The README for HARMONY-14 class libraries contribution says that the currently supported configurations are "win.IA32" or "linux.IA32". Some classes have also dependencies on ICU4C and ICU4JNI libraries which are included as 32-bit binaries with the contribution. I wonder what people think how we could extend it to support any 64-bit platforms? More specifically: - are there any plans to commit 64-bit binaries of ICU4C and ICU4JNI, say, for EM64T or IPF (Itanium Platform Family)?
Seems like we have them now. Thanks for volunteering! There is no reason why we wouldn't do this.
- will it be possible to compile and run the current implementation of Harmony class libraries on 64-bit platforms, provided that the 64-bit binaries of ICU and 64-bit VM are in place? At least the file 'native-src\linux.IA32\port\hysignal.c' seems to be IA32-specific as it contains information about IA32 registers. The files 'thrhelp.s' and 'thrspinlock.s' in the 'thread' directory are also the examples of IA32-specific code.
This is up to us, and I think the answer is "certainly". Someone just needs to do the work.
You know where to post the code :) geir
Thank you, Andrey Chernyshev Intel Managed Runtime Division
