Hi
imagine that I want to bootstrap our nice kernel. I will need to somehow create a new nil, true, false, instances of new classes Undefined, True, False. Such instances will then be put on the SpecialObjectArray somehow.
Now I can create a dummy object playing such roles and then use SystemTracer to substitute my placeholder with the true nil falseâ¦. or another trick to swap them. Now anybody has other ideas?
I recall Michael van der Gulik bootstrapping his SecureSqueak a while back in a sort've "ab initio" kind of way. Maybe he can offer some insight? frank
