    Contexts represent the stack frame objects, which keep the processing

    state of a method or block (i.e. its local variables, temporaries etc.)

    Every message send adds a context to a chain, which can be traced back via

    the sender field. The context of the currently active method is always

    accessible via the pseuodoVariable called 'thisContext'.

    The actual implementation uses the machines stack for this, building real

    contexts on demand only, whenever a contexts is needed. Also, initially these are

    allocated on the stack and only moved to the heap, when a context outlives its

    activation.

    For both method- and block-contexts, the layout is the same.

    For method contexts, the home-field is nil, while for block contexts the home-

    field is either the context of its surrounding block (i.e. the context of the

    block, in which the receiving block was created, if its a nested block) or of

    its home method.

    Cheap blocks are blocks which do not refer to any locals or the receiver (currently),

    but only access globals, class vars or arguments (for example: [:a :b | a < b] is a cheap block).

    Cheap blocks do not need a home and therefore never require that their home context be moved

    to the heap. Contexts of cheap blocks do not have a home context - their home field is also nil.

    LineNumbers vs. program counter:

    Due to the compilation to machine code, methods and/or block do not

    always (actually: do seldom) contain bytecodes. Thus, there is no such concept

    as a bytecode p-counter. To support debugging, the linenumber within the

    original source is instead remembered when a send or loop entry is performed.

    Since linenumbers are not always sufficient for debugging (multiple sends in one

    line), this may be changed in future versions to a character offset, giving

    the position of the selector in the source.

    Restartable / Returnable contexts:

    In previous versions (up to ST/X 2.10.5), every method stored enough

    information in the context for that one to be restartable later (for example,

    via the debugger's restart button). As stc is supposed to generate portable C-code,

    this means that technically, a setjmp needs to be done at the beginning of the method

    in order to have a resumable (and portable) state (however, inline asm code does this setjmp,

    so it is much faster than the libc-setjmo, which stores a lot of additional state, not needed here).

    With 2.10.6, this is now an stc-compiler option, and the system as delivered is compiled

    to only create restartable contexts for those which contain blocks or are marked as special

    via a directive.

    This resulted in an overall speedup of roughly 10-20% percent, depending on the type of CPU.

    However, it makes most methods non-restartable (however, abort, signal handling and unwind blocks

    work as usual).

    In practice, this was reported to be not a severe limitation and all users were happy

    to trade the increased performance for that slight inconvenience.

    (during development, this is seldom a problem, since interpreted methods are always

     returnable and restartable)

    If you do not like this, you should recompile all classes with stc's '-optContext' flag.

    Resuming contexts:

    Strictly speaking, ST/X does not support a context to be resumed (because the setjmp is

    not done on the caller side, but in the callee).

    However, it does support a forced return (i.e. non-local-return) from a context.

    Thus, resume of a context is implemented by forcing a return from the context

    which was created by the method called from the first one. The effect is the same.

    Returning from a dead method:

    Block-return from an outlived context (i.e. its home method has already returned)

    is now rewarded by an invalidReturn exception - it used to be a noop in previous

    releases. The blue book described this to be a noop, but other Smalltalk implementations

    changed this to be an invalid operation - a good decision, as it makes debugging much easier.

    [instance variables:]

        flags       <SmallInteger>          used by the VM; never touch.

                                            contains info about number of args,

                                            locals and temporaries.

        sender      <Context>               the 'calling / sending' context

                                            This is not directly accessible, since it may

                                            be a lazy context (i.e. an empty frame).

                                            The #sender method cares for this.

        home        <Context>               the context, where this block was

                                            created, or nil if its a method context

                                            There are also cheap blocks, which do

                                            not need a reference to the home context,

                                            for those, its nil too.

        receiver    <Object>                the receiver of this message

        selector    <Symbol>                the selector of this message

        searchClass <Class>                 the class, where the message lookup started

                                            (for super sends) or nil, for regular sends.

        lineNr      <SmallInteger>          the position where the context left off

                                            (kind of p-counter). Only the low 16bits

                                             are valid.

        retValTemp  nil                     temporary - always nil, when you see the context

                                            (used in the VM as temporary)

        handle      *noObject*              used by the VM; not accessible, not an object

        method                              the corresponding method

        <indexed>                           arguments of the send followed by

                                            locals of the method/block followed by

                                            temporaries.

    [errors:]

        CannotReturnError                   raised when a block tries

                                            to return ('^') from a method context

                                            which itself has already returned

                                            (i.e. there is no place to return to)
