| Delay Announcement |
Nov-10-2002 |
|
A very important (but disappointing) announcement.
|
|
The work on JILC has been delayed, and it may be delayed even more.
The reasons are attributed to my (Gaurav's) heavy involvement
in CSMail and in
Mono projects.
|
|
So, right now, I have deferred any works on JILC. Though it may
sound disappointing, but I think the other two projects are more important
than this one.

|
| PE File Generation |
May-24-2002 |
| Today Gaurav started working on PE file
generation, although the IL code generation is not over as yet.
Abhaya is taking care of that part while Gaurav will maintain this part.
|
| The code submitted today includes some
basic structures that would be required for the PE file layout.
|
|
| Version 0.1 Released |
May-14-2002 |
| Version 0.1, the first minor release is
same as version 0.0.2 with added support for windows nmake. So, now you can
compile using VC++ compiler and linker. |
| The files may be downloaded here. |
|
| Code Generator code to CVS |
May-12-2002 |
| Submitted the first cut towards the code
generator to the CVS. The code should compile, but the IL code generated
does not, because of obvious reasons, does not assemble using ilasm. |
|
| Code Generation Celebrations |
Apr-27-2002 |
|
Today we had the demonstration of the project in front of the course
instructor (after all this project came out as a part of project
in the institute) . Lots of code by Abhaya made possible code
generation in the IL format, though the code that is generated right now
does not aseemble.
|
|
Some of trivial errors that were encountered were like the class names
were included as "java/lang/Object" instead of "java.lang.Object". A
detailed list of bugs will be put up soon. We are yet busy in the exams
;-)
|
|
Also, right now, no code has been commited to the CVS. Will do it by the
coming weekend. Uff!

| Website Shifting |
Apr-24-2002 |
|
The website shifting to this server is over.
|
|
| Code Generator |
Apr-23-2002 |
|
The code generator is now able to see some life to itself. Abhaya is
making good progress towards it. |
|
I am unable to give any time to it
rightnow. You may have a look at the cvs for the
latest work in place.
|
|
