Changes
=======
Added peephole optimization on the bytecode.
Also, fixed a bug in assignment statements.
AMPC (Axiomatic Multi-Platform C) is a C compiler/IDE targeting the JVM
(generates Java Bytecode). The resulting .class executables will be
able to run on any Java Virtual Machine (tm). AMPC enables programmers
to write/port applications using C targeting the JVM, thus, opening up a
whole new market dimension vis-a-vis JVM-enabled devices such as desktop
systems, PDAs, cell-phones, game consoles, set-top boxes, automotive
systems (GPS based displays, OnStar, Satellite radio systems, etc), and
so forth. AMPC can also be used to turn legacy applications written in
C into JVM applications, with a single source base to manage. Use
existing C skill sets instead of learning new Java skill sets.
AMPC includes a Graphical User Interface (GUI) as part of the Integrated
Development Environment (IDE) for fast and organized software
development.
AMPC is based upon the American National Standards Institute C (ANSI C),
X3.159-1989. There are however a few differences between AMPC and a
fully compliant ANSI C compiler. The differences of AMPC with a fully
compliant ANSI C compiler are described in AMPC's product description.
JNI (JVM Native Interface) support is available for the purpose of
calling native C or C++ functions from AMPC.
AMPC can also generate assembly code for the Jasmin assembler using the
asm() directive.
It also can call most Java classes using the functions INT_java(),
FLOAT_java(), DOUBLE_java(), and so forth.
Hardware Requirements:
- Any x86 compatible computer running MS Windows XP
- Any Macintosh computer running Mac OSX
- Any x86 compatible computer running Linux
- 128MB RAM minimum
Software Requirements:
- JDK 1.5

Thank you and best regards.

Could you kindly give me any Free/Libre and Open Source Software links to
people or projects you know in China, whom I could ask for information
about what's going on there? Many thanks in advance, FN

Subject: Google sponsors FLOSS programme for students
GOOGLE SPONSORS OPEN SOURCE PROGRAM FOR STUDENTS
Google has announced a program called Summer Code in which students
work with open source organizations on coding projects. Google is
accepting applications until June 14, from which it will select up to
200 individuals to participate in the program. Students in the program
can develop their own ideas for development projects or base their work
on ideas from one of the nine open source organizations that are part
of the Summer Code program. Google has taken several steps to support
open source initiatives, including developing a repository for open
source applications related to Google technology and working on
strategies to make its search-engine technology browser-independent.
Summer Code program students will receive $500 from Google when they
are accepted into the program, and projects undertaken must be
completed by September 1. By October 1, participating open source
organizations will announce whether the projects were completed
successfully. Students who complete their projects will receive another
$4,000 from Google.
