| [omr-dev] Update on C-front end |
Hi As I reported earlier I have been working on a C front-end to OMR JIT. I am pleased to say that I have completed the first draft implementation - and am now testing that the implementation works. I also created a C api for OMR in order to use it in my C front-end. Links to the key files below. OMR C api: https://github.com/dibyendumajumdar/nj/blob/master/jitbuilder/c-api/nj_api.h C front-end implementation: https://github.com/dibyendumajumdar/dmr_c/tree/master/omrjit-backend Test cases that work: https://github.com/dibyendumajumdar/dmr_c/blob/master/omrjit-backend/testomrbackend.c Of course there are bugs as many of my other tests in dmr_C fail at the moment. I suspect mostly this is due to my misunderstanding of what some IL does. I need to rework the C api implementation to avoid using some of the JitBuilder scaffolding ... I think I have a better understanding now of what I need to do. But I will do this after I fix the bugs in the C front-end implementation. Once above is done I am happy to submit a pull request for the C-api work if there is interest in it. Regards Dibyendu
