AFAIK, it was never integrated in the public version of Kaffe. TVT
used to sell it commercially, but I heard it was dead a while ago.
Tim, please correct me if I'm mistaken.

No point in mentioning .class files in CLASSPATH. Only directories

The tests done by configure that try to detect the size of certain

by hand, or rebuild configure using a recent pre-release of autoconf
(2.49d, for example), in which these tests are done with a compile

impossible to do in a cross-compilation environment.
The variables you'll want to set in config.cache or in your

Yep. On systems that support it, adding -Wl,-Bsymbolic to the link
command should be enough. I don't think there's any alternate
spelling for this switch, so it's kind of pointless to support it in
libtool. Well, it could always discard the switch on platforms in
which it isn't supported, but I have trouble trying to convince myself
it's any better than having to explicitly test for it, and possibly

The notion of shared library extension varies from system to system.
Also, in some cases, shared libraries have to be linked with libgcc in
order to get some C support functions. These are two potential
problem spots, that you're saved from if you use libtool to create
your shared libraries.
However, since you don't, check that libltdl is using the correct
shared library extension (look for LTDL_SHLIB_EXT in libltdl/config.h,
in the build tree) and try to use GCC for linking.

They must be able to license the code to their customers under
different licenses. Same issue with libgcj: Cygnus (now Red Hat) took
a different approach of requiring copyright assignments, just like

It's not just Kaffe that must be compiled with -fPIC. In fact, it's
alreayd compiled with -fPIC by default. It's any other libraries that
Kaffe uses, such as zlib, gmp, etc (see FAQ/FAQ.requiredlibraries)
that must be shared libraries or at least built with -fPIC.
The alternative is to upgrade glibc to some recent release that
doesn't present this dynamic linker bug.

Agreed. I think we can keep the code to enable fairness `#ifdef'ed

I think you'd have to build with a native (non-cygwin/mingwin) Win32

Edouard recently reported a similar problem, but starting the build
from a clean tree fixed it up. Probably it was just some remnant from
the buggy libtool that lived in the Kaffe CVS tree for a few days,
fixed with the update that shortly followed. If you still get the
problem, after starting with a clean tree, please let me know.

I see :-)
But that's not the point. Standards say that, when you run `make;
make install', `make install' mustn't do anything. That's because
many people configure/build as one user and `make install' as
another. In this case, relinking the executable would be exactly the
wrong thing to do.
And then, there are `make's that don't support .PHONY, so you can't
get what you want that way.
I'm removing the .PHONY part and replacing it with a dependency on
ChangeLog and config.status, as I had suggested, so that we comply
with standards or, at least, with users' expectations.
If you want this file to be updated every time you compile, you can
hack your local copy of Kaffe to do it. I believe most people will
prefer that executables aren't rebuilt every time they `make'.

Indeed, thanks. I wonder which version of autoconf you've used,
though. Since 1999-12-09, automake wouldn't have worked with autoconf
2.13, the latest stable release, because of some a quoting problem
related with backticks in error messages (hi, Pavel :-). I've just
fixed automake to work with both autoconf 2.13 and CVS autoconf,
created a new snapshot, updated the FAQ and committed the new
Makefiles.

Since version-info.h is created, you should probably add a dependency
of version.o on it. Or you could simply not create version.c, and
just add the #include and the new functions to main.c. It's small
enough to afford re-compilation every time.
I don't like having phony targets that cause something to be built
every time I run `make'. How about arranging for version-info.h to
depend on config.status and $(srcdir)/ChangeLog ?
You could extract the first line of ChangeLog like this:
version-info.h: config.status $(srcdir)/ChangeLog
[...]
sed < $(srcdir)/ChangeLog \
-e 's/^/#define VER_CHANGELOG_HEAD "/' \
-e 's/$/"/'
-e '1q' >> $@T
[...]
-rm -f $@
mv $@T $@
Note the use of a temporary file to hold the output, so that you never
use a partially-constructed file. And note the use of `-' before the
`rm'; on some platforms, even `rm -f' may fails.

