- Ok. Here+s the score. I'm working on an interpreted language that
- needs access to external functions. Now it is obviously smart to
- support XCMD's and other code resource thingees, but they are not
- as convenient to make like say an MPW .o file. So here's the
- question: is it a good idea to simply take an MPW .o file and
- pass it through some kind of "linker" which would simply calculate
- some offsets for exported functions which could then be accessed
- "on call" so to speak. I know about "Dinker" and some other library
- that is supposed to do this for "classes" but what about plain
- functions?
-
- Anyway .. as far as I can think (at the moment) this looks like
- a nice and easy to use solution (how hard it is to write I'm not
- so sure?)
-
- Hmm .. any comments?
