Message: [QUOTE="Chris Dollin, post: 1677095"] You're expecting binary compatability between, say, an ARM, an x86, and a Power PC? The point of a VM is that the code is portable, and each implementation makes its own arrangements for executing it. Including, but not limited to: * write an interpreter for the VM code * write a compiler for VM code -> native code * mix: write an interpreter that compiles often-used code * write a *microcode* interpreter for the VM code * use gets() for nasal demons, enslave them, have them run the code No. [It might, but that doesn't mean it will.] [/QUOTE]
