The exec runcore is about saving compiled JIT code in an object file and generating an executable. The generated executable can then be executed without having to do JIT compilation again. Compilation and execution are two very distinct phases, still they are refered to as exec core, as indicated by the enum PARROT_EXEC_CORE in interpreter.h. I propose to replace the enum value PARROT_EXEC_CORE with the two new values : PARROT_EXEC_COMPILE_CORE and PARROT_EXEC_RUN_CORE. This should make the code more clear and might limit the use of the shared variable 'Parrot_exec_run'. The problem that core is dumped, whenever the compiled JIT is executed, would of course not be solved by that. Any comments? CU, Bernhard
