llvm dev - Aug 2011 - [LLVMdev] State of the Java frontend

Hi,

not sure if this is the correct mailing list. I recently discovered
that LLVM also has a Java frontend to compile Java to native
code.

Where can I find more information about it?

Thanks,
Paulo

Hi Paulo,

You can take a look at http://vmkit.llvm.org. It provides a JVM on top of
LLVM to run Java applications. There is also (limited) support for ahead of
time compilation that compiles Java code to native code.

Cheers,
Nicolas

Also dragonegg can compile Java.  It doesn't output class constructors yet,
so
the output won't actually work.  I think Peter has a patch fixing that, so
you
might want to ask him if you are interested.

Ciao, Duncan.
