Hi
The bootstrap .hbc files in the Yhc distribution have minor version 9 and the versions generated by the compiler have minor version 10.
Do we still need the bootstrap .hbc files? Isn't this just a hangover from before we could really build Yhc libraries properly on all platforms?
Does anyone happen to know what the differences between versions 9 and 10 are? What version does the data sheet at 'src/compiler98/Bytecode/data/bytecode.xml' describe?
I suspect its version 10, but don't really know. I guess the best way to find the differences are to look at the C code that reads the bytecodes, it can't be too different between the two give that it translates between them at runtime. I suspect its only additions of new bytecodes. Thanks Neil
