oscog.dtl.58, and add #primitiveImageFormatVersion

Add primitiveMillisecondClockMask, an optional named primitive used in
conjunction with primitiveMillisecondClock for duration calculations.
The image assumes a value for this constant that is assumed to
correspond to the actual value used in the VM. This primitive permits
the VM to report the actual value being used.

Add primitiveImageFormatVersion, an optional named primitive answering
the image format number of the current image. This is the value stored
in the first word of an image file header when the image is saved, and
possibly modified on image load if the VM adds or removes capabilities
for the running image. This primitive was added to VMMaker trunk in
VMMaker-dtl.169. Rationale: supports float word order handing for
image segments, reference

Re-save from VMMaker-oscog-EstebanLorenzano.62 because
VMMaker-oscog-dtl.61 and VMMaker-oscog-dtl.60 were saved without
correct ancestry. This version incorporates the changes from
VMMaker-oscog-EstebanLorenzano.62, VMMaker-oscog-dtl.61, and
VMMaker-oscog-dtl.60.

Name: VMMaker-oscog-EstebanLorenzano.62
-added ClipboardExtendedPlugin as a regular plugin (taken from the
InterpreterVM branch)
I don't know if it works right now, but at least it compiles :)

Name: VMMaker-oscog-dtl.61
A second batch of updates from VMM trunk, primarily cosmetic but also
a class comment update and a couple of methods that had not previously
been pragmatized in oscog.

Name: VMMaker-oscog-dtl.60
These changes are methods from the main VMM branch for which
<#var:#type:> declarations have been formatted with proper spacing. By
updating these in the oscog branch, all of these methods are identical
in both branches. All changes are cosmetic (no functional changes to
the methods).

Adapt VMMakerTool so that it doesnt try to register in the menu if
TheWorldMenu is not present, like the case of Pharo. This change was
already integrated in the main trunk of VMMaker but since Eliot forked
VMMaker-oscog before that, it was not there.

It doesn't affect Squeak
