[quake3] Implementing VMs for other architectures: what's involved?

[Stephan Reiter]

I'm using the LLVM in my raytracing patch, which should provide for a good starting point for anyone willing to work on this.

    Matt, does this help? http://icculus.org/~phaethon/q3mc/q3vm_specs.html



  That looks excellent. Thanks!

  I certainly like the idea of LLVM though. I assume that by implementing the VM using LLVM, we would remove the need for the existing x86[-64] and PPC VMs and therefore would provide a single common code path.

  Anyone interested in tackling this?
