I saw this was mentioned briefly last year, but there seemed to be some confusion as to what coroutines entailed and the thread died out. This technique has an unfortunate number of names, but it does get a lot of use, including popular languages like Ruby. I'm currently working on a programming language called Minnow (http://www.minnow-lang.org). It's an actor-based language, where

hi, i'm new to llvm. i'm kind of confused as to what llvm is. i think it said somewhere on the site that it's not a language, it's just used for creating languages. but the people at c-- point me here. so i just want to code in assembler with perhaps some higher-level constructs. will llvm let me do this? also, does llvm support simd up to sse4? and does it have a framework

Hi, Sorry for the vagueness. I'm starting to think about an experimental programming language based, among other things, on microthreads, or green threads, as Erlang has. I'm still under a very vague stage, just thinking on it, so I was wondering on the way this could be achieved. What I know from microthreads are things like: * They don't have their own stack * Switching between

I hadn't. That's very similar to what I had tried early on, but found it was actually slower than managing my own stacks lazily (on continuation,

Hello, How would you implement an Erlang feature such as the ultra-light processes? Is llvm prepared for similar situations? I would appreciate some insight on this. Thank you very much, .alvaro.castro.castilla.

Hi Álvaro, Your question is too vague to answer with any accuracy. Could you be more specific? -bw On Jul 24, 2008, at 1:08 PM, "Álvaro Castro Castilla" <alvaro.castro.castilla at gmail.co m> wrote: > Hello, > > > How would you implement an Erlang feature such as the ultra-light > processes? > Is llvm prepared for similar situations? > > I would

Actually, I am trying to implement a frontend for conversion from binary to LLVM. In binary, we would encounter branch indirect instructions like, Br Reg, where Reg would be an equivalent virtual register in LLVM. So, we can't directly implement Switch block method here to represent this instruction as we don't know how the values of Reg are mapped to basic blocks. I was going through
