[LLVMdev] Proposal for a Google summer of code project for the Java frontend.
As I told you, I am working with the Java frontend. Currently I am working with the code from http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/java/. The first task has been to put it up to date, since it was written for LLVM 1.9 and there are few incompatibilities. This is mostly done. How can I submit a patch? I am interested to get this work funded by a Google summer of code grant. Is there anyone interested in mentoring this project? Would be the LLVM interested in it? Best regards, Ramon

Do your changes make it run some applications? Is the grant already provided? I'd be happy to mentor your work if the project can also concern improving my existing implementation ;-) Nicolas> Best regards, > > Ramon > _______________________________________________ > LLVM Developers mailing list > LLVMdev at cs.uiuc.edu http://llvm.cs.uiuc.edu > http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/llvmdev >

I think it would be a great thing to focus future java efforts on your front-end, provided it's in better shape than llvm-java (which isn't hard). It would be awesome if you were willing to mentor a student. Please sign up on the GSoC page as a mentor, thanks! -Chris

[LLVMdev] Proposal for a Google summer of code project for the Java frontend.
I would like to see the code of your front end. I started working with llvm-java, since it was what was available. It does not run yet (small compilation issues, almost done), but the design seems fine. It can run (when setup complete) small pieces of Java code, but no real application, since it does not support exception handling (jsr/ret bytecodes) yet,nor garbage collection. Implementing these pieces would be the purpose of this summer grant request. A Java and CLI front end would be really interesting. What missing features could I implement? I can start preparing a proposal.
