Hi everyone,
after merging in libclasspath into Kaffe, primlib's missing LINK_* functions broke static builds for riscos. I tried to figure out what primlib does briefly, and gave up rather quickly as the files in native/jni/classpath/primlib.[ch] seem to be rather void of explanatory comments, unfortunately.
Grepping a bit around, it seems that it is unused in GNU Classpath, except for a single test, so I'd like to propose removing the primlib files from the sources along with the test. The files have seen just cosmetic and warning cleanup patches since their introduction.
CC:ing Brian as he introduced them into GNU Classpath.
Haha, funny it was actually John Keiser who introduced them. I show up because they were moved by me from their original location. I'm guessing this library was never used as John originally intended. Looks like some primitive type wrapper library.
I'm sorry about the confusion, Brian. I should have dug deeper into the ChangeLogs :(
If noone speaks up for the files to remain, I'll remove them on Sunday.
cheers, dalibor topic
