Hello guys! I read on your site that "MCS was able to parse itself on April 2001, MCS compiled itself for the first time on December 28 2001. MCS became self hosting on January 3rd, 2002. " Forgive me please my ignorance but I just can't comprehend how bunch of programming code (which is text) can compile itself? As far as I understand one needs to have executable which is collection of pointers and op codes ( primitively saying) to at least be run by operation system. But how text files can bootstrap themselves and turn themselves into executable code I cannot understand. Could you explain this to me please. Is there anything that I can read about it?
Thank you very much Take Care Olegh _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
