Could you give a summary of the discussion and why you thought it
didn't
go well?
We have people around here, lurking and active, that have done
this in anger,
so speak up...
Did you study the VM Integration Guide:
http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/docs/vmintegration.html
We have updated and clarified it and if you read the NEWS file we
distribute with every release you will see updates and requests for
feedback on various parts. See the latest release or:
http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/classpath/classpath/NEWS?
rev=HEAD
(Look under the headings "Runtime interface changes:")
There are more then 20 different compiler/runtime/tools projects that
use this for various different situations be it interpreter, jit,
ahead
of time compilers, real time, or byte code transformation
frameworks. I
am sure it can be refined and improved (since we do that for every
release), but it should be very flexible already. Please give
feedback.
Please do try to answer these questions. It would be instructive if
you
could explain this in some detail since I am not sure we hit the right
technical spot yet with respect to your suggestions for
improvements to
the model we are currently using. And you seem to have the feeling
that
take 1 and 2 didn't go well and I do like to know what I missed back
then.
Me too :)
I'll review and try to post something later this week.
