Ok, will let you know. pd: Maybe this could be useful to put in the native boost installation page , Gofer it squeaksource: 'MetacelloRepository' ; package: 'ConfigurationOfVMMaker' ; load (Smalltalk globals classNamed: 'ConfigurationOfVMMaker' ) load. pd: what about doing a ConfigurationOfNativeBoostInstaller?

And oh, Magma also has of course binary serialization stuff in it - so worth looking at from that perspective too. regards, GÃ¶ran

[Pharo-project] Automatic testing in different images

by Martin Dias

Hello, I'm working on a prototype for binary serialization of objects, and I would like to do tests and benchmarks for serializing on a stream in one image and de-serialize them in another, maybe with different conditions (other version, VM, etc). Could you recommend me how to do that in an automatic way? Thanks Martin
