Hi folks. I was debugging a problem with Moose and I realized that 2 different methods can have the same CompiledMethod. This was weird for me. I don't know if this is correct or not.

For example, evaluate:

(InstructionClient>>#methodReturnTop) = (InstructionClient>>#doDup)�� ->� true

If you look at

CompiledMethod = aCompiledMethod�
�� "Answer whether the receiver implements the same code as aCompiledMethod."

�� | numLits |
�� self == aCompiledMethod
�� ifTrue: [ ^ true ].
�� self class = aCompiledMethod class
�� ifFalse: [ ^ false ].
�� self size = aCompiledMethod size
�� ifFalse: [ ^ false ].
�� self header = aCompiledMethod header
�� ifFalse: [ ^ false ].
�� self initialPC to: self endPC do: [ :i |
�� (self at: i) = (aCompiledMethod at: i)
�� ifFalse: [ ^ false ] ].
�� (self sameLiteralsAs: aCompiledMethod)
�� ifFalse: [ ^ false ].
�� self halt.
�� ^ true

It is returning in the last ^ true.

What was weird for me is that (self sameLiteralsAs: aCompiledMethod)� returns true also. But if I print both literals:

self literals ->� {#methodReturnTop. (#InstructionClient->InstructionClient)}

aCompiledMethod literals ->� {#doDup. (#InstructionClient->InstructionClient)}

So...for me they are differnt, but sameLiteralsAs:� is returning true. Debugging that, it seems that in that method it is returning in the last ^ true.

So...any hints? is this the expected behavior ?� or it is a bug ?

Thanks

Mariano
