Complete compiler jar and runtime library

abc.bat

Ant task for ajc compatibility
This implements the ajc and iajc tasks with abc. Useful if you already have projects set up to build with ajc, but note that not all features are supported yet.

Javadoc for the abc runtime library
Note that you should not directly refer to any packages in this library other than those under org.aspectj.lang and org.aspectbench.lang.

Online version

abc in individual jars
This is an alternative to abc-complete.jar - possibly useful if you already work with any of these components, or want to experiment with using different versions of them.

Full abc source code
You will first need to compile polyglot and soot to compile this. Copy ant.settings.template to ant.settings and edit it. Now run ant jars.

-src.zip">abc--src.zip

The versions of soot, jasmin and polyglot below are the exact versions that the binaries above were built from, and may be development versions. You might want to obtain the latest versions from the Soot and Polyglot project homepages.

Soot
You will first need to compile polyglot and jasmin. Copy ant.settings.template to ant.settings and edit it to set the variables polyglot.jar, jasmin.jar and jedd.runtime.jar to point to the appropriate files. Edit release.loc to point to an appropriate place. Put ANT_OPTS=-Xmx256M in your ~/.antrc file. Now run ant classesjar.

.tar.gz">soot-.tar.gz
.zip">soot-.zip

Jasmin
Run bin/compile_all.sh, then change to the classes directory and do:
jar -cvf ../lib/jasminclasses-sable-nocup.jar jas/ jasmin/ scm/

.tar.gz">jasmin-.tar.gz
.zip">jasmin-.zip

Polyglot
Run ant polyglot-jar to build.

.tar.gz">polyglot-.tar.gz
.zip">polyglot-.zip

Support jars
The xact-complete jar is needed to build and use the testing harness, and the paddle, jedd-runtime and javabdd jars are needed to support the interprocedural cflow optimisations that are enabled at -O3. The paddle and jedd-runtime jars are made from snapshots of the latest sources at the time this distribution was made. Visit the Paddle, Jedd, JavaBDD and Xact homepages for more information and for source. We also provide source for the version of JavaBDD we use here to comply with the terms of the LGPL, but we recommend that you obtain the latest version from the JavaBDD website in preference for use with anything other than abc.
