My idea was to create a complete backend treating Java as a normal platform, to enable LLVM to compile programs to Java Bytecode (.class) and Java Archive files (.jar). This could be useful in situations where we need to compile a program for a platform still not natively supported by LLVM. I don't know if it exists already, I've heard about this "LLJVM" but I don't think it

...to naively inter-operate between Java and C++ objects. Which is why it will be an interesting research project. :) -- Sanjoy > Oh, and I doubt that you’ll find many more platforms that have a fully functional JVM than are LLVM targets. Even big-endian MIPS64 is not well-supported by Java (JamVM - a pure interpreter - is the only thing that we’ve managed to find that works). > > David > > > _______________________________________________ > LLVM Developers mailing list > llvm-dev at lists.llvm.org > http://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/llvm-dev
