1 Dalvik Virtual Machine 2 3 4 Source code rules of the road: 5 6 - All externally-visible function names must start with "dvm" to avoid 7 namespace clashes. Use static functions when possible. 8 9 - Do not create static variables (globally or locally). Do not create 10 global variables. Keep everything with non-local lifespan in "gDvm", 11 defined in Globals.h, so that all global VM state is in one place. 12 13 - Use "startup" and "shutdown" functions to clean up gDvm. The VM must 14 exit cleanly in valgrind. 15 16 - The primary target is ARM Linux. Others are secondary, but must still 17 work correctly. 18 19 - Use of gcc-specific and C99 constructs is allowed. 20
