Re: [Qemu-devel] arm-linux-user, i386-linux-user: Make QEMU act as TCG compiler

[Rajat Goyal]

Hi Peter,

Would QEMU developers be interested in integrating this TCG compilation functionality that I have been working on into later releases of QEMU? The patch I have right now breaks the original emulation but if there is some interest in supporting static compilation into TCG in the future, I can submit a clean patch which does not break emulation but instead adds a run-time option to generate TCG compilation. I would be grateful if you could let me know.

Many thanks in anticipation.

With warm regards,
Rajat.

QEMU as a dynamic translator is already available. This adds extra functionality to QEMU. I needed to do this since I wanted to explore the ARM memory model over TCG micro-operations; so I needed translation of the whole binary and not just the parts which QEMU needs to execute. Don't know if others would find this feature useful.

Rajat.

Hi Rajat,

 Great work! It seems this is a kind of like static compilation, right? I think
people are more interested in using QEMU as a dynamic translator as a library.
Would you mind to tell me what scenario your work aims to?
