- "Kevin P. Lawton" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Created 'PATCHES' files at top-level.
Added static branch translations from DT prototype. Tested on
FreeDOS/Pragma - both work.
OK, most of the pieces are here now. There's still some more
instructions to deal with translations for, but it's more of the
same stuff. Plex86 is running the guest in 100% DT mode currently,
(though some instructions are translated as INT3 for now)
which is great for testing (abusing) the DT logic. But not
good for performance. Only really active ("hot") code should be DT'd.
Anyways, with enough DT working, on to the next steps:
1) Make plex86 default to running everything in emulation mode.
(should be quick to implement as it can already do this)
2) Let protected mode user code run natively. (Should
be reasonable - I did some of the work previously)
3) Release code for 1) & 2) to CVS. This should be a reasonable
step forward with performance.
4) Gather instruction frequency use and other data from 1),
and DT only active and well behaved code.
