Can you not have a dead switch (something akin to how the configure script works) that runs mono -V and if it returns something then the installer quits saying there is a version already installed (possibly running which mono will show the user where it is). Okay, it doesn't catch if there are multiple copies in there, but it does go some way to re-instating the installer.

Why make it predict anything? From my experience, packages are either put into /usr/local, /usr or /opt - why not just have a radio button on the installer? As for where to put things, you only really need to know if you're using Fedora or not for this (I don't know if any other distro puts things in /usr/lib64 for 64 bit versions of mono). Assuming you're not using Fedora/Redhat, then it will be /opt/mono... or /usr/lib/mono... or /usr/local/lib/mono...

Generics would pose some of very complicated problems to solve, such as the default implementation (can't do math over generic arguments), and confusion with the users as to what would get accelerated or not.

One could do a vectorizing extension of LINQ to Objects, for example. Bytecode manipulation with CECIL is another opportunity. Or maybe something a lot simpler such a set of foundation classes to build such algorithms is enough.

You must unbox value types because mono_runtime_invoke is
always returning value types boxed as objects:
if (monObj) {
MonoBoolean *b = (MonoBoolean*) mono_object_unbox (monOb);
if (*b) {
--> true
} else {
--> false
}
} else {
// handle error condition

[Mono-list] Mono.Simd - Phylosophical comments
Hi All, I just decided to get involved more in Mono and all related tools. Was an hardcore .NET Framework (Windows) developer but now it seems time to let go and explore something else. And Mono is just what I need! Anyway, I was quite pleased to see the Mono.Simd experimental addition. It's about time someone in the CIL world put efforts in exploiting the power of the SIMD instruction sets on modern x86 CPU, even more because most of the processing power increase in these CPU comes from SSE and al. I have a couple of comments on Mono.Simd: 1) Why calling it something that ties it to the underlying technology used? Why not calling it Mono.Math.Advanced, or Mono.Math.Vectors, or Mono.Math.Matrix? It doesn't have a big impact and it's just a question of taste I guess, but I find that Mono.Simd relates too much to the implementation technology. 2) Would it be possible to use generic instead of "hardcoding" the types and sizes of vectors in each class? I don't know if it's possible, but there are probably ways to pre-instantiate templates like you do in C++, so you have each supported template specification ready, and/or design the native underlying module that actually does the transformation to SIMD instructions do it in hardware only for the supported types. This would make this library quite flexible I think. 3) I would add more high level constructs like Matrix that make use of the SIMD hardware. 4) Maybe classes to help "vectorize" loops and other code construct would be good, since the runtime is not currently able to vectorize code itself. I still don't know how this could be done, but something like the "using" directive in C#, but using method calls and not extension to the language, could do the trick. That's it for now.

[Mono-list] Generic Linux installer for Mono 2.1 still missing (or just the files)
Hi! I'm quite frustrated: I use Debian (not the supported Suse or Redhat or Windows stuff) and don't want debian packaged Mono either. I want the most recent official version. I used to grab the generic installer from http://www.mono-project.com/Other_Downloads but it is still 1.9.1_2 Why has it not been updated? I usually install it to /opt, tell it to leave my environment alone and then strip it manually down to 10mb which I need for my purpose. I would really like to get hold of the official binaries (I don't want to compile it myself, that might introduce bugs from my libarries or other problems). I don't actually need the installer btw. Just a tgz file of the binary raw contents would be great. If I go to the mono homepage and try to download something for Suse or redhat, that leads me nowhere! I just get told to use the buildin update managers, etc. BAH! No possibility of downloading one large RPM and just extracing it and using the good fine binaries directly. (for the windows version (one big isntaller) that woudl be easy) And how would I be sure that I really get the most recent official 2.1 release that way??? I'm pretty frustrated with the way the mono system "supports" the distros. I mean it's great that mono gets good integration into distros, but I would certainly prefer MUCH LESS integration. Can anyone trigger the person who builds the generic Linux updater? Why did it stop to be updated? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Generic-Linux-installer-for-Mono-2.1-still-missing-%28or-just-the-files%29-tp20479893p20479893.html Sent from the Mono - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Mono-list maillist - Mono-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
