And yet we were just talking about the JVM, which will not be happy if you tried to call it on a Java source file. Or is WASM an AOT compiler because it runs the equivalent dlopen of C code somewhat slower than the native dlopen?
- jntun 1y agoBytecode is not machine code, and I specifically said source files "or usually bytecode". A C program is compiled into machine code (and more specifically a platforms given executable format) before dlopen(3) is called on it. Not sure what point you're really trying to make.
- manwe150 1y agoI’m saying your definition isn’t logical since there are counter examples to those claims. For one thing, Java byte code is a machine code (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_processor https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_processor Jazelle). These things differ in degrees of quality (along various axes) more than in their definitions.
