This is a small thing, but I wanted to mention it anyway:
I think the potential confusion over "in-situ" might be alleviated somewhat by referring to it as "static binding"? Thus, DDL would provide for both static and dynamic binding ~ the former is for the statically linked portion of the code, whilst the latter is for everything else. There's almost always a single statically linked entity, containing the GC, exception handlers, and so on.
It's just naming, but it certainly had me confused
On a related note: I've found that wee example (host.exe) to be quite useful, since it avoids concerns over keeping the in-situ .ddl synchronized with one's build ~ one just compiles a .obj and 'hosts' it instead. |

If you were to ask my wife, she'd tell you that I have a great head on my shoulders, but its sometimes painful to get anything comprehensible out of it.
Thank you Kris, for giving a name to a process for which I've been at a loss to describe. I'll keep the in-situ name of the binary, as that's pretty much what it is, but the process of "static binding" will be used to better convey the concept behind it.

Well, seeing as how DDL is overdue for an examples section, the code you sent me is going to help out nicely. _________________ -- !Eric.t.Anderton at gmail |

I'm glad it's on your shoulders, and not anywhere else |

Hehe.
Oh, she fixed that problem a while back. Seems her foot already occupies where my head used to be. _________________ -- !Eric.t.Anderton at gmail |
