Hi,
finally I'm able to suggest a possible implementation of the TaggedArray,
earlier proposed on this mailing list by Jim Laskey [1].
The implementation includes a Java implementation (two actually) and an
intrisified VM implementation. The VM implementation
has intrinsics for the server/C2 com
Nice to see progress.
I was just thinking about the use model for these in my app and found
three obvious uses:
To hold the temps on the stack frame ( TaggedArray of
TaggedArrays + primitives )
To hold the instance vars of a class
To collect arguments for a method send (

Or a tagged array for the stac
