dear all
as first post to list surpose I should say who I am
I am john born of mister jones
I am doing a degree in "Software Engineering Management" (dont comment on
the title please)
I am currently on placment or internship for a year with ARM (the
microprocessor people)
I like the java methodology of writeing computer code (-;
I am a geek with a life outside of the office (sometimes)
I respect other peoples veiws and opinions
NOW
first of all java and jikes
jikes is written in C++ (ik I dont like it but hey people have got very
good @ writeing it)
jikes executes in native code and not bytecode this makes it fast
jikes can do wonderfull things with memory because it is native and VM are
memory intensive and slow as buggery to clean up and realocate memory
jikes preforms very little optermiseations apon the java to produce bytecode
the rational behind this is that the JIT should do this for you and so guess
what IBM JIT preforms alot of optermisations and is very fast
jikes parser exhibits very stict adherance to the java spec many people use
this as a test of code
wild speculation follows >
the error might be that main is in many parts of the source (as it should be
for testing modules) and main proper is not marked as main
wild
I just thought that I would point out above (exclude dum solution) because
people get confused about how jikes might make it faster and it makes it
slower if not running a JIT which preforms optermiseations @ runtime
my 2p
regards
john
