I wouldn't want to tie us to APR like this - I can see us offering an "APR port" that is a peer to the native Windows and Linux.ia32 ports [it would be fun to test performance differences], but not make it the core, shared implementation. > > The main difficulty to implement I/O function using APR was the lack of > modularity in the classlib native code (the other (not portlib) modules > relies on the portlib functions returning OS I/O handles (but APR uses its > own handles)). > > > Please, review the patch and comment if the efforts to move OS/platform > specific code to APR make sense and can be useful. I'm interested in making APR an option, but I do believe that at least right now, APR is tailored in part to different usage requirements than we have in a VM. What would it take to define the gap, and then working w/ APR to make a version that fits our needs (as it may other problem domains)? geir --------------------------------------------------------------------- Terms of use : http://incubator.apache.org/harmony/mailing.html To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
