Hello, Currently the idea is to put the source file as a compressed AST in the image. The status is: - standard AST is 300Mb for the whole image, which is too much - standard AST with nodes shared between RBMethodNodes (made by Camille) is 16Mb, so already half the size of the current sources - same as last one but with additional bit compression: not done yet ! It should be around 4Mb (but that's a lucky guess), growing the size of the image from 16Mb to 20Mb, which is okay. The source file should not be in the VM. One image can use only 1 source file, but 1 VM can run several images using different source files. Therefore you would need to add multiple source files in the VM, which ends up nowhere. 2013/11/12 Stéphane Ducasse <stephane.ducasse@inria.fr>
you want as less as possible thing in the vm.

Hi!
Why not to include this file in the VM? It often happens to me that this place is wrongly placed. When this happens, Pharo just shows a white screen, without letting what is the error.
