This change optimizes the ByteCodeTranslator build process by introducing parallelism in two key areas:

  1. Class Parsing: The directory traversal and class parsing in ByteCodeTranslator.execute now utilizes an ExecutorService to process class files concurrently.
  2. Code Generation: The output generation phase in Parser.writeOutput, specifically updateAllDependencies and the final C code writing loop, now runs in parallel.

To support this concurrency, shared static state in Parser, ByteCodeClass, and BytecodeMethod (such as classes list, constantPool, arrayTypes, writableFields, virtualMethodsInvoked) has been made thread-safe using Collections.synchronizedList/Set.

Additionally:

  • The vm/JavaAPI module's pom.xml was updated to target Java 1.8, as the previous 1.5 target is no longer supported by recent Maven compiler plugins.
  • BytecodeInstructionIntegrationTest.byteCodeTranslatorFilenameFilterMatchesExpectedFiles was updated to robustly locate the FilenameFilter inner class by inspecting interfaces instead of relying on a hardcoded class name (e.g., ByteCodeTranslator$3), which changed due to the addition of anonymous Runnable classes.

…eneration.

* Parallelized file processing in `ByteCodeTranslator.execute` using `ExecutorService`.
* Parallelized dependency updates and file writing in `Parser.writeOutput`.
* Ensured thread safety in `Parser`, `ByteCodeClass`, and `BytecodeMethod` by using synchronized collections and synchronized blocks for shared state.
* Updated `vm/JavaAPI/pom.xml` to use source/target 1.8 to fix build failure.
* Fixed brittle test `BytecodeInstructionIntegrationTest` that relied on anonymous inner class index.

Parallelize class parsing and code generation to improve performance.
Replace unsafe synchronized blocks/collections with ReentrantReadWriteLock and ReentrantLock for robust thread safety.
Update `BytecodeInstructionIntegrationTest` to dynamically locate anonymous classes.

This approach is risky, hard to follow and produced a slower build.
