Your code snippet is comparing the associations. The below one evaluates to true:�

Yes, but the literals of CompiledMethod that refer to classes should have the SAME association as Smalltalk globals. In fact, that's the reason why we have:

Association >> #literalEqual: otherLiteral
�� "Answer true if the receiver and otherLiteral represent the same literal.

�� ^self == otherLiteral

instead of the Object implementation.

(Smalltalk globals associationAt: #ScriptLoader) == ((SmalltalkImage >> #shrinkToCore) literalAt: 4)
gives false when it should be true.� If I do a Compiler recompileAll it gets fixed. So, my question is, is that normal? how could that happen?
is there any real problem behind?

anyway, can we do a recompileAll for the moment?

thanks!
