The Weblog of Chris Double.Building the ActionScript compiler for Tamarin- February 26, 2008 Adobe have released the Flex SDK as open source. The trunk of the SDK repository contains the source to the ActionScript compiler and the GlobalOptimizer component that can be used for generating code used in Tamarin Tracing. To build the asc.jar required by Tamarin, first get a copy of the current source, change to the 'modulesascbuildjava' directory and run 'ant' to build 'asc.jar':$ svn checkout http:opensource.adobe.comsvnopensourceflexsdktrunk flex-sdk$ cd flex-sdkmodulesascbuildjava$ ant..http://www.bluishcoder.co.nz/2008/02/building-actionscript-compiler-for.html Implementing Native Methods in Tamarin Tracing- February 13, 2008 2008-05-20: Minor update to get things working with latest Tamarin Tracing code, and updated times for test runs Tamarin Tracing can be extended by creating native methods. These are methods of a class where the implementation is in C rather than JavaScript. For this example I'll use a native implementation of the fibonacci function and compare it to the JavaScript version in my previous post.A JavaScript function that is implemented in C using the 'native' modifier in the JavaScript source....http://www.bluishcoder.co.nz/2008/02/implementing-native-methods-in-tamarin.html A Quick Introduction to Tamarin Tracing- February 3, 2008 2008-05-20: Fixed some breakage due to changes to the latest Tamarin Tracing source, and updated more recent timing I attended the Tamarin Tech summit at Adobe on Friday. My main interest for attending was to learn more about the tamarin-tracing project. The goal of Tamarin is to produce a high performance ECMAScript 4 implementation. 'Tamarin Tracing' is an implementation that uses a 'tracing jit'. This type of 'just in time compiler' traces code executing during hotspots and compiles it so...http://www.bluishcoder.co.nz/2008/02/quick-introduction-to-tamarin-tracing.html |
