[Mono-dev] installer for amd64
I hope this is the right place for this. Sorry if it isn't... I would like just to suggest it would be great to have an installer for amd64, just like that for x86. I have tried to compile mono for ubuntu amd64 and it's really a hell. Specially, I couldn't make work monodevelop. In gentoo it was also impossible to me... I have compiled successfully quite a lot of programs in both distributions, but mondevelop is really, in my opinion, very complicated. Having to install a linux version for x86, to me is not an option... Thanks for your attention. __ LLama Gratis a cualquier PC del Mundo.

It's the same engine, after all, emitting the code. :-) In theory, when doing ahead-of-time compilation, the compiler can do more expensive optimizations and possibly produce better machine code. On the flip side, theory also says that the JIT can make certain assumptions that make the output code simpler or faster when it can see the whole picture -- the application when it is actually running. I believe inlining falls into this category, since calls into other assemblies are susceptible to the other assembly being swapped for a different version, but at runtime that problem disappears since once loaded, the assembly is guaranteed to remain the same version (and remain loaded, too). I don't know to what extent mono takes advantage of either of these points.

AFAIK, String.Empty is interned just once, each literal has to be interned in its turn when the method body it is contained is jitted. Also the literal is embedded in the IL as many times as it appear in the code, so it is costing space in the image. To top it all, the JIT in reality knows string.Empty is constant, and generates native code that is as fast or faster than the constant assignment (as it doesn't have to create the in-stack reference to the interned literal). I also happen to think that 'x = ' is more readable than 'x = string.Empty'. :-) That's is why I suggested for the compiler to do the translation, so that your source could be kept in the less optimized form. See that Gendarme is looking at your compiled IL, not your source files, when pointing out the optimization rule isn't being followed.

Why? Because IL is smaller than x86 assembly, so less data needed to be read from disk, and the JIT was fast enough that it didn't slow things down in that case. On the flip side, for *warm* starts (i.e. the NGEN code was already in the OS disk cache), NGEN code was faster than JIT code (as the OS didn't have to hit the disk). Then there are other issues (the JIT can do direct method calls, while NGEN/AOT code needs to go through an indirection for each method invocation so that the assembly loader can fixup method addresses, just like with normal Win32 DLLs and ELF shared libraries).
