Agenda Items Discussed

Updates

  • Nanojit Merge (Edwin/Graydon)
    • Landed nanojit in TC today, Rick and Ed are on tap to get everything merged together.
    • It will be eaiser if we merge things into tamarin redux as opposed to going back to tamarin central.
    • Nanojit in TC will become the canonical branch
    • TC will not be using nanojit to do tracing immediately. Guards will only work in TraceMonkey.
    • There was one feature that got lost in the merge (managing fragments), but it will be added back in.
    • (Andreas) Any plans for testing frameworks for nanojit specifically. (Edwin) We have started working on a generic C++ solution, no concrete plans. Possibly create a text file syntax for LIR use. Textual description of LIR. A LIR/C backend would be interesting as well. Need to do more brainstorming on this topic.
    • Load filter code made it into new version, may speed up guard.
    • Graydon's Status
      • Started merge about a week ago. Passing most of the tests internally. One bug posted – 457786 (using the patch as of last night) ACTION: Copy Edwin on this bug.
      • Little bit of difficulty during integration, but all bugs solved and seems to work fine.
      • Not touching any of the branch code. Tested only on Linux x86.
      • X64 has not yet been tested
      • Bugs were with redux code in general, Ed fixed them and they were integrated into redux code
