Does the x86 -> ARM translation work in both directions?
- rowanG077 5y agoMy point is that once Apple is ready they won't have to.
- avianlyric 5y agoNot at the moment. But there’s nothing fundamentally preventing Apple from writing an ARM to x86 translator. It’s probably easier that the opposite direction because x86 provides stricter execution ordering guarantees than ARM.
- olliej 5y agoRegister mapping is much harder, because you're going many->few, rather than the reverse. On the plus side you don't need to translate x87.
