It doesn't make sense to wrap a container in a container :) Currently in stable-2.0, the code is Guile 2.0 stack machine code, and the container is .go. In master, the code is stack machine code, and the container is ELF. In wip-rtl, the code is RTL code, and the container is ELF, and constants and such have their own sections in the ELF. There are some 12 or 14 sections per file. > Maybe it's possible to try a naive AOT compiler now. I think now is probably not the time. I do think we will do native compilation soon but probably not for 2.2. I don't think we will be able to change the VM, assembler, linker, loader, disassembler, and compiler, *and* add support for native compilation (for some architectures) in the 2.2 series.
