[Development] V4 porting

[Hausmann Simon]

Hi,

Moth is the portable interpreter that will be used instead of the just-in-time compiler if your platform doesn't support it. It should be chosen automatically for you according to the #ifdefs in qv4global_p.h.

So if you have qtbase compiling, then qml should also work. If you want things to run faster, then you will have to port the JIT.

Hi!
I want to port v4 engine to the new platform. The platform is Linux OS and new processor. The processor looks like intel itanium. It is VLIW and EPIC.
I have a c++/c compilers for the new architecture.

I want to design qt quic qml application for the new platform. As a can see in code, I need v4vm backend for this purpose.

I'm see this:

case use_moth: {
        QV4::EvalISelFactory* iSelFactory = 0;
        if (mode == use_moth) {
            iSelFactory = new QV4::Moth::ISelFactory;
#ifdef V4_ENABLE_JIT
        } else {
            iSelFactory = new QV4::JIT::ISelFactory;
#endif // V4_ENABLE_JIT
        }

        QV4::ExecutionEngine vm(iSelFactory);

        QV4::Scope scope(&vm);
        QV4::ScopedContext ctx(scope, vm.rootContext());



As I understand v4vm has two backends - Moth and Masm.

What is Moth?
