[LLVMdev] Disable JIT and interpret code instead in VMKit (original) (raw)

That's true, thanks Philip, I always forget this interpreter :) However, we have not tested the LLVM interpreter because it is not easy to use when you have an exact collector.

Basically, in VMKit, we use the LLVM garbage collector infrastructure in order to generate stack maps, i.e., maps that identifies the location of the object references in the execution stack. If we use the LLVM interpreter, we will have to find all the locations of the object references in the LLVM virtual register locations of the interpreter. And I don't know if it is possible...

See you, Gaël

I'll point out that LLVM does have an old (and likely at least somewhat bit-rotten) C++ interpreter available in ExecutionEngine/Interpreter/. I know nothing about it's status.

Hi, I kindly request some help here, am working on some open projects in VMKit! Do you know if there is an easy way to completely disable JIT and interpret the code instead? -- Best Regards, David Daharewa Gureya E: gureya.daharewa at gmail.com Quick Links: www.c4dlab.ac.ke | http://sci.uonbi.ac.ke/
