Smalltalk and tiered compile data

[Mark Roos]

Hi Rémi

Just a clarification on the switchpoint usage to invalidate sites.

The switch path would still do a setTarget correct?  So I am still sending 
lots of
setTargets just based on switch point state? 

It also seems that if the switch point is in series with the target that 
the callsite will not
invalidate until its next use.  Seems like this could spread the 
invalidations out over time
giving hotspot even more to do. 

Or am I not clear on how to do this?

thanks
mark
