[Aegisvm-devel] patches to apply to be able to run mauve

[Gildas B. <gb...@al...>]

Hi,

As I already told you, I've been trying to run mauve on aegisvm but with the 
current cvs version mauve doesn't even bootstrap.
I finally got it running though.

I had a really quick run at some of these tests and as you might already 
guess, there are quite a few which fail with aegisvm but at least now we've 
got an extensive testsuite to find and correct the problems :)

So to be able to run mauve you have to apply the following patches:
- jni.diff (patch that I already sent)
- bug.diff (fixes two important bugs in aegisvm. the commentaries in the 
patch should be self explanatory)
- other.diff (implements a few other things needed by mauve)
- finalize-hack.diff (nasty hack that comments out "throw new 
FeatureNotYetImplementedError()" in runFinalization() in java.lang.System. 
It's commented out because I don't know how to implement it properly.)
- jpr.diff (patch to j_utf8_scan_qualified_name() and 
j_utf8_scan_java_simple_class_name(). I'm not sure these are the right 
fixes for the problem but I know there definitely is a problem with name 
recognition as mauve and several other programs expect JVMs to accept in 
there command line names like foo.bar as a java program to execute)

Enjoy :)
