|
||||
Salama is maybe the first successful attempt at writing a virtual machine without the use
|
||||
of c or c tools.
|
||||
It defines and implements an object virtual machine completely in object oriented terms,
|
||||
using ruby to bootstrap itself.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Just some of the features, most of which would not be possible in c:
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li> Linked-List, not stack, based </li>
|
||||
<li> Multiple return addresses based on type </li>
|
||||
<li> Multiple implementations per function based on type </li>
|
||||
<li> Implicit type tracking using adaptive code</li>
|
||||
<li> Explicit <a href="/2015/06/20/the-static-call-chain.html">message and frame objects</a></li>
|
||||
<li> <a href="http://book.salama-vm.org/register/machine.html">Register machine abstraction</a></li>
|
||||
<li> <a href="http://book.salama-vm.org/object/instructions.html">Extensible instruction set</a></li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
Off course salama contains a parser (PEG based) and a binary executable generation
|
||||
layer (in ruby)</li>

<h2 class="center">Status</h2>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
While the project is just getting on two years, it is starting to settle conceptually,
|
||||
progress smoothly, and produce <b>working binaries</b>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
In numbers, there are over <b>1000 commits</b>, 6 sub-projects, more than 10k lines of code
|
||||
and well over 600 tests.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Maybe more importantly there is <a href"/book.html">good documentation</a> along with an
|
||||
evolved idea of how most of the difficult issues are solved. So while the executables are
|
||||
still of the "Hello world" quality, there are no coneptual problems anymore.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
There is also an interpreter (mostly for testing) and a basic
|
||||
<a href="https://github.com/salama/salama-debugger"> visual debugger</a> which not only helps
|
||||
debugging, but also understanding of the machine.

The short introduction is under the <a href="/salama/layers.html">architecture</a> menu.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The full documentation is in form of a gitbook and can be <a href="/book.html">viewed</a> ,
|
||||
and <a href="https://github.com/salama/object-machine">edited</a>
|
||||

|

<p>
|
||||
The <a href="/project/motivation.html">about</a> section has some info of when and how this
|
||||
started. If you feel like contributing <a href="/contribute.html">read this</a>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Last but not least, i try to get recent developments down on paper when they are still
|
||||
fresh, which you can read in the <a href="/news.html">news</a> section.
