Yes. With an upcoming patch, the exact same instructions will be assembled for all word sizes. > In the C back end [...] you can load the same C code into a 32-bit > Scheme and a 64-bit Scheme, by way of a C compiler fit for the > target Scheme's system characteristics. The C back end includes its own special "fasdump" that produces a whack of opcodes that re-construct the constants. > So, if I build an SVM cross-compiler on my ancient and decrepit > 32-bit MacBook , and use that to compile some Scheme to SVM code, > can I [...] then load that SVM code into Scheme on a 64-bit system, > and vice versa? I believe the only remaining trick is the 32<->64bit fasloader. _______________________________________________ MIT-Scheme-devel mailing list MIT-Scheme-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/mit-scheme-devel