FYI, the FSF lawyer recommends listing all the years in which changes

Maybe there's some -mgnu-as flag that would allow you to tell GCC that
the assembler to be used is GNU as. If there isn't, you'd have to
configure and rebuild *gcc* --with-gnu-as.
Another option is to write a wrapper script called `as', that removes
the `-n32' switch from the command line and calls GNU as. You'd have
to point gcc to it with -B/the/directory/that/contains/ the script
(note trailing slash!)

Thanks. Unfortunately, I'm about to leave for a 4-days trip, so I

It seems that there's something very wrong with CVS libtool :-(

Please let people in the libtool mailing list know about it.
Hopefully some of them may be able to help you work it out while I'm

AFAIK, there can't be \0s embedded in class names. And, in any case,

Not really. It just forces kaffeh to be built before it is used.
But, as you pointed out, when cross-compiling, we can't use the kaffeh
we'd build, because it won't run on the build machine, so we currently
require a locally-executable kaffeh to be specified in an environment
variable.
> However, kaffeh is built by default, anyway!
Yes, because, even though it is also needed during the build, it *is*
a development tool of the kaffe suite. Just like we install kaffec,
we install kaffeh, so that one doesn't need the Kaffe build-tree to be
able to generate C headers for Java classes.
It is possible to arrange that another version of kaffeh is built with
an alternate compiler, but it requires a lot of hacking, since a
separate config.h must be generated for this other compiler. The
easiest way to do it would be to have a separate configure script for
kaffeh. When Godmar first detected this problem, we decided this
would be overkill, and agreed to require a pre-installed kaffeh for
cross-builds.

You shouldn't have to. Please give it one more try, I've just fixed
the libtool bug that was causing the weirdness at install time. The
libtool snapshot I had installed in the Kaffe tree was much less

Yup, libtool doesn't quote them properly, so they have to be

Make sure no Makefile.in, configure or aclocal.m4 in your source tree
is different from the files in the CVS repository (cvs update should
do the trick, assuming you have downloaded the snapshot with CVS). If
you downloaded the tarball, you could start by touching, in this
sequence, aclocal.m4, configure, config/stamp-h1.in,
include/stamp-h2.in and then all the `Makefile.in's. This should
prevent any configuration file from being rebuilt locally.

Precisely. The classpath had to be quoted, to prevent semicolons from

Because of the misinterpreted semicolons, it was trying to run the

What do you get with `gcc -print-prog-name=ld'? What if you run
configure with bash (CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/bash /bin/bash configure
--args)? You might also try to get libtool.m4, ltconfig and ltmain.sh

Are there filename size limitations? For example, if the limit was 8
characters, it would try to read from `conftest' instead of
`conftestval'.

Ah, wait! This looks like an autoconf bug that mis-detects .xcoff as
the executable extension, just because the linker creates a file with
that extension *in addition* to the executable. I'm not sure the bug
has already been fixed in newer releases of autoconf, but you can
always override it by setting `ac_cv_exeext=""' in your environment.

to find them by searching in the category I knew they lived in.

If you think classifying bug reports is useless, we could probably
leave with just two categories: `open' and `closed'.
What you don't get is that the classification is not just for the
developers, when searching for open bug reports: users should also be
able to search the categories to find out which bugs have been fixed
and which have not.

In fact, a useless note, given that it's redundant.
But it seems that I'm alone in the ``deep understanding'' of the
underlying assumptions of Jitterbug. I wonder if Andrew Tridgell and
Dan Shearer share this sensation with me... Or maybe it's I that just
don't get it, and the `Message type's are just a useless concept in
Jitterbug, that's going to be dropped in the next release... :-(

