Tantalizing gcj Java compiler

Wed Sep 16 09:45:00 GMT 1998

The Java front-end to the GCC compiler is incredibly tantalizing
for all of our embedded projects. We currently are using g++ for all
our embedded work on StrongARMs, Super-H, and A29K processors,
so I built egcs-19980906 for all our embedded targets.
Looks like gcj generates nice assembler code for all our Java class
files, but unfortunately I can't find any info on the meta data formats
generated by the compiler for classes, methods, etc. I know this
is a work in progress, but I really want to know more about the gcj metadata
so I can begin work on our embedded support for this compiler. Is there
any more info (header files, texinfo docs, etc.) about the metadata emitted
by the compiler and the run-time support required to initialize the classes?
