Hello all. is it possible to use LLVM to optimize existing .NET assemblies? Basically doing the following: - read in MSIL and convert into LLVM internal representation - perform global optimizations on LLVM internal representation - write out optimized MSIL using the existing LLVM backend I presume that the capability to convert MSIL into LLVM internal representation exists somewhere in VMKit.

I also misunderstood :) So, in this case, the problem is that your version of openjdk is probably not supported. In fact, we only support the version 7u23 of openjdk :) You can find this version here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/java-archive-downloads-javase7-521261.html#jdk-7u25-oth-JPR Currently, I'm modifying the internal design of vmkit and I'm not working

I guess I mispoke, I checked out the source from http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/vmkit/trunk. I thought this was vmkit2. I guess I was just referring to vmkit then.

Arg, you have to use a version strictly before the 7u25 (probably the 7u21), sorry! I hope that it will work, because I also have problem to compile the trunk version of vmkit (I haven't tested the trunk since two months). I'm investigating. Tell me if it works for you with an older version :) See you, Gaël PS: the warning messages are not important 2013/11/21 Adam Pridgen

Is there a particular revision in the repository that I can checkout and work from?

Ok, I have exactly the same problem when I compile, I will try to understand where is the problem.

Thanks for your help so far Gaël, but I ran into more trouble. I installed the JDK on my system and the messages indicated the JVM version needs to be 1.6. Did you intend to link me to Java 7?

Hello, I am trying to build vmkit2 from the repo using OpenJDK 6 (stock install) on Ubuntu 13.04 amd64. When I try to compile vmkit2 I get the core dump below. I am not sure what the issue is, but I was getting the same error when I was also using classpath. My build environment is set up in the following way:

MSIL is definitely much more high level than LLVM, that's why significant portion of information will

Hi Adam, I don't know which repo you have used? Because only the llvm repo is maintained (not the gforge one), and vmkit2 comes from gforge... By the way, how did you found the gforge repo, it should not be referenced anymore from the web?

Hi everyone, I've just checked in a JVM and a CLI for LLVM (called JnJVM and N3). Both are placed in the vmkit svn directory. You can find the source code here: svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/vmkit/trunk vmkit Its licensed under the U of I Open Source License, so now that's in svn, you can change whatever you want, as long as HelloWorld.java and HelloWorld.cs work ;-) I

Greetings, I am searching for an alternative to sun's java implementation - one that is not under gpl.. I've been reading the vmkit code for JNI.. And I notice that it is not completely filled out yet... That's fine though, I see there is filled in function like most of the non implemented functions.. Couple of questions: Is the entire llvm required for java/cli vmkit to run?

Hi Nicolas, I plan on using the Avian GC (which is a precise, generational collector). Eventually, I'd like to fully integrate all of the runtime services Avian provides - even integrating the existing Avian JIT compiler, to allow for partially-AOT builds. Avian does indeed have it's own class library, but I would be very surprised if VMKit could compile with them - they are sufficiently

Hi Nicolas, Reviving old thread of sorts... thank you very much for your earlier response--I apologize for not responding to tell you how very helpful your information was! Didn't come back because you gave me everything I needed at the time :).

Hi, I wanted to use VMKit project to convert Java Bytecode to LLVM IR bitcode. But I do not know how to start, since I came to know that VMkit is written for llvm -3.3 version, but I want it for latest LLVM version 6.0.1. So, could you please suggest me, whether I have to write it whole project from scratch to meet my requirement of latest llvm version, or can use existing project by building

Hi, I see that now vmkit2 contains the last revisions of the project, so I follow these instructions to compile vmkit : http://vmkit2.gforge.inria.fr/start.php I download and compile LLVM without errors. I have tested with and without optimizations but this is the same for the errors. My configuration for LLVM is just : ./configure; make Apparently we can build vmkit with OpenJDK instead of GNU
