"does the VM try to detect which sound backend it should be using?" not as far as I'm aware. Having such a system would be great. Look at platforms/unix/vm/sqUnixMain.c and...

You might find you have to add a function to struct Sound, such as isModulePreferred or some such to allow sqUnixMain to query the available sound modules so that they...

Hi Fabio, two issues here. One is that I don’t think space is precious anymore. I *think* the vm stores the image header size in the first or second 32-bit...

Hi Tobias, I very much want to keep the class table, free lists, finalization queue, mark stack etc hidden. These are very much implementation dependent, and revealing them to the...

Hi Christoph, the VM maintains a circular buffer of the most recent 256 invoked non-JIT primitives, the primitive trace log. This is sometimes a useful clue to what the VM...

But it is important to note that any wrapping can be done in the iOS code and should not be e.g. pushed further out to the VM code. Why isn't...

Hi Fabio, I'd love to take a look at this. But how do I go from { "os": "osx", "script": "./prepare.sh", "language": "smalltalk", "osx_image": "xcode7.3", "smalltalk": "Squeak64-trunk" } to what's...
