so if someone feels like tackling any of them, go for it, don't wait for me ;) The crash in the shell is particularly worrisome in my opinion.

The crash in the shell was due to kaffe crashing during the compilation of a java file using kjc.

There is still a couple of warnings left, though I'll leave them for later, given that we're in release freeze and all that ;)

In order to get there, you'll need binutils 2.14 and gcc 3.3.1. I'm using gnu make to build kaffe, and a 'distrubution' of kaffe created on a linux box from current CVS by running 'make dist'. One can;t build shared libs on HPUX for some reason, so you need to configure kaffe with --disable-shared.

I haven't looked further into this.

I'd be particularly glad to see the type-punning warnings fixed, as I have no idea what they are about. Jim, you've fixed some type-punning warnings before, could you take a look at those?

I've factored out the type-punning warning producing code into its own function, so it should be easier to fix. I'm not sure what the proper fix is though. Later, after the release ;)

Once the warnings are gone, I hope kaffe will run happily on parisc-hpux again, and on parisc-linux, too ;)

parisc-hpux works mostly for me, it fails 24 regressions tests with the attached patch.

I'll wait for a day before I check it in, as I'd like to hear some comments:

the patch removes the use of mprotect in debugging mode to 'harden' memory areas in the gc. Accoding to hp-ux man pages, mprotect can only be used in conjuction with mmapped files. So I wrote a wrapper function for gc for mprotect on hp-ux and there were illegal access errors, leading to kaffe crashing a little bit later. So my patch removes mprotect usage completely. Is everyone o.k. with that?

cheers,

        * configure.in:
        Don't check for mprotect.

        * configure, config/config.h.in:
        Regenerated. 

        * config/Makefile.am:
        (EXTRA_DIST) Removed unused files parisc/hpux/md.c and parisc/linux/md.c

        * config/Makefile.in:

        * kaffe/kaffevm/mem/gc-mem.c:
        Don't include <sys/mman.h> as we no longer use mprotect.
        [PROT_NONE, HAVE_MPROTECT] Sections removed.
        (gc_block_add,  gc_block_rm, gc_block_alloc) Don't use mprotect on memory 
allocated by sbrk. It breaks on HP-UX.
        
        * kaffe/kaffevm/systems/unix-jthreads/jthread.c:
        (jthreadedFileDescriptor) check if either hpux or __hpux__ is defined. Gcc 
automatically defines one or the other depending on some internals of hp-ux that don't 
matter in this case.

        * libraries/javalib/Makefile.am, libraries/javalib/Makefile.in:
        Regenerated.
