Virtual Machines (VMs) are critical language execution engines. When tooling the VM level, developers face an important abstraction gap. For instance, a VM supporting an Object-oriented Programming language often manipulates its memory using addresses whereas these addresses are hidden in the language this VM supports. This discourages tooling at the VM level. We propose to use language level object ordinary pointer (LLOOP) to reduce the abstraction gap. LLOOP combine VM level and language level knowledge at the VM level to ease VM tooling. We present our implementation on the Pharo language, which is supported by the Pharo VM. Moreover, we created two tools solving two real-world major bugs in the Pharo environment. These tools required VM level support. First, we investigate how to fix a meta error that was breaking a Pharo environment, preventing it to open. We repair the broken environment by tracking and fixing the language level method responsible for the error at the VM level. Second, we investigate a corrupted Pharo image. A few objects in the Pharo memory space were corrupted i.e., the VM was not able to read and manipulate them. We are able to identify and remove the corrupted objects, fixing the Pharo environment.
