Hi Mikhail,
Sorry I left this thread for a while. Are you implementing VMMagic
support in .OPT currently, and prototyping with bump allocation? I am just
trying to understand in what order we are doing this.
Would it be possible to list the fastpath helpers so that the java
interfaces to access them could be defined? All of them don't need magic
classes support and one of us could just write them. I don't know the list
of intrinsics implemented already in .JET. Can we just use them as is, and
what else ( other than TLS access, call support ) would need to be added?
BTW, there may be a small omission in the example below..if I am reading
this right...
Thanks,
Rana

Folks,
Here is the example of fast allocation helper written in Java with the
help
of VMMagic
If nobody objects I'm starting to implement VMMagic support in
Jitrino.OPTthis week.
private static final int GC_TLS_OFFSET = 10;
private static final int GC_CURRENT_OFFSET= GC_TLS_OFFSET + 0;
private static final int GC_CEILING_OFFSET= GC_TLS_OFFSET + 4;
private static final int OBJ_VTABLE_OFFSET = 0;
//annotate with calling convention and real VM helper id/name information
private static Address slowAlloc(int vtable, int size) {throw new
Error("must never be called!");}
private static Address fastAlloc(int vtable, int size) {
Address tlsBase = TLS.getAddress(); //load thread local client area
address
Address currentFieldAddress = tlsBase.plus(GC_CURRENT_OFFSET);
Address ceilingFieldAddress = tlsBase.plus(GC_CEILING_OFFSET);
Address newObjectAddress; //the result of the method
// check if there is enough size to do allocation in thread local
buffer
Address current = currentFieldAddress.loadAddress();
Address ceiling = ceilingFieldAddress.loadAddress();
Address newCurrent = current.plus(size);
if (newCurrent.LT(ceiling)) {
newCurrent = newCurrent.plus(-size);
currentFieldAddress.store(newCurrent.toWord());
newObjectAddress = newCurrent;
newObjectAddress.store(vtable, Offset.fromInt(OBJ_VTABLE_OFFSET));
} else {
newObjectAddress = slowAlloc(vtable, size);
}
return newObjectAddress;
}
