Well I started the AMD64 code generator. I don't have much available yet -- just enough for what seems to be necessary to run anything at all. Parrot_jit_begin makes calls to MOV instructions that are implemented, and I have a NOP implemented. Is this the bare minimum? I was hoping for some insights into how I can incorporate this into a build and get the VM to recognize my code generator for trivial test programs I want to send it. I haven't been able to test if any of this works yet. As of right now, I still have the i386 code.jit file, and I don't know how that works when I don't have all the requisite instructions implemented. Can the core.jit only list the opcodes I currently support? Do I need stubs for all the opcodes?Thread Next
