- a port of the Interpreter/Context VM to Spur
What does the Context Interpreter do that the Stack Interpreter doesn't? I thought 64-bit support was the last gap.
In principle, there should be nothing at all that the context interpreter does that the stack interpreter cannot do. I practice, the context interpreter in VMM trunk supports pre-closure images, and also can run any combination of 32/64 bit image and VM.
One of my personal objectives in helping Eliot with merge issues was to get the stack interpreter to do those things also. I think is actually quite close to being able to do that, but the work is not complete.
