standalone apps

[DONG XINSHU]

I have one concept to clear. Native client applications can be built into either nacl applications (.nexe) or standalone ones on Linux and Mac. Am I correct to say that the standalone builds are only for debugging purpose as they have neither compile-time checking nor runtime validator, and to have sandboxed runtime environment, we have to build applications into the os-independent nexe files?

Thanks,
Xinshu

That is correct. With the advent of debugging technology in newer versions of NaCl, I'd expect the standalone option to become obsolete.

Just to clarify, I'm referring to the "standalone" feature which was a way to link to the NaCl libs from a normal Windows, Mac, or Linux application so that you could run NaCl code outside of the sandbox and validator. From your email it sounded like that's what you were referring to.

Thanks, Ian. I'm referring to http://nativeclient.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/src/native_client/documentation/getting_started.html#make. Is that what you meant? Or is there any other concept of "standalone" related to Native Client apps?

Thanks,

That's the one.

Apparently some of the team have also referred to running sel_ldr on its own (outside of Chrome) as "standalone," so there were some questions internally. Looks like you and I understood one another, though. :-)

The documentation on that page is pretty out-of-date overall, and as far as I know isn't being maintained.

Please use this site to find NaCl documentation:

Thanks!

Yes, thanks. But that link does not contain all the information, so I had to switch back-and-forth all (maybe outdated) documents spread across different locations.
