Hi!

It took me a while to read this thread before answering. :)

With Camille we spent some hours this afternoon to take a look at this bug.

We added new test cases and managed to do a hack that solves all the issues we could spot. You can find a slice for it in the inbox
Now, we would like to have much more testing on it.

SLICE-Issue-14606-Cant-see-some-variables-values-while-debugging-closure-GuillermoPolito.2

Our conclusion looking at the issue is that some parts of Opal (particularly the parts that manage the temp mapping and the temp vector) should be rewritten. By the moment our fix looks more like a hack.

So the current status of this is "apparent" VM bug.�� Is it apparent enough that for now should I stop banging my head against it from the image side? �� ��

Actually I am working 10 hour shifts the next three weeks during the power station's annual maintenance outage, so my time is probably limited anyway.��

Thanks both of you for the energy you put into Pharo.
The tam really appreciates.
This is because there are guys like you that Pharo is worth being done.
Thanks for the tests.
Esteban has apparently found the bug on the VM.

Energy breeds energy.�� For me it was an opportunity to learn more deep stuff(tm) by digging with a goal.�� It remains a bit beyond me, but I'm happy if I've been able to beat the high grass enough to flush the tiger into the open where the marksman can take a shot at it.

Nice to flush out a VM bug (can't be too many of those left ;). �� Let us know when we can do testing on it. �� ��I guess I'll read more about it on [vm-dev].

If it's a VM bug, the VM folks would be really really interested by a bug report, especially if ever it may affect Eliot's branch.
Even if it's a Pharo only bug, it is still very interesting to know, because there's allways something to learn from a bug.
So I'm all ears...

cheers
