nogc.cc & darwin

Thu Jan 24 13:05:00 GMT 2002

Hi all,
during my adventure on bringing libjava to work on darwin I struggle
over a few items where I'd like to get your opinions.
First, Bryce already helped me (thanks, needed a day off and a few cups
of coffee), in nogc.cc I fail to compile here _Jv_AllocPtrFreeObj since 
ptr_t is not defined. (and a few more places, see below)
Second, two functions are not defined in nogc.cc, they are used in java/lang/ref/natReference.cc.
_Jv_GCCanReclaimSoftReference (jobject) and
_Jv_GCRegisterDisappearingLink (jobject *objp)
I implemented them as 'null' functions, copied from boehm.cc. Is this
correct? 
This should not be a patch, more a RFC. I couldn't test now. If the way
is ok I'll deliver a patch.
Third, I have an undefined symbol where I struggle as well. When linking
I miss the symbol _sqrtf. My search led to the point that this
symbol/function is in libstdc++.a but this one isn't on the linking libs
list. Well, I didn't say --disabled-shared because I assumed that this
is default on darwin.
Do I have explicitly say disable-shared?
And last, how about patches, I see different formats diff -rcs or diff
-u, which one is preferred? I prefer -u since it uses less space, but
I'm open to do as expected.
And finally the diff, as said, this one should not be applied since I
couldn't test so far and I'd like to hear your opinion.
Thanks in advance!
Andreas
