This is the second re-write of the CVM.
The first implementation of the CVM has been made in C which can be reachable at cvm/archive for archive purposes Since the first implementation does not work as intended
The master branch is the current and active version of the CVM which is rewrite in C++
A toy Java Virtual Machine coded in C(and C++). CVM is a simple and lightweight JVM that aims to provide a basic understanding of JVM internals and bytecode execution. This project serves as an educational and fun resource for those interested in learning about JVM implementation details.
- Implementation of a minimalistic JVM in C
- Support for executing Java bytecode
- Basic class loading and method execution
- Instruction set interpretation
Follow these steps to get started with CVM:
-
Clone the Repository:
git clone https://github.com/lvntky/CVM.git cd CVM -
Compile the Source Code:
mkdir build make install
-
Run a Java Program:
./cvm JavaProgram.class
CVM accepts a Java class file as a command-line argument. It loads and executes the main method of the specified class.
Example:
./cvm HelloWorld.classWe welcome contributions to CVM. If you want to add new features, fix bugs, or improve documentation, please follow these steps:
