Bummer. Some quick googling seems to confirm that Apple still doesn't allow JIT-compiled code. They do allow interpreted code, but only if the code is shipped with the app and not loaded from elsewhere.
Can you clarify "static binaries will rely on the Julia runtime / JIT, at least to begin with"? If I understand the Apple rules, basically it will disallow jumping to any dynamically-generated code. So the Julia runtime shouldn't pose a problem, as long as the executable code isn't generated on the fly. peace, s On Tue, Dec 30, 2014 at 12:09 PM, Mike Innes <[email protected]> wrote: > In principle, although last time I checked Apple doesn't allow apps to use > JIT compilation, so we'd need fully static compilation first.
