Depending on the VM you use, different objects are passed by values.

Currently -> only smallintegers on Spur 32 bits VM -> smallintegers and characters on Spur 64 bits VM -> smallintegers, characters and smallfloat

But as Stef said it does not really matter in smalltalk.

Yes, even for these cases you pass the *reference*, only that the reference happens to encode the value. Marcus
