Message-ID: <8dabe8463035c3181ba033ac7d104e9f@collyer.net> (raw)
If you're really talking about Plan 9 providing virtual CPUs, I think
it would take significant effort. The VMware folks have done a lot of
hard slogging, in part because the x86 processors are not as well
suited to virtualisation as the IBM 370 was. You'll note that they
tell you up front that you can't run VMware recursively; VM/370 could
be run recursively (e.g., to debug new versions of VM/370). And of
course we have other processors to worry about than just the x86.
As for a C compiler generating Dis, I believe that Dis cannot express
all the things that one can do in C. A free-standing limbo translator
for Plan 9 would be nice though.
