[Qemu-devel] Interpreter for QEMU

[malc]

Hello,

http://www.boblycat.org/~malc/1_iqemu.patch.gz conatains patch against CVS
version of QEMU that adds interpreted i386 target. Im hoping that someone
more apt than me can somehow breed it together with dynamic translator, so
that QEMU will be more viable for DOS emulation (interpreter can help some
with self-modifying code (so loved by DOS programmers) and/or highly
interleaved code/data, when host'spage faults take too much time)

I was able to boot FreeDOS and run some applications with this purely
interpreted target, though apparently there are still some bugs lurking.

To apply the patch:
$ cd cvs/version/of/qemu
$ zcat patch/location/1_iqemu.patch.gz | patch -p1
$ ./configure --target-list="i386-softmmu i386-interp"
$ gmake

Note that: interpreter is currently x86 specific and there is no FPU
support whatsoever.

Sincerely,
malc
