Hi all,
I've implemented doubleToLongBits without requring a VMDouble method
of the same name. It would let us remove one method from the VM
interface for the next version, and the corresoponding native code. OK
to commit?
(I'd do the equivalent patch for Float, too).
* java/lang/Double.java (doubleToLongBits): Simplified.

Hi,
if this life makes things easier for you then its a good thing. The
Jikes RVM already does this at the VMDouble level, and just has a
doubleAsRawLongBits magic/native method. So, I'm not sure if this change
shouldn't be pushed down into VMDouble, or at least if it is done in
Double the obsolete doubleToLongBits call in VMDouble should be removed.
Thanks,
Ian
