- Firadeoclus 8y agoThat is true, but I don't think cturner was unaware that source code can be perused where available.
- cturner 8y agoThanks. Yes, I was after an experience along the lines of python's inspect module, or Java reflection, but against native code shard objects. And feeling incredulous that it had not been standardised decades ago in major tool chains. Another poster highlighted Stephen Kell's work, and this is exactly what I had in mind. He highlights obstacles with mmap in one video. I did not recognise these issues until I had watched his presentation, but now see that they are difficult hurdles that are inherent to the problem.
