Unless you tell what the levels are, what levels you
indeed, five levels...some guys in another team are managing to make open64 compile java application, they are focusing on the front end of open64. Actually, I know little about implementation details in open64 as well, but there is a detailed document about it. are going to translate to Jitrino HIR and what apply then in Jitrino, > I cannot tell much. And this description turns into a small design > document :) We just wanna evaluate the feaibility of such design which is just one of our designs. We are now discussing four designs and picking up the most feasible one, then try hard to implement it. Overall seems interesting. But I am afraid a lot to do, so, once you I couldn't agree with you more!
