(10:40:48) Maxdamantus: But mostly for the compiler, so it can be easily portable. (10:42:07) Maxdamantus: and I think it still only makes sense to think of it as an abstract model; it's to do with the type descriptions, so a representation for a type already exists such that pointers are aligned, etc. (10:43:01) Maxdamantus: Hm, dunno. That doesn't really map well for eg, 64bit architectures. (10:43:57) mjl-: true, dis doesn't run on eg amd64 (10:44:28) Maxdamantus: The simplest way to do it would be to double the size of everything, I think.
