Hi, I'm wondering what it would take in theory to get IronPython
working on MonoTouch (http://monotouch.net/) - the framework for
writing iPhone apps in C#.
By that I mean that I'm trying to understand the technical obstacles
that would need to be overcome and possible ways to overcome them
(even if it means that e.g. you'd have to introduce abnormal
restrictions or limitations on IronPython).
One obvious one seems to be that the iPhone doesn't allow you to mark
a chunk of data memory as executable, so it prevents any sort of
runtime code generation (JIT). So maybe another way to look at the
question is this: what would it take to make it possible to have
IronPython support 100% AOT compilation?
I'm looking at alternatives like Boo, which does work for iPhone
development (via MonoTouch), but IronPython would be my first choice,
even if there were some extra constraints.
Thanks!
-Dave
