------- Additional Comments From ovidr at users dot sourceforge dot net 2005-06-08 21:14 ------- Since this bug seems a bit lost, I've been trying some things on my own without success.
Can someone please explain: If "referent" is just a RawData pointer to some Object, how are its previous finalizers supposed to be found? How to append them along with the new finalizer in the correct order (order matters?) to GC_REGISTER_FINALIZER_NO_ORDER (GC_register_finalizer_inner(obj, fn, cd, ofn, ocd, mp)) which seems to be what is used in natObject.cc? The comments in this bug seem to suggest that there is some similar code somewhere that I could lift and hook into natReference.create, but all the code in natObject and String.intern finalization looks very different to my novice-gcj eyes since they don't seem to be working with some foreign object, nor with finalizers that aren't already locally stored in a struct. Secondly, is there any way to craft a testcase for this to know if it has been fixed? I don't fully understand why (based on comment #6) this would ever cause a crash, and waiting many days for the crash of my apps is a very tedious process. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18266
