Two (more) infrastructures
September 9th, 2003 | Tags: PL
Shortly after my post on infrastructures earlier today, I found two more projects (via the jikesrvm-researchers list) that look interesting: LLVM, which is designed to enable program transformations “across the entire lifetime of the program” — it consists of a low-level typed SSA IR, AOT and JIT compilers for SPARC and x86, a C->LLVM frontend, and a translator from LLVM to C. It looks like they’ll make a public release soon. Also, OVM aims to produce “an open source framework for building programming language runtime systems”.
