we are interested in a Smalltalk based image writer too :) So far we did not went far and just focus on playing with SystemDictionary Hi All,
I'm looking for information on the image file format, something that tells me the layout. A little like this:
+--------+ ! version ! +--------+ ! count ! +--------+
etc. I can glean this information from the Squeak C sources but I'm wanting some additional information for validation. Maybe it is in the blue book but I have also read that Squeak varies on this a little.
Also - what is a Compact Class Array section of the image file?
Compact classes are classes whose representation is optimized and normally you can have up to 5 bits (32) compact classes in the system. I reminder that eliot mentioned that he would like to kill compact classes. Would be good to have a system less complex. Stef
