I just want to emphasize that -X:FastEval is not yet ready for production use. It's really only been tested on Python, and besides it being slow, it is not yet 100% correct. Play at your own risk :-). -- Jacob Lee SDE Intern, Dynamic Language Runtime <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

The two DLRs shipped between IronPython and IronRuby are about 1 day apart - so they should almost be identical. We did bump the version on the IronPython release so they're not actually drop-in replacements for each other. Currently evaluation mode needs to be flipped on and it's a rather global option (-X:FastEval at the command line if you want to play with it although it's not yet exactly "fast"). It will disable its self when it detects it can't handle a certain construct (currently that's generator functions). I'm not sure what the balance will end up being on whether we'll have hints or if we'll try and detect it or a combination of both.

Farmer Sent: Thursday, July 26, 2007 6:56 PM To: Discussion of IronPython Subject: Re: [IronPython] IronPython v2.0 Alpha 3 Released! Is this DLR compatible with IronRuby's? Also, below you mention different paths for code execution. Does the DLR analyze the code to make that determination, or is there a way we can hint the runtime to say "This code block can be interpreted."? ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Dino Viehland Sent: Thu 7/26/2007 5:13 PM To: Discussion of IronPython Subject: [IronPython] IronPython v2.0 Alpha 3 Released! This release also contains near complete support for evaluation support. There are now only a handful of corner cases where evaluation support is incomplete. Evaluation support enables the DLR to interpret code instead of compiling it and executing it resulting in faster run times for code that is executed once or rarely executed at all.
