Hi,
I recently had a breakthrough in my CTFE work.
Though because habits die hard.
I am writing the bytecode-engine in a CTFEable style.
Therefore I can be used as a quite comfortable IR for CTFE
things as well.
It should be fairly easy to generate a inline-asm-string from
the byteCode at compiletime.
And thereby creating the possibility of generating optimized
code at compile-time.
I was wondering if such a thing would fit in phobos.
Please share your opinions with me :)
Regards,
Stefan
Any sufficiently complicated C or Fortran [or D] program contains
an ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation
of half of Common Lisp. –Greenspun's tenth rule
Ok, seriously, it sounds like an awesome feat, but I don't think
it is necessary to put it into Phobos. First, a dub package,
please.
Off-topic: Is it possible/feasible/desirable to let dmd use dub
packages? I guess it would make sense to extract parts of dmd
into dub packages. As a next step, dmd could use those packages
instead of duplicating code.
