[Mono-list] CIL

[Guenther Roith]

Hi, Freddy!

Yes, it's strange.

Still asking why p.net exists can easily renew the problems between p.net
and mono.
p.net and mono are on the road to work together.

I'm not even sure which was first, p.net or mono.

Thats right.
But where is the advantage of this indirection?
I don't belive, that compiling IL-Code in memory-space to CVM and compiling
CVM to native-code, that this is faster then the direct compiling of IL-code
to native-code (in memory).

And _if_ this indirection is faster: Why don't mono the same?
And if it is _not_ faster (what I think): Why choose p.net this way?

And where is the advatage of p.net in comparison to mono?
I don't see any advantage. (I have never understood, why the p-net project
exists, because there exists mono)


To this, what you have cite, it seems, that compiling CVM-bytecode directly
to native-code is faster then compiling .net-bytecode directly to
native-code.

In this case I ask myself, why p.net don't use the CVM-bytecode _instead_
the IL-code. Why existing no compiler which save the CVM-bytecode on disc,
so that this code is that, what can be startet?

If the CVM-Bytecode is realy better then the IL-code, why don't create p.net
not its own VM, which needs its own Bytecode-files instead of trying to
start .net- and Java-programs direct (with the JIT-detour over CVM)?
