Hi,
Are any free VMs currently supported on OS X for Intel (natively)?
Alternatively, if there's a concise description on what's needed to
support jamvm or cacao (function call ABI hacks, I'd assume),
I'd be
happy to hack on it.
I think it's quite easy (at least for me) to port cacao to i686-
darwin.
The ABI is the same as on linux, AFAIK.
I did blindly try the i386-linux ABI support in jamvm, but that was
hitting some weird SIGILL.
Here's a modified version of the ABI for linux/i386. It now maintains
the darwin/i386 alignment constraints. Of course, it is untested on
darwin/i386, but it works on linux/i386 (stricter alignment doesn't
matter).
So, all you should need to do it copy src/os/linux/i386 to
src/os/darwin/i386 and replace dll_md.c. Let me know how you get on.
This gets "Hello, world" to work :-)
I'll try some more things, and let you know what I see.
