Description: Bootstrap-only compiler kit for a subset of Java(tm)
BOCK is a prototype native compiler, originally intended to enable
a Java(tm) development environment to be bootstrapped from a C-only
environment. It was envisioned that its sole purpose in life would be
to compile the forthcoming "Jackal" Java compiler.
.
BOCK has, since then, gained functionality, and should soon be able
to compile most non-graphical Java programs. Its lack of anything
resembling error checking means that it won't be of much use for
development, but it might be able to generate a reasonably fast binary
version of your program.
.
That said, BOCK is still very much in the pre-alpha testing stage.
It is therefore unlikely to be of use to anyone except dedicated hackers
and developers.
.
Also included is "jcomp", a slightly more friendly front-end for bock,
which compiles programs against the BOCK mini-library and compiles
BOCK's C output to native code in one step.
