How to prevent Pharo from executing a #startUp-Method of a class?

Question

I added a startUp-Method to one of my classes that immediatelly quits my image. Is there a way to prevent Pharo from executing that method so that I can fix it?

Answer 1

No, this is an issue of ongoing discussion. See this post on the Pharo mailing list.

Your only way to recover the image is to hack the VM, which I describe here. If you go that route, use the stack VM instead of the JIT (the same thread explains why further down).
