Hi All,

I'm looking at some low level details of Pharo Smalltalk and I am wondering,
when I see a primitive in the bytecode, is it safe to assume that before
the primitive is executed, the receiver and any args to the method are pushed
onto the stack?

As far as I understand, yes. Check in VMMaker package, look in Interpreter class and check some primitives.

But I am not a VMMaker expert....

cheers
