[Mono-dev] Incoming changes to Mono.Simd

2008-12-03 Thread Rodrigo Kumpera
After some discussions with Mark we decided to do a few changes to Mono.Simd and it would be really nice to have some feedback from everyone on them. One of the motivation is that the current C# of Mono.Simd is not endianess safe and doesn't work as expected on platforms such as ppc. The other is

The second issue is a limitation of the C# language, which require extension methods to be defined of sealed classes. This would mean that code written against mono 2.2 version of Mono.Simd might not compiler with newer versions. Well, I'd vote for using the method which is *cleaner* and

Extension methods are great for simplifying the API, but Mono.Simd should still be usable by C# 2.0 programs. ___ Mono-devel-list mailing list Mono-devel-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-devel-list

Re: [Mono-dev] MIPS port update

Hello Mark! The MIPS port is coming along nicely. Hello, World! now works, the tests in basic.exe all pass if run manually and not by using the reflection technique that the test harness normally uses. There's still a lot to do - a lot of the logic that was in the old style brg files for MIPS
