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

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

    Instance variables:

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

				  Not accessable from smalltalk code.

    flags       <SmallInteger>    special flag bits coded in a number

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