I think there's a simple heuristic: When make Klasses fails ;) Ofcourse, this assumes it's ensured the "bootstrap" Klasses.jar isn't used for anything else than that build. I think the C lib changes shouldn't break anything, unless they touch some of the classes actually used. Ofcourse, this is not to say that trying to minimize the bootstrap class-set isn't a good idea, I'm just wondering how you'd do it in reality. I'm not sure there are any programs that would do it automatically, at least if reflection is involved. > the optimized versions should be for testing purposes > only: It is hard enough to trace back bugs to jikes or Or maybe for release-use only; at least then you know any errors are likely to have been introduced by the optimizer ;) -Jukka Santala _______________________________________________ kaffe mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://kaffe.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kaffe
