I am reading the programming for the Java Virtual Machine by Joshua Engel, and I tried typing in one of the examples in the book. I understand that the book uses Oolong, and I am using Jasmin, however for such a simple example, and because the syntax of Oolong and Jasmin are so similar, I don't see why this doesn't work. As a side note, I haven't been able to find anything about the difference in syntax between Oolong and Jasmin. Could anyone point me towards a resource like this?
Here's the code, exactly as it is in the book:
.class Test
.method static run()I
bipush 9
bipush 6
imul
ireturn
.end method
And when I run Jasmin on this, I get the following errors:
Test.j:2: Warning - Syntax error.
.method
^
Test.j:2: Error - Couldn't repair and continue parse.
.method
^
So what is it that I'm doing wrong?
Jasmin requires .super
keyword after .class
.
The following code should compile fine:
.class Test
.super java/lang/Object
.method static run()I
bipush 9
bipush 6
imul
ireturn
.end method
