you could still do dynamic referencing if they made allowances for it, like if they stored a table w/ the names of the vars and pointers to them.
If you can make java bytecodes though and then use gcc to make that into an executable or dynamic library, would you really need With to make a witango compiler? That is assuming you dont lose anything like dynamic referencing in either of those 2 steps. I've been kind of wondering about this since With said you could make tango into java bytecodes though...if you made your code into java bytecodes, does it support dynamic referencing TCF's, includes etc? Just wondering if could expect any and all code to work the same whether it was tango or java bytecodes. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Garcia" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, July 01, 2003 1:25 PM Subject: Re: Witango-Talk: Boosting Server Performance, and TCFs > Just because our tafs would be compiled in some native format, doesn't > mean we would have to start worrying about things garbage collection. > The compiled tcf would would have in/out points and process data > within.
