Hi all!
I'm wondering what would be involved in making a Delphi to bytecode
compiler... Does anyone have any experience writing compilers, that
could give me some advice?
The reason I think this would be useful, is that it would broaden the
scope of the Java platform, enabling many languages to be used (just
like .NET). There are already several langages (e.g. Java, Jython,
Groovy, and perhaps others), but it would be nice to have a language as
close as possible to Delphi syntax that could likewise compile into
bytecode. This would greatly facilitate converting projects from Delphi
to Java.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

An ambitious project.
You might want to look for the book:
Programming for the Java Virtual Machine
Joshua Engel
which talks quite a lot about compiling non-Java to run on the JVM.
It might be that the book
Compiling for the .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR)
John Gough
would be even better in some ways. It largely focuses on running Component
Pascal on the CLR, and although the CRL is not the same as the JVM, there are
many similarities. The same implementation (gpcp) is also able to generate
Java bytecodes, so the author is JVM-aware and occasionally mentions JVM issues
in the book. The implementation is on the Web somewhere (you can Google for
"Component Pascal" and "gpcp" as easily as I) so you may be able to find
material about the JVM implementation if you look around a bit.

Hi,
I wanted to do the same for my own language and wrote a library (still
working on it)
in C that allows to read/write Java bytecode

A couple of years ago Borland actually developed a prototype of a
Delphi->Java Bytecode compiler. But as far as I remember they never got
beyond console applications and considered the effort of translating VCL
code to Swing as too much. You could google the Borland newsgroups for
information about this project.

Hi,
I've been using Python for about 2 years now, for my honours project and
now my postgrad project. I must say that I am loving it more and more
now. From my knowledge, Python bytecodes are not back-compatible. I must
say that my technical background isn't strong enough but is there any
good reason for not being back-compatible in bytecodes?
My problem is not about pure python modules or libraries but the problem
is with 3rd party...

Hi,
I've been trying to compile perl scripts into bytecode. Now, from what I

script.pl to do this (whats the difference between these two methods anyway
?).
If I use perl -MO=bytecode, both versions I've tried dump seemingly random
ascii characters to the screen. ActivePerl-5.8 completes with 'script syntax
OK' while the standard redhat perl completes with 'No...

Hi folks!
I'm looking for a way to compile python source to bytecode instead of
code-objects. Is there a possibility to do that? The reason is: I want
to store pure bytecode with no additional data.
The second question is, therefore: How can I get the correct values
for a given bytecode, such as the stacksize and flags attributes of
the correspondent code object?

I would like to compile an AST to bytecode, so I can eval it later. I

Any hints?

For all you bytecode enthusiasts: 'compiler2' is an alternative to the standard

Improved pure-python compiler
- Produces identical bytecode* to the built-in compile function for all /Lib

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
