Re: [jchevm] native method API for _jc_new_intern_string -- do you plan to add to _jc_ilib_entry table?

[Geir Magnusson Jr]

could it throw an Error rather than while(true)?  Much easier to debug... :)

Sure, we can add it to the KERNEL module stubs so people can choose to
reuse it or replace it as they see fit.  Care to contribute yours?

OK. But I warn you its really stupid, really simple and... its never
even been compiled.  Below is the code:

private String [] internArray = new String[256];
    public String intern()
    {
        System.out.println("String.intern() is not fully implemented");

        for (int ii = 0; ii < internArray.length; ii++)
        {
            if (this.equals(internArray[ii]))
                return internArray[ii];
            if (internArray[ii] == null)
            {
                internArray[ii] = this;
                return this;
            }
        }
        while (true)
            System.out.println("String.intern() --- error, overflowed
intern storage");
    }
