[IronPython] [python] Re: Announcement: Project togetsomeCPython C extensions running under IronPython

[Keith J. Farmer]

See my earlier email.  I think you *could* keep it in C, compile into
pure IL.  At that point you have to deal with pointer-driven algorithms
(eg, NumPy), but you could generate safe code.

 

Anyway, I need to go eat.  I think some serious thought should be given
to C++/CLI as an option to produce an IL version of these libraries.

A larger worry I have is the possibility that some of this will end up
being unsafe code, at which point you will have difficulties in full
trust scenarios, such as web servers. 

 

This project will by definition be producing "unsafe" code.
