Hi
Wait, you're saying that ghc can produce "pure" c-code, that doesnt contain any assembly code, and that runs as fast as ghc code that does contain assembly?
No. It can produce pure C code (unregistered), but to get high performance it processes the output assembly afterwards (registered).
Sooo.... if I was feeling "evil", could I take this c-code and pipe it into something that turns it into C#???
You might be able to. Much easier would be to use Yhc and pass the --dotnet flag which generates .NET binaries natively.
macros (or any macros at all perhaps...), this becomes non-trivial, but otherwise I think most things in C can be mapped fairly trivially to C#? (It's a one-way mapping of course, eg "delete" in C is simply dropped when mapped to c#).
There isn't going to be much free/delete, its all a garbage collected heap. Thanks Neil
