Fwd: need advice on module structure for ISA-specific sources and classes

[Samuel Audet]

Hello, John,

It is really great to see someone tackling this problem seriously. I 
hope it works out. Actually, I would like to know more about this 
project, but I have not been able to find much information. So I would 
have a couple of questions, if this OK. Please correct me if I am wrong.

 From what I understand of the Panama Project, it would ideally support 
C++, according to your blog post here:
	https://blogs.oracle.com/jrose/entry/the_isthmus_in_the_vm

Is this still the case? If so, I was wondering what was the plan w.r.t 
to that. From your post below, it looks like you are still planning on 
using JNR to become the base of this project, but I cannot find anything 
related to C++ in the source code of JNR here:
	https://github.com/jnr/

Are there more experimental branches of JNR somewhere else? Or has 
support for C++ been dropped? Or something else?

Thank you for any clarifications, and sorry for the intrusion. Keep up 
the good work!

Samuel
