← Back to context Comment by msla 7 years ago Most CPUs aren't in self-hosting systems. 4 comments msla Reply kevin_thibedeau 7 years ago Yes they are. Embedded applications outnumber top end computers by an order of magnitude. nineteen999 7 years ago Perhaps he means that they are not generally self-hosted, in that we generally tend to cross-compile for the embedded hardware, rather than compiling on the embedded hardware. msla 7 years ago That's precisely what I meant, and I don't understand how it could be misunderstood if you know what "self-hosting" means in this context. msla 7 years ago I think you just agreed with me.
