Re: [Tinycc-devel] A wish for 2018? C->JVM compiler

Quick search gave me these links:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4934707/is-it-possible-to-transform-llvm-bytecode-into-java-bytecode

I am not a Java guy, so not sure if that's what you imagine, but it seems close.

Hi all, I don’t how much it could cost nor it’s even feasible, but it would be nice to have a JVM backend. (as other languages already use, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_JVM_languages)

This could be a nice student project.

 

Main goal:

-          Have a portable C on top on JVM

 

Second goals

-          Smooth integration with JDK libs

-          Optional GC

-          Optimization done by JIT

 

Non goals:

-          Speed of compiled program

 

Any university there willing to make this port happen?

 

C.
