you could take any method and just do
#copyWithTrailerBytes:
with any trailer you would like to test.

Thanks. I don't understand how I can create a trailer with tempNames. Actually, I don't understand what string to pass as tempNames. In your #testEmbeddingTempNames� you do:

code := 'testEmbeddingSourceCode

�� | trailer newTrailer code |
��
�� trailer := CompiledMethodTrailer new.
��
�� trailer sourceCode: code.
�� newTrailer := trailer testEncoding.
��
�� self assert: (newTrailer sourceCode = code).'.

��
trailer tempNames: code.

But I am not sure if that's correct. What does it means? that as temp names I send the full source code?� I tried and doesn't work.
And then, I read the following method which says something about writing the tempNames with a particular way:

schematicTempNamesString

"Answer the temp names for the current method node in a form that captures
�� temp structure.� The temps at each method and block scope level occur
�� space-separated, with any indirect temps enclosed in parentheses.� Each block
�� level is enclosed in square brackets.� e.g.
�� 'method level temps (indirect temp)[block args and temps (indirect)]'
�� This representation can be reconstituted into a blockExtentsToTempsMap
�� by a CompiledMethod that has been copied with the schematicTempNamesString."

You can also look at CompiledMethodTrailerTest for examples (see #testEncoding).

As for finding pointers.. have you tried to use pointer finder? :)
(it means i can't help with it more than you already know).

Yeah, I tried it. But maybe I am not seeing something :(
If you want to try it by yourself, just take any Pharo1.3 image like: https://pharo-ic.lille.inria.fr/hudson/view/Pharo/job/Pharo%201.3/128/artifact/Pharo-1.3.zip

And explore any of the pointers of
((CompiledMethod allInstances select:� [:each | each trailer kind = #VarLengthSourcePointer] ) )

thanks for the effort
