[Ikvm-developers] Link Error and System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException

[Enrico M. <enr...@gm...>]

Hi Jeroen,

I have a question regarding the 0.40 relase candidate 1. I try to
compile slf4j-api and slf4j-jdk14 in version 1.5.0 using the multi
target support. When I run
  mono ../../ikvm/bin/ikvmc.exe -target:library
{ ../../java/lib/slf4j-api-1.5.0.jar }
{ ../../java/lib/slf4j-jdk14-1.5.0.jar }
I get:
  Note IKVMC0002: output file is "slf4j-api-1.5.0.dll"
  Note IKVMC0002: output file is "slf4j-jdk14-1.5.0.dll"
  Link Error: Field "java.util.logging.Level.FINEST" is of type
"java.util.logging.Level, IKVM.OpenJDK.Util, Version=0.40.0.1,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=13235d27fcbfff58" instead of type
"java.util.logging.Level, IKVM.OpenJDK.Util, Version=0.40.0.1,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=13235d27fcbfff58" as expected by
"org.slf4j.impl.JDK14LoggerAdapter"

What exactly does the Link Error mean / indicate?


When I add the -r:../../ikvm/bin/IKVM.OpenJDK.Util.dll reference, I get
  mono ../../ikvm/bin/ikvmc.exe -r:../../ikvm/bin/IKVM.OpenJDK.Util.dll
-target:library { ../../java/lib/slf4j-api-1.5.0.jar }
{ ../../java/lib/slf4j-jdk14-1.5.0.jar }
  System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Argument is out of range.

    at IkvmcCompiler.Main (System.String[] args) [0x00000] 

When I add the -r:../../ikvm/bin/IKVM.OpenJDK.Core.dll reference before
the Util.dll reference, I again get:
  mono ../../ikvm/bin/ikvmc.exe -r:../../ikvm/bin/IKVM.OpenJDK.Core.dll
-r:../../ikvm/bin/IKVM.OpenJDK.Util.dll -target:library
{ ../../java/lib/slf4j-api-1.5.0.jar }

  Note IKVMC0002: output file is "slf4j-api-1.5.0.dll"

Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=13235d27fcbfff58" as expected by

But when I add the Core.dll reference after the Util.dll reference, I
get the ArgumentOutOfRangeException from above:
  mono ../../ikvm/bin/ikvmc.exe -r:../../ikvm/bin/IKVM.OpenJDK.Util.dll
-r:../../ikvm/bin/IKVM.OpenJDK.Core.dll -target:library

How come that the order of references has an impact on the outcome? I
hope this are not, again, Mono bugs :-)


I can send you the respective jar files if requested.

Thanks in advance,
