Title: VM simulator in Pharo Level: advanced Possible mentor: Esteban Lorenzano Possible second mentor: Guillermo Polito Description: The VM simulator is a very useful tool when it comes to understand the VM behavior and debugging. However, it does not work in Pharo since long time due to API changes in the core of the system. This project is about bringing the simulator back to life in Pharo to enhance the VM debugging activities. Technical Details: The VM simulator must be ported (or better adapted) and supported by tests. Benefits to the Student: - learn a VM architecture using a higher level language such as Slang to build a VM - understand how several VM components work by debugging and testing them Benefits to the Community: The community will have a tool to debug the VM and be able to evolve it easily.
