Re: [omr-dev] Starting work on C front-end to OMR JIT

That's very cool, Dibyendu! Good luck with
extending what you have there and I hope you'll keep us aware of your progress.
If we can help to ease the integration with the OMR compiler itself, please
feel free to continue reaching out.

One thing that struck me immediately
was the opcode enum you've defined locally. I wonder if you have a notion
of how you'll keep up with new opcodes in OMR going forward? Is there a
reason you didn't way to reuse the compiler/il/ILOpCodesEnum.hppfile to create that enum, and then have asserts to catch if someone starts
using a new opcode that your code isn't yet designed to handle?

Anyway, this project looks very interesting
and I look forward to hearing where you go with it!

   [omr-dev] Starting
work on C front-end to OMR JIT

Hi,

I am pleased to say that I am finally starting work on integrating OMR
JIT to a C front-end.
I have created a minimal C api for OMR JIT that allows me to get started.

The C front-end project is:
https://github.com/dibyendumajumdar/dmr_c.

The OMR JIT backend is currently just a copy of the NanoJIT backend -
but I expect most of it will be a straight forward translation. My
initial goal is to be able to compile something simple like
'strlen()'.

The minimal OMR C api is defined in:
https://github.com/dibyendumajumdar/nj/blob/master/c-api/nj_api.h.

I will add more stuff to this as and when I need it while working on
the integration.

Regards
Dibyendu
