[Mono-dev] vbc compiler treats AscW as CInt with /novbruntimeref

[Rolf Bjarne]

Hi,

You are correct, vbc is special-cased in order to compile the VB runtime,  
however it only saves a method call, since Convert.ToInt32(Char) does what  
the vbc compiled AscW(Char) does. And if you are concerned about  
performance there are a lot of other places in the compiler and the  
runtime that can be improved with much better results!
