Hello, Today I've committed code to CVS which should get mint running, for the most part, on the SPARC architecture. From preliminary tests, mint works with the GC with shared handles disabled on simple examples.
I would like it if people with Solaris/SPARC machines to test the code out, and let me know if/where it breaks. There are some known bugs in the architecture specific code, as well as some potential alignment bugs. Also, the delegate code isn't completed yet. If people could test this out and let me know what breaks, I'd appreciate it. Also, if you're handy with SPARC assembly, I may need some help with the JIT when the PPC people are finished cleaning up things. Something about processors that have real floating point implementations... ;) Thanks, Mark Crichton
