Emitting Graal IR

[Renzo Borgatti]

Hi,

I have a language written in Java that generates bytecode dynamically via ASM library. I'm trying to understand feasibility/tradeoffs of emitting IR graphs or CFG block) instead of bytecode. Looking at how this is done in BytecodeParser.java (along with BciBlockMapping::iterateOverBytecodes() and FrameStateBuilder) it looks like it's possible. The question is if you'd consider this a possible approach and if you know of any project using Graal this way (apart from Graal subprojects internally). I'm aware of Truffle, but I'd rather go straight to IR graphs if that's an option. Any reason not to?

Thanks
Renzo
