As far as I know, there is no browse, but instead a #asCString and #asCString: but I may be wrong. I tried to make it work the SlangBrowser because I was developing a VMLearningKit which has a browser to display source code, bytecodes and C code but I couldn't make it work because I couldn't find a way to the the associated translated C code of a method. Anyway, you can see:

Hi Bernardo,

SlangBrowser works only with Squeak and with trunk VMMaker.

There is no separate browser to open, it just adds to the existing browser
functionality.

For a browser in Squeak, the square button on the right that says "source"
is used to select various display options, such "source", "documentation",
or "byteCodes". When SlangBrowser is loaded, you get additional options for
"translate to C" and "translate inlined C". This allows you to browse the
Smalltalk VM source, and view the C version of each method at any time
exactly as it will appear in the generated sources.

As someone who is struggling to learn how to create custom asembler code
using NativeBoost, the ability to compile short C routines directly in
Squeak would be amazing.

If you follow http://www.squeakvm.org/unix/devel.html , SlangBrowser is included. Only "VMMaker initializeBrowserSupport" is necessary.
