Well, it’s taken a month and a half — and over 2000 lines of code — but I finally got a method out of Shark.

I made a chart showing which bytecodes are implemented, which I’ll keep updated as I progress. The estimated total coverage of 18% is slightly fanciful as it treats all bytecodes as equally complex, with nop having the same weight as new for example. Some codes are marked as complete but untested too. The way the compiler is structured means that in simple cases I can copy and paste whole blocks of bytecodes from the server compiler, so where I was doing one bytecode in a block I’ve copied the lot across. Most of them ought to be fine, but a couple are dubious. I’m still shuffling things around to try and make things less so.

Onwards…
