Hi,
I'd like to make some minor changes to java.lang.String,
java.lang.Float, and java.lang.Double to make then work with Jikes RVM
slightly better. The desired effect of the changes are:
(1) move implementation of java.lang.String.intern() to another
file so we can provide a different implementation for Jikes RVM. We need
to do this to fix a correctness problem with string interning with
classpath + Jikes RVM.
(2) avoid native methods in java.lang.Float and java.lang.Double.
This is performance motivated, and is less important.
One way I could proceed would be to add VMString, VMFloat, and
VMDouble classes and move the bodies of the relevant methods to these new
classes. This seems to be consistent with the way other classes are
structured. If this sounds reasonable, I'd be happy to put together a
patch and submit it. If people have other suggestions that get the same
effect, that would be fine too.
thanks,
--dave
