I've pushed changes to the JIT to add an ARM back-end, which is based
on Paulo César Pereira de Andrade's very nice implementation of GNU
lightning for ARM.
The generated code uses Thumb and VFP instructions when available, and
floating-point arithmetic is unboxed as on x86.
Places should work, although they're not currently enabled by default.
I have not yet added support for futures, and that will probably wait
until someone has a use for them.
Hello Matthew,
This is very exciting, as my company is currently using Racket on the TI
BeagleBone (ARM Cortex A8 based) for an industrial application, and I'm
looking forward to seeing what the JIT does for us. We don't have a use
for futures though - we currently use threads and places. :-)
On what processors is this expected to work? In particular is the ARMv6
supported (Raspberry Pi)? I have one of those personally for testing.
I noticed that as part of this upgrade COPYING.txt was replaced with the
text of the GPLv3, and references to it replaced with COPYING_LESSER.txt
(which I'm assuming would be the LGPLv3), but I don't see the latter in git.
