Hi, Mikhail, would you please educate me why this helper inlining work depends on mmtk.jar? If only the unboxed classes are used, why can't we write a simple replacement? That's just easy.
Agreed its real easy to do. But I for one would like Harmony to stay as close to MMTk standard interfaces as possible. And the best way to do that is download their *.class files. Otherwise 3 years from now the world will have MMTk vmmagic and Harmony vmmagic that are not identical. Thanks,
