Re: Porting Sable VM to SH4

Hi Vincent,

I guess, from the lack of replies, that nobody has yet attempted such a
port.

I do not know SH4.  What kind of system is it (processor, OS, etc.)?  It
seems you have identified the important parts of SableVM that need to be
written for a new system (system.[ch] and jni_system_specific.h).

Just ask on this list if you need help with specific issues.  We'll do
what wecan to help you.

Would you like a sandbox to share your development publicly and simplify
future integration of your port into the trunk?  You'll find our
contribution policy at:
