Some parts have already been ok, but there already is a jit for ARM (at least arm32 - how about arm64?). so this should already work... otherwise the runtime couldn't work on any phone or similar device as they are all arm. > completed, but there are still things in progress.

So it will take time. so i'm still curious what these things are that need to be ported to make the toolchain work on non x86-64? the toolchain is basically just a compiler that compile c# src files to c# bytecode and maybe ahead-of-time compile bytecode to a binary. the rest is portable c# CRL stuff. right? what specifically needs porting to a new architecture EXCEPT the jit (and the jit as best i know has already been ported at least to arm. from what i read xamarin supports arm64 already. _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list Dev@lists.tizen.org https://lists.tizen.org/listinfo/dev
