[LLVMdev] First proof of concept of a LLVM driven backend for the neko virtual machine
...more about haXe and Neko at www.haxe.org and
www.nekovm.org.
The current neko vm has a x86 JIT. The aim of this work is to get the
Neko VM to run fast on 64 bit machines, and hopefully improve
performance on 32 bit targets as well.
You can get the code from this repository:
http://github.com/vava/neko_llvm_jit
The work is still incomplete - only the first 10 opcodes out of 66 are
implemented, but there is enough to get "Hello world" and simple
arithmetic to work. The current port is still slower than the existing
VM, but that is expected. The next steps are to implement the rest of
the opcodes...
