Hi, in thread [1] I mention a clean room implementation of Double.toString(double) and my willingness to contribute it to the OpenJDK project to fix [2].
As of today, my code resides in a module that exports a package simply named "math". The reason I do not alter the original OpenJDK implementation is that I need it *along* my code to be able to compare results. I developed the code in total ignorance of the OpenJDK implementation, so to speak. This is not the end goal, of course, but the safest way to review/test it without potentially breaking existing code. As a consequence, I wonder how to best deliver my contribution to the OpenJDK project in this phase. As far as I understand, webrev [3] is better suited for *changes* to existing code, not specifically for *new* code. I also understand that attachments are not recommended. On the other hand, pasting some thousands of Java lines in a post on the mailing list isn't practical either, I guess. The code currently consists of about 8 files for a total of about 3000 + 600 lines for code + tests. So, how can I best proceed with this initial delivery?
