Could anyone help me to understand graal source code?

[Alexandro López Franco]

Hi Doug,

Thanks for your reply and thanks for the link.

The main reason why I'm interested in this project is the chance that
defining an api could provide to add new functionallity into the
compilation process.
This api - with a established internal model for java entities- may provide
the interface for connecting the compiler with external pieces that can
enhance any phase by, for example, providing extra checkings, optimizations
or static code analysis. For me, static code analysis is a important issue,
I'm working on this area.
