Hi Stef, Thanks for the support.
I don't know if there is a way to do that for FFI except if you somehow modify the methods during execution to include the arguments in the method itself instead of relying on the source code for reflection. What would help in the meantime is to have a VM that is headless all the time (something like a forced --headless parameter), otherwise it is really easy for somebody to remove the --headless parameter and fire your image and navigate your code with all the power a Smalltalk IDE provides. Is there a way to compile a VM with such an option? (basically a HeadlessPharoConsole.exe). Regards! Esteban A.
