Hi folks. Sorry for the cross-post, I am not sure if it is image or vm
problem.
If I implement this:
SmallInteger >> initialize
self addInstVarName: 'Zaraza'.
I have the error: 'SmallInteger cannot be changed'
This is because SmallInteger is in the ClassBuilder >> tooDangerousClasses
and the error is in ClassBuilder >> name: className inEnvironment: env
subclassOf: newSuper type: type instanceVariableNames: instVarString
classVariableNames: classVarString poolDictionaries: poolString category:
category unsafe: unsafe
Now....since this is Smalltalk, I can just comment something, continue, or
any other kind of hack so that I can add class variables to SmallInetger.
For my CompiledMethod proxies stuff, I am using SmallIntegers and I have
some crashes (one is due to a corrupt heap and Eliot said something about
sizes)...I wonder if this is related to this...So the question is: is
really SMallInteger a too dangerous class so that it cannot be changed? not
even adding a class variable??? does the VM assume that the class
SmallInetger has a fixed size? if true, where?
Thanks in advance
Mariano
