I was under the impression it was just compatibility, and not actually built-in, but I thought I'd ask here and just make sure of what I'm saying. :) TIA. -- Austin Gonyou Systems Architect, CCNA Coremetrics, Inc.

I guess you've all read it already, but here it goes: "All video codecs are covered by patents. A patent pool is being assembled to go after Theora and other ?open source? codecs now. Unfortunately, just because something is open source, it doesn?t mean or guarantee that it doesn?t infringe on others patents. An open standard is different from being royalty free or open source.

Hi Jonathan, In the context of a static compiler, I would recommend that you implement your own “on the side” symbol table in order to track this state and perform on-demand instantiation as required. It is worthwhile to consider the LLVM module to be a passive output sink, not an active object. The JIT compiler, by contrast, is an active object, cooperating with its environment via

...is what we want to do. That is: we want to use a continuous compilation strategy, which is precisely what LLVM is supposedly attempting to achieve. If we adopt the approach that you suggest, we will end up implementing our own "generate on demand" infrastructure that has to operate in collusion with the dynamic loader. We know how to do that, but it is a moderately dicey business. Basically we have to run a pre-resolver before we emit code to an LLVM module, after which LLVM will run a second resolver. I certainly agree that this will work. But I didn't have in mind originally to vie...

Okay, we're starting to dig in, and I've hit a question that will no doubt seem strange. Context: BitC is a polymorphic language. Since it has unboxed value types, our approach to compiling a polymorphic function is to polyinstantate it -- once for each signature. The name mangling scheme is both stable and reversible. At the site of the use occurrence, we can fully determine the mangled
