[Mono-list] What is Dwarf???

[Jonathan Pryor]

Dwarf is a file format for debugging information.  It is commonly used
on Unix-like systems.

Managed code is code that runs within mono/.NET.  It's stored in an
intermediate language (CIL), is garbage collected, has array checking,
and lots of other nice goodies.

Unmanaged code is a synonym for native code, which is everything that
isn't managed. :-)  Anything generated by gcc is unmanaged, for
example.  Arguably, "unmanaged" means "everything that isn't managed,"
which would include shell scripts, Perl, Java, etc., but I've never
actually heard anyone make the statement that Perl is unmanaged code.
:-)  (Unmanageable, perhaps, but not unmanaged. :-D)

Hope this helps.
