I assume you are talking about syscall emulation.
An interpreted language like Python simply uses the /usr/bin/python executable as executable, and takes the scripts as arguments. Therefore, there is nothing, in principle, that prevents it from being run. In practice however, you must of course ensure that all required syscalls are implemented, and that dynamic libraries load properly. I've just tried it out a Python hello world with SE python3 in Ubuntu 18.10 and it failed with: /usr/bin/python3: error while loading shared libraries: libexpat.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory so you'd have to debug that. Full system will just work of course. ________________________________ From: gem5-users <gem5-users-boun...@gem5.org> on behalf of Seeley, Justin P <jpsee...@wpi.edu> Sent: Friday, April 12, 2019 2:44:31 AM To: gem5-users@gem5.org Subject: [gem5-users] Feasibility of Using gem5 on Interpreted Languages Hello Everyone, I am pretty new to gem5. I am interested in the feasibility of running gem5 on scripts for an interpreted language and as I understand it, gem5 requires an input binary not an interpreter running a script. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience in using gem5 with R, or am I running up against a wall? Languages like Python look to have some external software to act as a static compiler for python, but I have not seen anything similar for R.
