Re: Free Java compiler - Kiev

[Aaron M. Renn]

First off I think that it is spectacular that Kiev is going to be free
software. Maxim deserves a lot of thanks for this.

Second, I'd like for Classpath to support Kiev extensions that don't
compromise 100% pure java compatibility.  The special Kiev comments look
like they will do the trick.  I think our first priority still needs to be
getting a first release that supports Japhar out the door.  However, going
forward it shouldn't be too much trouble to add in Kiev assertion statements
at the beginning of most methods.  We can go back later and add that to the
existing classes.

What exactly would you like to see us do to support Kiev specific features? 
I'm not familiar enough with the features of it to know for sure what items
we would want to include.
