Take a look at the PlatformAddress type and see if that already does what you want. http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/incubator/harmony/enhanced/classlib/trunk/modules/luni/src/main/java/org/apache/harmony/luni/platform/struct/PlatformAddress.java?view=markup >> By the way jchevm's Thread.setPriority() doesn't work because >> I don't know how to implement it using POSIX. >> >>> 2) >>> I commented out some stuff in bootstrap.c that was dragging in >>> specific gnu classpath *.class files like "Lgnu/classpath/Pointer;" >>> We should discuss the best solution for this item. >> This is use as part of the NIO implementation for "direct" buffers. >> A Pointer object simply contains an int or long that holds a void *. >> >>> One last item.

AFAIK you only have read access across the whole repository, but you can send it in via JIRA and somebody can drop it in for you.
