On: Firefox’s new streaming and tiering compiler

[icebraining]

How would the client know the hash is valid?

[Zpalmtree → icebraining]

Perhaps he means you compile the code locally, hash it, and then next time you can fetch the compiled code from a server, and check the hash matches?

[icebraining → Zpalmtree]

That's possible; a kind of second-level cache. That assumes the compilation is reproducible, though.
