I have written a tool (Pharo5) where user gives an input file to it, where the content is a smalltalk code, a DSL. I used a subclass of CodeImporter class to evaluate this input file.
Recently my user used an input file where it hit the 256 literal limit (total of unique string, number, method name, etc), down in OpalEncoderForV3PlusClosures >> genPushLiteral:. The number seems to be hard coded and related to byte code generator, not something I can simply increase. I wasn't aware of this limitation. Before I overhaul my tool, I thought I should ask. Is there another alternative to evaluate a smalltalk file/script? The file is small, 27k, but the number of unique literals in it is > 256. Is it possible at all, seeing that the limit is related to byte code generator. Thank you in advance -- Andreas Sunardi
