Accessing managed code libraries via IPC from unmanaged code is not inherently bad. The problem with it is, as most of you already know, it can become "kind of" tricky to handle the complexity. I think Miguel de Icaza was trying to tame that complexity when he built Bonobo. I'd rephrase: I dont want to see unmanaged code being forced to use Corba or some other IPC mechanism just to access essential libs in managed code. into: I dont want to see unmanaged code being forced to use complicated solutions just to access essential libs in managed code. which I think is what you originally meant. Complicated in the sense of actually writing the glue code AND managing the different memory contracts between components. am I right? You can logically see the conclusion of the reformulation of the sentence: if accessing managed libraries is as easy as accessing regular libraries, there wouldn't be any impediment to write core libs in managed code, which could dramatically speed up development. > This is exactly > what MS is doing with Longhorn to "persuade" all the developers to use > .Net That is true. They are doing it out of greed. Were we to do so, it would be only on technical merit, thus anything coming out of our camp would definitely be better. > > Jamie. > > > > > Christian > > > > _______________________________________________ > > desktop-devel-list mailing list > > desktop-devel-list gnome org > > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > desktop-devel-list mailing list > desktop-devel-list gnome org > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list -- Manuel Amador (Rudd-O) GPG key ID: 0xC1033CAD at keyserver.net
