Re: [rvm-research] Researching the Jikes RVM

Hi,
Can I have a pointer to the known improvements/limitations (if any) or
status of the current stop-the-world variant from Michael, that
prevents the code to be merged to the trunk (as indicated in the ideas
page [1])? If they are not available yet, I will look into the
implementation.

Thank you.
Regards,
Pradeeban.
