Only 4 days before the project's birthday occurs, then it would have been one year I have worked on this single repository. However, I am fast approaching native code generation. My current work is the Allocator. All the other bits of code have been cleaned up for the most part, packages split apart to increase my build test speed. For the Allocator, the local variables and registers are fixed to a single location. However if any saved values end up being on the stack then they are to be accessed using slower means.


Actually the initial checkin is on the 26th, not the 20th. So 10 days. Although I must keep thinking the 20th because that is likely when I thought of dropping k5 and going for k8. But regardless, it has been quite a ride. I will have to run gitstats after a year. Maybe even add yearly tags, but that might not even be needed at all. The one good thing recently is being able to test my actual recompiler work faster than before. My general code base has changed much.


My CPU mapping by type stuff could be changed so that instead caches based on the CPUData say using a SoftReference. Since the dynamic recompiler will be called much, this information will be recalculated every single time when the CPUData is not even changed. Therefor that would improve performance. If memory does get low enough then it could be freed as needed by the garbage collector and being a soft reference would make it easier to cache.
