Line 41:
:A quite superficial distinction then, if I understand you correctly? Sounds like, perhaps, this article should be renamed ''intermediate code'' with the word ''bytecode'' redirect here (instead of the other way round) - or better - create a separate one for ''intermediate code''. However, I had the feeling this java-term had begun to mean just about any representation that is more similar (isomorph) to ordinary machine code than, say, tree-structured code, "quadruples", or stack code? / [[User:HenkeB|HenkeB]] ([[User talk:HenkeB|talk]]) 17:47, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
Smalltalk-80 used the term Bytecode as well, and, it was always a inconsistent notion. Smalltalk bytecode do not use a fixed size to encode opcodes, but 4bit to 8bit, and there are instructions which are encoded with 2byte. So,in essence, the term Bytecode is usually used to name a VM instruction set which is designed with a hardware instruction set architecture in mind. 2009-08-20 <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/134.184.43.183|134.184.43.183]] ([[User talk:134.184.43.183|talk]]) 12:09, 20 August 2009 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
