LLJVM provides a set of tools and libraries for running comparatively low level languages (such as C) on the JVM. Homepage: http://da.vidr.cc/projects/lljvm/ LLVM[1] 2.7 must be installed to compile and run LLJVM. Jasmin[2] is needed for assembling JVM bytecode. To compile LLJVM, simply call `make` in the project root directory, and call `make check` to run the testsuite. To generate the the documentation for the java packages and the backend, call `make doc`, which will generate HTML documentation in doc/java/ and doc/backend/ respectively. PDF documentation for the backend can be obtained by calling `make doc-pdf` (requires PDFLaTeX), which will generate doc/backend.pdf. A zip archive containing all of the documentation can be created by calling `make doc-zip`. C COMPILER The lljvm-cc frontend ties together several components to provide a C source code to JVM class file compiler. In order to use the frontend, either llvm-gcc or clang must be installed. llvm-gcc is recommended, and is used instead of clang if both are available. It is also required that the classpath contain jasmin.jar[2]. To compile a small number of source files to a class file, the following style of command can be used: lljvm-cc foo.c bar.c -o foo This will generate foo.class, as well as a shell script 'foo', which sets the classpath appropriately and executes the classfile with the arguments passed to it. This allows the class to be called in the same way as any other executable. If calling the class without the shell script, note that the entire list of arguments must be passed to the class, including argument 0 (the name of the command). For a larger number of source files, it is often more efficient to separately compile each file to an object file as needed: lljvm-cc -c foo.c then link the object files together into a class file: lljvm-cc -link foo.o bar.o baz.o -o foo Note that the -link flag must be used if object files are being supplied instead of source files. To link the object files together as a library instead of an executable, -link-as-library can be passed instead of -link. In this case the shell script will not be generated. To link against a library generated by lljvm-cc, the -l<name> flag can be used. This will search for a library in the classpath called lib<name>.class. Additional directories can be added to the classpath with the -L<path> flag. Such additions to the classpath will also be added to the shell script, so when linking an executable, the -L flag must be passed for each directory containing libraries needed by the executable (except the current directory and directories in the system classpath). An exception to the above is the -lm flag. This will not search for libm.class, but will rather link against java.lang.Math and lljvm.runtime.Math. Also, -lc should not be used as libc is linked by default. If this is not desired, then the -nostdlib flag can be used. By default all classes generated are placed in the default package. To assign the class to a specific package, the -classname flag can be used. For example, the following command: lljvm-cc ... -classname=com.example.foo -o bar/baz will create a class named foo, in the package com.example, placing it in the directory bar/com/example/. The shell script will be output to bar/baz. If the -g3 flag is used, then Jasmin assembly with full debugging information will be output to <output>.j. In addition to the above flags, any flag accepted by gcc or ld can also be used. However, sometimes these flags may not be passed to the correct component (this is a bug with lljvm-cc and should be reported). The frontend can also be used to compile autoconf-based projects relatively easily (although sometimes some changes to the project's build system may be required): ./configure CC=lljvm-cc LD='lljvm-cc -link' make CCLD='lljvm-cc -link' DEMO To demonstrate the capabilities of LLJVM, several common software packages can be compiled with lljvm-cc by entering the demo/ subdirectory and calling `make`. To verify that all of these compiled correctly, call `make check`. A JAR archive containing all of the demo programs can be created by calling `make demo` in the project root directory. For usage information, execute the JAR in the project root directory with no arguments: java -jar lljvm-demo.jar BACKEND The LLJVM Backend transforms LLVM IR into Jasmin assembly code. It can be invoked by: lljvm-backend foo.bc > foo.j There are two flags that are accepted by the backend: -classname and -g. Run `lljvm-backend --help` for more information. The output file should then be linked by the LLJVM Linker (see below), and assembled into a class file by Jasmin[2]: java -jar jasmin.jar foo.j RUNTIME The LLVJM Runtime has three components, the Core Runtime (lljvm.runtime), the I/O Support Library (lljvm.io), and the C Standard Library (lljvm.lib.c). See the JavaDoc documentation for further details on the former two. The latter is Newlib[3] compiled to JVM bytecode by lljvm-cc. TOOLS There are two command-line tools available: the linker, and the info utility. There are several ways to invoke these tools. The simplest way is to call them directly from the jar archive: java -jar lljvm.jar <cmd> args... Alternatively, if lljvm.jar is already in the classpath, one of the following can be used: java lljvm.tools.Main <cmd> args... java lljvm.tools.<cmd>.Main args... LINKER The LLJVM Linker qualifies references to external methods and fields in Jasmin assembly code. At the top of the code (before any .method directives), external references should be specified through the .extern pseudo-directive, such as: .extern field foo I .extern method bar(I)V Then the linker can be invoked by: java -jar lljvm.jar ld LIBRARY... < INPUT.j > OUTPUT.j For example, the following assembly code: .extern method cos(D)D .extern field NULL I ... invokestatic cos(D)D getstatic NULL I CLASSFORMETHOD cos(D)D linked with the command: java -jar lljvm.jar ld java.lang.Math lljvm.runtime.Memory would produce: ... invokestatic java/lang/Math/cos(D)D getstatic lljvm/runtime/Memory/NULL I ldc "java/lang/Math" INFO The info utility lists the type signatures of the public static fields and methods provided by a class. For example, to list those provided by libc: java -jar lljvm.jar info lljvm.lib.c By default, any identifiers beginning with an underscore are omitted. To disable this behaviour, pass the -v flag: java -jar lljvm.jar info -v lljvm.lib.c [1] http://llvm.org/ [2] http://jasmin.sf.net/ [3] http://sourceware.org/newlib/
