Compiling a Java-implemented JVM with GCJ

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,

There is a Java Virtual Machine completely implemented in Java called
JPF [1]. In other words, when you run a Java program within this
machine, it's a JVM-within-a-JVM execution. Obviously, this uses a lot
of resources and I was thinking of ways how that could be reduced.

An idea I have is to compile JPF with GCJ to native code, thereby
resulting in only one JVM that is used when running a Java program
within JPF.

Do you see any inherent limitations to this idea, i.e. reasons why it
wouldn't work? I'm not a JVM expert so it's hard for me to see any
obvious obstacles.
