This idea keeps popping up, but I just thought a Dis to native code compiler would achieve the same result without bloating the kernel. Perhaps it could even be built into Inferno, if the JIT compiler could be modified to output an object file instead of running the code. I'm not sure if that's reasonable; I was just thinking of avoiding duplication of a large, possibly hard to maintain component. ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T1c300cdbd9941edb-Ma8c141f7b291b014bcfcc676 Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
