“…Another approach for running bytecode programs on browsers is to use a bytecode interpreter written in JavaScript. O'Browser [14] shows that this is indeed feasible, at least for short programs. But the performance hit is high.…”

“…It is not optimized for space at the moment. We omitted benchmarks that were too small to give significant results and added several concrete programs: O'Browser [14] examples (minesweeper, sudoku, and boulderdash), an ocamljs [15] example (canvas), and some other small programs (planet and cubes). These programs make more use of external libraries, which explains the large size of the bytecode compared with the source code.…”

We present the design and implementation of a compiler from OCaml bytecode to JavaScript. The compiler first translates the bytecode into a static single-assignment intermediate representation on which optimizations are performed, before generating JavaScript. We believe that taking bytecode as an input instead of a high-level language is a sensible choice. Virtual machines provide a very stable API. Such a compiler is thus easy to maintain. It is also convenient to use, and it can just be added to an existing installation of the development tools. Already-compiled libraries can be used directly, with no need to reinstall anything. Finally, some virtual machines are the target of several languages. A bytecode to JavaScript compiler would make it possible to retarget all these languages to Web browsers at once.

We report our experience in implementing SqueakJS, a bitcompatible implementation of Squeak/Smalltalk written in pure JavaScript. SqueakJS runs entirely in the Web browser with a virtual file system that can be directed to a server or client-side storage. Our implementation is notable for simplicity and performance gained through adaptation to the host object memory and deployment leverage gained through the Lively Web development environment. We present several novel techniques as well as performance measurements for the resulting virtual machine. Much of this experience is potentially relevant to preserving other dynamic language systems and making them available in a browser-based environment.

Non-Intrusive Structural Coverage for Objective Caml

International audienceThis paper presents a non-intrusive method for Objective Caml code coverage analysis. While classic methods rewrite the source code to an instrumented version that will produce traces at runtime, our approach chooses not to rewrite the source code. Instead, we use a virtual machine to monitor instructions execution and produce traces. These low-level traces are used to create a machine code coverage report. Combined with control-flow debug information, they can be analyzed to produce a source code coverage report. The purpose of this approach is to make available a method to generate code coverage analysis with the same binary for testing and for production. Our customized virtual machine respects the same semantics as the original virtual machine; one of its original aspects is that it is implemented in the Objective Caml, the very language we build the tool for.This work is part of the Coverage project, which aims to develop open source tools for safety-critical embedded applications and their code generators