That's exactly what we don't want to do, because we want people to be
able to find closed bug reports too, so that we don't get multiple bug
reports about the same problem, and so that they can tell whether
upgrading to a newer version will fix their problem. If we created a
single `closed' category, it would soon become a mess of unclassified
bug reports, which would make it *harder* for people to search.
This must be the 6th time I'll try to explain to Godmar and Archie the
way Jitterbug works; it seems to me they just don't want to understand
:-(
I'm Cc'ing the jitterbug mailing list to get better coverage and more
well-informed opinions.
Unfortunately, Jitterbug doesn't offer a `closed' attribute. Its
documentation suggests that `unreplied' and `pending' bug reports be
considered open. The meaning of `unreplied' is quite obvious;
`pending' is a bit harder, and that's where people get confused: a
report is `pending' if it hasn't been ``touched'' after the last
`followup' came in. ``touch'' means either `reply' or `change notes'.
A `followup' is a message that comes from the user (or anybody else,
for that matter, with a subject that identifies the Problem Report),
with additional information on that bug report.
So it's not a matter of being complicated (it is not!), it's just a
matter of understanding the concepts of the tool we're trying to use.
If it was done the way it was, there's a reason for that. You have
three choices: (i) understanding the underlying assumptions of the
tool and using it as it was supposed to be used, (ii) introducing
complication to make it work in a way it was not designed to, or (iii)
adopting a tool that matches your expectations.
Jitterbug assumes that, when you reply to a bug report, you're saying
`thanks for your bug report. The bug was fixed on release 1.2.3'', or
asking for further details, in which case you expect a followup. When
such a followup comes in, the bug report becomes `pending'. But maybe
it was just the user saying `thank you', so you may not want to reply
once again, then you can close it by just `changing notes'.
We could create one `*-closed' category for each `*' category, but
that means that, whenever we `reply' to a bug report, closing it, we'd
*also* have to move it from one category to another. Moreover, we'd
be introducing redundancy, since you can already know, in Jitterbug,
whether a bug report is open or not: if it is `pending' or
`unreplied', it is open, otherwise it is closed.

I'd rather have the `standard' behavior, in this case. You can always

Even though Archie has already installed this patch, I'm inclined to
revert it, because it will report incorrect information on platforms
that do not support shared libraries. ltconfig already reports
whether shared or static libraries are going to be created, and then,
it can be 100% positive, which your test cannot. Would you mind if I

Different CLASSPATHs may result in different offsets for fields of
some low-level system classes. Kaffe pre-1.0.b4 wouldn't check
whether it's using the appropriate bootstrap classes, and would simply
crash. Newer releases do check that, and try to flag an incorrect
CLASSPATH.

Which shared library isn't found? Is it running in the build dir or
after install? Which version/snapshot is that? There were some
recent libtool tweaks for HPsUX (it really does! :-(, particularly for
the dlopening mechanism, after release 1.0.b4, so a snapshot may be

Yep, but it doens't matter. Kaffe doesn't really look at
LD_LIBRARY_PATH or SHLIB_PATH; it's only KAFFELIBRARYPATH that
matters. You'd still be able to arrange for libkaffevm (the only
library linked into Kaffe) to be found by tweaking LD_LIBRARY_PATH or
SHLIB_PATH, but SHLIB_PATH is not searched by default on HPsUX. It
would only be searched if the +s switch was used when creating the
executable, but libtool doesn't use this switch, in order not the
change the system's default. Since it hard-codes the correct search
paths into the executable, this shouldn't be a problem.

It's supposed to be. If you don't think so, check libltdl/config.h;
it should `#define LTDL_SHLIB_EXT ".sl"'

Yep, but not with success so far :-(
Only two weeks ago someone spotted and fixed a bug in libltdl that
would prevent libltdl from minimally working on HP/UX. It's reported
to be working now (in libtool 1.3), but I don't think anyone has tried
Kaffe snapshots after my last libtool import. I'd appreciate any
feedback.

Actually, it seems that libtool configuration isn't capable of

Solaris/sparc, with various compilers and linkers :-(
Which release or snapshot of Kaffe are you using? What do you get by

Yup. Sun has recently released a lot of information about the
standard representation of serializable Core classes, which made it
possible for us to be compliant, even if the internal implementation
and representation of classes is different. We may have to write
explicit serialization code, though. TVT has recently contributed
serialization code for a lot of classes, but I'm not sure they've

They're copies of libtool's libtool.m4, and their existence ensures

used in any case.

Yup, moving it to acinclude.m4 would be nice, but there's no pressing
need for it, anyway. Its definition closer to its use is somewhat
clearer for autoconf newbies. And then, aclocal is deemed to die, we
just haven't figured out a good design to be able to drop it. So I'd
rather keep things as they are.

Maybe AC_kaffe_CHECK_LIB. Defining macros started with AC_ is good
because autoconf will warn if any such macro is not expanded for some
reason.

Yup, but it says that the method is *declared* to throw IOException.

