Re: MLVM Talk at Jax India 2008

Selvan I just cross-posted the link to your presentation and blog over on the JVM Languages group [1]; I hope that's OK (I assumed it was, as you posted to a public list). If you're not already following the languages group, I imagine your experiments with the AnonymousClassLoader might be of inte

Re: Time to reconsider m:n or green threading options?

Looks like the original threading model in the Sun JVM was 1:n threading http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_threads Most of what I found on a quick Google seemed to confirm that article. Apparently "green threads", as implemented earlier in the Sun JVMs, had one OS thread, running the VM, which w

Re: London group looking at "perl" on the MLVM

Hi I saw the announcement and your slides; wondering if you'd been in touch with Bradley Kuhn? He was looking at this [1] several years ago. Apart from his thesis, I remember coming across a number of posts by him on Kawa and Perl mailing lists, if I'm not mistaken. Regards Patrick 1: http://ww

Re: Javac syntax for MethodHandle (Was Re: I would like to discuss the MethodHandles factory)

There was some discussion on a proposal like this for Project Coin (small language changes for Java 7); see this mail thread: http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/coin-dev/2009-March/000388.html I don't believe this is currently under consideration for Java 7. > All the runtime access methods l

Hotswap patch?

Hi John I just saw that you pushed a changeset from Thomas Wuerthinger related to expanding hotswap--from the unit tests included, it looks pretty nice--add/remove fields and methods etc. Anything you can tell us about it, status etc? I didn't know anyone was working on this in the Da Vinci Machin

Re: Hotswap patch?

Thanks for the links to the Wiki and PDF. It looks like a lot of what we've been asking for. Thomas--is any special flag required to enable this when launching the JVM if I build MLVM with your changeset in it? Also, I assume that if classes are redefined we will eventually run into the standard p

Re: Which file is the interpreter?

James You might take a look at Gary Benson's blog, as he's documented his experience (as an outsider) working on a "zero-assembly" port of the HotSpot interpreter (called Zero) and another compiler which targets LLVM. His blog is at http://gbenson.net/; he's been documenting his work for over a ye
