[Cuis-dev] Cuis on SqueakJS (was: Bitmap size mismatch)

[Vanessa Freudenberg]

Hi Juan,

primitive 184 (Object>>pin) was missing. I added that to the VM as a no-op
answering true and now it works.

There is no HostWindowPlugin, that's why there is an error when resizing
the window.

Spur Cuis is slower than necessary because there is a full GC
in VectorEngineDrawer>>pvtSetForm:. So it often collects garbage manually
which is slow (you can see that if you open the JS console).

This link uses a spur image:

And btw there's actually a bug in th v3 image: Behavior>>identityHash
should be deleted, since in v3 there is no primitive 175.
