Well, it is very hard to answer. Of course, it should be much easier to
communicate for non English native speaker to have their own language's
mailing list.
But based on some other ML's experience, keeping consistency for discussion
between several languages is a nightmare. Or, we may have risk that some
technical outputs which are discussed in one language are not merged back
to main truck.

So if someone asks my 'opinion', I may say 'no'.

Object Allocation in the heap

Hello All, I was trying to trace through the life-time of an object: what calls the vm makes to allocate an object, and where the object is actually placed etc... one thing that puzzles me is this: in gc_heap_malloc(), essentially a block (small or large depending on size) is removed from the freelist, memset-ted to zero, and returned. but from the object data structure in java_lang_Object.h, i thought that the object was supposed to look like typedef struct Hjava_lang_Object { struct _dispatchTable* dtable; struct _iLock* lock; /* Data follows on immediately */ } Hjava_lang_Object; and there's a macro in object.h #define OBJECT_DATA(OBJ) ((void*)((Hjava_lang_Object*)(OBJ)+1)) so in essence, if we just take a block from the heap, and allocate it with just enough memory for the object data, and memset the whole of it to zero, then where does the metadata(the dtable and the lock) go? or even alternatively, given just a heap block how would i find the metadata for that object? i would be very grateful if someone could give me some pointers here! cheers! --xubacs _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail

Even if kaffe-jp mailing lists exists, I do not think I will be joining it because I am satisfied with the current kaffe mailing list.

Minimum requirement for installation on NetBSD

I's now trying to (re-) install kaffe (I am now using Apr/16's snap from CVS) on i686-NetBSD-1.6. I install netbsd without installing any extra software, and then install gnu-make (because README tells it is the MUST). Then, configure, and gmake generated several problems. 1) Since I don't have 'zip' on this machine, this process tries to use 'kaffe.tools.jar.Jar'. I agree it is clever idea if once you can find Jar program written in java. But the fact is: CLASSPATH=lib:../../../kaffe-snap-030416/libraries/javalib/Klasses.jar.bootstrap KAFFELIBRARYPATH=../../libraries/clib/native/:../../libraries/clib/io/:../../li braries/clib/zip/ ../../kaffe/kaffe/kaffe-bin kaffe.tools.jar.Jar -cvf rt.jar -C lib gnu java javax kaffe org java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: kaffe/tools/jar/Jar 2) I am not so sure whether this realtes to the above or not, but at least libraries/javalib/lib/kaffe/io etc are not created when needed. If needed I can attach make log for this but this time I just send its behavior. Any ideas? Kiyo
