10 years back the VM source was in the image, this included vmmaker and an encoded zip file for all the C source files need to build the VM on the platform, aka macintosh.
Out of that the vmVersion primitive would just return the update number of the image used to build the VM because they were synchronized. Today that number has little meaning, and is different on each platform, since it reflects the image used to build the VM, and says nothing about which version of vmmaker was used to make the VM. http://isqueak.org/getAttributeIntoLength On 9-Aug-09, at 10:08 AM, Damien Cassou wrote: > 2009/8/9 Stéphane Ducasse <[email protected]>: >> So I do not know what to think.
