Features/TCI
Summary
On this page we are collecting the current state of the TCG Interpreter (= TCI) implementation for Qemu.
TCI allows running QEMU on any 32 or 64 bit host (while the current QEMU only supports the most important host architectures like x86, arm, mips, ppc, s390, sparc).
See http://repo.or.cz/w/qemu/ar7.git/blob_plain/HEAD:/tcg/bytecode/README for more details.

Status
Old versions of the TCG interpreter were already published on the mailing list (qemu-devel). The latest version which includes many fixes and improvements still has to be published before it can be committed to the official QEMU release.
- Tested on x86 (32 and 64 bit), arm, mips (emulated) and ppc (emulated) hosts running Debian GNU Linux or MS Windows.
- Tested with i386, x86_64, mips and other emulations in system and user mode.
TODOs
- Publish and discuss latest code on qemu-devel.
- Add better disassembler.
- Run more tests (especially with new hosts).
- Commit code to official QEMU.
Code
We are currently keeping the code in a separate git repository.
