Research

The last time I edited this page I was still a PhD student at McGill and a member of Sable group working under the supervision of Prof. Clark Verbrugge.
In my PhD I am taking a closer look at the runtime interactions between C compilers and Virtual Machines.

Resources

I modified GCC version 4.2.3 to support generation of code that can be safely copied at runtime and used in code-copying interpeters / JIT compilers (whichever genre you believe code-copying technique belongs to).
