[ANN] first 64 bits windows VM Running

Hi,

I've finally compiled a 64bits VM for windows via cygwin64 / x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc

It's a squeak.stack.spur (squeak.cog.spur fails somewhere in the longjmp to interpreter).

There's a bunch of unpublished changes required, and a bunch of -Wint-to-pointer-cast / pointer-to-int-cast (conversion from/to pointer to/from integer of different size) that must be handled in plugins (D3D, sound, mpeg, ...)

But that's already a good starting point.

Very cool :-D

Congratulations.

I've never had the courage to compile on windows. I'm glad you had :-)

Hah! Likewise. I think the last time I compiled anything on Windows must have been ’94.

Congratulations Nicolas! This is great!

For some reason the original announcement did not show up in my mailbox, but
I see that it is in the mail archive so in case anyone else missed it, the
announcement with a screen shot is here:

Re: [ANN] first 64 bits windows VM Running

The recipe for compiling on windows: install cygwin and pretend it's unix...
With Eliot's mvm scripts and gnu make, it's essentially same job on linux and macosx...

Note that gcc 4.9.3 -O2 does not perform a good job...

For example 2.0*3.0 answers 4.0 for the fast version (mvm -f).

All is correct for the debug version (mvm -d).

clang seems to be performing better, this means that we'll have to play with compiler options again...

Or better: eliminate Undefined Behavior which is most probably the cause of problems

(There is some in SmallFloat handling, shifting left negative int, pointer aliasing, etc...)

Re: [ANN] first 64 bits windows VM Running

Cool, thanks for putting in that work Nicolas.

Does that mean you are building essentially a Linux VM? That would mean it uses cygwin.dll and that it cannot easily call out to Windows libraries, no?

Best,
Tim

Hi Tim,

no it's a windows VM, that's why I commit all these tiny changes essentially to platforms/win32.

The VMMaker part is at http://smalltalkhub.com/mc/nice/NiceVMExperiments/main in VMMaker.oscogLLP64 branch.
