I'm exploring the exception support in VM, and found two strange
primitives used by BlockClosure, which simply fail and doing nothing.
primitiveMarkUnwindMethod
"Primitive. Mark the method for exception unwinding. The primitive
must fail after marking the context so that the regular code is run."
self inline: false.
^self primitiveFail
primitiveMarkHandlerMethod
"Primitive. Mark the method for exception handling. The primitive
must fail after marking the context so that the regular code is run."
self inline: false.
^self primitiveFail
Any ideas, why they still in use? Can there be something in between,
when interpreter enters the method? Or, if nothing, then why they
still there? :)
