VIXL simulator for ART (Stage1)
Quick User Guide: test/README.simulator.md
This CL enables running ART run-tests in a simulator on host machine.
Some benefits of using this simulator approach:
- No need to use a target device at all.
Save developers from solving the device troubles: build, flash, usb,
adb, etc.
- Speed up development/debug/test cycle.
- Allows easy debugging/testing new instruction features without real
hardware.
- Allows using a smaller AOSP Android manifest master-art.
The Stage1 CL provides support for running 30% of current run-tests.
The rest unsupported test cases are kept in knownfailures.json.
Future work will be supporting proper stack frame layout between
simulator and quick entrypoints, so that stack walk,
QuickArgumentVisitor, deoptimization, etc can be supported.
This CL adds libart(d)-simulator-container library to the ART APEX. It
has cause the following increase of the APEX size (small, about 0.13% for
release APEX, measured for target aosp_arm64-userdebug):
