VMKit version ?? builds with LLVM 2.7 and you can find it on its
<a href="http://vmkit.llvm.org/releases/">web page</a>. The release includes
bug fixes, cleanup and new features. The major changes are:</p>
With the release of LLVM 2.7, VMKit has shifted to a great framework for writing
virtual machines. VMKit now offers precise and efficient garbage collection with
multi-threading support, thanks to the MMTk memory management toolkit, as well
as just in time and ahead of time compilation with LLVM. The major changes in
VMKit 0.27 are:</p>
<ul>
<li>...</li>
<li>Garbage collection: VMKit now uses the MMTk toolkit for garbage collectors.
The first collector to be ported is the MarkSweep collector, which is precise,
and drastically improves the performance of VMKit.</li>
<li>Line number information in the JVM: by using the debug metadata of LLVM, the
JVM now supports precise line number information, useful when printing a stack
trace.</li>
<li>Interface calls in the JVM: we implemented a variant of the Interface Method
Table technique for interface calls in the JVM.
</li>
</ul>
