For Project Panama we have been making a distinction between "source name" (a Kawa identifier in this case) and "carrier name" (a name subject to other formation rules, therefore needing mangling). If your carrier namespace is JVM identifiers, there's no need to transform the source names "package", "int", etc. If your carrier namespace is Java identifiers, you need much more mangling, probably using hex numerals at some points, and you need to mangle keywords like "package" also. "Symbolic freedom" won't help much with Java language interop. I don't see a reason to mangle the Kawa source name "package" using the "symbolic freedom" system, since that system is only for the carrier names that are JVM identifiers. But if you wanted to tweak it anyway, you could consider adding the null prefix "\=". HTH — John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "JVM Languages" group.
