Mark Wielaard has sent in this update on Gary Benson's latest work: "Gary Benson is writing a series of blog posts called about Zero and Shark. Zero is an interpreter-only port of OpenJDK that uses no assembler based on libffi. Shark is a just-in-time (JIT) compiler for Zero based on LLVM. They provide an universal architecture port of Java and are currently included in the IcedTea project. Inside Zero and Shark has published three installments this far: Java threads and state transitions, Handles and Oops, Traps and Checks and Calling Conventions and The Call Stub."
