If the irony in the name "The Open Group" weren't so tragic, it might
almost be amusing.

Did you follow the Open Group's recommendations for installed versions
of all relevant libraries?

I'm not an Invocation API user, but if you've got some small sample
code, I'll be happy to try it against my installation of the Open Group
JDK.

The Open Group has its own business realities to deal with. Your demand
-- that they adopt your favorite business model for sharing source --
seems an awfully harsh one for judging the merit of their efforts. And
is it necessarily the fastest or surest way of solving your problems?

update: JDK1.1.6 segmentation fault fixed by glibc 2.0.7

1998-08-21 Thread Robert Dodier

Hello all,

I wrote a few days ago about the problem I was having w/ JDK1.1.6
from blackdown.org. When I executed java, a segmentation fault
would happen immediately. I have a RH 5.0 installation.

Someone suggested that I download the most recent glibc package,
which is 2.0.7, to replace the one which came w/ RH 5.0, which is
2.0.6.

At first that didn't help any -- but that's apparently because,
after finding that JDK wouldn't run, I installed kaffe. Which did
run, although kaffe doesn't include a number of classes, so it's
not a complete solution in itself.

So after blowing away kaffe, java from the JDK runs fine! I'm
very happy about this. I will be doing some RMI programming.
(Distributed belief networks -- in case you want to know.)

Thanks for the helpful hints. I'm posting this in the hope that
this note will help someone in a similar situation.

"Open" Group port/Invocation dumps core

1998-08-21 Thread Bernd Kreimeier


I downloaded the whole bulk for one single purpose:
to check whether this native thread port solves
the problem with the Invocation API and green_threads.
Well, v1 dumps cores on me in all my simple test
programs (whether using dlopen or linking against
libjava), which means that I do not even get as far
as with the Blackdown ports (which dump on "open" calls).

If anybody has gotten the v1 version to work with
the Invocation API, I'd like to hear about it. Until
they decide to cooperate with Blackdown on fixes
and diffs, I am going to ignore the "Open" Group port.
I do not have the time to get back to square one.

Survey: does this crash your compiler?

1998-08-21 Thread Dustin Lang


Hi,

I've found the miracle handful of lines of code that crash two out of
three compilers I could find *grin*

The contestants:
javac (Blackdown JDK1.1.6v2 on Linux)
javac (Sun JDK1.1.5 on NT)
jikes (on Linux)
sj (the Symantec compiler on WinNT)

The sole survivor:
jikes

Hehehehe :)

Caution: compiler death below this line
