Andreas,
What about using C++? There would be some degradation of performance. However, there would be the benefit of structuring the VM classes, of not having to add VM as an argument everywhere, and it may even be possible to subclass Thread so we know where the thread-local storage is.
I'd rather prefer to make modifications to slang to be able to generate VM sources for any target language/platform and keep platform dependent code in image instead in separate file(s). This all to simplify build process and to keep all things together.
You mean subclassing a Thread class? Is that platform dependent? If so, I didn't know that and I agree with you - it's should be out in a separate file, if used at all.
cheers, Rob
