Hi. I've been looking at the Classpath / GCJ merge status here: http://gcc.gnu.org/java/libgcj-classpath-compare.html
specifically, java.io. Of the un-merged classes, I group them as follows: 1. Classes Doing Native I/O --------------------------- FileDescriptor File FileInputStream FileOutputStream RandomAccessFile 2. Classes Doing Character Encoding ----------------------------------- InputStreamReader OutputStreamWriter 3. Random Classes ----------------- DataOutputStream LineNumberReader PrintStream For #2, it seems that the answer is to switch to NIO. I hear that the Classpath version is not yet functional however. For #1, I have no idea what has been decided regarding native code. Last I checked, we still had a JNI/CNI deadlock going on. For #3, I'm a bit confused. Does anyone have any background on why these classes aren't merged? I poked around the source code, and it does not appear obvious. Are the Classpath versions seriously broken or something? (I already found a few errors that need fixing). I'm thinking about trying to tackle some of the remaining un-merged classes. -- Aaron M.
