That would be nice indeed. And you can do it if you simulate the VM, i.e., run the interpreter inside an image as Smalltalk code. To get the interpreter working may be challenging, though. I once had a working version and submitted some patches to Mantis. I don't think these were integrated, though. Also note that in the debugger you just see pointers and not objects, so even with the Smalltalk debugger it can get complicated to debug the VM.

Yes, I am newbie with low stuff like this. I have downloaded VMMaker and browse the class Interpreter to see the smalltalk (slang) code of the primitives I want to investigate that are primitiveStoreImageSegment and primitiveLoadImageSegment.....now, the question is, should I be able to put a self halt there and debug it? I tried but I did nothing. Is this possible ? I thought it was :(
Thanks for the help.
