Re: [Pharo-dev] Images, VMs and 32 vs 64bit

Thanks!
I don't really care about the image format, my question was more oriented 
towards the code itself.  As I don't have a Mac, I was curious as to whether 
there would be code differences between platforms, VMs and 32 vs 64bit 
distributions, code-wise!

yesIt is the responsibility of the VM to contain the differences. Note that 
there's some "platform-specific" code, but the image contains the code for all 
platforms at once.Generally speaking you can code on one platform, copy the 
image files to another and continue your work (although doing this can cause 
trouble, as e.g. some file paths may now point to non-existing locations).You 
can download the images independently of the platform too (e.g. Pharo 6 images: 
http://files.pharo.org/image/60/ )
> VMs (32bit, 64bit)

yes?the files are different, but I don't know if there's code difference, or if 
the images are just built with different memory layouts

Subject: Images, VMs and 32 vs 64bit
I was wondering if images for different platforms (Mac, Linux, Windows) and VMs 
(32bit, 64bit) are, code-wise, the same?  By "the same", I mean do they all 
have the exact same code base or some classes/methods are in some and not in 
others or different?
