When you say user defined types on the stack do you mean .net Structs or are other types supported? I know that .Net has more options as regards passing things by type and by reference. Extra flexibility at the cost of more complexity.
Many of the basic byte code operations seem fairly comparable from basic examples from wikipedia but that may not tell the whole story. The memory management concept is interesting because I thought that the CLR does not unload classes to free up memory when the are not needed. This behaviour might actually just be for mono. I know something along those lines was mentioned in some Second Life technical talks about the technicalities of making the Second Life scripting engine run on Mono. I get the impression that it is more or less possible to convert Java byte code to IL but the reverse is not wholly true because of the presence of some features in IL which do not exist in Java byte code. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
