Thanks for your reply. I have updated both the source file and the diff file. (URL see in previous post below) I have made the following changes:
- replace C++ style comments with plain C style comments - replace tabs with spaces in source (maybe using VC 2008 as editor in the first place was no good idea ;-)) - remove function releaseStringCopy and call free() directly - fix the types you suggested "path.md.c => path_md.c" and "*(res + len) = 0; => res[len] = L'\0';" I have tried to set up jtreg and run the regression tests. Somehow, I still haven't managed to get all things working. Some tests in ProcessBuilder/Basic.java fail, because the exit code of the invocation of the java child is 6 insted of 0. I am still working on that issue. P.S.: Is there any kind of guide line how to write the comments, so I can fix them as well? -----Original Message----- From: Martin Buchholz [mailto:marti...@google.com] Sent: Dienstag, 17.

I've been busy. (Probably I should not have volunteered for this review.) Heiko, thanks for the patch. JDK engineers (Xueming, Alan?) will need to help with testing, architectural issues, and shepherding. I no longer use windows. I approve of the general approach being taken here. We need a general purpose version of JVM_NativePath, as you have coded it up, but it needs to go into some shared location for use by other JDK native code - not sure quite where that would be. I guess until we have another client for it, living in ProcessImpl_md.c is not so bad. Make sure you run the java.lang regression tests, especially ProcessBuilder/Basic.java There's a fair bit of cleanup that will be required. Use of white space and commenting style are non-standard and will need to be fixed (even if you've copied them from other parts of the JDK) I think the spec for free() guarantees that free(null) is a no-op, and the JDK already relies on this, so no need for releaseStringCopy. Typos/suggestions: path.md.c => path_md.c *(res + len) = 0; => res[len] = L'\0'; Martin On Mon, Mar 9, 2009 at 02:57, Heiko Wagner <heiko.wag...@apis.de> wrote: > This is related to my previous post at > http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/core-libs-dev/2009-February/001145.ht > ml and my first contribution to the JDK7 project.
