I will wait that somebody with VM building knowledge reply. I imagine that these two methods are handy when you want to debug a primitive in Squeak before generating C code. Stef On Dec 24, 2008, at 2:10 PM, Alexandre Bergel wrote:
Adding 'Beeper beep' in the body of these two empty methods does not produce any sound. This is normal since methods that use these methods are primitive. Now, we could remove these two methods from Object, but it would be wise to leave the calls in the body of primitive methods.
Could be a good example for aspects by the way.

Hi
I'm trying to learn something while reading Object methods. I was wondering whether var: varSymbol declareC: declString and inline: should not be put as Object extension in VMMaker instead of been kept in Object. Now I saw that these methods have senders in the image. Does it mean that part of the code of these senders can be executed when we consider that these two methods are doing nothing? This could be used to debug the code before generating C from it. are my hypotheses correct?
