Twostep compiler?

[A.C.T.]

Moin, Andre,

point taken! :-)


My reply is: Self-modifying code should be forbidden by law, I really 
though we got over that about 20 years ago ;-)
And: Decoding bytecode is not necessary, if the byte code is precompiled 
code (like in JAVA or PHP, which uses precompiled "twostep" code to 
speed up things). Doing a full interpretation of plain text really will 
be the slower solution compared to bytecode. I wasn't only thinking of 
"encryption" here but also of safety, performance etc.
The more "data" has to be loaded the less CPU cache can be used to 
actually EXECUTE the code. I was used to calculate CPU cycles to make 
the best of my code, so again this may just be my (wrong) development 
background :-)
