CVM

This is the second re-write of the CVM.

The first implementation of the CVM has been made in C which can be reachable at cvm/archive for archive purposes Since the first implementation does not work as intended

The master branch is the current and active version of the CVM which is rewrite in C++

A toy Java Virtual Machine coded in C(and C++). CVM is a simple and lightweight JVM that aims to provide a basic understanding of JVM internals and bytecode execution. This project serves as an educational and fun resource for those interested in learning about JVM implementation details.

Features

• Implementation of a minimalistic JVM in C
• Support for executing Java bytecode
• Basic class loading and method execution
• Instruction set interpretation
