On Ma
bytes 28 to 31: image flags, conventional VMs use only bit 0, Cog also uses bits 1 through 4 bit 0: 1 => open full screen, 0 => open using width & height bit 1: 1 => image floats are in little-endian format, 0=> image floats are in big-endian format bit 2: 1 => Process's 4th inst var (after myList) is threadId to be used by the VM for overlapped calls
bit 3: 1 => set the flag bit on methods that the VM will only interpret (because they're considered too big to JIT) bit 4: 1 => preempting a process does not put it to the back of its run queue
I was not clear how to read bit 3: 1 this information is not in the compiledMethods? Stef
