[Mono-dev] Status of non-full AOT on x86 mac

[Brian Luczkiewicz]

I have a cross-platform (osx+mono/ms.net) app that runs a large piece of
generated code at startup--on windows, 95% of the runtime of this code is in
the JIT compiler and ngen improves startup time for this app dramatically. I
was hoping to try out --aot and potentially see a corresponding improvement
in startup time on osx.

Sadly, AOT is locked behind if !defined(__apple__) on x86, even on mono 2.8.

So:

1. Are there plans to enable aot on x86 osx?

2. If not, what work is required to get this done? I'm not opposed to
getting my hands dirty.
