Hello,
Some time ago I installed FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE on my home computer and
tried to build original Harmony VM donation [1] + corresponding
classlib on it. In the end of the efforts I've managed to build it and
print something with '-?' argument, but unfortunately an attempt to
run 'Hello, world' app failed.
The algorithm was straighforward - when a compile error happened, I've
tried to fix it in a straightforward way just to make build pass this
stage, and I'm not surprised that the resulted VM doesn't work :)
Maybe the list of those changes will give an idea what things should
be modified to run Harmony on another platform.
Details:
- I've installed FreeBSD with complete sources (compat included).
- JRE was Diablo-JRE from [2].
- added packages (pkg_add -r) libiconv and libxml2
- linker complained about -ldl missing in many places - I've tried to
removed all -ldl entries but finally gave up and symlinked libdl.so
to libc.so
- replaced everywhere #include <malloc.h> with #include <stdlib.h>
- paths to some include files changed and some other includes changed, too
- replaced PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE_NP with PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE
(_NP stands for non-portable, so I believe it's not a big crime)
- mcontext_t has a slighly different structure, for example
uc_mcontext.gregs[REG_EAX] -> uc_mcontext.mc_eax
- sigcontext has a slighly different structure, for example
sigcontext.edi -> sigcontext.sc_edi
- flag for shmem SHM_HUGETLB is missing on FreeBSD - I've just removed it
- hysysinfo.c: changed hysysinfo_get_physical_memory to code taken from [3]
- hysock.c - undefined HAS_RTNETLINK, changed SOL_IPV6 to IPPROTO_IPV6
- hysock.h - undefined GLIBC_R and defined NO_R (maybe better solution
would be ORIGINAL_R and linking with lc_r)
changed
#define OS_IPV6_ADD_MEMBERSHIP IPV6_ADD_MEMBERSHIP
#define OS_IPV6_DROP_MEMBERSHIP IPV6_DROP_MEMBERSHIP
to
#define OS_IPV6_ADD_MEMBERSHIP IPV6_JOIN_GROUP
#define OS_IPV6_DROP_MEMBERSHIP IPV6_LEAVE_GROUP
- thrdsup.c - commented out _FPU_GETCW and _FPU_SETCW
- hysiglinux.c - changed sigvec signature
sigvec (int sig, const struct sigvec *invec, struct sigvec *outvec)
to
sigvec (int sig, struct sigvec *invec, struct sigvec *outvec)
- pdsimpl.c - removed option SO_BINDTODEVICE (changed to 0). As far as
I understand, code with that flag returns available network interfaces
- I believe there's a possibility to rewrite in in a FreeBSD way.
Threads are a big problem. On Linux pthread_t is an unsigned int, on
FreeBSD - pthread* .
So things like code from gc_v4.cpp :
for (unsigned int i = 0; i < get_num_worker_threads() ; i++) {
// Point the GC thread to the GC object
_gc_threads[i] = new GC_Thread(this, i);
assert(_gc_threads[i]);
}
won't work. I've just added cast to pthread_t but obviously this is
not a proper solution.
After these modifications all modules compiled but linker complained
that some log4cxx functions with wchar_t couldn't be found. Adding
-DLOG4CXX_HAS_WCHAR_T=1 and -D__STDC_ISO_10646__=1 flags to log4xcc
compilation helped . After that ij compiled but attempt to run it
crashed on mutexes. Those calls to mutexes were in sections surrounded
with #if APR_HAS_THREADS and it's no wonder I've recompiled log4cxx
with -DAPR_HAS_THREADS=0 . After that ij finally printed the list of
its options given the -? argument.
I've tried to play with the code further trying to make it run 'Hello,
world' app but failed.
Hope it makes some sence.
