Jeremy, This has nothing to do with LLVM or VMKit... but if you're interested: I've been working on a light-weight JVM called Avian ( http://oss.readytalk.com/avian/). It has a fast JIT compiler (that produces moderately good code, but no optimization). It doesn't have any .NET support currently, but given the deep similarities between .NET and Java, I think it wouldn't be a

Hi Chris, Just in case that this information does not get corrupted I want to point to the issue: In http://llvm.org/devmtg/2008-08/Geoffray_VMKitProject.pdf it is on page 21: "VMKit, Mono, PNet", Array bounds checks. In http://hal.inria.fr/docs/00/35/45/77/PDF/RR-6799.pdf it is on page 17: "We compare N3 with Mono [9] version 1.2.6, and PNet version 0.7.4 [2], which uses

Dear all, First, sorry for all that noise. I know you guys *just don't care*TM, but this requires some clarification. I won't say more than what's in this email. The VMKit paper dates from early 2008. It compares VMKit with pnet 0.7.4 and not the latest release (0.8.0) because we were not able to get any information to build it correctly at the time; the website that hosted

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

Hello Dear LLVM Developers and Users I would like to complain about scientific inaccuracy of the paper http://hal.inria.fr/docs/00/35/45/77/PDF/RR-6799.pdf written by Nicolas Geoffray, Gaël Thomas, Charles Clément, Bertil Folliot, Gilles Muller and presentation done by Nicolas Geoffray on LLVM conference supported by Google: http://llvm.org/devmtg/2008-08/Geoffray_VMKitProject.pdf They provide

Hi All, Thanks Nicolas for pointing out that I needed --enable-targets=x86,cpp for my llvm config to get vmkit to build. The process gets a lot farther but fails in different places depending upon the vmkit config (Can you please see the three case below?). My machine is a intel core i7 running ubuntu karmic and gcc 4.4.1. What arch/OS/distro/gcc do you all have VMKit working on? thanks for

Thanks, I am now working on compiling up VMKit. When compiling VMKit in my up-to-date svn checkout I get several error messages on missing members of the class 'llvm::Type': PNetLib.cpp: In function ‘void decapsulePrimitive(n3::VMObject*, const llvm::Type*, std::vector<llvm::GenericValue, std::allocator<llvm::GenericValue> >&)’: PNetLib.cpp:694: error: ‘Int1Ty’ is not a

Thanks Nicolas, Gaël I followed your instructions and installed compatible versions of llvm, vmkit and GNU Classpath also I unzipped glibj.zip and pointed GNU Classpath lib variable to the the unzipped files during vmkit configure. That error has vanished. Now when I run jnjvm or vmkit in Release/bin on any file I'm getting a new error : " terminate called without an active exception

Yes I did, one thing worth mentioning is on running configure for GNU Classpath towards the end this error is displayed and it crashes, I assumed it was okay and went to create the symbolic links and completed the rest of the process with vmkit mentioned in Getting Started as instructed: -I../../../native/jni/native-lib -W -Wall -Wmissing-declarations -Wwrite-strings -Wmissing-prototypes

Have you created the symbolic links to GNU Classpath .so? ie step 2 of http://vmkit.llvm.org/get_started.html?

Hi, I'm new to VMKit and I'm trying to use its AOT Java compiler but I'm immediately getting an error message which I don't understand. Everything was compiler as suggested in the Getting Started tutorial, using GNU Classpath. I try to run: llcj ../../tools/trainer/Release+Asserts/HelloWorld.class and get the following output: Can not materiale a function in AOT mode.0

Dear all, This new version of the paper at: http://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/docs/00/36/53/37/PDF/RR-6799.pdf got ride of libJIT. Now my question is the how scientific is this research and research paper if instead of using libJIT and Portable.NET JIT: authors of "VMKit: a Substrate for Virtual Machines by Nicolas Geoffray — Gaël Thomas— Charles Clément —Bertil Folliot — Gilles

Hello again Gaël, (et al) More on rekindling work on VMKit! Thank you for your interactions thus far on- and off-list. As you suggested in your VMKit-retirement email (to which I'm attempting to respond), I'm interested in producing a Java-to-LLVM compiler out of VMKit. I'd like to take you up on your offer to help understand the architecture. If I can get the a Java-to-LLVM

Hi Gaël, I'm not familiar enough with the details of the old JIT engine and its event interface to comment on whether or not your changes are appropriate, but I'm not sure anyone is so the patch is probably OK as is. I don't see any obvious problems with it. However, your description of the changes raises a bigger issue in my mind. I'm not sure if you are aware of this, but

Oups, sorry for the mistake, llcj (not llc:)) is not more maintained!

Hi Gaël, I would guess that MCJIT is probably attempting to load and link the shared library you return from the ObjectCache in the way it would load and link generated code, which would be wrong for a shared library. I know it seems like it should be easier to handle a shared library than a raw relocatable object (and it probably is) but MCJIT doesn't handle that case at the moment. The

Hi, I got lots of "undefined reference" when building vmkit. Anyone can help to give a solution? I download vmkit with "svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/vmkit/trunk/", followed the instructions of "http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/vmkit/trunk/README.TXT", and built vmkit on ubuntu 13.10 x64 with sunjava 1.6.0_45 + llvm 3.3 + classpath 0.99 + gcc 4.8.1.
