Work Items

1/92-12/92, Bernd Mathiske, [Math92]

Dynamic target code generation via C

1/94-8/94, Bernd Mathiske, [Info] [MaSc94b]

A portable and scalable runtime frame program implemented in C

• C-calls and transparent callbacks; Tycoon closures can be passed around and called in C as function pointers;
• Dynamic exception handling in C, Tycoon exception handling and mixtures of both;
• Multi-threading, persistence of threads;
• Basic persistent synchronization mechanisms.
