runtime corelib

[Peter Kümmel]

I've build the runtime without corelib support and wonder what it could be used for.
Are there any tests which use such a setup? I only see binaries which have corelib:
'dart' loads it via a snapshot and and 'dart_no_snapshot' used the *_withcore libraries.

When I process a dart script the program exits with
runtime/vm/bootstrap_nocorelib.cc:25: error: unreachable code

I assume I have cannot use bin/main.cc for a corelib-less binary.

When corelib is so essential to the runtime, shouldn't corelib/ not
be in the runtime folder? I stumbled over this because I've a checkout
of runtime only and then I could not build with corelib support.

Probably not a lot of things.

The corelib is partially shared between the DartC compiler, Frog and the Runtime. This is, why it the corelib directory is not inside the runtime folder. Each of these Dart-engines only have some parts of the corelib specialized (e.g. runtime/lib, or compiler/lib).

Thanks for the explanation. In the meantime I also checkout corelib
into my git repository.
