Re: [omr-dev] Starting work on C front-end to OMR JIT

["Mark Stoodley" <mstoodle@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Dibyendu,

Great stuff! Another thing you could
consider, if you want, is to put that C api file directly into the compiler
ilgen directory (like the fundamental JitBuilder files are) and #include
it from there.

Putting it in under the compiler directory
makes it easier for other OMR projects to leverage, even ones like OpenJ9
that don't use JitBuilder. For example, one could imagine (though I'm not
sure if I want to really go there :) ) constructing a direct API to the
JIT compiler in OpenJ9, using the C library as the basis for a JNI OpenJ9
JIT library for the OpenJ9  JVM.

Just a thought...Thanks for the update!
