Re: j#

The missing IL opcodes are not documented yet but apparently two of them are:
calli (call through function pointer)
localloc (allocation on expression stack)

Like the others said already, my advice is to go for C#...

BTW, you can see some of the difficulties Delphi is having with supporting the CF on this blog:

Thanks Paul and Chris,

All our framework code and our own apps are written in C#. However, a customer has asked us if they are able to author in Java. I had convinced them they could choose J# (for language support only, not the JDK) although they should seriously consider using C#.

I have just managed to get a J# application running on the platform fine. However, I take your point that the J# compiler may emit incompatible IL opcodes at any time. This is, of course, a problem.

Does anyone know whether these incompatible IL opcodes are documented and whether this would also affect the open source tools that now either emit or understand IL (such as IKVM and Mono)?

TIA,
- John

Well, you might be able to make it work, but it's unsupported. Some people have been able, for a very specific case, to get Managed C++ to work, too, but that might break at any moment, either as a result of a change from MS or as a result of adding some otherwise innocuous code to the program. Why not just use the supported tools?

Hi,

I have read that j# is not supported as a language for the compact framework. However, is this absolutely true or is it more a case that Visual Studio does not have the wizard and debug support for j#/compact framework projects?

TIA,
- John
