I did answer, nor do I, but recent cache coherency discussion could imply, that eg. this wouldn't be to bad.
I thought of:
- a PMC is a handle (index) into
- array of pointers (e.g. 7 pointers intersparsed with 7*4bit DOD flags)
- pointing to differently sized PMC thingys, strings et al could then be inline, saving the extra indirection.
Are there any previous discussions, thoughts or "we can't" about double indirection?
Google didn't reveal anything.
