Who can code this shit?
Hmm...
Euphoria is pretty good a language to implement
dynamic code generation you know?
Also excellent to write an OS in.
And very qualified to write a dynamic loader in too.
Why?
Because of call().
You can easily call machine code portably in Euphoria,
and generate machine code on-the-fly for direct
execution.
What I'd like to see coded in Euphoria, is a COFF file
loader that extracts the machine code and then allows
for functions to be call()'ed.
If there's an EU coder out there that knows the COFF
format, why not code this?
It would allow you to call routines from any C, C++,
Pascal, etc. program that has being compiled into
object files using a COFF-outputing C compiler.
You could embed the object file into a Euphoria source
file as a sequence or a constant, and therefore
produce a stand-alone Euphoria executable.
Robert clamis to have being a compiler engineer before
starting work on Euphoria.
Then just *why* don't hey code such a library for us?
For him it would be easy to do.
All we have ever seen contributed by RDS are EDS and
some small crappy examples.
This library would allow you to mix C and Euphoria on
any x86 platform into a single stand-alone executable
program.
It would be like Euphoria's linker.
Rob, anyone, go code this...NOW!
