If it's LLVM, that pretty much opens the door for running Native Client apps on Android, and possibly even merging Android with ChromeOS, right?

- oscargrouch 13y agoThats a good guess.. theres a way to be sure of it.. The bitcode from Pnacl is different from the LLVM one.. But the "portable" backend naming scheme maybe could mean they will use the PNacl-LLVM instead of the pure LLVM one.. I wonder how Chrome could glue with this.. but if the Nacl/Pnacl uses the PPAPI api, in this hypotethical scenario they would replace the PPAPI runtime with a runtime compatible with ART.. it can be done, and the final c++ application source code would look like the java one.. edit: This could also mean the ndk applications will be first class citizens and wont need to rely on a java shim + native bindings.. I think that is more likely than the ChromeOS integration scenario
