    This is an abstract class, to merge common attributes of all kinds of

    executable code objects; i.e. non-ST functions, Blocks and Methods

    and whatever there might be in the future.

    Instance variables:

      code        <not_an_object>   the function pointer to the machine code.

				    Not accessable from smalltalk code.

				    (notice the '*' in the instVarNames definition)

    Class variables:

      ExecutionErrorSignal          parent of all execution errors

				    (not raised itself)

      InvalidCodeSignal             codeObject is not executable

    NOTICE: layout known by runtime system and compiler - do not change
