The only problem is that you can't swap-out a method that's used by the swap-in code.
Yes, but that's easy to solve. Before swapping everything, I "simulate" the swapping of a dummy CompiledMethod. During that, I mark all the CompiledMethods that were used to perform that. And then, I exclude those objects from being swapped :)
That won't work, because during the simulation you'll only try a single execution path. Swapping in a real method may invoke methods that weren't used during the simulation. For example my implementation uses #storeString to serialize the methods and Compiler >> #evaluate: to deserialize them. So during deserialization a lot of different methods may be invoked. Levente
