As for why stuff doesn't work, have you guys tried reverting my last changes to
sysdepCallMethod and the ppc trampoline? I probably screwed it up wrt darwin

Hi Tim!

thanks for the quick reply. I've actually got the problem with ppc-linux-jit3 now, too. jitBasic dies as soon as the generated code is invoked in the first test :(

In order to get familiar with the jit3/ppc setup i thought about porting the mnemonicizer setup to x86. Does that souind like a useful idea?

Now I just need to figure out which switch to toggle on to see the generated code :)


I almost always look at gcc's disassembly of it.  So you want to:

  # put a breakpoint on the jitter and start the test
  (gdb) break translate
  (gdb) run
  # let the jitter run
  (gdb) finish
  # load the xdebugging symbols
  (gdb) xdb

ah! xdebugging works with ppc?

  # disassemble the native code.
  (gdb) disas meth.ncode    # or whatever the structure is nowadays

It doesn't always work quite right unfortunately, but it should get you pretty far.

thanks :) any ppc-assmebler reference you could recommend?

cheers,
