in some places - are such methods creeping into base libraries now? What does that mean for other CPUs? Sorry, for changing subject - feel free to reply under different subject.
(replying Goran) Depends what you calling base libraries. Kernel, basic I/O is clean of it , and there's good reasons for keeping things that way.
And because i know how painful it can be to maintain custom assembler code, i would never use it if i could have better alternative. Oh.. what i trying to prove: i just using it because i can :P But it is of course for projects which under my direct control.. i didn't rewrote random parts of Pharo with assembler code.. and never will. :) -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko.
