Query: Waterfall: Primitives Generation on the Fly   Modern languages are typically supported by managed runtimes (Virtual
Machines). Since VMs have to deal with many concepts such as memory management,
abstract execution model and scheduling, they tend to be very complex.
Additionally, VMs have to meet strong performance requirements. This demand of
performance is one of the main reasons why many VMs are built statically. Thus,
design decisions are frozen at compile time preventing changes at runtime. One
clear example is the impossibility to dynamically adapt or change primitives of
the VM once it has been compiled. In this work we present a toolchain that
allows for altering and configuring components such as primitives and plug-ins
at runtime. The main contribution is Waterfall, a dynamic and reflective
translator from Slang, a restricted subset of Smalltalk, to native code.
Waterfall generates primitives on demand and executes them on the fly. We
validate our approach by implementing dynamic primitive modification and
runtime customization of VM plug-ins.
