Hi Volker et. al.,
Was a bug opened to track this ? I still see these files around
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/dev/jdk/file/ff45c582ca8a/src/java.base/aix/native/libjli
Would you like me to create a bug for you ?
Thanks
Kumar

Sorry, but that doesn't sound like a solution to me at all. I think we
should keep the OpenJDK sources self-contained. I don't want to depend
on yet another non-standard, third party library which doesn't even
exist now.
Unless I'm completely misunderstanding, that's not what is being proposed.
What is being proposed is refactoring code that's currently duplicated
across the JVM & JDK into a common library. Such a library would be a
standard Java component, not non-standard and not third-party. I can't see
what the problem is, to be honest.
Volker's comment above was directed at the suggestion of taking the
problematic AIX specific code out of the OpenJDK repositories and create a
separate library with a separate lifecycle somewhere else that OpenJDK for
AIX would then need to depend on. Volker was instead proposing what you
describe.
Thanks Erik, this is exactly what I meant :)
And I think the solution you ssketched in your previous mail is the
right way to address this problem.
Regards,
Volker
