Compiled standard library #1082

Open Wiguwbe opened 7 months ago

Wiguwbe commented 7 months ago

Hey there,

Would it make sense (or be possible even) to have the c3's standard library being compiled into either an .so (dynamic library) or a bunch of .a (static library/archives)?

The lib definitions would be just the .c3i files/interface.

Of course that the templates wouldn't be compiled, but I don't know how templating works internally.

It is possible. I've toyed with the idea several times, but there are some things that need to be ironed out before that. For example, usually you can extend anything. Without the source code that is somewhat limited, so some care must be taken to make it work. Also, the .c3i files should be generated automatically.
