I've previously written about how to generate the C VM for Slate. The instructions are slightly different now to build the C VM for the CVS version. From Common Lisp (again, I used SBCL on Linux), to generate the C source, compile and run : (load "slate.lisp") './src/init.slate' fileIn. './src/mobius/init.slate' fileIn. './src/mobius/c/init.slate' fileIn. './src/mobius/vm/init.slate' fileIn. VM generateVM: 'vm'. VM buildImage: 'vm.image' &littleEndian: True. make ./vm vm.image 4:08:05 PM

(From a Lambda the Ultimate discussion): LLVM - Low Level Virtual Machine. An open source virtual machine implementation. It includes a front end for C and C++ based on the GCC 3.4 parser, allowing compilation of C/C++ programs to he LLVM virtual machine. 11:44:06 AM