Wouldn't it be better to have a separate `javac' script for this case,

Throwing FileNotFoundException is correct, but the method declaration
still says it throws IOException, so I did not install the .java patch.

Doesn't make much sense to me; `closed' would never be `true'. Maybe
you meant to set it to `true' in close(). And then, shouldn't it be
checked in *every* method, not only in ready()?

Nope, close() is documented as throwing IOException, we shouldn't drop
it. But maybe it shouldn't do nothing, behaving like in your proposed
change to StringReader.

The docs say they *do* define clone(), they just don't explicitly
implement Cloneable. I've installed only the part that removes
Cloneable from `implements'.
Thanks!

Yup. Adding them to LIBS, not to LDFLAGS, is the right approach.
However, since AC_CHECK_LIB *pre*pends to LIBS, we might have trouble
with dumb linkers that search for a library only in -Ldirs specified
*before* the library. But I don't know of any such linker, so we can
probably live with it, and I'm installing a patch shortly :-)

A patch that may fix this problem was installed yesterday. Note that

Nope, it has nothing to do with LD_LIBRARY_PATH or libkaffevm being
dynamic or not. The problem is that kaffe's configure.in
automatically adds -L/usr/local/lib and -I/usr/local/include to
LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS, respectively, in a way that they're searched
before files living in the source or build tree. So pre-installed
versions of libraries and headers may be used instead of newer ones.
IMO, that's a good argument for not adding those directories to the
standard search paths unless the user explicitly says so.

Given my Random generator, initialized with the same seed, I should be
able to generate the same sequence of prime BigIntegers on any Java
platform, otherwise WORA falls apart. That's why the standard Random
class is clearly specified, and that's why the algorithm for random
big prime generation should too.

But we're not talking about crypto-sized BigIntegers, we're talking
about the BigInteger class. It's supposed to be general-purpose, not
exclusive for use for cryptography. If it were, it probably wouldn't
be exportable :-)

But then it certainly won't meet the requirement about execution time
proportional to the value of certainty.

Nope, I'm just unsure whether testing primes sequentially does,
assuming that isProbablePrime takes constant time for a constant
bitLength.

You're free to implement whatever algorithm you want for big prime
generation in your own classes, but
java.lang.BigInteger.BigInteger(int,int,Random) must be completely
specified in order to allow for WORA. If this means using an
inefficient implementation, so be it.

Except that this may generate a prime with more than bitLength bits,
depending on the initial random number and on the number of failures
you get, so you may have to retry if it overflows. Furthermore, it
doesn't generate randomly distributed primes, and I'm not sure this
meets the requirement of O(certainty). Anyway, I've just committed a
version that does it. But it could be made much more efficient by
using a sieve, since isProbablePrime is quite expensive.
Nevertheless, the specification leaves room for a lot of different
implementations, particularly in the use of rnd, which is unacceptable
for WORA. Theoretically, given the same implementation of Random,
with the same seed, one should get the same sequence of random primes,
regardless of the JVM used.
Also note that your implementation will never generate 2 for
bitLength==2.

Yup. It seems that it does not properly support --disable-static on

OTOH, it won't create DLLs yet, so you might well go with
--disable-static, and everything should work. I hope this can be
fixed in libtool as soon as cvs.gnu.org comes back to life. It's been

The problem is that there's no specification about what to do after
generating a random number, nor does it talk about ``adjusting'' a
randomly-generated number so that it passes a primality test. For
example, Plumb's primeGen doesn't provide a mechanism to specify a
`certainty'.
Furthermore, Plumb's implementation accepts a rand function as an
argument, that takes only an unsigned integer as argument, to
randomize the increments to the base random number. I don't see how
Sun might have written a wrapper function that would call back the
Random generator passed as argument, since it wouldn't be able to
figure out which Random object to invoke... But then, this is not an
issue, since we wouldn't be using Plumb's implementation anyway.
I'm going to install a very dumb implementation, and improve it when I
get input from Sun about the actual algorithm that should be used.

Well, I'm currently writing it for Kaffe, but if it fits well into

I plan to look into it some day, since I want to get MindTerm (a GPLed

Anyway, I've filed a Java specification bug report, and they

Ok, this should be fixed in the CVS tree in a few minutes. The check
