Would it not be simpler to add a VMClassLoader class to libgcj that
implements the getPrimitiveClass() method?
It seems that with gcj that method is very simple. Something like:
static Class getPrimitiveClass(Sting name) {
if ("boolean".equals(name))
return boolean.class;
if ("char".equals(name))
return char.class;
if ("float".equals(name))
return float.class;
if ("double".equals(name))
return double.class;
if ("byte".equals(name))
return byte.class;
if ("short".equals(name))
return short.class;
if ("int".equals(name))
return int.class;
if ("long".equals(name))
return long.class;
if ("void".equals(name))
return void.class;
throw new ClassNotFoundError("No primitive class: " + name);
}
That way all VMs are treated equal.
Cheers,
Mark
