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

It will decrease steady-state performance (both for

The memory consumed by the code compiled is huge in server applications. And it is not shared by different virtual machine instances. By contrast, shared libraries are memory mapped, therefore they are shared between different instances of the executables using them. It is posible to throw away code after using it, but then compilation cost would be repeated. And dynamic compilation prevents

Based on my experience this last one (the generation of shared libraries) is the most important performance wise, and the one that would make a difference from a performance point of view. I would like to prepare a proposal as soon as posible. Could I have a look at your code privately, even if there are licensing issues pending? I understand that this issues are just temporary, and will in no

I would prefer to see actual code to make safe schedules. With code I can see what changes one must make. I can also show in detail these changes, which would give security to the LLVM project that the proposal is viable. By contrast, without code, neither me nor LLVM project can ensure that the project will be successfully performed behind schedule. Since this is a difficult project (we are

I have just worked with this code. The architecture is fine, and I think that this code should be reused, It needs updating, however, because it does not compile with LLVM 2.1 (I prefer to use a stable version to focus my work, and port to LLVM 2.2 later). I have seen that one incompatibility is that this Java frontend requires C++ with exceptions, but LLVM is compiled with -fno-exceptions. For

Hello, I am Ramon Garcia Fernandez. My interest in LLVM is to develop an interface for Java virtual machine bytecodes, so that Java programs can be run under LLVM. You may ask why not using the Java virtual machine. Although it may be improved, there are some misfeatures in it. This is what I have learned. It makes the communication with native code too expensive. Passing an array from native to

You probably want to sit down and have a long talk with Jeroen Frijters, the principal behind the IKVM project. Note that you will have to deal with ClassLoaders at some level, regardless of what you'd prefer. > A more obvious problem is, of course, that it is not possible to > compile Java code statically and save the result in the disk. > That is untrue--last time I checked, gcj

Have you looked at the this? http://llvm.org/viewvc/llvm-project/java/trunk/ Someone started a Java frontend. Perhaps you could finish it? -Tanya On Feb 2, 2008, at 5:48 PM, Ramón García wrote: > Hello, I am Ramon Garcia Fernandez.

It's time again to apply to be a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code. This means we need to refresh the list of suggested projects at: http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/Google_Summer_of_Code_Ideas I'm running even more ragged than usual, so any help in this would be appreciated. I'd also like to know who'd be willing to mentor this year. -hpa -- H. Peter

All, I'm pleased to announce that Xiph.org has been selected as a mentoring organization for the 2006 Google Summer of Code program. So if you need a summer job, and there's something about free multimedia that's been bugging you, here's your chance! We've put up some project ideas for things we'd like to see in the wiki http://wiki.xiph.org/index.php/Summer_of_Code
