It's written in C. There are some parts that are in C++ (GNU Classpath's Firefox plugin, for example), but they aren't part of the VM. Using C and C++ makes porting a VM simpler than using Java for its core, as you don't need another VM to bootstrap. Otoh, it's possible to use Java when implementing a JVM core to one's advantage in interesting ways, as the JikesRVM project shows. cheers, dalibor topic _______________________________________________ kaffe mailing list [email protected] http://kaffe.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kaffe
