CogVM binaries as per VMMaker.oscog-eem.1155/r3306

Retract the decision to type the results of the bitwise operators as unsigned;

it broke at least the BitBlt plugin.

Integrate primitiveIsBigEnder & Nicolas' fix for safer

primitiveAdoptInstance & primitiveScanCharacters

Mark relevant feature test methods in CogAbstractInstruction as <inline: true>.

Spur: Make sure that all stacked values are followed in CoInterpreter>>

makeBaseFrameFor: for stale self refs in super sends.  Make sure the stack is

scanned after a pin operation that involves forwarding.  Make sure that the

unforwarding stack scan post-become (or post-pin) scans all of the stack

contents in the CoInterpreter, since super sends have no read barrier.

Mark copyToOldSpace:bytes:format: as not to be inlined so as to avoid impacting

copyAndForward's icache density.

Newspeak:

Add Ryan's new self-send bytecodes.  Use NSSendCache for IRC representation.
