Hi, I expected exactly this proposal when Apple announced the 64-bit only iOS 11 near 3 months ago. ( I should have bet. :) )
I can understand that 32-bit is only an unnecessary barrier for you and you don't want to bear the maintenance cost of it when there isn't a significant amount of contributors for maintaining and active developing 32-bit backends. Maybe it will be hard to say good bye to 32-bit architecutres for many people, but please, it's 2017 now, the first ARMv8 SoC is out 4 years ago, the first AMD64 CPU is out 14 years ago. br, Ossy On 2017.09.05. 15:51, Filip Pizlo wrote:
I think that JIT support on platforms that don’t get regular tuning doesn’t make sense. I think we should: - Remove JIT support for 32-bit platforms - Remove JIT support for Windows - Remove JSVALUE32_64 - Use cloop In 64-bit mode on 32-bit platforms and Windows. I think this approach would be best for the project since it would mean less time spent on JIT ports that are never quite done. -Filip
