LanguageKit Interpreter

[Eric Wasylishen-2]

Hey,
I spent some time this past weekend getting the LanguageKit  
interpreter working. Right now, it's passing all but three tests  
(TestMutRecursiveClassDefs, TestPrototypes, TestRetainOnlyOnce) on OS  
X 10.6  :-) Also, with a bit of tweaking to remove the .gorm file, I  
got ObjectManager.app to work on OS X, which is pretty cool :).

If anyone wants to give it a try it's in /branches/ericwa/LanguageKit.  
You will need libffi and libgmp installed from MacPorts. It doesn't  
yet work on GNUstep because ObjectiveC2's objc_allocateClassPair() and  
objc_registerClassPair() aren't working. (I think  
objc_registerClassPair()  needs to call __objc_add_class_to_hash(),  
but that alone doesn't fix it.)

David:  Sorry, I didn't get a chance to set up a page on the website  
for LanguageKit. Maybe there is still time, though. (We wanted to get  
LK listed in the LLVM 2.6 release notes, but to do that we should have  
at least some kind of web page, and a version of LK that works with  
LLVM 2.6.) I might have time later in the week..

I'd like to merge the interpreter to trunk as soon as possible: it  
would be nice to be able to include it when we do the EtoileUI  
release. Should I put a diff on the review board first?

Regards,
Eric

Hmm, that's odd.  They were working for me; I'll take a look and see  
what's wrong with them.

Yes please.  I've glanced over the code a few times, but a proper  
review before committing would be good.

Sounds really cool :-) I'll give it a try.

Cheers,
Quentin.

I just put it up on the review board. There was an error when I  
pressed "publish" so I'm not sure if the notification email went out.
