Hi folks. I would like to know which are the messages that are not really executed, thus not being intercepted by proxies.
So far, I know:

1)�� MessageNode >> initialize
�� MacroSelectors :=
�� #(�� ifTrue: ifFalse: ifTrue:ifFalse: ifFalse:ifTrue:
�� and: or:
�� whileFalse: whileTrue: whileFalse whileTrue
�� to:do: to:by:do:
�� caseOf: caseOf:otherwise:
�� ifNil: ifNotNil:� ifNil:ifNotNil: ifNotNil:ifNil:).

those are inlined by the compiler...

2)� Special shorcut bytecodes that are in "Smalltalk specialSelectors" / "ParseNode classVarNamed:� 'StdSelectors'"� / "Smalltalk specialObjectsArray at: 24"

Here I have a question...if I understand correctly, in this list of selectors there are 3 cases:

2.1)� methods may or may not be executed depending on the receiver/arguments. For example
1 + 2� will never send the message #+ to 1.
but 1 + 'mariano'�� will do.

2.2) methods that are NEVER sent,�� like #class and #==

2.3) methods that are ALWAYS sent, like #new, #next, #nextPut:, #size, etc.

So...did I understand correclty this part?

are there more cases where a message may not be really executed?

thanks

Mariano
