Closed iglosiggio closed 5 months ago

image := PowertalkRingImage fromSpec
  wordSize: 8;
  genesis;
  bootstrap;
  fillClasses;
  fillSymbols.
bootstrapper := image generateLMR.
bootstrapper useHostModuleLoader.
runtime := bootstrapper result.

str1 := (runtime newString: '').
strClass := runtime sendLocal: #class to: str1.
str2 := runtime sendLocal: #new to: strClass.

If I try to inspect str2 my image ends up freezing.

This was my fault due to some changes I did on LMRObject (an implementation of asLocalString)
