I've narrowed all the large HotSpot changes into one big ~3k line file, did an initial merge of solaris stuff and have a passing understanding of how that compiler does high speed mutexes outside of the pthreads system. I believe I have enough understanding of the code to actually do core work on it and I believe that I should have something ready for testing in about 4 weeks from this point. It's more unspeakably evil object oriented virtual machine hackery, kind of like another JVM that needs to be ported over with its own runtime system (threading, type, bytecode, etc...). I can't even begin to explain what I have to put up with just to get something simple conceptualized to a clear degree in some fashion... bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
