Alright, I think I _finally_ managed to get pandoc working. It still ended up 
changing the other html files despite me using the correct version, so I had to 
manually revert the changes. Other than that, the generated documentation now 
seems to be correct when compared, and on a side note it also seems to have 
updated some documentation from commit 
https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/commit/6fab8a2d6a97dbd2ffceca275716d020cb9f1eea 
where someone else forgot to update the html copy of the docs. I doubt creating 
a new issue for that alone is worth it though

Hi all,

Yes, I was referring to what Magnus mentioned about the file associations.
Hopefully this can be ignored, since I wasn't in a very clear state of mind

I suspect you used a different version of pandoc - hence the incidental changes.

It also appears that the previous changes to building.md were not used to 
regenerate building.html.

nit: `callerModule` variable is not needed.  It can simply do:

return (caller != null) ? caller.getModule()
: 
ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader().getUnnamedModule();

As the build documentation says, the standard autoconf tripled was created for 
building Canadian cross compilers (i.e. cross-compiling a cross-compiler). This 
means that they use "host" for what we call "target", and they use "target" for 
something that is not relevant for us. This caused a lot of confusion early on 
when OpenJDK started using autoconf.

If you know what you are doing, there's nothing inherently *wrong* with using 
the autoconf triplet. It's just confusing, due to the name clash of "target".

If you think this is not clear enough from the documenation and need to add 
something to the warnings printed by the configure wrapper, sure, go ahead and 
add a line about how this can be confusing. 

But it is not unsafe.

Would it be better if I changed that to say the flags are misleading, or if I

Windows confusing object file names for other file types

2022-03-03 Thread Julian Waters
Windows seems to commonly confuse object file names that are created during
the build process, despite .obj being the normal file format for object
files on it (Weirdly enough), which is pretty likely because of pre-defined
registry entries and applications that come together with it with fresh
installs. This does sort of make it a pretty troublesome issue to solve,
and I can't really think of any good all encompassing fix other than to
change the object file suffix to something else (Which would be pretty
simple to do but I don't know if that would have any unwanted side effects
elsewhere), I'm not sure if this is something the proposed solution would
be ok for or if there are better ways to do this?

best regards,
Julian

This is looking much better. Apart from the "unsafe" comment, the only thing 
remaining is that you update building.html by running `make update-build-docs`.

make/autoconf/configure line 298:

> 296: exit 1
> 297:   else

The autoconf flags are not really unsafe, they are just misleadingly named. I'd 
rather see that you restore "legacy" in this output, and the 
conf_legacy_crosscompile variable name.
