It is a portable program written in C and has been -ported to the Amiga, Macintosh, Windows and even pocket PCs such as -the iPAQ and Cassiopeia. Natively it compiles under unix for X -Windows with either tcl/tk or gtk/SDL, for svgalib and even -cross-compiles to DOS with djgpp/allegro. - -Generator uses its own custom 68000 processor emulation which is -designed for dynamic recompilation, and uses techniques from this such -as block-marking, flag calculation removal, operand pre-calculation, -endian pre-conversion etc. There are approximately 1600 C routines -generated by the first stage of compilation to cope with the 67 -instruction families. These routines are used as a 'backup' when -dynamic recompilation isn't supported on your platform or the -recompiler doesn't support a particular instruction. The CPU engine -is by all accounts very fast, whatever the mode. - -There is a 'test' recompiler written for the ARM processor, but it is -no longer supported. If someone with assembler knowledge wants to put -the effort into writing a recompiling back-end for a processor (and it -really is major effort), let me know - particularly if you know i386. |
