GCC gets a new Optimizer FrameworkGCC gets a new Optimizer FrameworkPosted May 13, 2004 19:14 UTC (Thu) by iabervon (subscriber, #722)In reply to: GCC gets a new Optimizer Framework by rjw Parent article: GCC gets a new Optimizer Framework I wouldn't actually be too surprised if full C99 support were possible on the JVM (with a suitable library, of course). There are some limits on, for example, what you're allowed to do on pointers as integers and turn them back to pointers successfully. It would probably actually be possible to make a conforming implementation of C with type checking, garbage collection, etc., and it might be possible to use the JVM's services to do it.

GCC gets a new Optimizer Framework Posted May 14, 2004 9:37 UTC (Fri) by rjw (guest, #10415) [Link] http://www.xwt.org/mips2java/its definitely possible, and this is one (ugly) starting point. The jvm is turing complete, obviously. The big problem is just working out what people are doing with pointers to be able to implement them efficently on the jvm....
