Andi Vajda commented on LUCENE-507: ----------------------------------- My apologies, I didn't notice this until it was mentioned today. The "//required by gcj" comment is not something I added or need. The few patches for gcj support that were added at my request are listed as such in the Lucene sources. The main one has to do with gcj's bug 15411 in Searcher.java, the other with naming a method 'delete'. In general, it is easier to use javac or jikes to compile the .java sources to .class files and then use gcj on the resulting .class (or .jar) files to produce native binaries. Thus, one runs around a number of bugs in the gcj java compiler front-end. Still, there are some patches I need to apply to Lucene in order for it to run when compiled with gcj. Some are in QueryParser.java and the first of those could be applied to the actual .jj file instead, see here: http://svn.osafoundation.org/pylucene/trunk/patches.lucene The next patches in the file above are because of limitations in gcjh (the Java to C++ header file generator) or because exception catching doesn't seem to work well with gcj on Windows. Throwing and catching exceptions in Java is not such an efficient coding practice when there isn't an actual error, maybe the code in FieldInfos.java could be changed then (see patch file above) ? As for the last patch, well, the java runtime that comes with gcj 3.x doesn't implement regex, so PyLucene calls into python's regex support instead. > CLONE -[PATCH] remove unused variables > -------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-507 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-507 > Project: Lucene - Java > Type: Improvement > Components: Search > Versions: unspecified > Environment: Operating System: other > Platform: Other > Reporter: Steven Tamm > Assignee: Lucene Developers > Priority: Minor > Attachments: Unused.patch > > Seems I'm the only person who has the "unused variable" warning turned on in > Eclipse :-) This patch removes those unused variables and imports (for now > only in the "search" package).
