------- Additional Comments From rspencer at x10sys dot com 2005-05-03 22:16 ------- I don't see how that is possible on the application side as the source code is 100% Java and it is all compiled with the same options (there's only one compilation command that compiles all sources). Perhaps you are suggesting that libgcj is compiled differently from the application? If so, shouldn't the default compilation flags automatically work correctly with libgcj? The only flags given are "-g -02".
So, I tried your suggestion. I compiled JING with HotSpot 1.4.2. It compiled fine to .class files via javac 1.4.2. I compiled the .class files (one command line again) with GCJ using the -findirect-dispatch option. GCJ gave hundreds of errors. Most of the errors were about "finalized field 'xyz' may not have been initialized". That sounds more like a warning to me, but I wouldn't know. I take it that GCJ doesn't like foreign compiled .class files? I'm not sure where to go from here except to give up on GCJ. Any other suggestions? -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21326
