Support for oracle solaris on SPARC 64bit processor

[badre429]

is there any plane to support Oracle Solaris on SPARC 64bit processor

[jlmajerus]

Yes, it already is.

[mikedn]

Yes, it already is.

Nope. There's no mention of SPAR 64bit anywhere in the roadmap or anywhere else.

[jlmajerus]

I'm sorry, I misunderstood the question.

If you would like to experiment with running .NET Core on SPARC processors, the closest thing that we have is CppCodeGen option in https://github.com/dotnet/corert project. You can read more about it here: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/alphageek/2016/10/13/native-compilation-why-jit-when-you-can-codegen/. Note that CppCodeGen is work in progress. It only works for very simple programs at this point.

SPARC processors are not on our roadmap. We're targeting x86/64 and ARM32/64. We have received very few requests for any other chips other than a few "would be nice" style requests. As always, we're happy to help others port the product to other platforms.

With .NET 5 mono gets somehow merged into coreclr (if I understood correctly). Since mono supports sparc ( https://www.mono-project.com/docs/about-mono/supported-platforms/sparc/ ) any plans for .NET 5?

@mfe- The SPARC support on mono is completely out of date

@marek-safar to comment on SPARC support in Mono

[marek-safar]

The SPARC support is a community maintained so there will be a way to run .NET5 on SPARC but we don't plan to do any testing of this scenario and might well be broken unless someone from community steps in.

Hummm The last time that i tried to build the Mono on my T2000 running Debian, I got a lot of errors..... Maybe I will try again
