ЯRotor

Extending Rotor with Structural Reflection to support Dynamic Languages

Prior to download any file from this page, be sure you have read and accepted the License Agreement.

Current version of the ЯRotor research prototype is 2.02 (Stage 4 of our development plan). This prototype includes all the primitives that are related to dynamic inheritance. It has been tested to ensure proper operation. Please note that, due to the inherent complexity of the project implementation and the amount of changes that were performed in some parts of the machine code, we cannot yet ensure glitch-free operation of this research prototype in all possible cases.

Various compressed files are provided, including platform binaries, source code and tests. The contents of these files are provided below:

  • rrotor.2.1.5.binaries.rar This compressed archive contains the binary files of the distribution, with the executables needed to execute tests in ЯRotor. The most important files of this archive are:

    • setenv.bat: A batch file to establish the correct environment to run ЯRotor (clix.exe)
    • README.TXT: Instructions on how to run ЯRotor in current operating systems.
    • /build: The ЯRotor executables, including compiler (csc.exe) and program execution tool (clix.exe)
    • /test: A complete test suite that check the functionality of all the new machine features and its correct behavior.
  • rrotor.2.1.5.source.rar archive contains the source code of our project. It includes all source files that were modified from the SSCLI 1.0 original release. These files are intended to be decompressed and copied over a fresh SSCLI installation, into the folders described in the file. Once placed each file in its correct folder, we only need to rebuild the whole system to build a completely operational ЯRotor virtual machine. These archives contain the following files and folders:

    • README.txt: Instructions on how to build a ЯRotor distribution from the source code files.
    • sscli/: A folder tree structure mimicking the original structure of the SSCLI 1.0 distribution. It's intended to be decompressed into the latter, overwriting all files when prompted.
  • Finally, in the testSuite202.rar archive we provide tests for all the dynamic features incorporated into the system. These include intercession and dynamic inheritance features. A detailed description of these files are provided within the file. The tests are already included in the binary distribution (/test folder).
