JIT/Hotspot/Interpretor Information

1999-12-08 Thread Gerald Gutierrez
With all the recent news regarding Java/Linux (and being hit by the idea that there really isn't any useable open source Java engine), I became interested in the general topic of JITs, Hotspot-type engines (what's it called .. dynamic compilation?) and bytecode interpretors. Can anyone recommend

Green/Native threads

1999-02-06 Thread Gerald Gutierrez
The difference between "green" threads and "native" threads is that in the latter the operating system provides for thread support while in the former the application, in this case a JVM, builds its own thread support on top of one native thread. Hence, if a JVM's green thread implementation doe

SUN "supports" Java on Linux?

1999-02-05 Thread Gerald Gutierrez
So what exactly did SUN do when they spoke of their "support of the Linux developer community" (http://java.sun.com/pr/1998/11/pr981102-01.html)? I've heard that they released the JDK1.2 source to Blackdown prior to their releasing the final JDK1.2 on their web site, but surely this couldn't have

As mentioned below, class files are MSB. That is defined in the Java specification. For serialized objects, one only has to look at the serialization source code. The specification also indicates that a VM's internal representation is implementation dependent. The common sense of most people who

Sun's ORB & Java-Linux

Has anyone got Sun's ORB to work with Linux's Java port ? I'd like to use CORBA with Java but it says on Sun's web page that JavAIDL is for JDK1.2 only. It'd also be great if the ORB is actually stable. Suggestions for alternative ORBs perhaps ? Thanks.

Where is Java Image -> X11 Image code ?

1998-10-10 Thread Gerald Gutierrez
I sent this message before, but I don't think it made it to the list, so I'm trying again. I'm looking for the C code which converts a Java image ( in the form of an int array ) into the coorsponding X11 image. I thought it would be straightforward, but I can't seem to find it. The closest I got

Where is code for Java image -> X11 Image ?

1998-10-09 Thread Gerald Gutierrez
I've been looking at the 1.1.7 source code. I'd like to find the C code which takes a Java image in int array format, like what is passed to a MemoryImageSource, and converts it into an X11 image for display. I think it's somewhere inside the src/solaris tree in a directory with a bunch of awt_*.c

How long will it take to port 1.1.7 ?

1998-10-02 Thread Gerald Gutierrez
I'm curious. How long does it usually take to port the full 1.1 JDK ? I'd guess that since all the 1.1.x are all just bugfixes of the previous version, the changes shouldn't be that extensive. Having all the changes made to the previous versions should speed things up too. Am I wrong ?

JDK & native threads

1998-09-23 Thread Gerald Gutierrez
I'm starting to pull out my hair from the fact that the current JDK is based on user threads. I can't call anything that can potentially block, because everything will block. An alternative is Kaffe, but it's too incomplete to be usable right now. Is anyone working on producing a version of the J
